Sometimes I get funny looks from the other (usually very thin) students. You don't see many 300 lb people doing downward dog! But it's great exercise, great stress relief and just plain fun. Your teacher should be able to show you how to modify the poses so you can do them. I know sometimes I am not strong enough or my tummy gets in the way. Or your teacher can show you a pose to do instead, like doing child's pose if you aren't ready for down dog. Good luck and have fun!

My cheat was eating vegan pancakes I made.. I'm finding myself frustrated over the lack of weightloss and hopefully it won't lead me to more cheating. Like eating pasta.lol
I'll weigh myself here in a bit. I know there is no loss though.
I wonder if I should lessen up on the amount of rice and potatoes I'm eating.. Or can it be the beans? My absolute favorite meal is rice with beans, tomatoes, onion and corn. Maybe it can be stalling my weightloss?
I really like rice with a little soy sauce too but it isn't very filling.
Oh, I'm STILL waiting on my treadmill too... So, should I try lessening my food first or just waiting to see what happens when I begin on my treadmill? Any suggestions?

For MWL, it you want faster loss, just make sure 1/3 to 1/2 of your plate is lower calorie density veggies. I keep a selection of frozen veggies in the freezer and just microwave a cup or two of whatever I am feeling like at meal time and top it with a nice low salt salsa or dressing. It crowds out the heavier foods without "cutting back."
