I have a zip and LOVE it! It is very fun to see how many step in a day...and to 'race' witth friends.,,20k is a ton! I chase my own kids and teach preschool 3 days a week and i only habe gotten to 15 K on the days I have run 5 miles! I think the calorie burn is right..9or at least close...i have been eating to TDEE and not…

5'8". CW 155 GW 135 prob on the low side for me but my plan is to get there and then see where I land eating at maintence...my guess is 140 is more realistic to maintain....

Okay, so I am in same boat and I can tell you that is you are eating to little you do not lose! I have been stuck on a plateau for ever after my initial loss..i have spent weeks playing around with low calorie diets clinging to to belief that if I just eat less i SHOULD lose right? I know i am accuratley measuring food,…

So my annoying problem right now is the weather!!! I am sure I am not alone on this...Went to the treadmill in the clubhouse in my neighborhood Wednesday but wish I could get outside!! Today it has poured all day long!!! i am going to go find some work out dvd to do...but would mch rather be running!

I need a run pal! I am GOing to run consistently! With 4 kids and teaching preschool 3 d a week...i love the Me time of running...and i am going to schedule it for myself this year! I have set a goal of 25 mi this month...i am a newbie ish runner and still struggle w pace and distance, but have really been proud that I can…

Yes, this is me too! I am a comfortable size 8, feel fit, look decent...but really determined to tone so I look great! I am going to focus on BF% since my scale has stayed the same for a looong time but i know i have gotten leaner..and stronger. Needing to be consistent with the workouts!

I was playing around with IF before the holidays and had dropped 2 lbs and I had been stuck forever! I am going to try to program in 2 days a week iIF type of plan....and stick to a lifing / running plan too! I hate eating breakfast so the IF days are not at all hard to pull off!

Been working on the last bit of jiggle for waaayy to long! Determined and committed this time, i know I need to up the weights! Bf% is 30 now and i am focusing on getting to 25 by summer! 5'8 , 154' 42 yo and 4 kids, my abs need attention!! My plan is to be active here to stay focused!

Okay, have read and dismissed this idea....,and kept not losing....Read and became more curious about this..but couldnt dare eat more on purpose...so i tried to excercise more...AND since Janurary have messed woth the 7 day cleanse, the 3 day diet and decided to do serious no carb ( that lasted 3 day UGH!)....i know I look…

I love Syntrax Nectar is the coffee flavor or chocolate...it is 90 cal,0 fat 21 g pro...and also pricey 39$ .....also BSN Lean Dessert 150 cal, 3 fat, 24 pro, abput 24$... in banna pudding or chocalte...,both also have vanilla flavors...

I am sure you've heard this but it took 9 month to put it on and it will take just about that to get it off...enjoy every minute of your sweet new baby...my yougest ( and 4th son) is already 2 and it really does go by fast... Buut totallly appreciate the motivatin to ditch the leggings! Sounds like y are on the right track…

We got the NIKE+ fitness game...it is a real work put as opposed to a game but there are fun parts of it too....

Thanks kel! That is the article that made me start questioning my low ... Your ticker is awesome, are you losing still on 2200? I am going to try 1600 and only weigh in on Wed am...try to only chooses healthy cal and get some excercise in too... Thanks again! Hope it works!! Seems to make sense that if I am not losing at…

Awesome!thanks for the motivation and great job!!! Good to hear about changing what works! Thats what i am teying to figure out now!

Thanks all for the repsonse...appreciate the link to the mfp site and other tips... Mainly you all have said what I was thinking... Up my calories to lose..l If I set it at 1/2 pound a week i have 1600 calories.... My tdee according to fitness frog is 1970....so 1600 would be about roght...then i dont worry abut eat…

Try to eat 'cleaner' meaning cook or prepare foods not just heat up dinner for kids, not eat fast food until at goal weight...restisted pizza, burgers and fries often...and get to goal by may si i can bike swim and run in the spa girl tri...in my swimsuit!! Great check in post! Thanks!

Thank for the responses,.,,reading now...the Road map guy makes a ton of sense! Thanks again!

Finally, i can do3.1!!! Used to think i could never be a runner...now i know ican and even look forward to it...now if only it would warm up a little bit! Next goal 10k!

What said 85 calories....? I put it as 20 min circut trainiing, abot 180 for me.

But i am sticking to it...also going tochange my weigh day to wed...not sat and ONLY weigh on Wed...i a, totally a scale hopper...morning, after excercise, afternoon...if I walk by it... I did…
