  • Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes. Today was my active rest day but I cleaned out my minivan, organized and hauled too-small clothes that my boys have outgrown to the basement and pulled weeds. Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Barely, but I did it. Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank?…
  • At least 2x a week I work out twice. I usually don't double on on harder exercises (spin in am and then a 4 mile run in the evening is not something I want to do, but one of those paired with hot yoga and I'm okay). On Fridays, I have a yoga class followed by a cardio kickboxing class. Of course, it has the benefit of…
  • Some of my favorite lunches when I work are (and most are easily googable or search pinterest) Honey sriracha meatballs with either brown rice or cauli rice Taco salads/taco bowls tuna salad with celery and crackers to dip Bagel with cream cheese I like homemade snack plates too- crackers, cheese, pickles, olives and then…
  • Nuts, almonds. Wasa crackers with laughing cow cheese and a few slices of deli turkey. Sometimes I add cucumber or peppers. Popcorn I like some of the RX bars.
  • Go to a running store and get properly fitted. I know a lot of people like the couch to 5k, I just had an experienced runner and trainer plan out my runs/walks. Now I am training for a half and using the race set training plan ( you input your info including last race time and length, goal time, body specifics and how…

  • Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes. A 2.5 mile hike this afternoon and then a 3-mile run/walk this evening. Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes. Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes. For the question, in general, I find that restricting something usually leads me to over indulge or…
  • thanks. I went back and just used the last calories burnt for those exercises!
  • Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes. 40 or so minutes pf Just Dance and then a 1.5 mile walk. Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes As far as the question goes I played with the kids and did some gardening.
  • I fit the drinks I want into my calories for the day. Though I notice it's harder for me to stay on track after a couple.
  • Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes- spin class and then walking for about 45 minutes Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? No and Yes. I'm pretty sure I did but my Fitbit went dead halfway through my workout. And thus it also didn't "count" my 45-minute walk. Did I keep track of everything I ate and…
  • I've had 3 surgeries between the two and headed for another one soon. Walking, swimming and even some slower-paced running have been fine. As has most of yoga (I use a blanket sometimes for more support/double mat). I can even do spin as long as I don't have it next to a running day. I can't do any jumping so I avoid those…
  • Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes. Walked, instead of driving to pick up some mail that needed signed for I walked to the post office. 22 minutes according to my Fitbit. Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes. Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes.
  • Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Oh yeah! I went on an intentional walk plus all the walking for a parade, car show, games etc. Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yup. Thanks to the above 2 hour walk. Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes.
  • Participated in a 5k last night. I ran the first 1.37 at a slow but steady pace without stopping (that was 17 minutes and 3 seconds and the farthest I have run without stopping). Then I stopped running. I told myself I would continue running after walking 2 minutes but I could not get my legs to go back to a run. I ended…
  • I just try to come as close to possible. Also, for a lot of non-chain resturants they can probably tell you. My husband worked as a chef for 15 years and I was a server. Every restaurant we worked at had some idea of calorie count, even if not posted on the menu. I just gauge for portion size, if I'm with my husband he's…
  • I haven't yet but at my last doctor appointment, the doctor told me if I lost another 10 pounds before my next visit to let her know as she may have to adjust my HRT dosage.

  • I have a tight left calf. Not sure why and nothing so far fixes it. Properly fitted shoes helped a ton but I still get it sometimes. I would get soreness in just that left calf all the time before. I did not get that soreness in Spin or any other exercise except running, even at a slower pace (let's just be honest here- my…
  • Yay! Good for you. I love hot yoga. It's been very good for my mind and my body.
  • 2 mile walk with the kids today and then 40 minutes of yoga.
  • Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? -Yes. A 2-mile walk and 40 minutes of yoga. Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day?- Yes. I was actually a little worried I wasn't going to as I snacked a lot today but I managed. Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes.
  • Are you actually sleeping though? I know many people who say they get 7 or 8 hours of sleep but are actually getting the equivalent of 4 or 5 hours due to various issues involving sleep. A sleep study might be helpful if you are confident in the blood results. Many doctors will not run a full thyroid panel so you may also…
  • Hi, I have Fibro, thyroid issues and RA. I started having symptoms when I was 19. They pretty much went away until age 22 and have been particularly bad since age 25/26. My main symptoms are/were joint pain, swelling, redness, tender points, extreme fatigue, weight gain and rapid weight loss that comes in bursts every few…
  • I did. I set a goal to: Participate in a 5k- DONE Run a 5K- still a work in progress Lose 50 pounds- over the half way mark
  • Hello. SW- 250 CW- 230 UGW- lower 130's. My goals for July are *Run 6 miles per week *Lose 5 pounds *Continue to make a better habit of drinking more water
  • -I can't wait to shop at some of the cute little boutiques near me. They have such cute shirts but in store none of them carry past an XL, sometimes XXL and they tend to run small anyway. Etsy has been great but $$$ for finding those same shirts. -I also *fingers crossed* hope that weight loss will help some of my fibro…
  • I set my own. MFP told me 1200 and then 1350 and my doctor and my TDEE calculations told me 2100. I decided to split the difference and see what happened. I went with 1800 and that seems to be working for me since January. I haven't touched any of the macro side of things as far as upping or lowering the numbers for…
  • I would like to join. I'm more of a fast walker than a runner but I want to eventually get to a point when I can run a 5k without stopping. My goal for the month of July is to run at least 6 miles per week.
