I'm a nurse who works with eating disorder kids and this type of behavior (and choice of words) is what I see all the time, unfortunately. This is definitely not behavior I would condone, especially if you are wanting to do this every day.

New city, new fitbit! Used to have a Polar FT7. Feel free to add me..I need all the motivation I can get! https://www.fitbit.com/user/3FQK88

I worked a desk job for almost 6 years and I used the regular exercises you can do at your desk. I also purchased a mini stair stepper that I used a majority of the time when I was sitting down to keep my legs moving. (I think I have RLS LOL...I have to have my legs moving all the time)

Welcome, Blake! Hope you are able to meet your goals! I think you'll come to love this site as I do :)

Thanks for posting this! I LOVE chocolate & pb together :) Can't wait to try it...

I wondered the same thing but then decided to just wear my HRM. It seemed easier than guessing! But even though you may not be pedaling non-stop, your body is still working :)

Welome! I know what you mean. When I first started reading these forums, I thought the calories burned seemed really high. After doing some more research I realized that it definitely is possible to burn these many calories depending on your weight. I invested in a Polar FT7 HRM. You can't even imagine how shocked I was…

I could definitely tell...congrats!!

Ugh..i cant stand Tony Horton...something about him just freaks me out. Maybe it's just because i find him annoying to no end.

Welcome! I agree with you...this site is wonderful and everyone is very supportive. Good luck!

I love TJ! I also have Turbo Fire which I absolutely L-O-V-E. It's like TJ on crack! :)

Welcome Michael -- I think we all have that day...when you blink & you're life is exactly where you never thought it would be. But we are so glad to have you here! And it's great that you are taking such a positive step in getting healthier. Good luck in reaching your goals! Kat

Welcome! Hope you love it here as much i do. good luck! :happy:

Welcome Vic ! I completely agree...This is the first time i've been so obsessed about tracking...who would have ever thought?! Good luck in meeting your goals! Kate

Welcome! Sometimes getting started is the toughest part but it sounds like you will do great! Hopefully you will love it here as much as i do. Good luck!

Welcome! Hope you love it as much I do..This site has changed me so much. Good luck in your journey! Feel free to add me as a friend if you'd like. kate

The dance party video i'm assuming sounds like all cardio? I'd probably go that as Aerobics (not sure about the intensity...guess that would be your call). Yoga i believe they have a category for that...and for holding your baby i would count it as weight training :) I had so much trouble tracking my calories too so I…

Welcome! It gets easier to track everything. I'm with you, clgtoro...i am completely obsessed with logging everything now. I've never been this passionate about anything related to weight loss before. it's awesome.

i've never personally tried it however my cousin loves it. She does it a few times a week & has had success with it. She loves it! I have the dvd's but I am seriously the most uncoordinated person so it probably wouldn't be a good fit for me. Lol. But if you can do it, that's awesome! If you can find something you love, it…

I am in the same boat. Cardio is always a good way of losing the fat..but then you gotta make sure you tone up. So I do cardio 5x/wk and toning every other day or every 3 days. I have a pilates reformer so have been using that & I love it!

Welcome Burt!

Welcome! My boyfriend and i plan all our meals on Sunday. Usually we will scour recipe sites for meals and go shopping that day with our list in hand. It took a little while to get used to it but it has become second nature to us. It will get easier the more you do it...but getting started can be difficult. Good luck!

I have the same problem. My legs are very muscular & bulky. I've been doing a lot of cardio to get the small layer of fat over it but I dont think i'll be lucky enough where they'll end up looking too different. I am going to start pilates to strenghten without bulking up even more. hopefully it will work somehow!

congratulations! you look terrific.

Welcome -- I found this site from the app on my phone too and i am so happy that I stumbled on it. it's a great place & it has motivated me a lot! Good luck in reaching your goals!

Welcome! This forum is a great place to get some motivation and support. Good luck in reaching your goals! :) Kate

Welcome! I am fairly new here too so feel free to add me! Good luck in reaching your goals! Kate

congratulations! you're such an inspiration..:)

i just ordered an FT7..got it on ebay for 82.00. i'm so excited to get it & start using it. For everyone who has it..do you only use it all the time or just when you're working out? If anyone could give me some pointers, i'd really appreciate it.

i could use some buddies too! feel free to add me. kate
