I wear a heart rate monitor for my workouts. If I work out in a zone of about 135-165 beats per minute I burn about 10 calories per minute so a 1hr. burn would be about 600 calories for me and I'm a big girl. If I were you I'd get my calories burned from another source than MFP. Theirs is not just over its way over. I have…

No logging for me.

My workout buddies go early so I do to. I get to the gym at 5am and get back home by 6:30 in time to get ready for work.

Depends on what zone you want to work out in. The fat burn zone or the aerobic zone. Also depends on your weight and age. You can do a search for the formula.

Don't worry keep up with the exercise and healthy eating. Your arms and legs will get the message. My legs and arms are always the last to thin down when I lose weight. I am also naturally thicker in those areas.

Don't let what those girls said get you down. They are unaware of the world around them. Their lives consist of texting and nailpolish color. They will hopefully mature a little more and become somewhat productive adults. Maybe not. Just don't let other people get you down. This strength has to come from inside. In the end…

Wow you look great! Congrats on your weight loss.

This is not a big deal. It's not like your doing this every night. Don't beat yourself up . Your diet is absolutely not ruined.

I went on a week vacation to Disneyworld a couple months ago and gained 3 or 4 pounds in a week. I think half of that was water weight from the salty food. It did come off but it also derailed me for a while. Pick a couple of rules to stick with for example nothing fried and at least two fresh veggie or fruit choices a…

Add honey. You could also drink it iced with honey.

I have the same problem. Trying to get used to logging bad days too.

Juice was my shocker too. I don't drink juices anymore. Instead I eat fruit or have an iced tea with a little juice in it for sweetener.

Thanks for the tips. I am going to do the free day once every two weeks. You are an inspiration and look fabulous! Congratulations on your success.

I'm 5'9 and 220lbs. I want to lose 50 more. I currently have lost 50 since January of 2012. Lots of exercise and logging everything. Feel free too add me if you want.

This is actually one of my goals. I can't wait to just be overweight. Good for you congratulations.

Oh I want in too please!

I stay motivated by making it a habit to log every bite of food every day and exercise at least 4 times a week. Once it's a habit it gets so much easier. I still slip up from time to time and go way over my calories but I still log it. Feel free to add me if you want friends who are motivated.

This is an interesting question and I have wondered the same thing myself. My opinion is that when you workout your calorie burn is elevated a little for a while after you workout too. If you think about it this way it just sort of evens out so I log every calorie my HRM gives me during my workout.

Cute post. Congratulations on you gain :)

This is truly inspirational. Thankyou for sharing.

BB cream! My skin is healthy from using it every day now for a year.

Sorry to hear about your house. I am a stress eater too. Good luck to you and fell free to add me.

A sneeze travels at speed's up to 100 MPH. Does that mean that if you are driving your car at a speed of 100 MPH and you sneeze then your sneeze is 200 MPH?

Holy Moley!! What a difference. You both look like different people. Congrats to your success.

yes my girl is a daisy and one day last week I downed an entire box of thin mints by myself in one day.

I needed to read this this morning. Thanks for posting. I feel like I have hit a wall lately and that slippery slope is trying to creep up on me. I too try to remind myself everyday of all the reasons I am doing this.
