What kind of exercise are you getting in? I almost always end up with extra calories because I'm used to eating within my base limit, but now I've taken up exercise also. This morning (wearing a HRM for verification), I did 15 min of elliptical, 25 min of heavy weights (3 sets, 6 reps, 7 stations), and then 20 min of…

Network Engineer - big fancy name for I gotta fix whatever breaks in the computer network. TBH, yes, I love what I do. I've always been intrigued by computers since I was little. What started out as a hobby, I made into a career. Some days are stressful, some days are easy, but rarely do I do the same thing for very long.…

Use social networking to your advantage also also... sites like LinkedIn and other sites are great if you're looking for a skill position. I know several companies that post on CareerBuilder/Monster/Dice/etc because they have to for compliance reasons.. but really prefer word of mouth kind of referrals. Hit up FB, Twitter,…

Personally, we love ground turkey for many different things. While the calories might not be much lower, the fat content and a few other things might be. Admittedly, we do buy the 90% lean stuff though also or 85/15 at the worst. To make burgers, we usually add in an egg, oatmeal/crackers to help it stick, and sometimes…

If anyone has suggestions, I'd like to hear them also. I've struggled with the same all of my life. I've explored the surgery route just to see what was involved. Most docs (the plastic surgeons) told me that it was the only option as I just had 'weak skin'. I'm currently just trying to slim down and trim down and get down…

This. It's the only way to really know for sure. Even most of the estimates on here are a guesstimate. Also, from everything I've read, the ones with the chest strap are generally the most accurate. More features = More money. I just bought myself a decent one off of Amazon for about 40 bucks.. a nicer one like the Polar…

This. And yes... what others have said. Love is confusing. Relationships cause us to run the gamut of emotions... Leonard was simply able to put it into song.

Good job girl! Way to stick with it AND get your goal!!

Nice job man! Congrats!

Hmm.. trying to figure out what format to post the pics in.. anyone know if it prefers IMG, HTTP, or what kind of code? I followed the other post about how to post pics here.. so far, no dice. Edit: Figured it out. Make sure to use the IMG links from photobucket, but make the IMG lowercase

NICE! I'm having the same dilemma.. what a great site this is ;)

Hey, wanna go back to my place for pizza and sex? What? You don't like pizza?

Sure.. add me. Always great to have more people for support. I'm about halfway through my overall goal. I know where i want to get both weight and tone wise. "Can't" has been removed from my head... only "Will" remains.

I did a quasi-C25K program to rebuild my endurance after I hurt my knee. Basically... I'd run half a mile, then walk half a mile and vice versa until I'd worked out for about a 30 minute stretch. Every week I'd try to make my running time longer and my walking time shorter. After doing that for 6-8 weeks, I ran the full…

Howdy..and welcome to MFP! I sent a friend request to ya. I've still got quite a ways to go on my journey, but it's always great to have more people along to help with the tough times.

Congrats to you and your family (to be?)!!

Rock it dude!

It said my belt size was "Equator"... wth?

Congrats!!

Cloudy with a Chance for Meatballs... never knew what was coming next.

I was raised doing chores (dishes, laundry, sweeping, mopping, vacuuming, etc.), so I try to help out as much as possible. I'm gone 10-12 hours out of the day at work and my wife runs a daycare out of our home. Our home is tough to keep clean because of all the little ones, but if there's laundry to be folded, I fold it...…

Beef, Poultry, Dairy, Corn (used to make sweeteners), and various other things have lots of federal subsidies to offset costs and keep consumer prices low. Healthy vegetable farmers that produce good foods like Carrots, Spinach, various types of Lettuce, Cabbage, the Squash family, etc... they have... well... they have to…

I repeat Phillipians 4:13 in my head when I get tired and don't feel like pushing on.

Wow.. you are stunning!

Great job man! Keep up the good work!

I actually eat 1800ish calories, but minus the exercise.. its the 'net calories' I was trying to figure out. I even go up to 2000 calories occasionally.. but minus the exercise.. again.. Maybe I'm confused on the whole 'net calories' thing. I always eat well over 1200 cals/day

Thanks.. I forgot about that. I've got a bag of raw almonds up in the cabinet.. I'll carry some with me.

Girl Scout cookies.. they're addictively evil.

Born and raised in small towns and farm lands in KS.. feel free to add me! Welcome to MFP!

Thanks for all the suggestions. I used some ice on my knee last night and it felt amazing afterwards. I did 40 min of stationary bike this morning and it's a little tender, but I've got ice on it now. I've been working the abductor/adductor/lower body strength 1-2 times a week as my routine is…
