implants and sports bras
Do you wear wired sports bras or unwired sports bras? I Had my surgery a year ago and I only have two sports bras with wires. I'm scared to wear unwired ones in fear of undoing all the work the doc did. Any help?

slowly gaining weight
So since probably the end of June I have slowly started to gain weight. I went from 142 now to 147 and sometimes even 150. My eating hasn't changed. My exercising hasn't changed. I'm just as active as I was this time last year. I have struggled to get to 142 and am really wanting to get to 135. The scale hasn't moved in…

Smoothies....

encouragement...
I'm starting week 3 day 2 tomorrow and I haven't seen any results whatsoever! I measured last Sunday (not last night) and it was a mistake all it did was depress me. I haven't weighed or anything this week because TOM is here so I figure the scale isn't going to be friendly. Once she leaves I'll weigh again and see if…

New here
Just started Turbo Fire Last Monday. So far it has been quite fun. The moves are a bit hard to catch onto but for the most part I keep moving even if I can't get the steps just right.

Lifting..
Gonna start lifting with med. dumbbells at home 3x a week. I was wondering for those that do how long were your results and what are the basic moves I should follow and how should I start I guess. I know I'm not supposed to work the same muscle groups daily but can I do a full body strength workout 3x a week or not?

To eat back exercise calories or not.
Ok I have been on this sight for almost 300 days...of those nearly 300 days I have gained and lost the same damn 4lbs! I ate at the low and high end of my BMR and all the time in between.

Absolutely confused...
I have read posts on here where women eat 1200-1400 calories a day and lose weight and get to their "goal weight" by eating back their exercise calories....
