I always count my exercise calories. And I eat them back. I am also very honest about my activity level so my base calories are accurate. I've lost an average of 1.9 pounds per week since I've started. So something is working for me.

I, too, just finished Week 5 Day 3! It feels great!! It has definitely been a psychological battle with me. My body can handle it... but my mind can't always comprehend that fact!

Before and after. For example, tonight I made steak tacos. The raw meat was 19.05 oz. After cooking it was 14.00. I ate 3.00 oz of the 14. With a little math, I can calculate what portion of the original package I ate: 3/14*19.05. The answer is how many ounces of the raw meat I ate. Then I divide by 4, since a serving size…

Drives me crazy when I hear people say "lots" instead of "a lot."

Not really pronunciation, but I hate it when people say "PIN numbers" or "ATM machines." The last word is already built into the acronym. It is just redundant. Oh, and being a high school teacher, I hear and read it all. I was grading a lab today and a student wrote about an "air" during the experiment. It took me a while…

I love that scale as well. In fact, I want to get another so my husband and I can have one to ourselves! :-) I like it for many reasons: it is so easy to change units (right on front -- not underneath) and the fact that it takes AAA batteries, which I always have around. I wish it had a larger platform, as I have large…

Ahh.. motivation. 1) Myself, my husband, and another couple are losing weight together. We still do a dinner & game night frequently. We take turns making dinner or bringing dessert. It helps to have other people support you and to share ideas with. 2) I have a spreadsheet listing my weekly starting weight, BMR, BMI, and…

Nothing.

Last year, at my highest weight (245#), I was able to ride every ride (although one was tight) at Six Flags St. Louis. Went to another amusement park this summer weighing in at 195# and everything fit. I don't think it is really about weight, but about distribution. The ride that was tight for me just had a lap bar, but my…

Interesting. Although I don't like their age ranges. 15-29? C'mon. I put my age as 29 and was above average for both (what I expected). I input my age as 30 (will be there in 3 months) and was below the national average. I also input my goal weight... below on both! Just another piece of motivation!

Personally, I say who cares? Those insects are probably more nutritious than the food they are in! Plus, most food that we eat already has bugs and parts in them... we just don't know it. (It's allowed by the FDA.) I'm an advocate for entomophagy. The one that does bother me are the band-aids. Seriously... they didn't…

The replies make me feel younger! I've been a high school science teacher for the past 6 years.

@Papaver: artist/dancer?

Depending on the exercise, I use 3#, 5#, or 8# weights.

I started with Level One every other day for about a week and a half. Then I upped it to everyday (starting April 1st). It DOES GET BETTER. I couldn't sit or stand without severe discomfort for two days when I started! Remember, at first you don't have to go as deep into the squats or lunges. But push yourself when you…

I don't particularly like omelettes, but I put cinnamon in my scrambled eggs.

I've never eaten a hamburger. (No, I'm not a vegetarian... just never had a burger!)

Most digital scales need to recalibrate once they've been moved . The directions for my scale states to step on it twice... the second reading being the "accurate" one. I sometimes step on it a third time just to check. The second and third readings are always the same. But I don't move it in between readings.

From sites that offer size conversions, I believe my US bra size is equivalent to a 40E in the UK and an 18E in Australia.

Thanks for the link! I'm definitely not looking for cute... I just want the girls to stay put!

In Feb 2010 I quit cold turkey. On an average day I would have 1-3 cans of Coke (but not every day), and sometimes as many as 5. I was getting bad heart burn and decided to cut things out of my diet one at a time to see how I reacted. Coke was the first thing to go... and I haven't had heartburn since. At about the 7 day…

1) I'd like to have kids soon... but I want to be healthy before I do that. 2) My students see pictures of my sister and don't believe we are related. I don't like being the fat one in the family. 3) To prove to myself that I can and I am worth it. Oh yeah... and I don't like having to buy big bras!! Not cute.
