Hi Everyone! I must admit, I contribute to not being active in this group, but I'm definitely looking to increase my motivation and lose 30 pounds this year! I am an East Sider!

I find protein drinks make me constipated....anyone else have this problem? I'd like to use them more, but it's not worth it to me to get backed up.

great suggestion, i'm going to try that tonight!

That's about what I have to lose too! I'm sending a FR, if others want to send me one, feel free.

Finally got DUs

Great thread! I'm going to look for some of you tonight! When I pin a recipe and try it, I always change the comments to reflect my opinion (or I unpin if it's disgusting).

I'm not doing crazy legs...out of town, however, there is a run/walk for the american cancer society on April 13th at warner park. its only like 25 bucks!

so the problem i have is that i can't go to crossfit regularly which slows my progress. I work on some of the exercises at my own gym, but i only get to the box once a week. I still use my scale (even though the numbers aren't moving on it) to just keep me in line, since i won't be making huge muscle gains.

My kipping pull ups leave a lot to be desired....

bump! All the ice cream recipes I've seen have called for an ice cream maker!

Me too!

I'm looking for some pals too, so I'm going to add a lot of you!

It's not in the DSM-IV or the DSM-V revision, that I know of in the latter anyway. So technically, it's not considered a diagnosis by the community, though it is a commonly thrown around term. Because I work with the courts, I would not use it. I don't bill insurance, but i'm curious how they handle those claims.

Right now, this is not recognized as a mental illness in the field (i'm a psychologist). That being said, call it whatever you want, any sort of calorie restriction/OCD type features around food are dangerous. It's hard to find a balance.

Is whey paleo? I thought it was diary derivative? I'm not criticizing, just genuinely curious.

It is hard. I've found it doesn't need to be an explanation. I'm a grown woman, I put in my body what I want to. That being said, I do it about 75% of the time, so it's easier for me to schedule a little wiggle room for dating....i'm on the eternal quest to find balance.

This is like the nicest response ever!

I love this thread. I like that people are seeing changes without being 100% committed. It's been to hard for me to go 100%, but most weeks I'm between 60-80%. I definitely feel better when I'm doing it, it's just some weeks I don't have the time to prep all the meals!

I'm not expecting to see 70% of the progress....just you know any.

Super cool and good to konw. I'm starting to be stricter this week about the carbs. 100 is the magic number for you eh? I've been trying to figure out what I want to shoot for.

clearly i'm doing something wrong, since i can't seem to lose weight. I think part of it is that i'm only sticking to this about 70 percent of the time....but i still feel like i should be seeing some progress?

This was a great tool to share, thank you so much.

I like electrolyte capsules when i'm running, any of the sports drinks make me vomit. If you are planning on running less than an hour, you don't need any fuel during your run. If you go more than that, you should take in about 100 calories every hour. I've been running for 10 years and feel fine with about 50/calories per…

I'm starting this kind of slow. Doing it more of the time then not, but trying to figure out how to integrate it into those nights out (i'm a single gal). I feel incredibly nauseous at the thought of eating meat (vegetarian for 10 years) so it's been a process. I think i'm going to go get some nuts and sub those for…

We can make it more active! Hi!

I want to do this....how do we track one another? Become friends?

The jumping wide was good advice for me. Today I did a total of 68 burpees. And I didn't cry. Progress.

Put it in the recipe builder and figure it out based on how many servings you want.

This is good advice. I'm avoiding doing them but someone mentioned the 100 day burpee challenge so perhaps i should join.
