I guess more information is needed because why would you not?

This is so true! We make trips home to see family on occasion and we have tried to pack food or eat healthy while home but it just doesnt happen. Our eating and lifestyle is far from what our family's is. Needless to say it makes me more than happy to get back home and eat the same ole chicken breast and broccoli that I am…

yes^^^ yucky lol Is it weird I hate my toes popped?

If you are using dumbells because thats all you have access to above poster said it... do rows, you can do each arm to isolate or I use the bar and weights and do bent over rows. I do cable rows setting down on the cable machine too. Lat pull downs are good too He also suggested the doing negatives, I just posted something…

Do I eat my lunch I brought even though I forgot my bread for my sandwich or do I get something from the deli down stairs....decisions!

^^^^^ yes this and all of it. My boyfriend started a new job at a factory where alot of his co-workers are over weight and unhealthy. They also bring in sweets and have stuff brought in from local restaurants weekly and he ran into the same issues. Keep your head up, rely on those who are positive and forget those who make…

I weigh on a food scale in ounces, right or wrong I like it

My husky Milli!!

uh.... who wouldnt :)

Ive had a Flex for over a year and love it. It will sync with your MFP and really once you have wore it a while you feel naked with out it. I also wasnt doing cardio for a while just weights you can manually log these activites on the fitbit dashboard. Thats one difference I noticed, it gives you calorie allowance for…

4 bicep and tricep lifts... 40 mins on elliptical at level 7

I am 27 and I just started on the weight side of the gym a year ago as well. When they tell you not to worry about what others lift, listen, everyone is different in strength. I was curious as well so I did some research and googled online, but it still doesnt do much good. I know girls much smaller who can lift heavier…

I sit at a desk for work but get up every half hour and do some walking which isnt much but I cant sit all day long. I work out for about an hour a day. My goals are realistic, I am just down to my last 10. I didnt think about the average of my cheat if i spread it out. That could really be my problem is that my cheat is…

I have lost 20%! I have never thought of the percent until i saw this! whoop

Just how I have it split up i guess, I do muscle groups so I have a group every day except for my pure cardio day

^^^^^ I gained those 6 during the holidays so really it got me back down to 150 the same weight I have been with in a couple pounds for over a year

I will try making my cheats fit although it might not be a bad idea just to cut the meal all together, I have preached to others about quality calories and just because it fits doesnt mean its good. Guess I should be taking my own words :)

I have a fit bit, I have the flex. I do not know about the jaw bone but what I can tell you about the flex is this: The app and online dashboard are super helpful even for the basic that is free. you can track steps, food, water, sleep, other exercises and it will also tell you calories burned vs calories in. It tells you…

Iowa!! I should say go state but I am a Hawkeye fan!!

I use a fit bit and love it, to be honest the fit bit app has more useful information to me but not as many resources. I also have the fitbit scale, it all syncs together and I love it but totally not necessary like others above have said. I dont pay the premium on fitbit site so i only get the basic, but advice is harder…

I used to hate them now i can tolerate them. I started off with ones on my knees and it became easy quickly. Im still not amazing at them but better than I was by far. Thank you for all the suggestions! I will try the smith machine too, but like someone else said there are alot of people who use it, we tend to have to take…

I SOOOO wish our gym had an assit machine but it doesnt. Our pull up bars are in the middle of the cable machine I cant even jump up and grab them, So i may have to just use a bench. The negatives sound like a good idea. I will start doing them and see where I get! Thanks everyone!!

^^^^ and by rather large i mean no more than 750 calories but still a deficit.

I keep track of food on my fit bit app and I do weigh my food, my snacks, my meat ect. and I always show a deficit most of the time a rather large one. I am going to cut out my cheat days and start consuming more water and see what happens. I am 5'4 for those that were curious so yes i am considered over weight for my…

^^^ Some one finally said that dreaded word... water, thats one thing i am terrible at. My down fall might be carbs but I am high in protein I try to stay above 110g a day. A week is normally, chicken breast- Tuna-Tilapia- Some beef (93/7) nuts, greek yogurt, cheese, brocolli,green beans, cottage cheese, and some fruits…

Thats what I am doing currently Monday_ back 4 exercises reps of 8-10 then cardio Tuesday-Chest same as above Wednes -cardio and abs Thurs -bi and tri same as above Friday- Shoulders same as above Saturday Legs same as above Sunday-rest This has been my routine for a while. Soreness is at a minimum mostly sore the most…

Sounds good, I do measure however. We have a food scale and I weigh most things some i go by measuring cups but either way I try to be as accurate as possible. I have logged my cheat meals as well _being curious make me wonder how many I ate in one setting sometimes its scary!!! Thanks for the advice I may switch up my…

Iowa!

My diet in general is pretty straight forward not much alteration and most times I allow it to be counted on the high side of the calorie scale. Other things I have considered are that I have not changed my weight amount in close to 6 months, when I started lifting I gradually went up but have stayed the same, possibly my…
