I have decided to improve my life, I have made this a life style. I eat healthy. As clean as I can. I don't want to put crap in my body any more. I don't do cheat days. A cheat day for me is a turkey burger. Not worth it to me.

I live in Wisconsin and walk all winter long. Snow, cold, doesn't matter. Just dress warm.

Because you have a family you SHOULD be exercising. Setting a good example for your family. Just saying. Don't go below 1200 calories.

My Fitness Pal - the website.....

I love it!!! 1. COMMIT "Make an appointment with yourself to exercise. When you wing it, you won't do it. If you plan it, you will. Get a calendar and X out every day you work out. Try to collect at least 22 X's in a month. I tell people you need to exercise more than two or three times a week. If you want to see change…

I was going to post the same thing. Make sure you are doing it for YOU not your Mom. Steph

Nope. Not yet. I had weight control oatmeal with some pecans and raisins and a coffee. I'm full. Sorry! Drink a bunch of water & chew on some gum.....?

5'10" here. I usually don't have issues with finding pants that are long enough, most stores carry long pants. It's the shirts! None of the sleves are long enough! And after one wash I usually have 3/4 sleves! I hate that!

If you're looking to see results in a week those are some pretty lofty expectations. You just started. I would worry more on if you doing exercises right, if your diet is on track, not when you are going to see your body start to change. Work on exercising for a month and sticking to it. Work on eating right for a month…

Rodney Yee has an AM Yoga DVD that has 5 different routines. I think it's called AM Yoga. Search amazon.com It was my intro to yoga. He is awesome. It's a great way to start your day. Good luck with the toes! Steph

20 pistachios - 78 calories

Thanks

When I got close to my goal I ditched the numbers. I still weigh once a week but just to make sure that I don't lose any more weight. (even tho my BMI says I can go 10lbs lighter I don't think that I would look healthy) I now focus on fitness and eating healthy. I focus on getting tone, lifting weights, getting my cardio…

I might join when I can run! Or walk for that matter!

You're not looking at the right food journals then. I eat a crap load for veggies and fruit. I try to eat as much of the real food as possible. I have my quick nights, like tonight where I eat my turkey burgers, but I usually have some a veggie with it. I try to eats the least amount of processed foods as I can. (baby…

Yep - I flex like a mad woman every morning in front of the mirror while getting ready for work. And I love it! Call it narsissistic - I think of it as enjoying all of my hard work. Oh - and I still have body issues - even if I'm thin. LOL I'm a total freak! Love it!

I like them all Best one's BFBM No More Trouble Zones 30DS Those are my fav. And I used a HRM to get my calories burned.

My afternoon snack is usually 1 oz of nuts and some dried fruit. Raisins or prunes.

I don't know how my opinion was judging. If you like it - eat away. It was an opinion. That's all. Relax.

Fan of Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred Yoga Melt Down No More Trouble Zones Each about $10 at Walmart or Target, all you need is a mat and 3lb hand weights. P90X good if you want to spend that kind of cash. Taebo - Billy Blank (*****es! old school - but I like it, get's you sweating!) I did most of my weight loss at home and…

Sounds good but I would use regular salsa. Thanks for sharing.

Yikes - they are on to something! Don't eat that crap!

I almost spit when I read the title of your post! (Pun intended!)

If you are looking to lose weight you should really add some cardio to your routine. Lifting isn't going to give you the calorie burn that cardio is going to. Good luck in your journey. Steph

Wow - that is a crazy amount of calories. You sure you have all of your settings entered correctly?

A little dramatic, don't you think. I agree that if you aren't eating your exercise calories you might not be getting enough. 1.3 loss is pretty good for a week. I say play with your calories a little. Add some protein, some healthy fats to up your calories a little. Or talk to your trainer - assuming that with being a…

Rock on girl! Good for you! It's a great feeling! Keep up the awesome work! I know how expensive it can be. Hand me downs rock, so does Good Will. I didn't treat myself to good pair of jeans when I got to goal. I still have more of my wardrobe to replace. One of the evils to weight loss - SHOPPING! LOL Congrats!

You're going to drive yourself crazy if you weight your self every day - or twice a day. I personally weight every Monday morning before I get in the shower. And that's the only time I weight myself. Keeps me sane and also keeps me on track for the weekends knowing that Monday is my weigh in.

Sorry hon. Everyone is different. We all gain and lose weight differently. And you cant spot lose or spot keep weight either.

Check your settings first. They have fats set at 30% which in my opinion is pretty high and they have the protein set pretty low. Play with that first before you add fat to your diet. If you still don't think that you are getting enough: olive oil avocado nuts dairy Good luck! Steph :flowerforyou:
