Hahaha I didn't think about it being April's Fools. :lol:

If it isn't calories you need, it's being wasted by eating it as well. Would you rather throw it in the garbage, or treat your body like garbage? :innocent:

Congrats on the baby! :smile:

Hi Verde! Did your son have his crossover ceremony for Boy Scouts yet? I have a son who is a First Class, and my 10 year old will be a Webelos 2 next year. I'm excited to get them both into the Boy Scout side so I can take a step back a bit. Haha Of course, my now 4 year old will join in a couple years and I'll have to…

You could bring weights and do leg lifts under your desk. Other than that, you can step back and do some of the others once every hour to keep you moving. It literally only takes a minute to do some lunges, chair dips, or tricep kicks. My favorite are jump squats... they take a little more than a minute, but not much.

Completely dependent upon my day. I typically am not that hungry in the mornings, but will snack like crazy if I don't get enough protein in the evening... so I have a light snack in the morning (fruit and nuts maybe), a regular lunch 500-600 calories with veggies to snack on throughout the afternoon since I'm a grazer,…

When I go to the gym, I use the one in the squat rack since I do squats first. (Provided there is no one waiting to actually do squats, of course) :wink:
-
Have you checked for diastasis recti (a condition where the abdominal muscles have separated)? Are you taking measurements to know whether or not it is decreasing for sure, or are you just going off looks? Is your body fat percentage going down, or mostly just your weight?
-
At work would be my guess. :innocent:

Haha the real challenge will be doing these throughout the day at work without getting caught beating up the air! :grin:
-
Would you consider changing the "under calorie" rule to being within 50 calories of their goal, instead? I'd rather see people eat just a bit over than to be severely under, but I realize I could just be overly sensitive on the subject. :grimace:

Starting weight - 120.0 To my team- I know my weight loss may be minimal, but I'll try to kick *kitten* on the challenges to make up for it! :tongue: Edit: I will NOT kick kittens! I didn't realize MFP auto changes inappropriate words... LOL! um, "booty"

My (nick)name is Casty. I'm the mother of 3 boys, ages 12, 10, and 4. I had abs once. I'd like them back. lol My oldest son was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes almost 2 years ago and I've sort of been in a free-fall since then. It was overwhelming to say the least, but he's relatively independent in his care now and I no…

Yay! I've been waiting for April since I wasn't around to join in March. Haha I'll go with the standard 100 miles as my first goal. :grin:

Put it on lightly active if you log your calorie burn from the exercises. Put it on active if you do not log them, or log them as 1 calorie.
-
Eat more calorie-dense foods. Just because you're trying to be healthier doesn't mean it always has to be salads and veggies. Have a slice of pizza, or slather some peanut butter on toast, or, if you prefer to drink your calories, have a shake or smoothie.
-
This is my first time doing this challenge so you can put me on whichever team you need to make them even. :tongue:
-
I like to log my weight daily becomes I'm a numbers freak and love graphs. Haha But also because I don't want to be surprised at the weekly/monthly weigh in when I haven't lost what I thought I did (either because I really haven't lost it, or because I ate a high sodium meal or worked out really hard the day before and am…
-
Plan those meals to fit within your day (or week). I know I'm going to go crazy if I don't have chocolate, or beer, or a freakin bacon cheeseburger once in a while so I'll plan for those. Usually on the weekend since I'm much more active then. And I'll log it before so I can see what I should have for breakfast and dinner…

My favorite so far has been the flex. There is a Charge HR that tracks your heart rate too that you might be interested in for your cardio, but it isn't waterproof like the Flex. I think the Flex has been accurate tracking my calorie burn without the HR, but I'm new to the Charge HR so I'll try it out a little longer…

Consult your physician.

Weighted squats and dead lifts would be my suggestion for exercises.... but you're going to Hawaii! You should enjoy it no matter what. :smile: Just have fun.
-
Lol Some of you crack me up... you realize bottled water also has some sodium in it, right?
-
A mile is 63,360 inches... divided by 2397 steps... is 26.43 inches per step... so about 2 ft, 2.4 inches? I never filled out my stride length on my fitbit. haha

I either go to the gym at 8 am before work. Or during tax time when I have to be at work at 8 and can't hit the gym, I workout at home at 9:30 pm, or whenever the kids go to sleep. No more TV time, since I have to do the cooking and laundry right after work now. But it all gets done!
-
Many would counter that 2 pounds per week for 4 weeks straight IS drastic. Maybe not The Biggest Loser kind of drastic... but about as drastic as it can be without causing concern for your health. You don't really want an overnight quick fix... those pounds come back just as quickly. Insulin is a hormone and can have an…

Steps in and of themselves are not counted as cardiovascular exercise because they do not raise your heart rate for any extended period of time. If you go for a run, Fitbit will log that differently (as active minutes). You can turn off auto-sync and input the cardio yourself if you choose.
-
Diabulimia is a real thing and if you are having thoughts to try it, you should really speak to your doctor. Is there something about the diet you find difficult to stick with, or are you just in such a rush to lose weight that 2 pounds per week isn't good enough?
-
I'd add you, but I'm afraid I do not have a passion for a healthy lifestyle. Only the desire to not be fat. haha :tongue:
