Pretty much!!! I weigh in at around 132, and I'm only 5'4.5" - and I'm prefectly within the healthy range. Pretty much that guy is saying anorexia is the only way to be... or extraordinarily short!!! EFFFF THAT!!! OP, congratulations on quitting smoking, and I'm glad to see you didn't listen to that guy at all!! :) My…

Like others have said, take it slow. I like to pre-log as much as I can. As for myself, I don't generally love exercising, so I try to find things that keep me active that don't feel like "working out" - basketball, dancing, and boxing for example. I also garden and I've been doing a lot of work on my house. I use…

Fantastic job! And I loved the picture story!! :-P

Ohh that sounds amazing! I might have to try something like that! I bet my husband would LOVE that!!!

I think you forgot the "r" in "Fart", OP - You may want to fix that! ;)

I will always say fitnessblender.com - I've been beaten at least twice to say it, but as far as I'm concerned, it's worth saying again!!! ;) You can start with the level 1-2 stuff and work your way up through to the level 5. There are so many different times of workouts, so many different lengths, so many different…

I love fitnessblender.com but I'm not sure that any of their workout videos are going to burn that many calories in the timeframe you're asking about. It's free and I encourage you to check it out though - it's an amazing site with tons of workouts of all levels and types! :)
-
That's lovely!!!

I always stretch after a workout or I end up stiff as a board the next day (or even the next hour). I also try to do at least 10-15 minutes of good, deep stretching before bed every night. I've found I sleep a lot better and wake up feeling less like I'm made of concrete if I take those few minutes (some days is more like…

I've been making my own turkey jerky in a food dehydrator (so salty, but I drink tons of water) - Plenty of protein for not many calories and easy enough to make. Plus, I get roughly 5 ounces of jerky for $2 (it's around $6 for 3.5 ounces if you buy it already prepared). Just a thought, if a dehydrator is something that…

Pleasantly suprised - not what I was expecting at all! I'm glad that you have had a positive experience!!! :)

Aside from the obvious *see your doctor* (in case you haven't already); but if it's a minor, temporary injury, gentle stretching is always a good starting place, moving up to low impact stuff. fitnessblender.com has tons of workout for all levels of fitness - I would suggest starting at levels 1-2, if you feel as though it…
-
fitnessblender.com - they've got pretty much anything your heart could ever desire, all free (aside from a few programs they sell)!!

I'm concerned that they advise to load up on nuts for protein... My personal opinion is that too many people believe nuts are a healthy choice (go, healthy fats!), so they eat too many to stay within their daily calorie allotment if they aren't counting calories. I could eat a whole lot of mixed nuts (like, a half a…

What percentages are you aiming for, if you don't mind my asking? And yeah, I've found it gets easier as you go. :)

I LOVE LOVE LOVE FITNESSBLENDER!!! :) :) :)

I like fitnessblender because I can customize whatever workouts I want, with any levels and types I can dream up. :) They have thousands of videos to choose from and they're all free (although they do have plans you can buy). And I like that they don't yell at me!!
-
My husband is like that - can go all day without eating but once he eats something, that's it - foodfoodfood until he goes to bed. I'm the opposite - if I don't eat within like 2 hours of waking up, I'm a sick, shakey mess for hours after. Funny how that works. :)
-
fitnessblender.com has tons of workout videos for all fitness levels with modifications available in most of them - there's all kinds of treasures on there :) I use the low-impact ones a lot when my knee is acting up... Fantastic site though - it's free and doesn't require any equipment unless you pick a workout that needs…
-
I don't go quite that far out in advance, but I absolutely cook ahead or I would starve to death. :) I actually broke the zipper on my lunch box last week from stuffing it too full a few (dozen) too many times of all the food I eat in a day! I work 12 hour shifts and eat all my food for the day (usually, with the exception…
-
Have you tried tracking on a weekly basis rather than a daily one? That helps me ever so much! That way, if I go over on Tuesday, I can skim just a bit off maybe Wednesday and Friday (so I don't starve to death on Thursday!) and and it ends up evening out at the end? I know how you mean "all or nothing" - I can be that way…
-
Brilliant! :)
-
I like calorie cycling, or at least a general idea of it - I don't really do it on purpose though. I like to look at my calories as a weekly number rather than a daily one. It makes it a lot easier when you want to splurge or if you're just not that hungry. For me, I generally am not that hungry on a big workout day, but…

5'4", maintain around 125-130. Been there since I grew up. :-) I was smaller when I was younger but I like being at the weight I am now. I could probably lose a few pounds if I tried but I feel good at this weight (for now, I don't really have to try to stay here, so I figure this is where I should be!). It's not so much…

Wow! Now THAT is a way to prove a program is awesome! I love not just the pictures (wowzers, by the way!), but the numbers of things you could do before/after. Incredible and so inspirational! Thank you for sharing!!! :-D

You look lovely! And your dogs are gorgeous! I wish my dogs would cooperate to selfie with me!! ;)
-
I'm a big fan of fitnessblender.com workouts - every level, length, and type you can think of! Plus, no boot-camp style shouting. :) Results are different for everyone. :)
-
I love me some mixes! So far, I tend to stick within the German Shepherd/Lab/Husky mixes but I love all dogs (except for Chihuaua's - they scare me a bit!) Currently, I have a 7 year old Husky/Shepherd mix named Lucy we rescued and a 1 year old Chocolate Lab/Hound mix named Kota we adopted... Sweetest darn dogs I've ever…

I like this :)
