Exercise is an suppresses my appetite too. I feel way more hungry on my rest days than I do on my exercise days.

I marinate fish in lemon juice, crushed garlic, black pepper, salt, and a dash of soy sauce for 30 min. Then I bake it at 325F until the internal temperature is safe (according to my meat thermometer). Delish :)

yeah, same here in Seattle.

Welcome. You can add me if you want :)

Heart rate monitors are generally more accurate compared to machines or websites. Consider getting one.

Some ideas: chew gum brush your teeth get rid of junk food from the house post a picture of yourself you hate on the refrigerator and cupboards with the caption "do you want to look like this forever?" post a picture of someone whose body you admire on the refrigerator and cupboards keep a bowl of apples and carrots ready…

Most of the times you have to ask for it.

Yes, I had all the questions you do as well. But then I started asking myself if I'd rather be huge with no stretch marks or healthy weight with some stretch marks and loose skin. For me, the answer was easy. Even if I have a few stretch marks here and there and some loose skin, I'd rather be a healthy weight than obese.…

I have the same problem. I have cut down my social interactions significantly, but I plan to reintegrate it back into my life when I have reached my goal weight. At that time, I will be eating maintenance calories, which will make it easier to eat some of the food everyone else is having.

Exercise has a host of benefits in addition to burning calories. E.g - cardiovascular conditioning - improves mood - raises your metabolic rate for hours after exercise is over - strengthens your body and many more. So, even if you eat all the calories back, you are still getting all the other benefits.

Absolutely love it. I find myself striving to be more active because I like to see high numbers at the end of the day. I dont think you will regret getting it.

Looks delicious!

This made me laugh out loud :)

Last year, I tore my calf muscle due to strenous exercise without proper stretching. Go see a doctor to make sure you haven't done the same.

Did you know that athletes actually have really low heart rates? Just having a low heart rate does not indicate that you are not fit. So don't worry about it. For all you know, the other people who see your heart rate may think you are an athlete :) Here's an article if you want more information on heart rate differences…

Love this quote.

Thanks for sharing. I will have to try this.
