New runner here too!!! I was working on the 5k app, but it was a bit too easy and hard to do on the treadmill with the intervals, so.... I *gulp* just bumped up to the full app. I'm already addicted! Anyone do most of their runs on treadmills? I need to with my schedule right now... just wondering how you log distances.…

I'm 5'3" I am 2/3 of the way through losing 30. Open diary, add me if you'd like! That goes for anyone.

You're amazing. I'm lucky enough to know you in real life! Good job, girl!

I absolutely LOVE spinning! It's the only "class" I will even do. Unfortunately, I don't have a gym with classes anymore. :(( So great for cardio and keep you legs really strong. I did have some problems with my knees when I was overdoing many years ago, but I loved that it was not jarring like running. I also think the…

Got to the gym this morning and they remembered my name and log in number without asking. I know it's little, but it means I'm now consistent enough they actually know me! Icing on the cake.. my husband went after me (who they totally already know) lady at the front desk remarked to him "your wife was here earlier and she…

^^^^^ For the love of free weights, PLEASE!!

The fact that THIS thread is now 13 pages long makes my brain cry.

Holy Crow! Officially my new boyfriend...

yep. totally. And they're not small either. At this point I just own it. I'm there to workout, do my deal, and go home... not to worry about any of the yahoos who feel the need to be looking that close.

look it up under food, not exercise. It will give you a negative calorie amount logged. Here's another thread about it. There 's 300-500 calorie amounts... I would start high and then see if you can slowly move down without disruption.…

This. Exactly.

Fellow shorty. 5'3" Initial goal is a 30 pound and 6% body fat loss. I'm just over 1/2 way there. Open diary, I eat lower carb (under 30%) and pretty much no wheat (cuz it hateses me.) I also lift all the heavy things. Anyone feel free to add me!!!

Carbs are for suckers! Just kidding. I aim for low carb (under 30% will sometimes drop to under 20%.) Open diary. I also lift heavy things... add me if you'd like, anyone!

5'3" halfway through my 30 pound loss goal. I eat "lower" carb, weight train heavy and work out 5-6 days a week. Open diary. Anyone feel free to add me!

Amazing! Great job!

What the.....?! It kinda reminds me of Elaine dancing on Seinfeld, but with ankle weights.

Try any Imagine Dragons on your playlist?

Only week 2?! For crow's sake give yourself at least 12 weeks before you freak. I'm an apple as well, my midsection is my nemesis, but I find that keeping carbs under 30%, eliminating ALL soda and carbonation, and watching my sodium has a huge effect on the waistline. I also lift heavy, Add me if you like some more support.

5' 2.5" but I CLAIM 5'3" :-) I eat a LOWER carb/primal and about 20% of my TDEE. Workout 5-6x a week. 3x a week heavy lifting and the other 2-3 are cardio. Anyone feel free to add me, happy to help and support all us shorties. I don't have progress pics because I pretty much detest attention in anyway so posting progress…

Fantastic read! Thank you thank you!!

Again, it's normal. It's should be a TON of weight, and make sure you are still eating at a deficit, but some weight gain is normal. Water, muscle mass... both very likely. For example.. I just started heavy lifting 3 weeks ago (after not doing it for almost a decade) I am up two pounds, but down 2% bodyfat and have lost…

Thank you for this thread! I am still trying to lose, but have really struggled for two years with weight coming on and off and then on again. I'm about half way to my goal, but frankly my goal is on the generous side. After some other health problems, my OB/GYN is now suspecting I have PCOS and has referred me to an…

These are great everyone! I have a food board as well, but it's not all primal/paleo. I pin a lot of low carb as well, and also lots of quinoa and sweet potato recipes. Not everything is paleo/primal since I pin stuff for family get togethers, dinner for others... there's also stuff I have pinned in order to figure out how…

Open diary. I eat 80/20 primal and low carb. My carb are at about %15 a day. Super low but I feel great. Any one feel free to add me!

Scrambled eggs are comforting for me... nuts and nut butters.... although I am very limited in my sugars (so I barely eat fruit) a banana with some peanut butter sprinkled with cinnamon is great. Good luck. Stress eating and trying to overcome it is the worst.

SuperWhoLock who loves Steampunk!! Add me anyone!

FRINGE!!!! (last season... I'm so bummed) also Supernatural (LOVE that show) and Vampire Diaries (my guilty pleasure.) Dr. Who started two weeks ago, so I didn't list, but that one tops all Fall lists.

I make a ground beef stir fry my husband loves... basically use the ground beef in place of steak or chicken and then use whatever veggies you've got on hand. (we love peppers, cabbage and onion) you've got lots of great stir fry veggies. fry it all up with coconut oil, LOTS of garlic, cracked black pepper, crushed red…

20 carbs, 30 protein, 50 fat. I feel awesome. My weight is slow to come off, but that's the story of my freaking life. I have an open diary, feel free to FR me and check it out if you're wondering the breakdown.

I currently eat primal plus dairy. I was on 1200 calories a day, but was netting only about 900 after all my exercise.... wasn't meaning to, I just don't get hungry eating this way. I stalled out on weight loss. Now I'm up to 1400 and make sure I at least net 1200 no matter what. We'll see if that helps, if that doesn't do…
