If you hate exercise is there something you do that could be "exercise" even if it's non-traditional? Just doing my usual walking during the day I'm at almost 15 miles this week from using a tracker (got a fitbit) so even without going to the gym this week yet (over scheduled to the max this week) I've gotten a decent bit…

Ok with the "bad" "evil" "forbidden" foods.... get those out of mind. There will always be brownies, nachos and soda... it's how you handle them that's more important. Can you have one portion of such? or would that put you into overdrive? If so, then there's a deeper connection to food that you need to explore. If it…

Yay! Another person sees the light! The food scale is one of the biggest aids we can have with accountability in logging and I Really wish more people would use them.

The fact that I'm tired and want to go to sleep and can't because I am at work. Might be one of those power nap at lunch kinda days around here, in 3 hours 15 mins... and counting. I hate doing 20 hour days on my work week. Yesterday was only a 19 but even that extra hour of sleep didn't do too much

Waste of time and money. Reading panels on those things it's usually some form of diuretic, caffeine and green tea extract combo. You'd probably get the same results taking diurex and drinking an actual cup of green tea with it and it'd be cheaper. Calories and macros are the way to go. Make sure you're eating enough and…

I got the flex when reading about the clasp issues on force. I haven't had any issues with the flex model and really like it. Can't say long term since I just got it but it's already pretty interesting looking at my activity and sleep areas. Not sure I quite understand the calorie burn with steps though since I walked over…

Well, first I would say don't starve. Figure out your actual TDEE (path to sexypants link will help with that) and go a percentage lower than that. Do weights as has been suggested. But honestly short of amputating something I would really reconsider the goal. Is it worth pushing for a short term loss where you'll gain it…

You look amazing! Way to go. So inspiring and so glad you posted this!

Warm house and warm food - with the cold and snow and knowing folks are without those I am especially thankful to have these 2 things for myself and my family. My job Being able to enjoy my weekend since I'm more stress free now than I have been in a while

Great job everyone! 10lbs is 10lbs and that's something to be proud of =)

For me it was getting my fitbit as an early birthday present with just shy of 25lbs lost. I have 2 more 25lb goals so each of those will be another present. Haven't decided on final ones yet though. There's a scale that fitbit makes that looks pretty neat so that's a possibility... Depending where I am measurement wise my…

Can you write in a gym time slot like any other appointment? I do that so it's like an appointment with myself. Making excuses happens, I did it last week with snow and ice putting me out a couple of days and not just picking back up. I know you're on a tight budget so could you download a step counter for your phone? I…

Down 0.8 this week so 186 now. No gym and eating at TDEE so I think finally have baselines established for intake. Have to see what things look like after next week since 'm back in the gym with no more snowed in days! Was overscheduled last week in addition so I put my gym time on the schedule and that should fix things.…

Love love love it. Never miss a chance to see it !

My question too. I really was interested in getting one but keep going back and forth wondering if since I'm not doing cardio if it's a good investment or at this point not important

Great motivating group to be in! Glad to have everyone here. Disappointed "m not logging miles like I want but I Am in the gym and that matters. Goal this week, hitting all 4 workouts Hard.
-
^^. Are you consistent. Are your calories all over? What about sodium? Drinking enough water? Could be a lot of things
-
I agree with calculated tdee and macros as others have said. Going to that format has me losing and no longer feeling like I am starving after about a month stall. I tried just upping the calories or more cardio or other things that were suggested and for me it was my macros being off and really being wrong on the intake…

Please don't say it's lazy or another choice. He didn't have good study habits coming to you and at 17 that is a LOT of missing foundation blocks to fill in with something like an applied subject which algebra is. How were his grades previously? I'm willing to bet they were the same or worse. Maybe he senses this "Omg this…

I think whatever works for anyone is all that matters. I work a graveyard shift so "breakfast" time for most normal people is like dinner or a late lunch for me lol. Some folks get by on a huge full plate early... others like a more "snack" type thing, figure long as you're eating when you're hungry and being healthy with…
-
Looking at the panels of ingredients it's green tea and caffeine with some vitamins mixed in there depending on which one you pick. You can just buy those 2 supplements cheaper on their own if that's what you want to be taking. I'd be wary because their "complex" is listed as 893mg per dose with "Daily value Not…

SW - 192.4 wk 2 - 190.8 wk 3 - 190.8 wk 4 - 190.2 CW - 186.8 I did my 45ish mins in the gym only 3 days last week. so I'm a little disappointed in missing 1 day and not being able to make it up, but that said... life happens and there's a LOT going on with work and family right now. So this week, I aim for all 4 workout…

If you use Jamie's recipes... seriously get the vanilla protein powder as recommended! We did chocolate ones and they were heinous with chocolate powder lol she's right that they totally bake funky! Kept everything the same 1 batch to the other just used vanilla in the 2nd attempt and they were WAY better
-
Am so sorry you're dealing with this. There's a lot of folks in the boat though so you're not alone. I would say though to never hold anything back with your therapist. They're not going to judge.. they just need the whole picture. I know some of it is hard and can trigger you so if you start hitting one of those spots let…
-
Nope. If they fed us like this at boot camp we'd have been dead. Even the "overweight" folks were eating more food than that and healthier options.
-
Didn't see your height... 154 down to 134 in that short of a time, honest answer.. No. Since you want to get healthier that is. There are a thousand UNhealthy ways to do so. I know no one here wants you to do anything potentially harmful that will set up a cycle of yo-yo weight loss or other issues so let's dissect things…
-
yes it's normal! No fear =) it'll go back down. If you don't track measurements I might recommend that since it helps put it out there for you to see also. I do mine every 2 weeks and seeing that moving when my weight wasn't kept me going
