my heart goes out to you because i go through the same thing. I've too suffered from all or nothing attitude. my binges have gone so far out of control that i would keep going daily with bad habbits till within 3 months i've gained a solid 50 lbs. then i would lose it...then a year later go through the same thing...gain 50…

get the FT4 polar....from amazon, was $70 when i bought mine & cheapest i've found. I love mine! i wear it at least 5 days a week and its been going strong for about a year now! So happy with my purchase and the band around my chest is comforable too. Hope this helps ur decision!

depends on age, weight, height, and how fit you are.....but i burn 500-630 and i wear a polar heart rate monitor. i'm 23, 145, 5'4

do you experience it in your arch? it may be plantar fasciitis...if so you can freeze a water bottle and roll your foot on it to loosen the tightness in your foot. I have foot pain because of that as well as rheumatoid arthritis :( i hope you find the help you need!

i was just like you until i discovered zumba...and i ALWAYS look forward to that. so you just have to find something you like that keeps you moving :) i do the 30 day shred and cant stand Jillian talking so i just put Pitbull Pandora on blast and drown her out!! I'm getting a little bored with it but i'm liking the results…

thank you everyone! i will log it! :)

there is PB2, i dont know if they sell it in the UK but its 45 calories for 2 tbsp and i actually like it and i'm a peanut butter lover. BUT my all time fav kind is Skippy ALL NATURAL. as long as you dont eat too much PB you will be okay. 2 tbsp wont hurt your diet in my opinion :)

^^what she said! if you try to overcompensate then you will end up doing it again because you feel like you didnt eat all day. That has happened to me many times. And you are def. motivated and true to logging your calories. whatever you MAY have gained is seriously going to come right off i promise you. Also...this could…

Smart girl!!! :)

I am soooo not the runner! ;) haha but i do love my spin classes! i go twice a week..and zumba 3 days a week. also do the Turbo Jam videos. I HAVE the 30DS but i can never stick to it. I just started a tuesday cardio sculpt class....so on thurs i think i'll do 30DS since i cant make it to class. my biggest problem is…

i am JUST like you! i want bad things for me that i never had! :P

love it concept! Bump!

it's very possible that i worked harder today! because i've accidentally forgotten to start it at first too and still didnt burn as many. Today was so fun because i had my zumba buddy in there with me so i was prolly working so much harder and didnt realize it because its just so much fun!...Thanks!

i go to zumba all the time...its my passion....and let me tell you...they LOVE when men join the class!!! it just makes it so much fun! You are awesome for doing this with her...she is going to love it! and if you dont end up liking it as much as her...i'm sure she will see how un-intimidating it is and will try it on her…

thanks to all of you i have ordered my polar FT4!! Can not wait!!!! :) :)

Thanks to those who have posted so far! That really helped!! :)

greek yogurt with honey...and also my go to snack when i want something chocolate is the blue diamond dark chocolate roadted almonds! so good and good for you! :)

me too! glad you asked...i'm constanly eating brown rice and veggies! very good but gets boring...

i too have the same problem...not for the past 6+ months though. In September i decided i NEED to talk to a psychologist about it, because it's been something i've struggled with for 7 years. With past dieting i would do great...but then one slip up or special occassion and it would be all down hill for possibly days and…

haha i like this guy he's funny!

I dont remember where i read this, or how accurate, but i read that your body needs 300 extra calories during your period. Like i said, dont know how accurate that is and i never looked into it further, but maybe its because our body needs extra fuel because of what is going on...now i dont think that gives us an excuse to…

This is great!! Thanks for sharing!

about to read everyone else's responses :) but i will say that i work in fitness and my manager just LOVES hers. she said it really helps her stay moving because it counts your steps. Only thing i personally dont like about it, is that it doesnt monitor your heart rate and that is a key thing to knowing exactly how many…

ok...now were talking! this sounds GOOD!

Thanks everyone!!! and Good tip @harebearva ....I'll keep that in mind!!

it WORKS! it basically helps flush your system out. My friend and I just started doing this and we both lost about 4 lbs the first week...shes on week 2 and has lost 8 and her clothes are getting huge on her. as are mine....i'm going to keep it up! We do about 9 oz water w/ 2 Tbsp. lemon water...i dont use real lemons just…

Thanks everyone! I'll try the website and also look into the books! :smile:

scratch that last post!!! i decided to kick jillians *kitten* tonight! my wonderful husband reminded me how mad i'd be if i didnt do it!! :) love that i have him to motivate me!!!!! <3 GOOD night!!! now i can sleep with no regret!!

going to miss day 6 :( i'll double time it tomorrow after my walk. I hate when i'm too busy to do it in the mornings...life just interferes and i get so exhausted at the end of the day!...i just finished eating and theres no way i can jump around right before bed...i have to be up at 6am tomorrow!.....so thats the plan…

day 5 down... was rough because i normally finish in the morning...and work interfered so i did mine even after a nap....did NOT want to get up for it....but glad i did.
