Totally feeling your pain right now! I've always had problems in this area. And when I adjusted my diet, it feels like I hit a wall all of a sudden! I bought some Metamucil yesterday and started drinking it. I also recently started a morning Apple cider vinegar drink, so I'm hoping this will get things moving! I do weigh…

Just traded my Apple Watch for my Alta HR! https://www.fitbit.com/user/36PBN3

this sounds delicious! when you say 2T...do you mean table or tea spoons? and also what do you use to blend?

thanks for the ideas guys! i guess i should mention that i CAN NOT drink coconut milk and im not a fan of lettuce. i do however love spinach and ive been thinking of switching to almond milk. any thoughts on almond milk? is that something that i could substitute with? i just dont really know what to add to a…

i know how to use the machines, thats not the problem. the problem is weight lifting and figuring out what to work on what days.

kickboxing is an AWESOME workout...and so is zumba! but i have seen more results with 9Round kickboxing. if there is a 9Round anywhere near u, try it out! you get one session free.

awesome, thanks!!

I bought the Charge HR last week, so far I love it!! Its my first fitbit. I am always looking for new motivational friends! https://www.fitbit.com/user/36PBN3

the calorie burn with the charge hr really threw me off when i first got it. before i even put the thing on in the mornings it was reading like 300 cals burned. but then i researched further and realized that they take into account the calories burned while you are just breathing and being alive. which is ok i guess but im…

following this post, i am in the same boat! no matter what i do i cant seem to tone my butt and upper legs...cellulite is an ugly beast!

i usually give mine about 15 min afterwards. it really doesnt matter though because it does record your HR and calorie burn whether your in exercise mode or not. it really just depends on whether or not you want to record that extra time.

in order to record your heart rate and get readings yes. i wish it could work without it though..it can be a little uncomfortable especially when you are doing boot camp style workouts.

Im recommending the Polar FT4 as well. I just got mine yesterday and used it today during my workout. It also comes with chest strap and just enough bells and whistles to get you the info you need concerning calorie burn. I almost wish I wouldve bought the Loop just for MFP syncing, but that was a little more than Im going…

thats great! i went 5 days last week...part of a 5 day challenge for a free tshirt...and ive lost 5 lbs since starting as well. im so stoked about the results i just know im going to see! definitely stepped up my endurance as well...when i started i could barely do 1 push up and as of today i am able to do 5, which for me…

awesome!! i just joined too...only been twice but ive never done anything like it! its such an awesome workout! have you seen any results so far? thanks for the add too btw :)

a small whole wheat wrap with almond butter and honey...delish!

im actually married to my best friend who is 20 yrs older than me. i am 33 and he is 53. we have been together for 13 years and just got married last year. weve never had any "daddy" issues. weve always had a normal relationship...we both understand that will kill our marriage quicker than anything. so age has never been…

I m right there with you! I lost motivation when I started a new position at work in the middle of last summer. I managed to maintain for the most part through the holidays but I want to lose about 10 more lbs and im having the hardest time getting motivated to do it! I have found that If I go directly to the gym when I…

blue diamond habanero almonds are probably my fav, veggie straws (38 for 130 cals), Yoplait greek 100 cal, I also like 1-2oz of boars head turkey (mesquite wood smoked or honey maple) with half a slice of a low fat cheese, pickles...I have the snack area covered lol my problem is breakfast!

thank you!! I got back in the gym a few weeks ago and ive lost about 4 lbs....so far it seems to be going pretty good! best of luck to you and your weight loss journey too! :happy:

i would really like to give this a try but i am a little lost :huh: i get the whole zig zag your cals but im not understanding exactly how your logging and im not sure about eating back my exercise cals. my exercise days vary cause of my 2 jobs. so i dont really know from 1 day to the next if im gonna get to work out. i…

im thinking about a walk around my neighborhood or something! definitely gonna take it easy with it though :smile:

so true! today i managed to do about 30 min of jillian michaels kickbox fast fix...im so glad i done that much but i feel kinda crappy about not doing more!

[/quote] Metabolism raises or lowers to meet your eating levels. So, essentially, those were all "maintenance," seeing as your body adjusted to a certain amount of cals, and plateaued. We hit plateaus at high or low levels, so when we under-eat, our body responds by lowering metabolism to meet it, giving us a lower…

hey thanks for all the great advice! i definitely cant afford a trainer...,books and youtube are more my price :smile:

its almost embarrassing for me to go in the weight room cause i dont even know what to do lol so i just avoid it. my arms really need some work...they are def not tank top arms lol. i will check out the website and stuff! thanks so much! :smile:

i was scared out of my mind to try it, but its def working for me! and im so excited about being able to eat a little more and still lose weight! its a great feeling :happy:

im sure it will! and congrats on your progress so far! :happy:

oh my! yes you should NEVER eat below 1200!!! that is soooo bad unhealthy!! but i am not the weight loss police lol so i wont beat u up :wink: but as far as eating more to weigh less...it works!! or shall i say it is working for me and ive only seen positive posts about it on MFP. i have been eating 1200 a day since…

i work in a bakery and we have samples everyday of pastries, i usually end up eating one and i very seldom add it into my cals because its such a small portion...i know it counts too but i feel like its really a cheat if i dont :p seriously though...no food is off limits for me, i guess a cheat would be when i allow myself…
