  • I have to agree with everyone talking about consistency; whatever time works for you is what you'll remember to do daily. Failing that, you can always set a reminder on MFP to remind you to log before it's too late!
  • Bob Harper's Inside Out and Jillian's Ripped in 30 are two of my favorite circuit training DVD's of the year.
  • Counting your calories is just something you're going to have to live with for the rest of your life, sweetie. For about 90% of your meals, you should have a pretty decent idea of your caloric intake. If your diet is really varied, it's just something you can't ignore. Everything becomes tedious after awhile, but this is…
  • I'm the "juicer" T.K. is referring to above. I do love doing it as I feel it makes my office lunches easy and enjoyable. I don't have to drag a big lunch w/ me and I don't end up eating out or microwaving anything. The juices tend to be around 250-300 calories and I usually do: 1 c. spinach, 1c. kale (1 big leaf), 1/2…

  • I agree with tigerlily8045 on that one. When starting any training, the schedule you're given is a guideline not a hard and fast rule. If you can't run for a minute and you begin to push yourself harder and faster, you'll never stick with it. I've never done the program (C25k) myself, but have used Nike+ and Shape…

  • While circut training is going to get you in shape, what you need to work on is your stamina/endurance. Warrior Dash is only 3 miles which is a bit under 5k. Having said that, you need to be able to run those 3 miles without stopping in normal conditions. It looks like (from the website) that it's not overly concentrated…
  • That's what I was thinking, but really don't want to invest any money into a new wardrobe until I've truly reached the end of the rainbow. 20 more pounds to go could mean a lot more than just a few dress sizes. Oh well, at least w/ summer coming I can just wear skirts and dresses which are much easier to alter. Thanks, all!
  • I'd love some hints here, too. I have a machine, but have sadly never used it (eep!). My pants look worse than bad on a daily basis at work; is it even possible to take pants in 3-4 sizes and still have them look good?
  • Welcome aboard! Like everyone else is saying, find something that drives YOU! Whether it's a photo of a gorgeous man/woman you'd like to look more like or someone you'd like to bed, or even an outfit. Logging in consistently is important and once things start changing, those numbers (calories, weight, measurements) are…
  • Cheat days are good for you as long as you remain within your allotted calories for the week. I try to make sure that my intake fluctuates from day to day even by a few hundred calories (i.e. 1300 one day and 1500-1600 the next). This type of fluctuation can really keep your metabolism up and avoids the pitfalls of your…
