awesome NSV, wonderwoman! I've done better at my first 3 days back to Insanity, and can feel my core is stronger than it was when I started it in June...

I agree with luckyinlove about the recipes function and recent foods, also saving MEALS - took me a while to find that function. Finally, I use a scales that has a grams option and tend to now log in produce, for instance, by gram weight as there's always the 100g option at the bottom.

fantastic!

Another perspective: I look at it as saying the same things to a kid I'd say to a stranger adult who was unacceptably intruding. But kid-appropriate. And in the case of obnoxious-in-the-waiting-room, I'd probably not say anything but if the kid were getting rowdy enough close to me or other people, I'd probably say, "Hey,…

Agreed with the 245-pound fit woman. People should be supported and focus on habits. It's also possible for people to be in the "obese" category and be healthy - I am hovering at 180 pounds, 5' 8", 38 years old, and am not at risk for any obesity-related disease, but this country would have me think I'm hugely fat and in…
-
Yes! Usually not a problem for me but when I'm not planning, restaurant foods can get in the way - this week's definitely produce-heavy! Addendum for anyone interested, too... And with regard to the nutrition, I think people sometimes think organic is more nutritious for a deceptive reason - almost anything picked at peak…

ALSO, very good point about MFP estimating burns pretty high. Though for men, they're probably more accurate. Still and all, you may be hitting 700 or 800 when you think you're at 1000, if you're logging through this database.

I agree with the people saying not to force it, and also with the idea to add healthy fats as a low-volume, high-energy way to add calories to your day (and should also further stave off hunger). But I will also look at your diary. If you're not hungry, though, it's kind of fine.

Hell yeah. When I reach my goal, the hips will still be wide and the chest still probably a 34-F/G (UK). I have big hips short legs a long back and big rack, and none of those things are going to change that much even if I'm down another 30 pounds. I'm making my butt stronger and higher and my legs a lot harder but I'm not…
-
Awesome!! I thought I wouldn't have time to get in a workout today but decided I will FIGHT to squeeze in a 20-minute kickbox fastfix routine in the middle of everything.
-
Oh heck! If I had seen this before breakfast, I would have tried to give up DAIRY today (having cottage cheese in my oats), as I'm a real dairy freak, but actually it's probably better as we're going to be taken out to dinner adn it would be too much of a challenge probably, on this particular day. So I'm going to follow…
-
I will incorporate that today, yo!
-
Good workout! I might do this tomorrow, I did a lot of interval yesterday and sore today, but I would like to do this challenge.
-
ALRIGHT! I am so glad I clicked on this - I'm going to be doing Jackie Beast Warner's 15-minute abs unit, and I think I'll add in a couple of sets of a glute move and a core move that I LOVE from the Look Better Naked condensed workout - heels on stability ball, legs straight, lying on mat - raise hips off floor, draw…
-
Yeah, I kind of got beyond that body for life idea, don't think it's the wisest. If it were a 20-minute walk, fine, but for HIIT or similar, you need SOMETHING in the tank. I usually have a latte when I get up with 1/2 cup 1% milk (about 50 cals), 8 oz strong coffee and a teaspoon (20 cals or less) of maple syrup, and a…

EN PAPILLOTE IS AWESOME! Great challenge!
-
ONE. CHOICE. AT. A. TIME! - Go you for making this one today, fantastic!
-
Please feel free to add me, too. You have to get comfortable with the ways of life that truly nourish you and keep you strong and healthy, not sick, so that "old ways" are foreign and uncomfortable, and new ways are not "dieting"...

I would absolutely set a slower weight loss goal, eat 1600 - 1800 wholesome calories and aim to burn a good 2100 - 3000 through exercise per week. You'll then be getting close to an overall 7K/week calorie deficit (2 lbs) and should start losing more than the "goal" setting (if set to 1/2 to 1 pound/week). 1300 won't kill…
-
I actually agree with the woman who said to be honest. That it's fine to say, "I don't feel like talking to you, I overheard what you said the other day and was pretty shocked by the spite and jealousy you seem to have towards me. I'm sure things will improve with time but that's why I'm don't want to talk to you." Or just…
-
Yeah, I like the suggestion to mix up the running and walking - I was going to suggest something similar, doing OTHER things/an in-between - squat and throw fast punches, do a few jumping jacks, go up and down stairs - you should be able to sense your appropriate exertion range more based on how you feel (...uh, somewhere…
-
EXCELLENT - doing for YOU and dedicating to it daily - you are so worth it, and you always have been.
-
adorable!
-
This is TREMENDOUS! What a wonderful chronicle and story, and I'm so glad it's from someone who's in it for health and has concentrated on nourishing yourself right from the start, rather than focusing on calories and being uneducated about nutrition. You're a wonderful example and inspiration!
-
You're looking great and really healthy. Keep it up!
-
Yes - GREAT work, and if my body comp monitor is to be believed, water/other weight on my 5'8" woman's frame can fluctuate by as much as 3 + pounds, so I think at this close to 80 pounds, you can think that you probably have achieved that, for all practical purposes :).
-
thanks for the post! It can totally be done, but we're so screwed up by restaurants/junk - if we didn't grow up mostly being served sensible portions in sensible increments of wholesome foods, we're bound to not have any intuitive understanding of it. And even if we did (I generally feel I did), it's not a natural function…

Well, TheRoadDog, the problem is less did Zimmerman actually act in self defense in the end (that is, after having begun pursuing a COMPLETELY INNOCENT minor while muttering fed-up-with-hoodlums, possibly racist stuff into his phone), and more IT'S NOT FOR THE PUBLIC TO JURY, or even the police, in 5 minutes, based upon…
-
No, I haven't changed my opinion. I believe there is clear evidence that Zimmerman started to pursue Trayvon. When does self defense change over? When you attack me, I start kicking your *kitten*, and then you're worried for your life and shoot me, that still leaves you as the aggressor. Furthermore, when does wearing a…

*and of course, you absolutely can get appropriate nutrition without animal products. Have to be more careful with a vegan diet to make sure you cover those bases, but good lord, the amount of suspicion over a diet without animal protein is phenomenal. Modern diet phenomena and crazes have really made this into a big deal…
