one question...would any of your answers change if it was wine instead of icing???

then it's time to celebrate !!:drinker:

Hi there!!!! I will say the best thing you can do is pre plan. I try and log my food (as much as I know) in advance usually the night before or during my morning coffee. You can lay out all your meals then add in some snacks to bring up your calories. I think you can add quite a few calories with peanut butter, cheese, a…

if you were gaining then that wasn't your true maintenance calorie level. you have to really play around with your numbers to find the right one. good luck!

I just want to say your story has really made my heart happy!!!!!! You are living proof that no matter how bad things are it's never too late to start changing your life!!! :flowerforyou: sooooo happy and inspired now!:drinker: :heart: , Ang

that's awesome! I just started lifting and my DL is 50lb I would love to do half of my BW!!! do you have any tips as far as form goes? I feel like I'm doing the movement in 2 stages as opposed to one smooth motion...

put your shoes on go out your door and set your timer for 10 minutes. tell yourself that if you want to quit when your timer goes off you can! I bet you'll keep going :laugh: ps I do this for lots of stuff...cleaning, laundry, mail/bills I have to trick myself at times but hey whatever works :drinker:

I weigh everyday. I put in on a graph so I can see the overall trends. Also (just started doing this recently) I average the weigh ins every 10 days. My weight fluctuates so much that 10 seems to be the magic number for me. I also take my measurements every 10 days. That helps tremendously to keep me motivated and on…

bump....racking my brain for questions! must get through first cup of coffee:drinker: :drinker: :drinker:

Maybe we should start that challenge! :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

I do hummus, also precut fruits and veggies from the produce section. also I like to package up any of my leftovers and take them for lunch

bump for me :-)

btw i love tai chi. i learned it in massage school it's so nice and energizing in a calming way.....moving meditation:heart: great idea!

bump.... i was just diagnosed with postherpetic neuralgia and am so upset that i have to slow it down while i heal. they have no idea how long it will last tho so i need so ideas, direction, support :flowerforyou:

yeah I was looking at this one http://www.dietbet.com/games/11601 Sarah's Summer Slimdown I thought $35 was a good amount because I wouldn't just say eff it and blow it off but it's not so much that I can't afford/justify it. also it starts on April 25 and ends May 22. there's about $7000 in the pot right now. anyway I…

aw don't feel bad! I've been there too. I can't see your diary so I can't comment on your nutrition but I would say keep on with the fitness because even if you aren't losing you must have some side effects that are enjoyable....stress relief, increased circulation, feeling of accomplishment. I would definitely say if you…

ok so we need to weigh in by Wednesday every week? I can do any day--just wanna do what's easiest for everyone. right now I've just started working with a cross fit trainer doing one on ones. she changes it up every time which is cool but I definitely thought I was gonna puke a couple of times. the feeling of…

oh I see yeah that would be obliques and more mid lats but I think you're feeling them because your "corset" is tightening up...I love that feeling!!!

can I join? I know i'm late but I need a motivating challenge to take me into summer! i'm going to visit my sister around july 4th and would love to enjoy the benefits of a consistent diet/workout my stats: name: Ang ht: 5'0 aka sixtyinchesoffury :-) current weight: 145 9 week goal: 135 ugw: 125 exercise goals: daily: 10…

maybe a little but what you would be more likely to feel are the lats ( latissimus dorsi) the obliques do wrap around your sides but I think in regards to function/action the lower part of the lats would be more dominant

hey there! I just started cross fit this week. have done 2 one on one training sessions. i'm in a unique position to do a trade with the trainer ( massage for her training me) so cost isn't a factor but I was worried to start. as I started mentioning it to people I noticed a lot of haters out there. many straight out said…

well I hit a little snag! ate soooo much yesterday.....like 1000 over :devil: then started TOM so pretty sure that's related. i'm going to shoot for 100 oz of water today to try and flush this feeling.....oh well it happens also starting cross fit this sunday. i'm pretty nervous because i'm not in that great of fitness…

thanks so much! I will do that
