You are definitely not alone. I just did this last night. Tried to do fartleks for the first time and it was horrible!! Even my sprint is slow. My legs were like lead, I felt like I was crawling, my lungs wouldn't cooperate, and my foot cramped up so bad I could see my toes curling up even with my shoes on. Blah. The other…

Great job!! That's awesome!

I can't see the picture, but it sounds good. :) Gonna try it tomorrow.

Being hungry is not necessarily a bad thing, but I don't think that it would help with weight loss. I also don't think it would put you in "starvation mode." How far before meal time is it? If you're hungry right before meal time, it just probably time to eat. If you are still hungry between meals, eat a snack. Something…

Get plain yogurt and put your fruit in it to sweeten it, and just a little bit of honey if you need a little extra.

Ask a public forum of non-medical professionals...Should I go to the emergency room/see a Dr about (fill in blank)? Then after most everyone tells you to go see a Dr, decide to try castor oil, fasting, soak in cow manure, etc. first.

When there is miles and miles of empty highway both in front of me, in back of me, and in the passing lane next to me, yet somebody seems to feel the need to be in the exact same space I am in at the moment I am in it.

So...at 130-140 you are super lucky to wear 4/6. You must have a lot more muscle then I do. I am 5'6", just under 140 now and medium build, but I am still in size 12. Not complaining as it is a big difference from the 16/18 I was in, but I don't think I will ever be a 4/6. I am jealous...

I jogged 2.25 miles at 5.5-6 without having to walk!! I love to run, I just feel so awkward and slow.

Maybe...buy yourself a new outfit one size smaller and work toward fitting into it. Hang it up in a place you can easily see it every day. Set goals and rewards for exercise and eating regardless of the scale. Say, just for example, one month of consistent work outs and meeting calorie goals = spa day, high lights,…

Coming from a conservative background, I understand her intent. I am not saying whether what she believes is right or wrong. She has a right to believe whatever she wants. However, as some have stated, her efforts would have been better spent in teaching her son the convictions of their family. Teaching her son to respect…

Yes, comes down to the calories. Whether its chocolate or oranges, too much is too much. That said, you are not going to gain weight just because you eat fruit every day if it fits into your daily calorie intake. Make sure you are getting enough of everything else too, like vegetables and protein.

bumping to look at this later

I go to Planet Fitness. They are pretty inexpensive. $10/month plus a yearly fee that doesn't come out until October or something like that. I don't remember how much it is. No contract. At least at the one I go to, there are all walks of life there, young, old, tall short, obese, overweight, fit, underweight,…

Where'd you get this?! I love it :)

I don't usually log weekends, but neither do I go pig crazy and binge on thousands of extra calories. However, on the weekends I relax and don't stress about if I want to have another slice of pizza. For me, constantly logging without a break makes me start obsessing about it, then I eventually quit because it gets too…

You are amazing! I want to look like you. :)

Get a treadmill or something, and work out while you watch TV. You could try sipping water, hot tea, hot chocolate, sparkling water, or something while you watch; or eat carrots sticks, celery, broccoli; or chew gum.

I have done chickpeas before. I cooked them too long the first time. They ended up kinda dry. The second time, they were great! I used a little olive oil, garlic, onion powder, black pepper and cayenne pepper.

Sounds good!! Yum!!

I am a paramedic and manager of my ambulance service. I'm also a mom to my 1 and 3 y/o.

There is nothing wrong with juice in and of itself. However, if someone only drinks juice because they don't like water, that is a lot of sugar and calories. I am more so talking about straight juice, absolutely nothing wrong with a splash of juice in water to make it palatable. You could try keeping a pitcher in the…

In addition to lowering sodium, Drink more water. Don't count soda, juice, coffee, or anything else as water. If your body has enough water, it won't try to hold on to it. There is some formula for figuring out how many ounces you should drink. I don't know what it is exactly. If you see a lot of weight gain from water, or…

Feel free to add me if you would like!

I am also 5'6". I know that if I ever weighed close to 116, several of my friends would hog tie me and drag me to the nearest hospital, or start shoving donuts down my throat. That guy has no idea what he was saying. As everyone else on here has said, he's a moron. I understand your reaction. Can't say that I would have…

My advice is to just keep going! Keep exercising, keep logging. I think my diary is public if you want to look at it. I was on for a while last year and stopped for a bit in December and the first part of January. I have been back on for the last week though. I started with a higher calorie intake, but changed it a couple…

I make sure to get on the floor and play with my kids every day or chase them around the house. It's fun and gets us all moving.

Google "Dove Real Beauty Sketch" or "Dove commercial with sketch artist." It is interesting.
