Choose health...you're so young to ruin your bodies in such a self-destructive way. This just makes me sad.

I like to use my HR monitor for cardio.

Toledo!

Nurse

No way. And I save lives for a living. #ERnurselife

I would put lightly active. You're not sedentary, but you're not moving all day at work either I have mine set for active because I am an ER nurse and am almost always walking/running at work plus I workout every day.

Try calculating your BMR. You can Google BMR calculator and many will tell you what you need each day just to sustain your body resting all day, and what you need to cut out (calorie deficit) in order to lose weight.

There is a great 5k program that I always follow when I've taken a couple months off. You are risking injury by jumping right into 5 miles like that. Here is the link to the 5k program: http://www.feelgreatin8.com/feelgreatblog/5k-beginners-6-week-training-plan/ You can cross-train as well if you feel like it isn't a good…

I wear a HR monitor also and I've noticed when I log strength training into MFP it's right around how many calories I burned on my HR monitor. I don't log each individual exercise like you have the option to do. I just log the minutes performed under "strength training" in the cardio section

Fish has a significant amount of potassium too. As well as beef sirloin and poultry =)

Why don't you get a HR monitor? That will be way more accurate than any estimation

Fish: Halibut, cod, rockfish, trout, salmon and yellowfin tuna all have significant potassium and low carbs. Beef sirloin, chicken and turkey all contain potassium White beans Dark, leafy greens (spinach!!!) Baked potato (but that is a carb) Baked acorn squash

She needs to go to a psychologist. Eating disorders, and that's what that is, are VERY unhealthy. Maybe she should read some articles about those and the long term effects. They're not pretty and they don't make you pretty

Walking definitely does not build significant muscle. If you're in a caloric deficit you will lose weight muscle gain or not, if your weight is stable you're just eating maintenance calories for your weight. This probably happened because when you were larger your body was using more calories, then you lost weight and your…

Awww, that's a beautiful story!!!! My heart goes out to you. Friend request on it's way! =)

For the average exerciser trying to lose or maintain weight (i.e. someone who burns an additional 200-500 calories a few times per week), exercise calories don’t make up a significant portion of overall calorie burn, generally in the 1500-2200 per day range. Unless you’re exercising at a moderate to high intensity for an…

Definitely do rest days!!! Your body needs them!!

Welcome back!!!

I think it's very realistic! I don't think I would try to lose it too quickly (no shakes, crash diets, etc.), but if you eat healthy and everything in moderation, factor in reasonable portions and keep up your workouts you'll do great! I found that I lose weight and inches quickly if I do weights along with cardio. By…

I think that depends on your total caloric intake for the day and what your weight loss goal is. I don't think it's good to not eat back at least a majority of your calories if you're on a 1200 calories a day diet because 1200 isn't even healthy, especially for a long period of time. You need way more than that just to…

My friend tried this 6 week 5k training program (link below) and it was a huge success! Hopefully this helps you =) I am an avid runner, you can add me as a friend if you'd like! http://www.feelgreatin8.com/feelgreatblog/5k-beginners-6-week-training-plan/

Add me, anyone! I love new friends :) Especially if you're active, motivated AND have a positive attitude <3

Only buying healthy food and stuff you need to prepare is a good start. Once you get in the habit of it, it becomes easier to do. Are you eating enough snacks (high fiber and protein especially) during the day? Maybe you over indulge at dinner because your body is lacking things. I eat a HUGE breakfast, decent lunch, and a…

I am VERY active on here and try to be a cheerleader for all my friends. I'll send ya a request :)

I love allrecipes.com and tasteofhome.com because they both have a broad spectrum of healthy recipes. I've found quite a few great recipes on Pinterest too!!! Good luck!!! -Kylee-

After my first week of making it a part of my routine it was just a part of my day, every day. I feel incomplete if I miss a day. I think it was quicker for me because I swear I have OCD regarding routine and structure lol but it's nice because every morning at 415am I'm ready to go!

When I was in nursing school just learning about different diseases caused by poor health choices was enough for me to be healthy and fit. Things that motivated me: cute clothes!

Just keep your goals in the back of your mind and don't get discouraged!

Aww I've had days like that. I used to restrict things instead of eating in moderation. I haven't binged in a long long time because I don't cut out anything. I am disciplined but if I want junk or anything bad like that I just work out more that day or compromise something else for the junk I want lol. You're not a…

Iron and potassium are completely vital (especially potassium as it contributes to cardiac function) in order for your body to function. I have had issues my WHOLE life with low iron and potassium. I take a multivitamin every day now, make sure I replace my electrolytes after working out with Gatorade (when you workout you…
