Garmin ViVo2 with heart rate monitor (chest strap) for me. I've been using it for 2 months and I absolutely love it. It tracks my sleep and shows deep sleep and light sleep patterns. The HR monitor is great. On some machines at my gym it syncs and the HR is pretty accurate as far as calories burned normally within 20-30…

Well I'm hoping for a loss of 1- 1 1/2 pounds on my weigh in next Friday which is why I'm not gonna step on while Aunt Flo is in town. She should be gone by Monday which gives my body a few days to adjust. I just want to be in onederland finally. I've been pretty good with my diet and exercise, but I think I could kick up…

I started every few days but as of last week I decided to change it to every two weeks.

I'm a salmon fanatic. I can eat it everyday with various seasonings added to it. I usually bake mine but I like the idea of trying to pan fry it. I've overcooked it a time or two and boy its' terrible when its overcooked and dry. YUCK

This is my biggest issue with the weekends. As a matter of fact on one of my food logs I just created an entry titled "Everything but the kitchen sink".... I logged it in at 2500-3000 calories. Because I just know it was a full days calories in just that one meal. LOL I regret those days, because it takes a full week to…

I've heard this before! I think I'll try it. But I've been pretty good so far. My sweet cravings have almost all but subsided. It's only been 3 weeks since I've started this journey but I think changing my overall diet has helped with the cravings. Just thinking about what it takes to burn those calories if I indulge in…

Thanks for this post. I'm investing in a scale today. I'm on the 1200 calorie plan and I haven't seen the numbers I thought I would so it has to be in the diet.

I've read this 10+ times and can't stop laughing each time I read it!!! Hilarious

This sounds delicious and low calorie!!

Thank you! I guess I'll need to invest in a food scale. I always rely on the label packaging.

I'm going to change it to 1lb per week.

GIRL BYE!!!

will do

Thanks for the info. I guess I need to change my goal to 1lb per week then. I have it set at 1 1/2.

I've read that also, but I'm afraid to eat back any calories. I know that sounds crazy.

Obviously you were trying to throw shade but you failed miserably. Know where in my post did I say I burn 4600 calories in a day!

MFP has me at 1270 calories per day. I try not to eat back any calories from exercise just because the scale isn't moving how I think it should.

It varies but its usually something like: * 2-3 hard boiled egg whites, 1-2 turkey sausage patties * 2-3 hard boiled egg whites, 1 chicken sausage patty * 2-3 hard boiled egg whites, 1/2 of a protein shake, and some fruit It's pretty simple so I need to work some variety in my diet.

Thank you!! It just seems frustrating because I feel like I'm doing everything right but the scale isn't agreeing with me. I log everything and I use my Garmin ViVo2 with heart rate monitor to accurately track my calories burned during exercise. I guess I'm not one of those people who can lose 2-3 pounds a week.

Ok so does this mean I need to burn more calories to see weight loss? Using the example i just posted should I have to burn 4600 calories in exercise to offset the 4600 calories in food i consumed?

I have no idea how to answer your question. LOL I just wanted to say you look FABULOUS in your profile picture. Hard work definitely pays off!!

With me I think it comes from fatigue and just my overall mood for the day. Some days I look forward to my workout other days I wake up in the morning dreading the fact that I have to go to the gym today.

Hilarious!!! Thanks for the reply though!!

Welcome back... Now time to get moving and drop those 20lbs

30 miles is my August goal.

1. Run the Navy 5miler on 9/20/15 in under 00:59:59. 2. Run the Army 10miler on 10/11/15 in under 02:00:00. (1st 10 miler) 3. Run the Miami half marathon on 1/24/16 in under 02:35:00. (1st half marathon)

I'm at 1200 calories but I'm only on day 3. :-( So far I'm fine with it and I exercise and I don't eat back those calories.

If you aren't seeing the results you want with the 30 minutes 5x a week of cardio I think the simplest thing to do is up your cardio by an additional 15-20 minutes for a few weeks to see if that makes a difference.
