The best time is whatever is convenient for you. I mainly do after work after work, at about 6:30pm.

3x, sometimes 4x a week.

Same here.

5'2, 183lbs, 12-14 bottoms, L-XL tops

Agreed.

My thoughts, as well.

Hahaha! That so accurately describes me, as well.

I'm not a big runner, but I do know that consistency is key to building stamina. Just keep doing what you're doing, and adding a little more distance each time. Take your time, you don't want to injure yourself. What you're doing now is a good workout for you.

This made me sad, as well

Haha! I'm laughing at your word choice, but I'm willing to bet that you do not look like a big toe ;)

I know a couple women that were on hgc - one was always irritable because she was deprived and hungry. She lost some weight...but gained it all back, of course. The other one was using it to get the last 20lbs off...she lost some of it, but just like the other woman, it came back once she got off the diet. I know you want…

Cupcakes were brought in for a co-worker's birthday today. I was about to get one and have it as an afternoon treat, but after staring at them for a good 10 seconds, I decided that they didn't look like they were worth it. I'm not sure how many calories are in one, but I'd imagine more than 250. No thanks, I have my own…

I try to ignore those types of comments (people saying not so nice things behind the comfort/safety/anonmity of their screen) because I realized people tend to say things like that to feel good about themselves. Like 'I'm so much better than that...I would NEVER allow myself to get THAT big', and they need to voice it so…

You may want to change your expectations. Losing 5lbs in a month, especially if you don't have a whole lot to lose, isn't really realistic. Just because you were able to lose it in the past (not sure how quickly) doesn't mean it will be the same in the present. You said it seems "harder", but the fact that it's taking you…

It may be worth it if you use it on a consistent basis. You said you hardly use the bike - any reason you think the treadmill will be used more? I mean, I know you said you'd "like to start running". Before I'd invest in something like that, I'd make sure I'm committed to a routine of working out on a consistent basis,…

Recently, while out at a restaurant, I had two glasses of water before my meal was brought out (I was pretty thirsty). By the time my food arrived and I started eating, I was so shocked at how "full" I felt after having just a few bites. And to piggy back what @TeaBea stated, eating slowly will help your mind catch up to…

Oh I see. Does this happen often, or is it around a certain time of the month (whether it's a week before your cycle or the week OF your cycle). I find myself craving more and being hungrier the week before. Also, do you allow yourself to have little treats here and there? I mean, instead of eating the entire box of…

Have you tried drinking lots of water? It definitely helps me out.

Exactly.

Maybe provide more info. Height? Current calories? Length of time you've been tracking? Etc...

Me too!

Not unless it's creating a caloric deficit.

Yep, credit is definitely due...nice going!

Good for you! Doesn't sound harsh to me at all, just no non-sense. :)

Not sure why you even said that. You're right about giving yourself a break while on vacation. I don't know too many here that would disagree with that.

Nah, kale tastes like dirt a little too "earthy" for my liking

It takes a lot to build muscle, especially for women, so I don't think it's that. And also, muscle and fat actually weigh the same, pound for pound. I just think she isn't in a deficit, so when she creates ones, she should start seeing results.

I'm still not sure what this has to do with the amount of food you're eating :/ .f he wants stuff himself, then so be it. Why do you feel like you have to do what he does? Perhaps, if he sees that you're buckling down, he may feel inspired.

Sounds like a good idea to me. But there are 4 other days left in the week to prepare and eat your own food so that you know exactly what goes into it and how to track it.

You can add me if you'd like. I'm supposed to be working on incorporating 2 servings of fruits and 2 servings of veggies per day over the next couple weeks...I'm lucky if i can get one serving of each in per day.
