    I am in the same position as you. I am 23 with 50+ pounds to lose. Previously, I would always make excuses. But not anymore I am motivated and will not allow anyone or anything to stop me especially something as small as food. Please feel free to add me. I love having people for support. :)

    So here's my post on here for the day, I don't know what to do at the gym!! I am on an off day for Zombies! Run and am not sure if I still want to do cardio today or if i should do some weight training? Thoughts? Suggestions? If I did weight training the areas i'd like to work on are arms, chest, and back.. any good lifts for those?? ugh....

    I would suggest a routine like Starting Strength, Stronglifts or new rules of lifting for women.

    These are aimed at giving you a good base of strength - an ideal start to then focusing on specific areas if that's your intent.

    a wise person once told me "you can't out exercise your fork"

    I use that daily to remind me to be vigilent about what I put in my mouth

    My diary and weight log suggests otherwise :).

    Ok - to be fair, I DO have to restrain myself. But we're talking the sort of restraint that saw me eating almost 4000 calories on Sunday, including a whole tub of ice cream, crisps, chocolate, custard and so on.

    Of course, I made sure I had burnt the calories BEFORE (I was cycling to the next town to do some stuff to my van at a friend's house - probably could have taken the bus or a train, but it'd have taken just as long and cost me.

    Oh and that was one of my eating UNDER net calories days!

Run! and i was seriously drenched when I left the gym... My HRM clocked me at 788 calories for just under an hour of running... which is good because I went way OVER my caloric goal!! =P Hope everyone is working hard and had a fantastic May Day!

    Here's my post for the day, I ran a Spartan....and it was AWESOME!!!! I finished! Was a little bummed I didnt get my "goal" time of under 2 hours.. but i was only a little off!! I think it was about 2:15, 2:20ish..!! Not bad!! It was such a great experience and is a major reason for not logging food today! I didn't eat very much because I was so excited it was making me sick!! But I am having a nice bowl of pasta now! Yum! 7 hours of driving and running the 4.5 mile military sprint (ya it was longer AND had 25 obstacles!!!) I am EXHAUSTED!! I hope everyone else had a wonderful Star Wars day!!! I sure did! (and was sure to run in a darth vadar shirt =))
