This may sound weird, but you almost need to try less...so instead of "trying" it is more of a normal thing. Put plugging in calories into your daily activities. Wear a pedometer at work (I assume you are doing a lot of walking around) and try to make a game out of how many steps you can take. Can you take more steps than…

This makes me giggle :)

Skinny girl brand is wonderful :) p.s. if you guys have a grill, don't forget some pineapple and peaches! they are soo good grilled

I'm actually making taco salad with my mom tonight with our ground turkey :) Before that I was wavering between making meatballs or hamburger patties (I would add some yummy veggies and spices into both of these)

I'm in. As a pastor, and of two churches, you are in the public eye and a good role model for your people (constituens? I don't know the proper term?) and influence and modeling is actually a research area that I am in :)

I honestly reported it earlier, and then just did so again...I had a feeling this was going to spiral way out of control...sorry

Report it...say that you started it and then they will close it. PS. I'm about to send you a message

After going to the dr and trying a low carb/ low gluten thing for a few weeks, I felt better...but I couldn't keep that up so we tried some other stuff...here are my triggers (or at least what I don't eat bc I feel are triggers) Overdoing: Breads and Pastas Highly Processed I have to take stool softeners, probiotics, and…

I think it is attractive. Probably because that it something I am trying to achieve. Whatever I want to be sexy is :)

measuring tape, mini hurdles, and a track bag can you tell I'm a track coach :)

Same here with weighing as much as the bf...I'm 5'4 and athletic build...right now I'm 146...but was near 155. He's between 165 and 175 (but weighed less when we were dating)... Its super embarassing :/ ...but luckily, we are on here and changing that :)

I agree...sweetie, you need to eat at least 600 more, especially if you are going to try to exercise. I did see that you ate more the day before, however so that is good. Please be careful :) I eat between 1500 and 2100 given the day and the amount of exercise

I absolutely love celery and salsa or cucumbers and hummus Try having extra veggies on hand so you can use those to dip instead of chips Also, there are some really good eggplant dips (baba ganoush is one) that are yummy and don't seem to be too bad What about spinach dip (you can make this homemade), shrimp cocktail, even…

Being able to go for a run in just a sports bra is a reward and a goal in and of itself Mainly, my rewards are some sort of indulgence, but I do those anyway :) Mani/pedis, massages :)

But I agree with you. Yes an aerobic base is necessary. But once you have that base, you need to run faster to get faster. It's the same thing with strength training. Once you are out of the hypertrophy phase and into strength phase, your not going to get stronger if you don't change reps/ sets and increase the weight a…

I have used this picture multiple times in presentations I've given at school. I am a sport and exercise psychology PhD student and adjunct professor and have a huge interest in physical activity levels in kids. I think our culture is so into instant gratification that not many people are willing to put in the time and…

I am a track coach and read some of the replies...someone mentioned fartlicks...to me that is the best way of increasing speed If you are going to do them, it's probably best to not be on a treadmill. The easiest explanation would be to give examples of something on the track. You could walk the turns, run the…

I'm in MA/CT during the year but LI over summers :)

My best friend and I went on the same day...she enjoyed herself...but I think because I am in the sport/exercise business (sport and exercise psychology) I critiqued almost everything they said...and both the instructors snap their fingers...that's just a pet peeve of mine lol

Meh...I honestly wasn't a fan of her writing either...but it was more of what was being written ;)

Alcide can growl at me any day of the week :) But for Christian Grey, I'm an Ian Somerhalder fan now unfortunately...who do we think could even fit the part of Anna (besides every female that is posting this thread :) )

How much under have you been? Have you been missing hidden calories or not burning as much as you think you are? It can be water weight. How often do you weigh yourself?

Honestly, I think part of it is I don't like how the instructors talk to us (if I'm going to be doing 90 minutes of yoga in a hot room, I want someone to be soothing). I understand being a bit more than instructive, I get that I'm a coach and went through years of gymnastics/track/etc. and know that coaches sometimes get…

So 1300 is NOT that bad...but what I would advise you do...and what I did yesterday...was figure out what your BMR (basal metabolic rate) is for your body. This is what you need if your body was at rest all day. Now there are also calculations that will tell you what your BMR is for the amount of activity you do. So I am…

Some things I add are: cottage cheese and hamburger (great for low carb diets) cottage cheese and tuna (same thing, also super quick) cottage cheese and jam cottage cheese and fruit (especially cantaloup) I really haven't strayed too far from those but they are quick, easy, and tasty

I have a terrible time at that time...however, I find I get my best endurance or strength days done there...probably because I am pushing through the pain...I try to not cheat then, because then it adds to all the bloating and tummy issues I have...but we are all different so...but that's just me :)

This is fine...it happens especially when you are a beginner or returner...sometimes it happens to me when I'm wearing shorts or loose fit shirts, so I go tighter on the tops and run in spandex and it's not as bad...but yeah, Jarrettd is correct...the itchiness is from the increased circulation...no biggie...should go away…

That looks awesome!

I think it is awesome that you are going to try to use this to help you gain weight back and be healthy...isn't that the whole point of apps like this...to get healthy or stay healthy? I think it's awesome that you are A. on here with that internal motivation and B. reaching out to this community :) good luck with your…

Some people halve the total amount of drinks like tea or drink mix to be amt of water they consumed
