None at all. Unlike most ppl I was excited to turn 30! I mean I was truly elated. Why? IDK lol Now Im looking forward to turning 50!

I am not the outdoorsy type so my workout consists of various classes in the gym. I get in the gym and get in a zone!

Ooooooh I had yard house for the first time last month and it was truly worth the cheat day. Mmmm just thinking about it makes me salivate. My favorite...hmmm chipotle lol

Hello all. April here and I live in the missouri city area. I joined m.f.p because I realized I had gotten f.a.t. My bio tells the rest. Feel free to add me and thanks to yesthistime for the message. I had no idea there were groups on here! You would think as much as I am on here I would know it all lol. Oh and I workout 6…

Got it! Im going to try to east at least 2000 cal a day. now the only thing is correctly eating those calories. Im learning new things everyday!

I just can't see how to consume so many calories and not go over on areas such as sodium and sugar and protein. Its a complete learning process for me because what I thought would be the easy part (the nutrition) is the hardest part. So you your.calories to 2100 plus you eat back the cal burned?! I just got on an eating…

Oh and I'd really like to thank everyone who replied. Haven't had the opportunity to read them all but just the fact that you took out time to help me out is appreciated :)

Ok sorry for the late reply I was.at work and it got hectic. I burn workout everyday and burn a minimum of 600 cal a day. Sometimes I workout twice a day and burn up to 1500 cal. In a nutshell I burn A LOT of calories a day and I just don't see having to eat back all those calories. I've lost a total of 47 lbs in 3.5…

I've spent over $200 in the last two months on hrm. My first was a body bugg. I still have it and immediately realized that it was just way too complex for me. Plus you have to pay a monthly subscription after the initial free six months online subscription. It monitors calories 24/7 and you have to input your meals, etc.…

Bump

A large glass of this cheap store brand black cherry juice drink. Not even juice, just DRINK.lol And I couldve easily had water with a hawaiian punch to go in it but was too lazy to go to my car to get the packets out

YOU SURE CAN!!! TOMORROW IS A FRESH, NEW DAY!!

yeah that is confusing to me. I basically just wanted to calculate how much I'm burning during my workouts and I don't plan on omitting my caloric intake into the program. Thats what I use mfp for. So this thing isn't the device for me. I think the initial headache of getting it installed and working completely turned me…

Does it require a subscription? Do you have to input your daily caloric intake also?

Update: so I got out set up and linked to my phone and still have no idea what is going on. This is much too complicated for me. I don't need anything but something to count my calories. I hadn't even done anything and it said I'd burned 818 calories. I feel like I need a class to understand exactly how this thing works.…

I would say definitely not body bugg. Its waaaay too complicated and it requires a paid membership. I finally got mine connected after almost an hour on the phone with technical support and I still don't like it. Its definitely going back to 24hr fitness! I will just stock to what the machine says and mfp. It definitely…

Yeah the lowest my heartrate goes in a session is about 154. I usually spend an hour on the elliptical and burn about 800 cal. It's my absolute favorite machine.

Thanks. I charged it completely before even putting it on. It said you are supposed to hear an audible tone when you put it on but I've never heard that tone. Going to take it in to the gym tomorrow and see if they can help me with it.

Same here! I'm 228 lbs and in 30 min I burn at least 350 cal. But thats also because I'm going at 7-9 resistance and a pump it pace (bep song I keep on repeat lol) and my heart rate is about at 160 {according to the machine}.

could you tell which one you got pls? i got the body bugg (from me to me lol) and quickly discovered its way too complicated!

I FEEL THE EXACT SAME WAY! All my clothes fit basically the same. I often think my God how did I get into these jeans 30 lbs ago?! Sooooo apparently my clothes have a helluva lot of stretch lol.

Everything at the department christmas party. Wasn't a.surprise to anyone since I often turn down office party pot luck food. Not big on eating from people's personal kitchen.

I also think you should have your thyroid checked if you are truly eating right and exercising and are getting no results. Good luck with your weight loss. Once you figure out what works for you I'm sure you will do it :)

I have lost 30 lbs in 6 weeks and it was purely diet and exercise. No weight loss pills or shots, not starving myself. I just made a drastic change in my diet and exercise routine. It is possible if you are dedicated. But you also have to look at your current weight. Starting out at 260 lbs it is easier for me to drop the…

I love Marie Antoinette, the other Boleyn girl, the Duchess, Elizabeth 1&2, etc. I love the drama, the scandal, the wardrobe, it's all very fascinating to me.

I think whatever weight is healthy for you and makes you feel good when you look in the mirror is, just what you go for. Its more than about just numbers on a scale but also about your body frame and health.

I highly doubt anyone will put you down. Each person has his/her own personal goals though if your goal weight is 80 lbs that is reason for concern but NOBODY has the right to be judgmental of anyone

I'm also 5'6 but my ideal goal is 125. I am naturally curvy so I doubt very much if I lose these curves. I'm wanting to get back to my boot camp sexy

Ok I seem to be the only one who isn't hungry after a workout. I find that when I workout I'm less hungry and had to change my goal from 1500 a day to 1200 because with my workouts the calories required were ridiculous. I workout two hours a day, six days a week and for me to eat back the calories I burned...too much. I…

Maybe you should take a look in my diary and it will give you an idea of my workouts. And yes, I have two hours a day to sweat my butt off in the gym and I do each and every time. I work a full time job and have two children but I still make time to get in the gym daily. Getting myself in shape is just as important for my…
