You have no idea how impacted I am by reading your post. Your thought processes are such a mirror of mine. I swear it like I have written this myself. Thank you for taking the time to share this. I am positive that this is going to be such a spirit lifter for many readers to come because it definitely was for me.

This sounds delicious!!!!

You look great! Job well done!

OMG what an informative thread. My bff and I were talking about fiber and she gave me some tips. I came here and had to break out my notepad and add to my shopping list. Thanks guys *****hugs*****

mfanyafujo...I am implementing that tomorrow morning. Off to youtube to see the visuals on plyometrics. Thanks ironsmasher....I am checking it out now. I love this place...full of info...it does nothing for my computer addiction lolllll

Thanks for all suggestions. @mfanyafujo...great point on the challenging part. @mes1119...great idea! I just wanted to fit in some beneficial stuff in my down time. For example, when I am in the shower in the morning, I try to quickly throw in some squats/lunges or while I am at working, I can go into the gym for a quick…

Thanks for the info JNick77. I was just using squats as an example, although I usually do them. But for anything, lunges, lunge jumps, pushups, steps ups, with weights or without, I want to know if I set out to do 100 of them for the day, will splitting them up by doing (for example) 20 at 10am, 20 at 12pm, 20 at 4pm 20 at…

I am in!

The same breakfast I have every day. A smoothie with 1/2 cup of two fruits (today it was 1/2 cup of strawberries & 1/2 of banana) with protein powder, 1/2 cup of almond milk, 1/2 nonfat plain yogurt and 2 ice cubes (since the banana wasn't frozen). :( I am waiting for my chia seed to arrive otherwise they would have been…

You look great. Job well done!

Hey girl...check out fat2fitradio.com. I use that as my guide because I was not losing eating at the calorie amount that MFP had set for me. F2F radio gave me 2235 to eat at moderate activity. It seemed high and I got scared at the low number so i lowered it to 1900 and things seem to be going well and I am losing about 1…

My stomach, the extra baggage on my outer thighs, the carry on bags on my inner thighs, the flab on my arms, and love handles!

I have a cheat meal or a cheat day. It all depends on how I am feeling. I don't get caught up in the eat clean every waking minute because I don't want to place those extreme limits on myself. I am human and every now and then if I feel like going off track, I do just that and get right back on track when I am done.

I tried chia seeds for a month. Although you do not have to grind them, I did and they came out the consistency of sand. I used 1 tablespoon in my smoothies, twice a day. Have not notice a difference. I also use protein powder in my smoothies and now that I have stopped the chia, I am still feeling full after having a…

Yes when I first got back into working out a month ago, I experienced that. Things are much better now that my body has gotten used to things. Also I got proper running sneakers. The previous pair were of quality but I needva stability shoe.

Great job. You look great!

Awesome. Good job!

I am the same exact way. It seems like I go more (even though that's not often either) when I am eating horrible. Nowadays, I am eating a pretty clean veggie, water, fiber and all the good stuff type diet and.... nothing or not frequent, I should say. But if I were to go the diner right now and get my corned beef hash and…

25 more pounds. If I keep at a one pound per week loss, I can get to my goal by September 1st. But at least during the summer I will be halfway there.

You look GREAT!

Thanks for this. I am an app addict!

Great thanks :)

I put one tablespoon in my smoothies, every day, twice a day. You can't taste them at all. I even put them in my daughters smoothie and she doesn't taste them at all.

I think the workout days (the 2200) includes 250 calories as exercise cals. If you burn anything after that 250 you should eat those back. So in your case out of the 500, 250 is already in that 2200. The other 250, you eat.

I am going to check out bodybuilding.com as well. I use the donkey kick machine at the gym and I go light and I feel it as it is working. That machine is the truth! I want to get more of a regimen as well because I am all over the place with my workout plan. The only thing right now that is etched in stone is my C25K and…

Bumping to subscribe.

Thanks for that info. I just did it and here were my results: BMR - 1537.35 x1.55 (moderate activity) = 2383 -500= 1883 1883 is close to what MFP gave me as the normal daily activity So is it just safe to choose a number between the 1330 & 1830?

I can relate to you excecpt it is not that I don't like water it is just that I don't drink that much of anything in a day. If someone was to say you can drink all the juice/soda that you want I still would only drink about 2-3 cups a day, if that. I have to do something to make me want to drink more.

Can I join in here? I am on Level 1 Day 6. I was so busy yesterday I was not able to do it and felt soooooo guilty. I am also doing C25K and wouldn't you know it, I have been having excruciating heel pain. I got new running sneakers last weekend and it hasn't made a difference so I have an appointment with the orthopedic…

Ooh I wanted to buy the Eat This Not That book. I didn't know they had an app. This is great!
