Tuck jumps + 180lbs= NOT A SOFT LANDING,LOL! I have had some pain in my right knee. Doing the same as you, kind of modify the moves so the landing isn't as hard on my joints. My HRM still says I'm burning a lot of calories so I don't think I'm compromising my results. Also, since I have hard floors, I started using a rug…

Just finished week 2!! Feel free to add me :)

Sorry if someone had already answered this. I did my calculations using " lightly active" my TDEE came to 2196, so minus 20%I should be eating 1757 BUT I workout A LOT and my HRM usually shows burns of 500-600....... should I not count it and just stick to the 1757 goal? Thanks to anyone who can set me straight!

I will be a crossfit noob w/ u but what is it? Lol. Can I do crossfit at home?

Yes! I used to be very envious of the "goddesses". It made me a little self conscious & I felt huge compared to all these beautiful women in group classes, but I know that going to the gym (just like me) is how they stay looking that way. To be honest, I picture them as once former fatties who had to work just as hard as…

I just got the stronglits 5x5 app, so hopefully it will be easy to track my lifting. Thanks for everyone's input!

Thanks everybody! Yeah, this guy really likes to talk but not looking for a new friend just a guide to lifting weights!

Thank you so much! I will check out the "summary" & will also consider joining the group! (A little hesitant Cruz I am such a newbie)lol

I ordered my polar f4 from Amazon & LOVE IT! It didn't have the option to select strap size, but it is an adjustable loop so when I tightened it there was none left "hanging off". Very easy to use. I was actually burning a LOT MORE calories for running & Jillian Michaels 30DS than what MFP set for me.

^^this. I have the "mommy pouch" & compression pants/capris stay up much better than the yoga type ones. :)

Thanks guys! I can't wait til mine arrives!

You look great! At first I only saw the first two pictures & thought there was a very noticeable difference, but after seeing the third pic., AMAZING:)

Yay! Me too. I am really focusing on my workouts during my time off. I would love to wow some of my co-workers when we go back in August! My girls & I r also challenging ourselves to eat as cleanly as possible this summer!

Anybody?

Home by Edward Sharpe & the magnetic zeros Sorry if i have weird taste in music, but everytime it comes on my playlist I sing it to my hubby :)

Oh wow! I always thought that song would be awesome at a funeral lol! It is a really beautiful song. Have to think for a minute.....

A coworker & I were recently discussing this. I have this problem & she has it worse on one leg. She was told by a nurse that there are lymphnodes(oh man no clue how to spell that) on your inner thigh & that massaging this area w/ any type of cream for 5-10 minutes a day can help w/ blood flow, circulation & reduce the…

Amazing! Just out of curiosity; what's the difference between a "tummy tuck" & the type of surgery you will be having? Best of luck to you! Edit: sorry to post twice! Oooppps

Very inspiring! Keep up the good work! Just out of curiosity; what is the difference between a "tummy tuck" & the type of surgery u are having?

Awesome! I just finished week 7 day 2 this afternoon! I'm still a little nervous about signing up for a 5k race, but everyone on here is very encouraging, would love to find one soon. Best of luck w/ your race, you should feel so proud!

hbrittingham: I agree, when I get to run outside it is waaay better! For now I'm stuck on the treadmill in the garage!

Ok, I think I'm gonna do it! *gulp* I guess I better find my self a real life actual 5k & get my butt registered!! Thanks! And I will definitely check out bridge to 10k. Yikes, scary! Lol

If at all possible, plan a fun activity w/ your son on the same day ad the egg hunt. This way if/when he does hear about it you can remind him he couldn't have gone anyways because y'all were super busy having your own fun! This is what I did the last time I knew my daughter had been excluded from a party.

Sooooo annoying! I have 3 pairs of pants (no clue what brand) that are size 10, but the two pair from the juniors section are size 15! I have no clue what my "true" size is. People seem shocked when I tell them my jeans are size 10 so the ones I have must run big or something. I don't care what the tag says anymore, as…

Ditto to what IveLanded said. I have 2 daughters so I want to focus on health & not "Moms tryin to get skinny" lol I also made small gradual changes so they weren't overwhelmed. I remember in the begining I was so proud because I realized it had been 10 days since we had any fast food (this was a record for us at the…

Your 169 looks way better than My 169, lol!

I have not personally dealt w/ this type of behavior, but I'm sorry you are going through this. I think sometimes when we take control of our eating/lifestyle choices it becomes a great source of pride and even power for us. I guess you just have to use your control & "power" in a healthier way. Maybe focusing on…

Is one whole pepper considered a serving?

You are not alone! Seeing all the success stories w/ pic. on here made me want to take some "before" pictures for myself, just so I have something to compare to as I progress. I DID cry! All I could think is "this is really how I look!?! And this is after already losing my first 11 pounds!?" Hopefully others felt this way…
