Ummmm... I have lost weight all I have to lose actually. As I said there is little to no fat left there to lose.

Thank you!

Yes I'm very aware, I don't trust doctors at all. But I did tell him it was not even an option, which it most likely never will be.

Thats what I was thinking. I would wait several years before I would even consider it ( it would take more than that to save!, ha) Thanks for the info! I've been maintaining at this weight since June.

Yes it is!

If you are following C25K it specifically tells you to run 3x a week and take a day off in between to keep you from overdoing as you learn to run and your body gets used to it. It is important to follow this guideline if you're a new runner. I agree with the other poster, do a different form of exercise instead then run…

Endomondo or Runkeeper, both free on iPhone. I use Endomondo if I'm just going and don't care about pace. I use RunKeeper to keep up with the pace ever 1/4 mile. I'll also wear a HRM to keep up w/ HR and calories when I'm keeping a close eye on everything.

No, but I have issues with Patellar Tendonitis and so I cannot do lunges, squats, etc. I also have lower back problems from a car accident and cannot do dead lifts. I lift all upper body and would love other suggestions for lower body workouts that would be easier on the knees. I tried weighted squats but I love to run and…

33lbs in 158 days by the way. It didn't take me 11 months to lose 33lbs once I put my mind to it!
-
I wouldn't call myself an Awesome Successful Peep, however I am getting to the point where I'm pretty proud of how far I've come in 11 months after having my son!!
-
Yes, I still have about 10 to go but its gone very smoothly, 33lbs of it! I did do Couch to 5k, otherwise I eat anywhere from 1500-2000 cals a day, never less and move as much as possible. I also lift weights 3x a week. Thats it, no other money spent!
-
Thanks mostaverage & congrats to you too!!

I ran my first 3 miles yesterday in 36:39!! I know I have a lot of time to knock off but very excited about this accomplishment and just had to share:) I do plan to keep running although not really sure of a routine yet. I do know I'll run one 'long run' (right now 3miles) a week, otherwise not really sure! I did stick…

Thanks to everyone! claudette: thank you I think your answer was just what I was looking for. It does have the display so I dont have to have and pay for the subscription am I reading that correctly?

Bumping my own...I accidentally won it, first thing I've ever won. So I really need some help! How do I get an account without having to buy the whole system? And the questions I asked in the above thread. Pretty Please Someone?
-
Good, new shoes. Follow Couch to 5 K, if you have a smartphone get the app then go running! I was NOT a runner by any stretch of the imagination. These two things have turned me into one ( or at least a slow jogger) and I'm addicted and LOVING it!

Bump, helpful thanks!

Your BMR is what you need to maintain life, basic functions. Basically in a coma or before you ever roll over or wake up in the bed. Growing hair, nails, etc etc. It is the minimum you should eat daily and does not take into account daily activity, job, chores, etc. much less daily exercise. You need to use your BMR to…

Gosh I'm the wrong person to ask...I know rows are for back, I apparently just can't do them! You can look on thefitgirls.com and she has an exercise database based on the body parts. Or theres an iphone app called jefit that has exercises based on the body parts. Or just use google! My husband started my weights and was…

Since I add my exercise cals back based on my HRM I have my activity setting based on sedentary but I've been wondering if thats where I'm going wrong. I'm a teacher but I sit A LOT for the majority of my day. Then when I do any exercise I wear the HRM. So sedentary seemed the safest bet. But now I'm wondering if my…
-
Sorry I feel like I'm being very nosey here!! I've set my cals to maintenance for now and have been trying to eat more than my bmr which is 1450ish and not have a bigger deficit than 1000 (which has NEVER happened!) My deficit these days has been 250-500.
-
Were you eating 1560 at maintenance or at a specific deficit? and do you net 1860 or just eat that?
-
Thanks this was helpful! I was trying Protein Shakes but then ran out and finally just got more this past weekend. I'll keep on with those. I'm also going to try netting a little more than I have been. Wish someone could say eat this, do this and you'll weigh this on this date...haha, wishful thinking I know!
-
Thanks! I really think I'm netting enough...I've not been losing more than 2lbs a week usually less than that. Just an adjustment to my system I guess.
-
Is this net calories? Do you eat your exercise cals back?
