I have to say it's easy to do cardio at home, no brainer. But to work out every muscle group the same way you do at curves at home is boooooooring. I hate every single toning video i have ever done & have never done 1 more than twice.... but thats just me. I think being able to go to curves you can work out every muscle…

An e-mail went out today at work letting everybody with a work provided blackberry that service is down!! Research In Motion is down (RIM) This is the e-mail we got at work: Blackberry service provider Research in Motion (RIM) is experiencing a service interruption that is affecting all Blackberry users on all wireless…

Where is your ACTUAL food???!! The only thing that looks like a real meal there is the eggs! Don't you eat meat? I eat almost the same amount of calories in a day but like 10 times more food than you do! Make a sandwich for lunch & for dinner try & eat a real meal! You could George Forman grill up some steak or fish or…

Of course you're on my friends list but I have never seen your ticker before.... I LOVE IT!!!! :) Even if your calf never wants to cooperate we're proud of you for moving nomatter how you do it! :)

yeah how fast & how much of an incline on the treadmill will make a difference... but I think I know what you're asking! You burn more calories on the elliptical before "feeling it" then you will on the treadmill. the treadmill wears me out really fast.. elliptical I can go really hard for like 30 minutes at least :)

Get that crazy mentality out of your head!!!!! You don't eat cause you're depressed! You eat cause you love to eat & when you stop caring about what you put in your mouth you put EVERYTHING in your mouth! I'm like that too :) Look at a fat-*kitten* dog or cat... are they fat because they eat cause they're depressed ? Did…

The great thing about 1 lb per week is you will not feel deprived!! You will find it manageable, you will see results, it's a maintainable way to live for a long time. MfP will continue to drop your daily calorie allowance every time you lose more than 10 lbs & if you aim for 1 you usually end up losing a bit more anyway…

Personally I find a 1000 calorie deficit feels like such a huge mountain to climb & it sorta sets you up for failure. I would set myself for the 1lbs a week loss & then eat somewhere between the suggested calories & the number -500 ... so if you set yourself up as 1 lb loss per week & MFP tells you to eat oh lets say 1600…

I wouldn't call it a cheat anything! Call it a treat :) we all need them! A whole day is never a good idea.. Is there ever a place or time cheating down a box of Oreos or whole bag o' chips is ok?? Of course not! But to go out & enjoy a dinner without worrying too much is good! If a 4 ounce steak will fill yah then get…

I really hope not but maybe you're getting sick? It's that time of year! Sometimes if there's a bug going around & you catch it but don't show full symptoms (ex: cough, sneezing ect) but you're body is still in the process of fighting it so it doesn't go into a full blown flu or cold. I would listen to your body & take it…

Nomatter what's going on in your life or what you eat just log log log.! Even if you have a crazy day & eat 3 double burgers & your bf's fries (I've done this) make sure you're super honest & log every bite. This will keep you on track & so will your friends here.. Both current & future friends! Please add me if you'd like…

About 11 mini bretons & 1 normal laughing cow cheese wedge for just under 100 or double it for close to 200 cals.. You get fat & a lil protien from cheese + whole grain carbs from the crackers :) kids like it too!

The HRM I bought yesterday is the S7 by Sportline, also from walmart! Got this one cause it's the HRM with calorie burn monitor which is what I really wanted! Like yours it doesn't have the strap so no continuous reading.. You gotta touch for it to read. The calorie counter works based on your current hr .. So you have to…

Not all bodies are the same! I am very apple-shaped & when I was 260 I had a huge belly & boobs but the legs of 120 lb lady. If you hid the rest of my body behind a screen & just saw my legs you woulda thought I was a porn star seriously!! Not that I looked good... yeah my legs looked great but I was shaped like a…

WOW! Everybody is sooo uptight about McDonalds!! It's about choices & balance & moderation. I am not on this McDonalds bashing road.... I like them more than most fast food places & unlike most peopel here I'll just admit that I LOVE fast food. To me it neither smells nor tastes bad, only delicious! Enjoy your McDonalds…

that's diet coke i'm drinking there BTW! No calories :)

SUPER YAY!!!!! :drinker:

How long have you been going for? If you've been sick then of course you wouldn't lose much.. it's ok you were sick! The platforms are to give your muscles a bit of a break while keeping your heart rate up... it's not a big part of the calorie burn. The actual machines are where you want to use all you've got because this…

That could be true... But you know what's really stressful? - being a big fat *kitten*, - feeling like a big fat *kitten*, - trying to find clothes while a fat *kitten*, - crying yourself to sleep cause you're a fat *kitten*, - listening to other comment on how fat your fat *kitten* is, - heart failure... that's stressful…
-
Oh & just to add... since your calories are so low you should def be taking a really great multi-vitamin :)
-
Good for you for being here & doing something about it! I'm proud of you :) I've never been in your boat but I would say try & make those calories the most nutritious food possible. Stick with good healthy stuff like fruits & veg, whole grains & lean protiens. 500-1200 is a big jump so if you feel yourself stuffed don't…

14 pounds down... it's working for you :) I just made a whiney status whining about how a lot of people don't count walking the dog as exercise.. same idea.. When you walk the dog are you not also walking yourself??

heheehehehehe :blushing:

Ok yeah it's a surprise but def not a horrifying lie! Who cares if they add wood to all food..... especially trying to lose weight! Cellulose has like no calories & lots & lots of fibre so it's win win. And if we didn't even know this till today it obviously is being used well in that we don't taste or notice it & it…
-
It was once explained to me this way: Your body is like a fancy swimming pool, you cannot empty the deep end before the shallow end, it is physically impossible! If you are apple shaped (I am too!) then you are stuck that way till you lose enough fat. If you were skinny & gaining weight the tummy would be the first thing…

Hey Egger! Hearing about how great omega 3's are I once (few years ago) went out & bought a bottle of omega 3-6-9's all equal amounts of each in pill form. I figured "ooooh this is cheaper than o3 alone & all omegas must be good".... once I got home I decided to read up on the difference. I don't remember now too well but…

hmmmmm.... I have one of those in the basement! I'm gonna have to pull it out & try it at work :) My boss is a fitness freak so she's all for it! Thanks for the idea again!
-
Are you wearing the same old clothes from 30 lbs ago? part of a reason people notice weight loss is not just the actual slimness... it's the new smaller clothes & your attitude in them! I know it sounds corny but what you feel inside really does show on the outside. Do you feel sexier? Prettier? Dress accordingly because…

SORRy!!! I meant siggy :)

Another raging debate that really just ends up being a stalemate. Here's what I see how it usually works: People who are high in the BMI range seem to gain more off of not eating them. I'm talking about 40+ pounds over. The body feeds off the the fat to restore the energy levels. People who are in the lower ends of the BMI…
