Welcome! feel free to add me!

Trying to lose the last 10! before my half marathon in October! :)

I can TOTALLY relate to this. I'm almost terrified of all you can eats because I tend to way over do it. Congrats :) Feel free to add me!

I would love to be a part of this! I'm not doing total extreme 30 days. What I'm doing is trying to show myself I still have will power by saying "no" more often to treats offered to me. At work and social groups they are CONSTANT! Like today I said no to 4 people alone. So each time I say no, I write it down to have a big…

I read that pretzels, granola with fruit, an a bit of Gatorade are good snacks for during runs. Loaded up on that today at the grocery store. Have peanut butter and have been eating more potatoes and whatnot. Thanks guys!

Nope. I just don't eat too much meat. Once or twice a week max.

Update on me- I've been trying to run and stay active as much as possible. Working a lot on my mental self. Haven't over eaten in weeks. Great feeling

Hey hey hey... at least it's coming OFF for you all. I started a rigid exercise program and have been tracking religiously both food and calories with my Polar v800. I'm actually up a couple pounds since starting a month ago... -.- (hopefully it's just water weight from my muscles retaining though.... I've heard it can…

Perhaps. The class was in spanish so I just translated it to what I thought it would be. Perhaps it has both names because on youtube, crossfitters do "wall climb".

Mother of pearl. Are you a man? I mean that seriously- cause I know how insanely hard it is for a woman to do pullups due to the muscle layout. If you're a woman... MORE FREAKING POWER TO YA! If you're a man, also fantastic.

I'll take it as a fantastic sign my taste buds are changing because all that fat/calories packed into one meal sounds pretty... unappetizing. Point taken though. I added extra calories to breakfast and lunch to hit my reccommended value. I'm about 200 under (since I exercised) but I'm not worried about that. Hit protein…

@TrainingWithTonya @arditarose @3dogsrunning @3bambi3 I was reading some articles and one said this: "If you experience a significant weight gain (exceeding 5 pounds) that does not begin to decrease rapidly after the second week, guess what it is? I'll give you one hint... you put it in your mouth and chew it. You know it!…

Cottage cheese with pineapple sounds fantastic right now. I used to hate it as a kid but now it's the best thing ever. Also, of course you can't go without sugar forever :P Your body needs at least some to function- it's always just best to get them in natural sources and not processesed. For example honey is a good option.

Okay. To be honest I don't really mind not gaining any more muscle seeing as I already have a pretty large amount. My goal is mainly to lose the fat and gain the definition, so it sounds like that month shouldn't do too much damage.

Phew, that's makes me feel GREAT! "doing it right, you'll gain first". That's a hugh weight off my shoulders... ha. So another quick question- I'll be away from facilities for about a month. Will hard core body weight exercise help maintain it? Or will I be bound to lose some progress.

I don't weigh solids because I'm in the midst of an intercontinental move and my scale is on the way elsewhere... btu I try to overestimate the foods and I log every single thing I eat so I should at least be close...

Oh my gosh!! This gives me SO much hope. I always get self concious because I weigh more than some "flabbier" girls and actually, more than some boys my age.... but it gives me a great perspective that it truly is a good weight.

Okay I have a few more questions then: 1- How long should I wait till I start seeing loss again? 2- I run about 3-4 miles on the off days as cross training- does that help/ 3- Is it just fact that I lose muscle if I'm eating at a deficit? There's no way for the body to say "okay, fat time"?

I'm so glad I posted cause I was actually debating stopping since I don't want to get any "bigger" but it sounds like I should be safe for a while. If any of you are curious, pm me and I'll give you the password for my diary.

Okay that makes a lot of sense. That thought just crossed my mind- my muscles have been getting torn to shreds (or so it feels) and retention seems to make the most sense. Haha I'm not saying I'm some sort of roid lady, I just didn't know about some of this.

My hrm is a polar v800 that professional athletes use. I'd say it's the most accurate thing out there and it calculates my whole day based on intense formulas. Some at least has GOT to be muscle because I didn't have this big of arms when I flexed before. I'm doing cross fit if that helps anyone reading. I just don't…

So the difference between day one and today was 6.5 pounds. Can all of that really be water weight? I'm not drinking salt or anything...

I was on two different scales and maybe some was water weight? Regardless it was at least 3 lbs.

It takes time. At least for me it does. I used to chow on sweets and over time I just tried to eat less and less of them. Yesterday at our family's farewell there were loads of treats, cakes, chocolate bar snacks and more. To my sheer surprise, I didn't want to eat much of them. I settled for a waffle with a bit of syrup…

http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/106223-fit-before-fall is a group for fall deadlines if you're interested! We're all really supportive of one another.

How many calories are you on, laura?

JUNE: My goal shall be to workout 5 times a week. I always take Sundays off but may go for a walk or something like that. Come the first week of July I'll be headed to Australia... and want to look great for the cute Aussies ;)

I can't really say what works for long term weight loss other than finding something you truly enjoy and having a lifestyle as active as possible. For example I have a sit down desk job but I take the stairs, exercise on lunch breaks to get out of the office, and take as many trips across the office to the printer as…

http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/106223-fit-before-fall I created this! And I'm going to invite all of you to it once you accept my friend requests :)

I would say maybe change something slightly in your rutine? If you open your diary we could see how it's going and we could say more.
