Usually some cereal at 10 servings for 4 dollars a box that's 40 cents, about 10 cents for the milk, usually an orange at 50 cents and quite often a granola bar at 40 cents. So about $1.40 for around 400 calories.

Giving up soda was huge for me. I was drinking around 4 cans a day, everyday (sound familiar to anyone?). Since I gave it up back in November that is approximately 100,000 calories! ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND! that I haven't consumed. Over 50 POUNDS of sugar I haven't put into my body. Just to give you an idea how much I've…

1 These new size 32 jeans are actually a bit loose, down from a 40" being extremely tight (Goal was 34, whoops) 2 Can actually see muscle definition in my arms and legs 3 Tons more energy 4 No more caffeine induced headaches 5 Can actually easily clip my toenails and tie my shoes without winding myself from sucking…

If I know that I'm going out I tend to eat a lighter breakfast and lunch and not have snacks so I can go out and still enjoy myself. I sometimes will also add an extra workout during the day to give myself more of a calorie buffer. If it's a regular kind of thing I think your best bet would be working on moderation. As for…

I agree different things probably work for different people. -I have no idea how many calories I was consuming before I started calorie counting, but it was probably less than my BMR and I lost weight -When I started calorie counting I was definitely eating at less than my BMR, not really knowing any better, and I still…

I was a 40+ to start, was shooting for a 34" but I tried on an old pair the other day and they did fit, so with 20 lbs still to lose, mostly around the middle I might be shooting for a 32". Quite a bit does depend on the brand though as I read many manufacturers have been increasing the waistline size but keeping the same…

700 isn't that huge a deal, it's only like .2 lbs, the only thing you have to really be concerned about weighing after cheat days (in my opinion) is making sure your sodium intake was in check, otherwise the water weight can throw off the reading by a lot

I usually try to log it, whatever it is. Even if I just have to guess because I don't know the exact calories I figure it's better to have an idea of where you stand than no idea at all. Typically if I'm a bit over one day I'll try to be a bit under the next day to balance things out. It's natural to feel a little guilty…

For me I don't mind, I've lost a decent amount of weight now and putting it in context for people usually makes them more impressed. Usually when I tell people my current weight they think I must weigh less than that because I look (deceptively) slimmer. It's pretty flattering actually.

What an incredible job you've done so far, please keep it up and I can't wait to see what you look like in another year!

Some things I've consumed -Large Dominos Deep Dish pizza. In college I would order two, eat one that night and eat the other throughout the next day -Entemann's Raspberry Danish. I love this so much, I don't even understand it. I start with a respectable piece then just keep coming back until it's gone. -12 tacos in a…

Well I did a full round of P90x Lean and am now doing a round of P90x and Insanity hybrid I've also done all the workouts in Insanity previously. Both of them will give you great results if you stick with it. I think from an overall perspective P90x is better for me because it mixes things up quite a bit. Each day is a…

I think you should be fine, it might be a little adjustment getting used to it but it will probably be better for your joints to have the cushioning of the carpet. I do Insanity in a carpeted room but use a yoga mat. Only a few exercises require me to go off the mat. Every once in a while my foot will catch the end of the…

I have some kind of weird sweat threshold where I won't sweat for quite some time while working out like not even a drop, then once I reach a certain amount of prolonged exertion I start sweating for a while and profusely and continue sweating even after I'm done working out. Since I've lost weight I probably sweat more…

It's taken me about 6 months to lose 80 lbs. I had pretty much no clue what I was doing at first but I gave up soda and started doing some light strength training, cardio and walking. The weight started falling off at that point. Since then I've drastically picked up my exercise (just starting my second round of P90x) and…

I'm 5'8

Started at 250, down to a little under 170, goal weight around 145

I just finished my first round of P90x only missing one day (christmas) from the schedule and now I'm taking the rest of the week off before starting again this coming Monday, since I figured I could use the rest. It's quite odd for me normally on rest days to have that extra hour free, but now having a string of days in a…

Really interesting site, thanks for that link

Being quite a picky eater it's hard to cut out things I enjoy from my diet since I'd be left eating almost the same exact thing day in and day out. The only thing I've totally cut out of my diet is soda. I was drinking 4+ cans of it a day before I stopped. Just out of a morbid curiosity I set up an excel sheet to keep tabs…
