What an intimate little group we have this round!! Great job to those who lost this week!! Keep it up ladies! And can I just say, it is really kinda cool to see that the biggest loser this week lost 1.3 lbs. That means you are doing it right!! Moderate deficits, ladies!! 1-2 lbs per week is HEALTHY weight loss!! For those…

LOL @ "WEAKend"

I originally posted this in last week's discussion thread (I was up early and wasn't sure where to post) and since I haven't really been posting much (sorry about that, gals...will try to do better this week!), I'm just copying the whole thing here...

Not sure where we are weighing in for the end of this week, so I'm doing it here!! As of this morning, I am 180.4 - down one pound from last week!!! :bigsmile: As for my goals (since I've not had a minute to post here all week), they have changed a bit in the last week. I originally thought that I was gonna get back to…

So, I had a look at my net calories report for the last 90 days and it is no wonder I have put on some weight. The number of days that I was over is astounding. And the number of days that I was under...those are the ones that I didn't log all my food. I am sooooo tired of logging every bloody morsel of food (I've been…

Could not agree more! Even more than the pop tart, though, I would like to have a banana/nutella crepe served up all warm and ooey-gooey. Preferably in Paris. *le sigh*

Definitely honored.

I sooooo needed to read this today. Perhaps today will be the first of many that I don't cave in to the blueberry muffin from the cafeteria here at work. I'm never hungry when I eat it, but the work stress has been mounting over the last few weeks. It's several hundred calories that I do not need and, ultimately, do not…

Ya know, it might not hurt for me to get back on this...increased cals too much back in April and have paid the price dearly. July 1st sound like the perfect time to lower my calories, get back to basics, and kick some major *kitten*! Count me in!

I've not had any coffee yet so have nothing to add, but this thread is AWESOME!!!!

The problem I see with this example, though, is that Joe did not become obese becasue he has COPD and had difficulty exercising. He became obese because he consumed more calories than his body needed, and he did that every single day. If his COPD was not so severe that he did not require disability assistance BEFORE he…

I've been running in Brooks Adrenaline's for 3 years now and I love them! I have a wide foot but wear the double wides to give my toes plenty of room. I was surprised when the owner of the running store recommended the double wides, but it was the right choice for me! As others have stated, if you are just starting out, go…

2.7 miles for me!

This is awesome!! Thanks so much for sharing!

I have not lifted since May 3rd for all kinds of reasons, none of which are good (okay, last week's reason was good - I was in Paris). Getting back to it next week and declaring June "no ice cream month". I am not expecting great things from my first session next week given all the time off, but I'm gonna call just setting…

Regarding the deadlift - "Lower the bar by pushing your hips back first, and then bend your knees once the bar reaches knee level (NOT before otherwise the bar will hit your knees)." Taken from here: http://stronglifts.com/how-to-deadlift-with-proper-technique/ I'm with Jamie - I've been pulling and then lowering following…

Hello ladies!! I started 5x5 near the beginning of April and got an invite to join the group around that time but have not posted much here. Anyway...I started May at: Squats - 85# OHP - 60# (fail - only 4 reps in 2nd set) Deadlift - 125# Will be lifting again tonight and going for: Squats - 90# Bench - 70# Row - 65# I…

Exactly this!!! I've lost over 100lbs using nothing but good ol' diet and exercise. I have not eliminated ANYTHING from my diet...other than excess calories.
-
Actually, many of us are smart enough to know that the daily calorie allotment we are given already includes a deficit to allow us to lose the weight we want each week WITHOUT exercise. If you don't eat back the exercise calories, you are increasing that deficit and that could, depending on how large a defict you are…

I am sooooooooo happy to be able to say that I am down 3 lbs from this most recent weigh-in. Hoping my body is starting to take the hint with regards to my increased calories and heavy lifting.
