Okay! I'm absorbing the input lol. Thanks so much! You're all so right.

I totally understand. I have the same problem but when I do really well at moderation and self control for a few weeks, it helps curve cravings. Especially if you allow yourself those things just throughout your everyday life and fit them into your calorie goals, you will find out whether it is or isn't worth it to you to…

This is my ab workout! Yes! :)

Hi! I'll be a buddy! ^.^

Cookie dough ice cream ftw!!! That's some spin class inspiration for sure lol!

Wow you guys are throwing out great advice and tips everywhere! Thanks so much! I'm definitely taking notes:)

They're actually PACKED with calories and many are quite delicious lol.. I would def gain weight.

That's interesting! :open_mouth: I usually sprint at 9.5 mph on an incline of 1.0 Are you saying that even if I workout at this speed every time, my heartrate will vary each time? Very interesting! I would love to hear more about this. Haha and another reason to get an accurate HRM I see!

FANCY! :D I want that!!! Adding it to my little 'research on amazon' list :D

Gotchaaa :) Okay, yeah I'm def gonna look into it. And I certainly get super frustrated with holding the stupid sensors... my husband sprints next to me and he can attest that sometimes I get so mad I start hitting the thing, LOL. It's SO slow

In the military... Lol I've never heard of this "military diet" thing... unless you're talking about eating at the military dining facility three times a day hahaha.

Thanks! Yeah I'm considering in investing in one after what I'm hearing. Good to know the machines are inaccurate because I totally feel like I'm gonna die after my sprints lol

If you're talking about something estimating calories sure, but that's not what I'm asking... If you're talking about it estimating heart rate, then I don't get it.... I'm asking about heart rate because I'm trying to get to at least 90% of my max for these sprints.

Very helpful reply, thanks. I will look into that.

like I said , I held it for my rest interval. I'm not concerned with calorie burn, just heart rate

Awesome to hear it's making sense for other people! :D And yeah Staci good point, it sure does help keep the food relationship healthy.

That's a good strategy I think! It's more of a long term plan and makes sense :) Good job! Haha I really should do more activity on the weekends.. a long walk is a good idea

Awesome!! :D Same here

Yeah girl it's gonna fluctuate. :) What I do is weigh myself a lot because I like to see it fluctuate out of curiosity (with this on, with that on, after I use the restroom, etc LOL) but I only like officially "weigh in" on Sunday morning, after restroom, and sometimes every other Sunday. If the fluctuations bothered or…

You can do it!! :D I will send you a friend request!

You look awesome as is girl and soak in the good advice these people are giving you! Also just wanted to suggest P90X because it's cardio and weights and worked wonders for me when I stuck to it! :) Good luck and don't get discouraged, love your body, you rock. xo

Hmm true, good idea! Like I said I'm just getting started and getting into a groove of what works for me right now, but that would make things even easier. :) By the way I'm actually pretty athletically built and have quite a layer of fat on me... so I am a tad confused as to why I've been criticized for wanting to lose a…

My husband packs my lunch sometimes and writes all the cals added up for me. It's sweet. And okay, good advice.

By the way I'm 5' 8" :D

Alright please no judging about this. I've already made a big leap by getting back to logging at all. Thanks! And yeah, I will change it to .5. :) Thanks for that, I feel better about myself now haha :D <3

Ooo gotcha. I didn't know you could do that, actually. :) Will definitely keep that in mind. I will try to get to the point where I start weighing food and all that. Still trying to keep my mind in the game by doing this bit by bit, but everything you're saying makes perfect sense and it'll be my goal to get there. THANKS…

Gotcha. That makes sense. :) And that's encouraging that .5/week has been working for you! :) I'm thinking I might need like a no counting day once a week or something to help me adjust... I know that's kind of a controversial topic on here but it would really help me stay focused the rest of the week. It's a big mental…

Thanks so much!! <3

Alright well I appreciate that advice so thanks for your time. <3 And as for lowering it to half a pound per week that is a brilliant idea and will probably be way easier for me to stick with. :D I didn't even remember that option. Woohoo!

Y'all know the drill. Full time job, and as an Arabic Linguist I am always stressed and studying. Quick adding is really most possible with me in my workplace most of the time.
