Thanks, I will check out Sworkit. It doesn't hurt when marching because the pain happens when the foot bends, so when I take a step for example, but marching in place I am not bending anything, just straight upward and then downward movement. No gym membership. I don't really have time. I only workout in my basement which…

Thanks all. I took your advice and rested and have decided to quit running. It is more pain (literally) than it is worth. I feel that if I am going to be out of commission for so long it is better to get my cardio in some other way. I can't just not excersize for two or more weeks. I have weight to lose. Pleasem feel free…

Hey, great job! I am a little less than where you started and have similar goals. I was wondering how many calories you netted each day to get there?

Hey all, I just got a fitbit, but I can't figure out how to add non facebook friends except by email. How do you search for people?

Hello, I had my first baby April 1 and gained almost 60 pounds :(. So far I have lost 21 pounds, mostly just the weight of the baby and his accessories. Today I started the couch to 5 k program and wasn't even able to get through half of the 1st week's run. I was never to great shape. I used to be thin, but never much of a…

If you aren't hungry, then don't eat.

If your BMR is 2400, I am guessing you are pretty big, so it is okay to eat 1500 calories. You will lose weight pretty fast. Once you get down to a lower weight though, you should eat at least BMR to prevent unbearable hunger and your body to go in starvation mode.

No, that has me at a 36AA, and I have been measured at Victoria Secret to be a 34B, but in actuality because of the shape, only 34D will fit just right.

Thanks everyone. Additional info: the neighbors are retirees, and one time they told us to please walk "quieter"

If you are highly motivated by the scale, then no, don't do strength.. If you want to lose weight faster, but not see a huge difference on the scale, but see the difference in your clothes, then do cardio. Me personally, I get discouraged if I see the numbers go up, so I am sticking to cardio for now until that scale…

Yes, but losing weight using myfitnesspal REQUIRES OCD.

Okay, thanks, that helps!

How much on average are you losing per week doing that, and what is your activity level set up as and do you eat your exercise calories back?

Yeah, I obsess over it way too much also! The problem for me with the TDEE stuff is that I put sedentary because my exercise is just not consistent. I may work out 7 days one week and only 3 days the next. Thanks for the help!

How about your net? I am talking about netting at BMR. My BMR is 1340 and I am netting that amount. Do you net above that?

bump, I am too scared to do it.

Well, Utahraptor lived in the early Cretaceous, about 126 million years ago. At any rate, ya gotta figure one individual could live for only a few decades! :D

33?

The raptors from Jurassic Park? Similar to Utahraptor, estimated at 500-1000 lbs. For the movie, probably around 500 lbs. :)

I agree, especially if your body is using energy to detoxify, thats more calories burned. Alcohol does cause you to retain water and get bloated though. I found that even if I have just one beer or something within my calorie budget, it takes an additional 3 days of not drinking to get back down to the weight I started at.…

Yup!! I acttualy recentlly quit facebook because I was tired of the fakeness, but now instead of actually living a productive life, I just spend all my time here!

Well, I had lost about 20 pounds since I ordered the dress and the alterations were super expensive and the dress didn't look as good on me as when I was fat. But, it is nice to have thinner pictures of me.

Well, I can tell you that my grocery bill is outrageous because we buy healthy food, and only eat organic meats and free range chicken due to animal welfare philosophies. If we didn't have money to do that, we would probably eat mostly beans and rice the canned beans with lots of sodium. Vegetables actually aren't that…

You think you are fat!?!? Just wait 10 years. Come on, show off that body while you still have it!

Same thing is happening to me. I was advised to eat more calories which doesn't make sense to me, but I am giving it a try today and see what happens.

Wow, thanks everyone!

Working out and then not overeating.

I don't know. Me too. I don't get it, people are telling me to eat more. It doesn't mae sense. I am equally frusterated as the same thing is happening to me.

5'3 and 142, trying to get down to 143. I would love some more friends. Its hard to relate to people who are way bigger than me who don't understand that you actually need to go below 1700 calories to lose weight at our weight!
