Alcohol. But I was a heavy drinker. And on top of the alcohol calories, I would binge eat when drunk. I'd just rather not drink.

I had similar issues with my younger sister. I was always very chunky and she is petite. In fact, she has hyper thyrodisim and most of her like was 5ft and 100lbs. After her second child she gained some weight, but still she was between 120lbs and 130lbs. A few years ago (pre pregnancy weight gain), i went down from 215lbs…

Is he nervous or jealous about potential weight loss? Maybe have a talk and see if he has some underlying feelings or fears about your new healthy lifestyle and explain to him why you are doing it. I have added a kid to my bunch recently, and unlike my first born, he isn't as easy to get a workout in with. I do bring them…

Stress and not planning. But I found the weeks I dont have time to meal prep, I just stop at the grocery store on the way to work and pick up fresh ingriedients for a salad or sandwhich and I just prep at my desk for lunch. Super fresh that way too!!!

Dark red cherries and wholly guacomole w/ sweet peppers are the things I have been grabbing a lot lately.

My concern would be the mucsle loss. Even at a 1600 cal diet, if I dont do strenght training, I drop muscle fast. Up to you what your goal is .. if you want the scale to be lower I am sure that will work , but if you want to look/feel your best, slower weight loss per week may be more beneficial.

I stopped logging my calories burned. I use a Heart Rate monitor and usually adjust it down 50 cals each 30 mins of workout. But I have learned that the HRM is not as accurate when it comes to strength training vs cardio. I know my BMR is about 1400 cals, so I set me calorie goal to 1600 on non workout days. On workout…

On my rest days I'll do yoga, a walk, or yard work/mowing lawn.

I'm 29, losing weight again post pregnancy. Feel free to add although I'm a little older. SW: 191 CW: 171 GW: 145

I have a workout partner and it makes it more enjoyable for me. We go daily at our lunch hour. Our gym has workout classes and we use the same personal trainer once a week to learn new routines. It works out to be less than 10bucks a session. We have shoulder days, butt days , kettlebell conditioning, and on a rest day we…

I changed how I track now that I do more strength than cardio. My BMR is a little over 1400cals a day. So on days I workout really hard, I eat between 1700-1800 Cal's. On days I don't workout, I eat 1600. I still use a heart rate monitor to see how hard I push, my I don't log an estimate for calories burned. If I do a yoga…

The owner at my gym is a nutrionist and I made an appt to review a plan. She liked my 1700/1800 cal days better than my 1400 cal days. Feeling confident that I can adjust now and start tracking. She knows how often/type/effort put in my workouts so I feel her plan will work. Although she wants me to stick to 1700/1800 per…

my favorite end of day snack is popcorn!!

Might be the jumping in the burpees. My workout partner has bad knees and has to modify her burpee to not do the jump back and jump up at the end.

I went from struggling with a 30 second plank to doing two 2-min planks in a workout session. Also, went from barely doing a knee-position pushup to a "full on toe" pushup. Slowly seeing progress!

I had the following in my diary in 2012 ; BREAKFAST / LUNCH /DINNER/SNACKS/DRINKS... I managed to lose 80lbs and drank a LOT of alcohol. But stayed in calorie restrictions. I did however switch to red wines/lighter beers/champagne/straight liquor. Frankly, I had an alcohol problem and have been completely sober now for 3…

walkouts!!!! and split lunges/jump squats/burpees

Food scale changed my life. Best $20 spent.

Restarted a year ago but to a break after 20lbs lost. Now ready to lose the last 20lbs to goal. My goals for June 2017 1. Log Daily - Good and the bad 2. Drink 64oz or more daily 3. Get Active for at least 30mins. 4. STRETCH!!!!!!!!!!!

I gained 50lbs. My son is already 15months and I still have another 20lbs plus to lose. Let's be friends!

A year ago I couldn't do a single full sit-up,not one push up, 20 squats nearly killed me. But I really stuck with it. I got a trainer to help with form. I can now do over 60situps in a workout. I can do push-ups (on my toes!), And I can probably do 100squats easy. Keep up the hard work. Push through it. And use the…

I'm looking to lose 20. Feel free to add

I can relate. I lost 80lbs almost 5 years ago. Running injury and I gained but lost it again through diet. Then pregnancy, bedrest pregnancy.. and gained 50lbs. Now here I am again. I lost almost 20lbs, and have another 20ish to go. My exercise has been on point, but just getting back to the eating on track to really see…

I am def a snacker. I had gestational diabetes twice and this particular weight loss journey is from a pregnancy. And since I had my son, I am still stuck in the habit at eating at regular intervals but so far my sugars have been in balance. I am having a really hard time at breaking that habit. I am trying right now to up…

My goal is a size 6. I am currently in a mix of 8's and 10's. Hoping in the next 15-20lbs I make my goal!

I'm 5'4 ; 173lbs and wear an American size 8 or 10. Note I do more weight lifting than cardio now, prior size 10 I was about 165lbs.

I use a Heart Rate Monitor (HRM). I do a workout that is a mix of cardio and strength training. So i just created an excercise under cardio called "Personal Training Circuit" and log the amount of calories burned on my HRM, adjusted for about 30 cals every 30 mins (Thats what I usually burn even when I dont workout)
