Just get a heart rate monitor if you want really accurate calories. There aren't going to be any trainers that will be able to tell you which one is correct. Especially without knowing your height/weight/gender/effort/etc...

Hey, Jim. From one Marine to another, thank you for your service. I've had some off/on knee pain in the same spot that you've mentioned. They told me it was tendonitis and to take some Motrin and stay off of it…. Yeah, right…. What has really helped me was changing my running style. I used to be a huge heel striker and I…

What about changing your attitude? It seems like you've doomed all exercise from the beginning. You need to restart and open up your mind. Once you start seeing results you'll be whistling a different tune.

This post seems like a lot of excuses to me. If you really want to get in better shape and live a healthier life it's going to take work. Sometimes that means doing things you don't like. Okay, so you "can't" run because you're pigeon toed. What about some cardio machines such as the elliptical, stair master or bike? What…

If you can't trust the website then what are you going to "trust"?

Why would you round down? If you're weighing to be accurate then be accurate!

7… sorry, your face could be jacked ;) But your tricep is JACKED! :flowerforyou: Edit: (Also, I'd like to put out there that I stalked his profile and it turns him into a 9.9)

Yep, I hear ya. Crockpot. Seriously amazing. I think someone above mentioned frozen meals. I do this twice per month. I make a big shopping trip and get all of the ingredients I need to make 14 batches of food. I freeze them in gallon bags and in the morning before work I put them in a crockpot. By the time I get home my…

I put it in my yogurt.

Hmmm, I know for sure there aren't any animal products in it. :bigsmile:

I couldn't gag it down. Uhg…..

I just got my first food scale. It's AWESOME.

Do leg day!

I would be starving.

Two events? I wouldn't worry too much about it. I normally just get a little of everything I like. I'm seriously addicted to veggie spring rolls.

Weight training for your legs will improve your running greatly! Not to mention it will strengthen all those muscles around the knees that tend to fatigue and lead to injury if not properly worked. Work it in, seriously. Your body will be so happy. On days you train legs do the weights first then run after and for a…

Damn, title mislead me. I was going to say "like a boss".

My favorites are macadamia cookie and caramel vanilla drizzle from folgers. They are so tasty I can drink them black!

I wouldn't say it'd be enough to notice. Keep up the good work and don't worry about it.

Stuffed crust is 350 :):) yummmmmoooo

I saw one on Groupon. Normally $999 down to $300. I just glanced at it but you could check that out.

I don't eat breakfast. I like to keep the bulk of my cals for when I get home from work. Breakfasts and snacks make me hungry. So, I just avoid them.

Because of creeps like me… totally checking out the other fit lady bods. :ohwell:

I feel this same way about popcorn. The packaging tells me how many calories a tablespoon of unpopped kernels is. Yeah, let me just open this convent bag and measure the kernels before I pop them :huh: I'm no help - but you're not alone!

Soooo…. Stuff your face then weigh yourself the next morning? …because that's a really accurate number, right? I didn't weigh and I don't really care. Food baby is slowly disappearing.

I'm interested in this too. I normally do back/bi, chest/tri, legs/shoulders, legs/abs. In December I'm going to try a 3 day full body routine I found on BBdotcom. I'm interested to see how it goes. I've never done full body. I always feel like not one area of my body is tired enough after I'm done.

I'm up to 1,956 so far. That includes my half bottle of champagne for mimosas hehehe… Need to add in the left overs, wine and another piece of pie that I will have in the coming hours.

Interesting. Thanks for sharing your experience. Did you follow a specific plan as far as workouts? I currently follow phase II of Jamie Easons LiveFit Trainer. I know I really need to take a look at my diet… I eat horribly (and I like it -haha!) How many sessions did you do with your posing coach and what was the average…

Gonna go home to Texas and not leave the table until my family has to roll me to the couch. I'm stoked.
