If you don't like typical exercise activities, find something active that you enjoy but don't necessarily consider "exercise." Go for a walk, ride bikes with your kids, play basketball in the driveway, race someone to the end of the block.

Yes. Not only weight and body fat, but also performance, consistency, and body image goals. I'm a bit of an overthinker. Lol

Why grind them first? I *just* started incorporating flax seeds in my salads (for fat and fiber, specifically), but I didn't know to grind them. Thanks!

1. One egg yolk to four whites, add veggies, salt, pepper, and garlic. When cooked, you can use Frank's Red Hot sauce. Zero calories/fat/carbs etc, but it's high in sodium, so if you have a medical condition requiring lower sodium, be careful with that one. 2. You can uctually make sweet egg whites, since they don't have a…

Week 2 Day 3 complete!! The humidity was rough tonight, but I did it! :smiley:

I (thanks to advice on the Couch to 5k group on here :smiley: ) pair my Couch to 5k with Map My Fitness. If you connect My Fitness Pal to Map My Fitness, it will update automatically.

Whoa. Is that even possible?!?! Good luck! *Complete an unassisted pull up *Finish a 5k in under 30 min

Cottage cheese. Hard boiled eggs (you can just eat the whites if you want). Salad with added protein. Veggies cooked with bacon.

The most important factor is consistency, but I think it's helpful to weigh immediately after waking, after your first visit to the bathroom, before coffee/breakfast etc.

You might enjoy them. You'll never know unless you try :)

Thanks for the advice. :) I'll give it a shot!

Feeling terrible about missing the past four days... starting week 2 over TOMORROW!!! (My grandpa died, and the past week has been crazy busy with family stuff. No excuses, just life getting in the way.)

I've never had these kinds of tests done, so I may not be understanding correctly, but 79lb water weight +24lb body fat +60 lb muscle mass =163lb not the stated 132lb. What's with the significant discrepancy?

If you are trying to meet specific macros or following iifym or something similar, it's more important to meet the number goals than the percentage. I agree with the above poster that "calories are what matters when it comes to weight loss/gain," but little more included in that comment. First of all, as long as it doesn't…

That exercising can actually be fun, and I'd be grumpy on days I have to miss my workouts!

Honest question, here. Not trying to be a jerk or insinuate you're unwelcome, but why are you on MFP if you don't count calories?

10:18 and I'm making bacon and eggs... :)

You can just multiply your daily calorie goal by 7

Those classes would be considered cardio. For strength training, you should follow a structured, professional program that incorporates progressive lifting.

I'd be interested in joining :) thank you

Female or not, a beginner lifter should start with full body workouts 3 days per week, focusing mainly on compound lifts.

Week 2 Day 2 is in the books! Is it just me, or is this getting easier? ;)

Two days in... How you doing, girl? :)

My calorie goal is 1364, and my diary is open. Just don't look at yesterday. :( Not a good day.

I'm 907 calories in for the day and have eaten only 15 g sugar. I looked back through my diary to check, and I seem to average around 20 g a day (except yesterday, when I went nuts and tried to kill myself with excess calories...)

My thoughts exactly

I'm in Grain Valley, small suburb about 30 min east of KC

Definitely add in more calories for breastfeeding.

Make small changes to begin with. Maybe start by logging a few days of normal eating to see where you can cut back on calories with the smallest effort. Drink water instead of calorie laden drinks. Weigh all your solid foods and measure all your liquids. Also, when you feel "snacky," ask yourself if you're really hungry or…

Sugar and sodium aren't macros...
