  • Thanks! The competition started the beginning of the year. It is point based. We earn 1 point for going to our weekly training session (I have made it to everyone so far) We earn 1 point for turning in an accountability sheet (Again I have done one so far every week) We can earn an extra point for doing good with nutrition…
  • I need to kick it up this week! I will try my best to get to the 4000 calories burned. I am in a competition that my Personal Trainer is running and first place wins $500. It ends on the 28th so it really is time for me to kick it into high gear and finish strong!!!!!!!!
  • I moved every day except Sunday I took a rest day. I burned 2407 calories last week and I tried two new yoga classes. I didn't do any sit ups, squats or push ups.
  • If it is really bad see your doctor see what they recommend. If it is something that happens often maybe look into a chiropractor to help, if it is muscle related yoga can really help with stretching and keeping from injuring muscles when doing other exercises. Groupon often has great deals on yoga classes. YouTube has (or…
  • First which HRM did you enter your personal data? If you only enter height weight etc into one use that one. Second did you keep your hands on the treadmill on 100% of the time? From what i understand about the mio is it only takes a reading when you tell it to. Then it assumes the same heartrate until you have it take a…
  • Doing Squats and lunges with my Personal trainer. It actually didn't hurt to bad right away but then just walking around it started giving me searing pain. 90% of the time it wasn't bothering me but i decided to go to the doctor. She told me to take it easy. My PT suggested Chiropractor, and that really helped. It hasn't…
  • Sweet! I did Hot Yoga for the first time today!!!!! And I did one hour today :happy: I know I won't be able to do 150 of those. I am still healing a strained muscle in my hip so Squats are difficult and I can't do push ups at all. I will try to do the sit ups and do the exercise thing for sure!
  • Water: Lowest intake was 123.3 oz in a day Fruit & Veggie:25 servings (thank you V8!!) Calories: Under Everyday
  • Awww thanks! Honestly share keeps me motivated, I don't want to let anyone down.
  • Sounds like you are doing Keto. If you want ideas for staying low carb www.reddit.com/r/keto should be able to help. I did it for awhile (staying under 20g per day and I was around 1200-1500 cals most days) . Mostly you just need to make sure you eat meat, avoid processed, it adds filler. Filler usually adds carbs. If you…
  • Minutes exercised Calories burned per day Steps take (if people don't have a pedometer there is a great smartphone app called runtastic pedometer and it automatically uploads progress to MFP)
  • Even if it I have some trouble finding bra, I love my boobs
  • I had two problems while on the pill, weight gain and lowered um... interest. I talked with my doctor and she recommend the Nuva Ring. I have been on it since November 2011, in that time i have lost all of my 94 lbs. What is also nice is it is only one thing per month vs a pill per day. You might want to check into this…
  • I have the Polar FT4 and it is a good model, easy to use model. I got mine through Bodytronics.com for about $55
  • You sound like me a year ago. I dropped a ton a weight the first month and then got stuck the next couple. First it is not uncommon to drop a lot when you first start. This is most likely due to water weight, I dropped 10 lbs in one week, and the biggest change was drink more water. Keep in mind that there is a bunch of…
  • My profile says "Sick and Tired of being Sick and Tired!" But seriously I know exactly how you feel. :)
  • I am currently doing a set meal program that is 2 shakes a day and then a low GI meal around 600 cals. then 1-2 days per week I am doing a cleanse (I am doing this through a presonal trainer). So there is now way I can do 5 servings of fruits a veggies a day. I do usually eat 1-2 cups of veggies with my meal though. As far…
  • Day 1: 323 calories burned (from cardio) Day 2: 374 total calories burned (293 from cardio, 81 from lifting) Day 3: 205 (walking) Day 4: 324 (walking) Day 5: Stayed home sick :( Day 6: 228 (walking) Day 7: 844 total (about 200 from weight lifting, not for sure because i had my HRM on for cardio then personal training, then…
  • Whoops, that will only get me to the "Overweight" category for BMI, got a little too hopeful. At least last month I made it to the overweight for HtWR.
  • Day 1: 323 calories burned (from cardio) Day 2: 374 total calories burned (293 from cardio, 81 from lifting) I am pretty sure I won't make the 1000 for lifting but I am sure going to try for it
  • I use the Roseville Snap, and on Friday's I meet my personal trainer at the white bear Snap.
  • I didn't know about this until today, but I still managed to get in cardio on my own. Day 1: 323 calories burned
  • I have people ask me all the time "How did you lose all that weight" my honest answer is "Trial and Error". I had to find what worked for me. What worked for me in the beginning is not necessarily something that works for me now. Sure I can tell you exactly what I did, for how long and how long I maintained it. The…
  • Highest weight: 275lbs 3-30-13 weight: 180.6 lbs 12 week goal: 168 (Healthy BMI :happy: ) Height: 5'3" It may be easier to keep track of measurements in a spreadsheet like google doc or edit grid. If you like this idea and want help I can help set it up. Measurements (actually taken on friday) Neck: 13.25 Left Arm:13.5…
  • To be fair I had a ton of trouble with my first work out, I have to keep sitting down feeling like I was going to pass out. My soreness for over a week from 15 squats, I was excessively out of shape. The second session I was able to make through without stopping.
  • First: Bring a healthy snack to the party that you enjoy and can eat guilt free. For me I just had to learn to say a few things to myself "Do I want to be happy now for a little bit? Or happy later for longer?" "Is it worth the calories?" If something is 200 calories and I only kinda enjoy it... it really isn't. If it is…
  • I started with a personal trainer in January for the same reason, plus I was so scared to injury myself (I'm kinda a klutz). My first session was on Jan 1st and I was so swore even a week later. I could barely walk! My second session was on the 11th and It was better but I still hurt a lot, this time it took a few days…
  • I'm at 1400, if you want to feel free to check out my diary to see what I eat, I'm pretty sure it is open for public. Feel free to add me as a friend, just inculde a short message where/why otherwise I have a tendency to ignore invites:ohwell:
  • I wish you all the luck then. I have been so thankful for my husband's support and it has been so necessary for my continued weight loss. It has been great when we do things together for weight loss, we actually started going to the gym together and he helps me with the machines as well as some other workouts that require…
  • It sounds like she wants to lose weight but doesn't want to put in the effort. You said you mentioned being supportive if she decided to lose weight, have you asked her if she would like your help. Maybe you should suggest doing stuff together. If my husband looked at me and said "I am enjoying what I am doing, but the…
