Okay, I'm in. This site is really motivating me, and I must admit THAT is not easy to do, considering I have been yo-yo dieting for 20 years. This is IT though! No more messin' around. I'm gettin' serious!
Current weight: 217
Goal weight: 150
Goal for Memorial Day: 195
Weight loss: 1 1/2 pounds per week (very doable!)
I'm also going to look into the blah to babe section. I love these kind of things! I bought a heart rate monitor and my husband and I have started wogging (walk/jog). It beeps at me to tell me when to speed up and slow down. My own personal trainer! We've wogged 3 days in a row now and I'm so motivated!!
I have 2 quick questions. Would somebody please answer them for me:
1) If I'm exercising, am I supposed to eat all of my calories, plus the exercise ones? I get 1,250 calories but whenever I put in my exercise amounts, it raises my calorie needs. How do I lose weight then??
2) I'm new to all of this posting stuff. How can I view replies to just my posts??
Thanks for all the great support. You are all wonderful!!0 -
i'm in too
current weight 149
goal weight 110
i'm only 5'0 so 110, would put me at a very good, healthy and lean looking weight.
i'm not sure that i will lose the 39 lbs, but i will certainly give it a good try
personal goals:
not eat out so often
use all three machines (eliptical, treadmill, and total gym) when i work out, and increase my workout time from 40 minutes per day to 60-90 minutes per day.0 -
What is a reverse crunch?
It is when you are lying on your back and instead of lifting your chest off the floor - you bend your knees and lift your pelvis off the floor .... it targets your lower abs. Very good to do .... I usually do my regular crunches, reverse crunches and then my obliques (love handles) - which is when you .... for example .... bring your right elbow to your left knee (twisting your upper body).
Hard to explain with words - I'm sure you could do a search on the internet and find pics.

i try to just eat what i need to eat, if i exercise and it increases my calories and i am truely hungry, then i will eat more, but if i'm not hungry, then i'm not eating just on a count of. i find that when i eat just to eat because the calories are available, i feel miserable....i feel bloated, and tired, and unmotivated cause my stomach is tore up. i consume the necessary calories, but then back of when my body tells me no more! good luck...you can do it.0 -

There is lots of information on your calorie question .... when you go to the Community tab there is a SEARCH bar - just type in a couple words and all kinds of matches will come up - things are discussed on here all the time. I have found out a lot of information by using the Search feature.
As far as viewing your posts ..... again under the Community tab - there is My Topics ..... just click on that and it will show you all of the topics that you have posted a reply to.
Welcome aboard ..... I have been a member since February and am ADDICTED!! Being able to log my calories and my exercise is a GREAT tool!!!! I really think about every little morsal that goes into my mouth ..... before I eat it I always think ...... now, how am I going to log this??? 9 times out of 10 I don't eat whatever I was tempted to eat.
Good luck to you!!0 -

Now, this is disappointing, but when I stop and think about it, I'm about to start my cycle any day, and 2 weeks ago I had a surgical procedure done to my girl parts which is probably aggravating things, so really I should wait and see until after my cycle, right? :brokenheart:
From here on out, I'm gonna use my home scale, that was the scale at my dr's office and since I won't be in there regularly...
so...

Good first week. I had hoped for a little more of a loss for my first week, but I'll take what I can get. I haven't weighed less than 213 since before Christmas, so I'm sure I'll break that barrier next week....yippeeee!! Plus, my husband will be out of town on business for the next 2 weeks, so I really want to surprise him when he returns. I want the results to be VISIBLE!!
Exercise has been going great. I actually look forward to wogging each day!! I've only done weights twice this week, though....so that's a goal I'll work harder toward next week.
Good luck everyone!! Keep up the great work!! :flowerforyou:0 -
