I lost 45 pounds, got a new job, gained a little back but nothing crazy. Then my uncle who was the closest thing I had to a dad died suddenly and I gained it all back. I went through a lot of phases. First I didn't care about weight loss or anything really. Then I decided I didn't want losing weight to take over my life so…

I havent actually started yet! Haha. They're putting me on the schedule this week though so will update! I think it should be okay though. I did plan some meals that are larger for leftovers :smile:

From what I can tell I think I need more time to see if what I'm doing is working. I've lost a few pounds but it's hard to know if that's from what I'm doing it water weight. I'm going to continue going off of what the Fitbit says I burn during workouts. I won't eat all of them back to make sure I'm good to go.

Ya I don't pay attention the the calories they're giving me for just being alive. Seems like too many. But 700 didn't seem too crazy since my heart rate is usually around 170 the whole time. Do you track your calories with Fitbit? How do you only get 350?

I was just concerned because I lost a lot of weight a couple of years ago but I think I was usually around 1600-1700 calories a day. I was running but still not burning as many calories as I am now. I only really started paying attention to calories again at the beginning of January so I don't have a lot of data to go off…

I personally feel like they are high intensity. Like kickboxing and bootcamp. Before the Fitbit I had a polar watch with chest strap and they seem to be pretty close. If anything the Fitbit seems like it's less then what the polar watch said.

I think I have it set to one pound now but I'll take a look at it. I realize it's a lot of exercise but I enjoy exercise classes. I go to one at lunch and one after work and that way it doesn't seem like too much.

What do you mean? I'm not an idiot. I know how to add. For example, yesterday I worked out twice... The first one was 75 min and I burned 624. The second was 69 min and I burned 693 calories. Which is over 1200 burned. My calories on myfitnesspal are set to 1250. So if I'm rounding everything... Which I was..…

I track it with my Fitbit. I usually workout about 2 and a half hours a day. I'd show you a picture but I don't know how to do that here.

184 with a goal of 140-145. Hoping to get close to that by September. Going on a cruise! Add me :smile:

http://www.cookinglight.com/recipes/apricot-sage-chicken-carrots?utm_source=pinterest.com&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=cookinglight I've made this a few times now. Very good! I serve with mashed potatoes.

Something I cant seem to commit to is being mindful of food over the weekend (I dont count calories on Saturday or Sunday). I want to commit to it because I know that eating like crap during the weekend can hinder my weight loss goals but at the same time I don't want to stall my life for weight loss. I know the first time…

Today I'm feeling a little nervous because I have a meeting after work at a bar downtown and I normally wouldnt have the control to not eat or drink something. Going to dinner downtown Friday night so I need to be good today!

I know a lot of people have said to eat back half of the calories earned through exercise. Sometimes I eat back more then that but I think as long as your still under the calories earned throughout the day you are good to go :smile:

Thank you! I was trying to do it on my phone at first and it was not working out. Got it figured out :smile:

I honestly have no idea! Haha. Yesterday was like a whirlwind! Did all the laundry including sheets, gym, grocery shopping, took down Christmas tree (I was way behind on that), meal prep, and made dinner. I didn't sit much yesterday... The bottle of wine may have been fueling my movement. :smiley:

Today I feel excited and like I can do this. I worked out both days this weekend and meal prepped yesterday. I am all set for breakfast, lunch, and dinner all week long so I am feeling pretty successful already going into this week.

Week 1 Start Weight: 186.4 Challenge Goal Weight: 170 Weigh-in #1: ? A positive thought I had this week was: I exercise 6 of the last 7 days and I feel awesome about it! A healthy snack/meal I chose this week was: Peanut butter and crackers My most effective workout this week was: 40 min of weights and an hour long cardio…

How do you add people this way? I keep trying and have no idea! They only way I've been able to figure it out is by people's emails.

True! Thank you! I know a lot of these thoughts are cause I didn't do super well this week but tomorrow is a new day. I also just want to say that I am really appreciative of this group already. Normally I wouldn't have anyone to talk to about these crazy thoughts. Glad to have a group with like minded helpful people.

I definitely understand. Hard to just let go but at the same time you need to live your life and enjoy moments with your friends. :smile:

Super excited about finding this group! So I just bought a food scale and started weighing my food this week. Up until now I was just measuring things out with measuring cups. Yesterday I realized how many calories was in such a tiny amount of boxed mac n cheese. Very sad (my life will never be the same...haha.)! I was…

I have a Fitbit Charge 2! I actually just got it so I definitely welcome new friends! My email is kburkhardt08@yahoo.com if anyone wants to add me :)
