I go to karate twice a week that starts immediately after I get off work, and I also go to the gym right after work another day. I personally don't like to workout after eating a meal, I may eat something small like a granola bar to tide me over after work, but my dinner is after my workout is done. It just works better…

1 hour 20 minutes down!

Dogs have such a way with humans. They know things we will never know. And I am so glad that she was able to help you get started on the road to being healthy. I have a lab puppy right now, he started me on daily walks. I cannot imagine what is going to happen for me when it is his time to go. They are just truly…

I log all my food and exercise. Feel free to add me!

I personally don't know what the stronglift program is, but I would do a mix of cardio and weights. Both have helped me, plus for me, the difference makes it easier for me to keep with it. Congrats on starting your exercising! Good luck with it and feel free to add me as a friend, I love to help motivate people and have…

I just came up with a new mini goal last night. While cleaning I found a shirt I bought that is VERY tight on me. So I want to fit into it! I can do it!

I have been overweight most of my life so far, and I decided I am going to change it. As for some side little reasons aside from that one: I want to be smaller than my boyfriend so I can wear his shirts to bed and they will be comfy, I want to be healthy for when we have kids, I want to prove to the world that I can be…

I didn't read all of the other's post, so this may be repeated. But I drink a lot of water which helps me feel fuller. I also like a piece of gum when I know I don't truly need food, but I want something in my mouth. Another helpful thing is to eat filling foods. Find out what makes you feel full longer, and use those as…

Planet Fitness. Pros: Cheap at only $10 a month. There are a LOT of cardio machines so even in January (because of the fun new year's people) I don't have to wait for a cardio machine. No one really talks to me at all, which I like when I am working out. From what I can see, most people wipe down machines after using them.…

I also have very bad knees that only surgery can actually fix. I use the weight machines at the gym for my leg day as squats and lunches hurt my knees way too much to be helping me. I slowly add weights and when my knee is hurting, I take away some weights. I also do karate, but wearing a knee brace helps for that. Good…

As soon as I get up I have a glass of water, then I go straight on a walk with my dog for at least 40 minutes. After that I have breakfast.

This sounds like a great way to motivate me! Original starting weight -243.2 June starting weight -233.4 June goal weight -228 Ultimate goal weight -175

I would love to join this! How often should we post our totals?

I have made egg muffins, which is basically scrambled eggs baked in muffin tins and frozen individually. You can add spinach and other veggies or meats with it just like you would regular scrambled eggs. I have also made quesadillas before. Basically you put the one tortilla down, fill with pre-cooked toppings of your…

Great job! Definitely motivating!

I know sometimes frozen berries works for me. They are sweet, and the frozen aspect makes me think it's like an ice cream treat or something. :)

I walk every day for at least a half hour, but usually longer. Then I have karate twice a week and practice other times as well when my schedule allows. I use weight machines twice a week. Do what is best for you.

If you are trying to lose weight just make sure you eat less calories than you burn. If you follow this you will be great. Of course, eating healthy foods helps too, but really it is all down to calories. And welcome!

I allow myself one or two days a week to go over calories. I log these all the time. But I also never eat my exercise calories, so I always have 'extras' around. Like yesterday, I decided that I wanted to pig out with some pizza for dinner and chips as a snack later. I also had an alcoholic drink. My total calories for…

I also tried it a few times and didn't really enjoy it. I mean it's good for a quick burst of something, but I also wish it had yoga for android. Thanks for the suggestion of Nike+ Training! I will be trying that out!

I went to a concert once and was moving a little in place. When I looked later it said I went on an 'outdoor bike ride'! lol, that was funny to me.

I'm interested as well!

I typically change my music every few weeks. For me it keeps it fresh. I also switch it up with Audible for books. Right now though, I have come back to bands like Avenged Sevenfold, Five Finger Death Punch, Fozzy, Cold Kingdom, and more. I feel that these songs motivate me to walk faster. But the most important thing is…

I would love to have more MyFitnessPal friends! I am trying to build up my friends list right now. So everyone feel free to add me!
