Does it take you a full hour to drive to work and then to class? If not, you could try fitting in 30 minute walks at home and at school before class.

People would probably stop going through the trash if they were to find that. Win/win.

Check out the other two levels and see if your body can tolerate those until the shin splints heal?

Marilyn Manson - but I like "Beautiful People" and his cover of "Sweet Dreams".

You put height, weight, and to lose 2lbs per week, right? You need to adjust your goals away from 2lbs a week. You only have 26lbs to lose according to your ticker so you should be trying to lose more like a half to one pound per week. Generally someone with a BMI over 32 can do a 1000 calorie a day (2 lbs a week) deficit…

I saw it somewhere and stole it. Ah... "borrowed" it.

Just look at the face: it's vacant, with a hint of sadness. Like a drunk who's lost a bet.

I'm finding that I have cheek wrinkles when I smile now that I have lost some weight. I guess I stretched my facial skin too much when I gained weight.

http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/654536-in-place-of-a-road-map-2-0-revised-7-2-12 I'm not a short girl who works out hard and frequently but the link I've posted will take you to a site that will calculate everything out for you so you will know how much to eat. :flowerforyou:

Do you have your settings set at 2lbs/week? Like Corkline said, go to "My Home", "Goals", choose "Custom" and then put your calorie goal into the spot up top.

On the bright side, at least you know the chicken is real chicken and not pink slime!

No, it isn't private. The title says "Members Only" because she wanted people with ADD/ADHD to respond. I don't have it but I am married to a man who has ADHD, non-medicated. I don't like who he is on the medication. I'd much rather deal with who he is than with who the medication makes him.

What do you expect from a 13 year old kid?

How is dancing not aerobic? That's my favorite form of cardio so I'm wondering now what I'm doing wrong.

Fage 2% with honey is the best one but if it's not on sale I can cope with Chobani in honey or vanilla. My mix-ins are granola and chocolate chips with either raspberries or blackberries.

I'd leave your activity at sedentary and not count the shop work. It's like me working a desk job and counting the trips to the printer 3 yards away - even if I make that trip 20 times in a day, I'm not going to count it because it doesn't get my HR up.

Stop weighing multiple times per day. The once or twice a week is better because it shows an overall trend. If you're going to weigh every day, weigh once in the morning before you eat and after you've used the rest room. It's normal to fluctuate the way you do, especially with a new intense workout. Water retention,…

If you're morbidly obese, maybe.

I eat it every day so that I wont binge - I've done it before by trying to abstain completely and I just wont go through that again. Chocolate with my breakfast and usually a junky snack or two, especially if there are goodies at work. The trick for me though is that I have a tiny bit. Someone had german chocolate cake in…

Plain greek yogurt tastes similar to sour cream. If you'd be willing to sub sour cream for mayo then use the greek yogurt. I'd do it because I love greek yogurt. Hummus has its own unique flavor that takes some getting used to (in my mind). I wouldn't but if you like it then use that.

It may help if you can pinpoint what it is specifically that your body is craving. If it's meat, get a small steak you can't over eat on. If it's chocolate, get only one small piece of really, really good chocolate. If you're finding that you don't really crave any specific thing, more the sensation of being full, get the…

Coffee with Splenda and Bailey's Irish Creamer Cranberry and almond clusters granola Fage Total 2% Greek Yogurt with Honey Semi-sweet chocolate chips Blackberries 451 calories of deliciousness.

Tips: Buy only what is on sale then figure out different ways to put it together as a meal. Buy the meat that is marked 50% or 75% off then cut it down to single portions and freeze or cook it right away, portion, then freeze it. One lb of meat divided into 3oz portion sizes = 5 servings. Ramen noodles are fine but make…

My husband and I hit Kohls. Almost $300 worth of clothing for $30 after sales and gift cards. 4 shirts and a pair of pants. The best score was a $125 cowl neck cashmere sweater - originally $125 marked down to $25.

If she drags her feet when you try to help it'll be worse if a cleaning crew comes in.

Great post SHBoss. I know my scale lies to me. Sometimes I love its little white lies and sometimes I hate them but mostly I'm just amused. 7lbs down in a whole week? WOOHOO! I know I'm not really down that much but it's good to track my body's trends so I log it anyway. I log those pesky upticks too.

Yes, I'm sure that's why her 3 DOCTORS are telling her to stop losing weight.

47lbs in 4 1/2 months averages out to about 3.4lbs/week. How much of what you see as "fat" is really loose skin? It can take time for your skin to tighten back up to the way it is supposed to be when you lose rapidly. 23.3 BMI is fabulous and healthy. Congratulations and well done! You pay these doctors to look out for…

I started as a borderline 24. Now I am a size 14/16 and maintaining while taking a little break. Slow and steady is what is going to win the race for me. No pics. I'm not ready yet.
