My personal experience with HIIT is that it makes me feel like I'm starving and I want to eat twice as much as if I do more traditional , longer periods of more moderate cardio. That made it extremely challenging to stick to my goal calories, and it feels like more of a struggle not to gain weight while I'm doing it, let…

Give us some examples o what you're eating where you're not getting enough fat in per meal? If you're not hungry on the 1500 calories, maybe you just need to replace a little something with a little more fat / recipe modification and then it would work out for you?

I'm doing a Whole30, which isn't that different than the anti-inflammatory diet I'd been doing for the past 9 months or so, but it's been really great - mostly for me in terms of support because I'm doing it with a group of friends and have been experimenting with different recipes. I've also been cutting out the constant…

FWIW, every time I've been to a gym personal trainer they try to tell me to eat some ridiculously low number of calories. Personally, I eat 1800-2200 a day and have been losing weight. Last time I had a personal trainer they tried to tell me to eat 1200-1500/day. Anyway, DO eat plenty of fat. That's what's going to keep…

Ana Forrest always amazes me. I believe she's at least 50 in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTcLhOlIk5I

Personally, I know that I get odd side effects from drinking milk and eating low quality cheese in particular. Like I feel like I need to clear my throat constantly and I definitely feel better without it. Goat cheese, sheep's cheese, etc. - those I seem fine with though, so once I'm done with my Whole30, I'll probably add…

Larabars are the only ones I eat, but they have them at the grocery store here, luckily. And Whole Foods recently had a 50% off case sale, so I'm stocked up for a while... Plus I try to limit the Larabars too and only use them for emergencies.

Same here - married for 12 years and we don't even have rings. If someone is flirting with me, it's not hard to bring up my husband in conversation and that's that. Between sports that we both do and my husband's work - they would be off more than they would be on for safety reasons, and they'd be expensive things to…

Try CW-X compression tights/capris/shorts. Those do wonders for sucking everything in and feeling less jiggly when you run. And you can always wear baggy shorts over them if you want a more modest look. Yoga pants don't have nearly the same compression capability. And like everyone else has said - it's worth finding a good…

I'm in. Haha, in the past couple years, whatever candy was left after giving it out to kids, I'd just put it in a bowl and leave it on the front step, thinking kids would take it. Went out the next morning and it was all still there. So much for that plan. But whatever is left goes in the trash.

http://www.webmd.com/fitness-exercise/features/yoga-for-weight-loss I tend to agree with this - I know I've seen a number of studies showing that yoga can help with weight loss, though the evidence does not really point to it being from caloric burn from the workout. You're going to burn some calories, but if that's all…

This. :)

It's really interesting - I've lost weight twice in my adult life. The first time I did it (7 or so years ago) was with a personal trainer, lifted heavy, counted calories and restricted to 1500-1900 calories a day (my trainer wanted me to eat less, but I couldn't do it), and it worked, but I felt like I was starving to…

It's really interesting - I'm a week into my Whole30 and decided to track what I've been eating anyway. I'm not limiting what I eat, just logging it so I can look at the data. I eat quite healthy normally, and really was a little skeptical about how cutting out the like 1 tbsp of honey a day and some chickpeas was going to…

I've felt this way as well. My personal method of coping is to work on keeping my body as strong as I can, take some self defense classes, etc. On one hand, it makes me angry - I shouldn't have to worry about defending myself or avoiding aggressive unwanted male attention just because I'm thinner, but I guess I do. But the…

I would agree with the worry about focusing on a particular weight, or focusing on a particular date for that matter. It's not really possible to lose all the weight at a totally consistent pace - it's going to come off slower the closer your body gets to where it should be. I understand wanting to be dress ready, but what…

Even when I was overweight, my doctor kept telling me I wasn't - even at 5'8" and in the 190s, I was still being told by my doctor that I didn't need to lose weight unless I was doing it for purely cosmetic reasons. His logic was that I've always been very active, have a lot of muscle, I don't carry my weight around my…

We've been working on a few ridiculous things in class lately that are going on my goal list. One was pressing up to a handstand from crow - not even close at this point, but the idea for the progression is to keep pulling your knees in together and off your arms and stay up in crow - which takes massive core strength - I…

Haha, I did the same thing with running in just a sports bra this summer. I started doing yardwork in the backyard. Then went on a trail run with my dog out somewhere where i was unlikely to run into anyone. I only made it to running on trails with a few more people instead of around the neighborhood though and now it…

DH bike, 6" trail bike, XC bike, rigid singlespeed, road bike. And I'd agree that I think there are still several other bikes I could find a use for. I'd like a CX bike for sure, and could use a utility type bike with baskets and whatnot for going shopping.

I agree. There was a guy running shirtless the other day when the weather was cool enough that it didn't make loads of sense to me, but my next thought was to be bummed that it's fall because that guy should run shirtless more often. Seriously - not everyone is going to approve of anything you do. If you're comfortable…

Me too. It's like having a handful of potato chips is exponentially harder than having no potato chips. The only way I can do it is if I only have access to that one small portion. But my husband always has virtually all my trigger foods in the house. They're in front of me constantly. So generally speaking, that doesn't…

That's ridiculous. I would say I have a sugar/carb addiction - in terms of if I have a little, I want more and feel completely out of control. It's all I can think about - and when I'm trying to eat those things moderation I'm like - okay, I had as much as is reasonable for today. And then I feel like my brain turns into a…

I haven't lifted in years and years. Probably 5 or more. I only do yoga, mountain and road bike, run, etc. Yoga is one of those things that encompasses a lot of different things though. I do a lot of challenging power type classes that give me really nice defined arms and shoulders.

I'm in the middle of a 30 day challenge. I do most of my practice in a studio - I definitely am easily distracted at home, and I definitely appreciate the eye, and the adjustments of a good teacher. Lately I've been doing an "Align and Refine" class on M/W/F/Sat and Ashtanga on Tues/Sun. I also teach on Tuesdays and…

Definitely!

Tuna casserole. My mom used to make it when I was as a kid with horrible canned peas that were nearly yellow and mushy. The whole thing was like lumpy beige slime. Blech. I think the whole experience gave me an aversion to the smell of canned tuna, but I love fresh tuna (raw, cooked, whatever). I love every vegetable I can…

I'm at 169 now and don't think I want to lose more than another 5lbs or so. I'm in size 6-8 pants and am pretty happy with my abs for the first time in my life, so feeling pretty good where I'm at.

I did go do bloodwork that showed a gluten intolerance, but the first thing my doctor did before the bloodwork was to try going gluten free for a while to see what happens. Personally, I don't find it particuarly difficult to follow at all if you eat whole foods and cook for yourself frequently. I feel so much better that…
