I use it for muscle soreness sometimes and it works well for me.

check in: SW:220ish CW: 218.2 GW: 165 Challenge Goal Weight: 205 I've started on October 9, I weighed 220, so i'm down 1.8lbs in 2 weeks, I was hoping to lose just over a pound a week, so I'm not far off from that. I've meal-prepped for 2 weeks in a row and I think it's really helping me control what I eat. I wasn't as…

Checking in, CW: 220.08 GW: 165 Challenge Goal Weight: 205 I've been doing better drinking more water, but I think I'm still not getting quite enough during the day. Heading into the weekend, I'm going to focus on sticking to my calorie limit on Saturday and Sunday, and getting at least 7,000 steps a day.

I'm in! I'll have to weigh myself when I get home, but I'm guessing I'm around 218- 220. I'd like to be around 200 (+/- 5 lbs) for the new year. the week I am going to focus on drinking more water. I've started dance classes 3x a week so that should help me with getting enough exercise.

I don't think bringing more than one snack to work is a good idea, I have no self control when I'm sitting at my desk, and there isn't really anywhere else in my office I could put things. I'm also thinking rice cakes with jam is a good idea, I'm going to try out these suggestions next week. Thanks everyone!

thanks guys! I'll look for those fiber one brownies and smart cakes at the store! I'll have to see if I can resist the temptation to just eat them all while I'm at home lol.

I'm not an expert a bulking up or anything like that, so take this with a grain of salt, but my calves always burn after my leg workout, and they're about the only part of my body where I can actually see muscle definition (I wish they were smaller but that's genetics for ya!). Some ideas from a ballet workout: 1. slow…

I found my phone and my fitbit were pretty much the same, as long as I carried my phone with me all day. I often walk to the bathroom at my office without my phone, so those steps don't get counted. If you take a lot of steps without your phone, then keep in mind it may not be accurate.

that meme is amazing!

I'm just starting too, and I have a fit bit, add me!

Another point to look at for all studies, including peer- reviewed studies, is the sample size, and the demographics of the sample. I was reading an article on the MFP blog the other day that cited a study which found that lifting weights at the beginning of a workout is more beneficial than cardio first. However, when I…

I find that when I'm at a restaurant or getting takeaway if I package half of it up right away (to use as lunch or dinner for another day) then I'm more likely to stay within my calorie limit. Also, logging before I eat something helps me out a lot to not go overboard. My fitbit also helps to keep me from lying on the…

Hi from the Rocky Mountains!

You may also want to consider the amount of sugar in the RedBull/ Monster/ Rockstar drinks. a Redbull has 10g sugar, so two of those a day plus sugar in your coffee already put you pretty close to the maximum amount of added sugar. Even if you're drinking the sugar free varieties, there are some studies to suggest that…

I went to Europe a few summers ago and ate more than I could have ever imagined! We also walked around for like 9+ hours a day. I gained a few pounds, but not enough to worry about. I wish I had tracked how much I was eating (and drinking!) though. When I was travelling, I kept a journal of sorts with my travel buddy, so…

can I join too please? I'm looking to lose 50-60 lbs

I just joined and don't know how to add a friend, but you could add me?

You may want to consider tracking your menstrual cycle and your symptoms (I use P tracker lite). Hunger like that could be related to your hormonal cycle, on those days, I just eat my calories and try to ignore the hunger (and end up complaining about how hungry I am to everyone who will listen.)

I read this article in the New York times about a study that found that people who ride roller coasters seem to pass kidney stones easier. https://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/04/science/roller-coaster-kidney-stones.html so maybe try hitting up an amusement park or a really bumpy road?
