Which is more important to you? getting to goal weight or drinking? but don't kid yourself. you won't stay at goal with empty calories sneaking in (says the woman who had a skinny margarita tonight... yeah but i don't drink anymore, truly. why today? idk, but figured wth). the thing is.. it's not just empty calories. it's…

I do HIIT training. And for a long time, I would focus on the intensity. As I ramped up & through each rung of intensity level, then finally topped out, I then focused on duration (as well).

I would slightly go over... I would eat 3 oz of ground turkey (98 calories) and 1 cup of spinach (steamed) (7 calories) with a touch of soy sauce. Then to bed within an hour. :)

TOTALLY agree! And to me, when I don't log, I start kidding myself. That those few almonds don't add up. That a bite here didn't add in too much. That skipping that workout was only once this week. The #1 tool in successful long term weight loss? Logging. Social support is #2. MFP gives you both. Why stay away from this…

I have listened to a couple of people who have years of knowledge and experience in seeing others and discuss health behaviors. One of the two persons that I value their input says you will regain when either one or both of the following apply: 1. you stop making yourself a priority (i.e. planning meals, exercising,…

Every moment is the chance to turn it around. Drink more water... exercise more... and remember its the long haul. There's never a finish line. Hang in there!

Bump

Well said!

ROFL because I see chit like this that cracks me up and I get to know some crazy peops. Oh fugg that, it's totally because I'm an a**hole lol I keep involved as I get burnt out on working out and eating right and logging... so the peops keep me coming back.

Ok LOVE this thread. I am 5'7" HW: 254 (2/9/12) CW: 157-162 (depends on time of the day, I swear I always go back down to 159 minimal); last metabolic test shows me at 32% body fat GW: 150 (but secret head goal is 135-140) I think I am big boned... I have size 11 feet :( (dang trannies take all of my shoes. I ain't talking…

Well I'm one of those people! I had gastric sleeve surgery in March.... I CANNOT eat much more than 1100-1200 calories a day (yet) and in the losing phase, I'm only doing 700-900 calories a day. I would never advocate being unhealthy to your body, but considering at my largest I was doing 5 miles a day and would gain…

That's someone that is a control freak and jealous of you. She is trying to put doubts in your head. Please pay no mind to morons.

97 lbs down and when naked, I do finally have a small thigh gap. And now you tell me it's all in how my bones are... sigh. lol ... Who cares? I'm in better health than before and that's the true "win" above all.

I wonder if you can even do this in the crock pot. Sounds good! And full of protein, my fav!

I personally prefer the mornings but it's hard. It takes increased discipline to do it before work, going to bed earlier the night before, which for us night owls is a pain. I'm trying to do classes at night and my own routine in the mornings. I believe that my body reacts better to morning workouts. Not sure if it's…

Well I can tell you that bariatric surgery is NOT the cure all. I've had gastric sleeve surgery and after a month of hospitalizations (due to complications that occur in 1% of the sleeved population), I DID lose 50 lbs. But I'm stuck mostly since. And I wouldn't wish that diet for the month of my unfortunate…
