I am. Is it advisable to eat you workout calories?

Mind your sugar. I find that for me, sugar, white flour, white rice, etc., cause major bloat.

I never leave home without my HRM. Mine has the strap and figures out my cals based on my actual heart rate. Hopefully, someone can tell you about the fitbit.

Way to go! Congrats.

You look great.

Variety!!! You'll find something you love.

My husband had one of those "if she can do it, I can do better" moments. I completed the c25k program and run in a couple races. That was enough to get him running.

They don't sound like true friends to me. There are several opportunities to make new friends like the gym, school, etc. Just be patient. You have us.

Sadly, 13 min per mils

Where's Nate?

Loved my margaritas till I realized that they packed a good 400+ calorie punch. Just the thought keeps me saying NO.

I agree with the post about the couch to 5K program. I couldn't run for 30 secs to a couple of years ago. Now I can go an hour plus (still very slow), have done a few 5k races and a 10K race. You can do it.

Every once in a while, let the pizza attack. It happens to me too.

Your body needs more than 800 calories to function. Being so low encourages your body to go into starvation mode and hold on to the little nutrition it gets. You'll need to eat at or close to your caloric recommendation to see any substantial loss.

You lose weight faster when you incorporate weight training into your plan. I'm not into "heavy" lifting but I do go up to 25lbs with the dumbbells depending on the exercise. I also do several exercises using my body weight.

I'm convinced.

I have oats with blueberries and walnuts before my workout and a snack after.

Snacks are key to reving up your metabolism. I have an early breakfast at about 6:45am before I send my kids off on the school bus. By 9am, I'm ready for my first snack and my second by 11am. Lunch is usually between 12:30 and 1pm. Having set times for snacks and meals will help you get closer to your calorie goal.

You're better off without him. His loss, your gain (life).

That's when you need to see your doctor.

You look wonderful. Way to go!

Squeeze lemon, add balsamic vinegar or a little bit of olive oil, salt and pepper. You can tweak this any way you want. Sometimes I add crushed cilantro or basil. Once you make yours, you can't go back to store bought.

Great job!!! Way to go.:blushing:

Brown rice and steamed veggies.

Nothing to lose but weight. Did the program a couple of years ago and still run. My last race was the Thanksgiving 8K turkey trot. My only problem is that, I'm still a slow runner but I can go the distance.

Hello, I'm new here too. I joined a couple weeks ago and started tracking about 3 days ago. Glad to be here. The site is so easy to navigate. I love it!:smile:
