I definitely don't burn 5-600 calories, I am not the best at doing spinning although I like it quite a bit. Whenver I take a class I usually quite a bit lower than whatever number the instructor shouts out. I usually end up in the range 300 ish and the 30-40 mins is including warmup and cool down. So far subtracting 50 off…

well it is summer, and no A/C so on nights when the apartment doesn't below 84-82 when I go to bed, I sleep on/next to an ice pack. So I would say half of my week, I sleep so-so but I have to wait till fall to fix that problem

I realized enjoy eating most of my calories snacking during the trip than eating large meals. I do stop for breaks and rest stops. So I bring strawberries, celery or other veggies that are cut up already to eat. I also get one of those mini cheese and nut samplers as a treat, which definitely isnt low calorie but it is my…

One plus of not getting in the zone... is the next time you do this workout.... the bar is super low. It is alot easier to beat a so-so workout. I always enjoy that fact and it usually spurs me on to really kill it so in the end, I'm probably about average. Also I had to learn to give myself a break afterwards on not great…

On hot summer days, I love eating enlightened or halo top ice cream. Today it is 92 out and my apartment has no AC, so I will be chowing down on the cold brew coffee "ice cream" which is 240 calories, 6g of fat, 24g of of protein, 20 grams of fiber I also make yogurt bowls for lunch with fage nonfat greek yogurt with…

Do you have a food scale? Do you meticulously use it? Accurate logging+ calorie deficit will help you lose the 10lbs and good habits

I do morning and evenings sometimes because I just have a lot of hobbies or need a break from work sun: 5mile run, a light horseback ride in evening mon: weights at gym+elliptical midday tues: spinning morning wed: core exercise class evening +elliptical warmup , thurs: horse ride morning + elliptical in afternoon fri:…

I eat like a hobbit, so most days my calories are spread out fairly evenly over the meals first breakfast , second breakfast, 11am snack, lunch , afternoon snack, dinner, dessert except 1st breakfast and 11 am snack is smaller than the rest. But none of the meals end up being more than 500 calories.

"still relax and enjoy variety in your diet" --> preplan , guestimate, go to the gym extra, go on extra walks. On a cruise ship if it isn't too small they usually have a place to walk around the ship deck marked. I used to put on my ipod and just walk in big circles for an hour or so. Some ships have gyms so I would go to…

I managed to cram in some extra exercise to give me some more flexibility in eating, but I did manage to only eat out once per day, which my mom was happy with but to the dismay of my dad. I did feel guilty not going out more but I am also trying to create and keep a positive relationship with food. While none of the…

nvm this is an old post

Sorry about your kitty

And yes being in the healthy range and trying to lose the last couple of pounds generally will lead to a slower weight loss. But it’s a good prep for maintenance, where you will pick a range and perpetually lose and gain within it.

Got mine for about 15$ from wegmans. It’s the Taylor brand. Most useful features are 1 being digital 2 can do grams and pounds/ounces And most importantly 3 the tare button which lets you zero the scale with a bowl or food on it. Also weighing things is less hassle then measuring out food with cups and what not because you…

lol they took two sample mostly, sometimes three. That isn't how science works. If I only needed two sample to prove results I'd be done with my PhD now. @Aaron_K123 the article definitely has no scientific meaningful proof. Also only writing a scientific article with only analyzing two samples is RIDICULOUSLY suspicious.…

I've been cravings nut butters pretty strongly for the past couple weeks and I'm usually low in fat and over in meeting protein and fiber macros because that what keeps me full. Went out to eat and had fajitas where the chicken and veggies were definitely cooked in butter and the past three days I haven't had a strong…

Not all veggies are that low in calories especially the starchy ones and could add up in errors especially if you are eating close or back all your calories you might be going over in a lot of days. Sweet potato, avocados definitely can create big errors. Not sure if you weigh fruit, but that can hard to eyeball too.…

myfitnesspal seems to give an accurate calorie estimate for me for walking. I pick between 2.5 or 3mph settings and input my time. I have been using it for over a year with success.

Definitely see your dr. No this is NOT normal. Besides the period are you noticing any other problems throughout the month or is everything happening in the period week Are you on birth control? Perhaps the stress of counting calories is making your periods wacky, the stress of college alone made mine so irregular that I…

It’s nice to see others with bloating sometimes it feels like it’s just me when you’re inundated with pictures on the internet. I bet if I drank less seltzer water and chewed less gum I’d be less bloated a lot. Also I love my broccoli cauliflower and beans 😂. I with the others that’s it’s organs and genetics, because even…

I put reddi whip on top of strawberries now it is pretty tasty. Also have people who love pumpkin used pumpkin spread before? I recently saw it in the grocery aisle and bought it. I put it in greek yogurt for lunch, but for a dessert mixing in 1 tsp with 1/4 c of oatmeal reminds me of pumpkin pie or a pumpkin cookie. Also…

That formula definitely is quite off for me based on myfitnesspal. I would be undereating by 100 calories or so. It also might depend on what speed you are inputting. I measure my time and distance so I know if I am going at 3mph for walking and 9 min per mile for running. A 3mph walk, covering 4.5 miles gives me 290…

@tbright1965 I have never asked for subbing in saute veggies for rice, which is a great idea. At my favorite mexican restaurant I usually find that I wish the veggie portion was twice the size and I would happily skip the rice and beans. @kommodevaran and yes I am definitely a food snob when it comes to what I am willing…

Try out walks, and ease back into the running after a rest which depends on your severity perhaps a week. Buying extra cushion supportive foot inserts fory running shoes has helped me alot! Also do shin strengthening exercises! Reverse heel lifts work wonders for my shins. I know sitting around isn't ideal but there is no…

Is this different from regular menstrual cramps? I find as long as my cramps aren't bad enough that I can't move, exercise helps "relieve" cramps. A long warm up helps alot. By relieve I mean, pushing myself in spin class into the uncomfortable but I can do this zone makes me forget about the cramps. Any uncomfortable due…

I love eating the same food over and over again (it is a weird habit). I did the same exercise set as last Friday and so far have eaten the same breakfast and lunch as last Friday but I am wondering how my afternoon snack is going to last me till dinner, whereas last friday I was fine! It has been a hungry week.

I pre-portion out my cravings and make sure I eat some of what I am craving each day. This past cycle was peanut butter, so I measured out 5 days of advance for peanut butter to eat with brekky each day into little containers then stuff that peanut butter jar in the back of my pantry. So only one day did I fish out the…

I'm really not a fan of SUP. I wouldn't say I hate any activity because I guess I'm a pretty positive person who will try nearly anything once; but, I will be very happy in my life if no one ever wants to do it again with me. I definitely will never seek it out on my own and will always choose kayaking over SUP. I thought…

I only aim for 2lb window, but my PMS fluctuations is max 1 lb usually less. I also tend to eat moderately low sodium and dine out rarely so I see little fluctuations from that. If you have 2lb fluctuation from PMS then the 2lb window is going to wreck havoc on your nerves even if you "know" it's your cycle. I would opt…
