Yeah! This^^^

That's one awesome NSV! Way to go! You inspire me to do better the next time I have a day like that because yesterday...I went off the rails with my eating.

I eat most if not all of my exercise calories earned. I have around 20 more pounds to lose and I can't seem to get the balance of eating correct now that I am close to my goal and feel like I should be able to eat what I want...I digress

Congrats, you're an insipiration.

I have "only lost" 110 pounds total but I accept and love myself I am the smallest I have ever been, even smaller than I was in middle school. I know I can do this the rest of my life. I wear a size 10 pants and S/M tops down from 24W pants and 2x tops I no longer have to shop in the plus sized section/stores I have a zest…

Just got into the non-plus sized clothing this year for the first time in my life! It's definitely different and sometimes confusing. I know mentally that I cannot shop in the plus sized store (Lane Bryant) but if I go into a department store (Dillards, Macy's) I always end up in the plus sized clothing section because…

None so far! I am 32 years old. My plan is to start no later than 35 for two - three kids...anything older than that and I will probably only have 1 or none.

I totally just did my own calorie calculations...try scoobysworkshop.com calorie calculator. I calculated my calories for my current weight, the midway point which will be about 10 pounds, and another 10 pounds which is my goal weight. This calculator is simple and it gives you the calorie deficit in different percentages…

I'm not even on speaking terms with that B****! Wearing the same pant size nothing looks different physically. I know I haven't been doing my exercise as consistenly as I should; but why am I up 10 POUNDS, WTH! Lucky I didn't throw the darn thing down the stairs before kicking it over to the dumpster, and doing a slam dunk…

Definitely listen to your body. If your knee says no, then don't do any high impact on it for a day or so.

That is EXACTLY what I do! Freeze them and measure some out each day and enjoy them one at a time. Makes them seem like a lot and lasts longer.

1/4 cup chocolate chips ( for baking) I love the mint chocolate kind, and I get my dark chocolate fix. If I don't have those I eat the semi-sweet kind.

I haven't done a C25K. I just run and try to meet a time goal (12 min mile) on the treadmill or elliptical (rest the knees day). When I run outdoors I just like to run and meet a distance goal like from my street main intersection to the next light without stopping, etc until I get further and further. I see what you mean…

congratulations, you are doing superb!

^^^ This! Everytime!

BMR is the base metabolic rate for your body at rest (comatose) TDEE is the metabolic rate for your body when you factor in daily activities and (if you include exercise in that number no need for the confusion of eating back exercise calories) that keeps it simple for me because I'm simple minded for sure. I used fat 2…

Try scooby's workshop website. Gives the BMR, TDEE and TDEE with cut % or fat2fitradio.

I agree with the previous poster that you don't have to eat all the calories in one day. I have found that on a hard workout at the end of the day it's hard to eat all those calories back that evening. The next day I am ravenous, like my stomach is a bottomless pit. I have to watch going over the next day but I will try to…

Sounds delish and refreshing. Love watermelon.

Most recent as of Saturday afternoon: Madeline cookies We were at the grocery store and I suggested dessert, he sent me to the bakery section to find a dessert while he found some steaks. I got his supposed 'favorite' cookie. Once we get home (he's joking apparently) but he starts complaining about me getting those cookies…

Exercise: gym time, or working out in addition to just daily running around, I consider this extra calorie burn and I may dip into this number if I am hungry or there is something I want to eat like a dinner out or dessert. Folks that log cleaning house as exercise make me lol, and I don't eat those back that is just part…

Maybe include some higher calorie but whole foods, like nuts or avocados that will increase your calorie intake but not to the extreme, and they are good for you.

Avocados, nuts, PB, extra virgin olive oil. Good fats, calorie dense foods.

I don't know a lot just from this post but beating yourself up for 'messing up' isn't helping. 5'5 and 120 pounds seems very low in my very humble opinion, but your weight is your business. If you have your calories set at the rock bottom number of 1200 and exercise for 50 minutes eat back those exercise calories please.…

Breakfast on July 22nd-repeat as much as possible. If you look at that meal your carbs were at a low (2) I believe, and protein was high (19). I find that breakfast sets my day up for good eating. Veggies and fruit are good carbs that you can have with no worries.

I haven't been in the habit of working out on Saturday or Sunday lately. I like to try and sleep in on those days and with the heat of summer it's not even an option to workout outside after 10 am. So the answer to your question is No.

Killed my traps on Monday when I did the Javorek complex @ 50lbs. I like to workouts where I don't have to put the weights down and do all the lifts in sequence and then rest. Javorek Complex Upright rows x 6 Snatch x 6 Squat Press x 6 Good Mornings x 6 Bent over rows x 6 Rest Repeat

If it is really grilled and not fried ( how is it prepared?) with oils or butter Creamy salad dressing is a definite high calorie addition, and cheese. Most restaurant plates are more than an individual needs in a portion size. Share if you can or just modify an entree/side salad.

^^^ and my body will stop when it's done!.
