I calculated what my maintenance amount would be at 155, and at my height of 5'11'' and lifestyle I could eat 2000 comfortably and not gain. Now I'm currently at about 171 or so, so I am eating 2000 cal/day in hopes that my body will find it's set point and that it will be at about 155. I just started doing this so I'll…

Oooh...have you tried Cold Stone cotton candy MIXED with mint chocolate chip with extra chocolate chips???? :love:

Thanks, everybody! I haven't had my knee evaluated at the moment because I'm waiting for insurance. The elliptical does aggravate my knee and so does the bike. It could be some sort of tendinitis...so not pushing it...even during tennis I'm aware of it so I don't push it too much. I do isolated machines at the gym, but was…

I'll def do that 30 day challenge from the link. I'll double up on the first few days I missed for the month and do it through October. Hoping to lose 4-5 lbs for Oct 1st and have a higher booty! :wink:
-
WOW! Thanks for the fast responses! I've heard of the 30 day shred. I may need to try that. Can't really do lunges with the one knee but I'll definitely incorporate more squats. I do have 12 or 15 lbs weights at home, so I'll use those, too. I guess just getting into the routine of doing them is the difficult part. Looking…

I've been hearing about these cakes. I should really try to make them! I think I'd have to wait and do if for an event or else I'll eat all twelve in like two days!!!
-
I started to do this because when I tried to eat 1400-1600cal/day I'd ALWAYS end up eating more on other days anyway...a LOT more some of those days. So I am eating 2000 cal/day now and still getting in all of my usual activity. I'm hoping this way I'll lose slow and steady. And this will be 100% sustainable for me.

I see it in your face and upper body...collar bones, arm area near chest. Keep up the good work! You may all of a sudden notice more of a change one day...like it almost happens over night. :happy:
-
I have to start doing squats...doing machines at gym for my thass...hope that has the same effect!!!:bigsmile:

I have the Polar FT7. I love it! I can tell when my HR gets a bit too high...usually around 173 or so it feels like my heart is beating out of my chest and then I usually slow down to get it to about 165 or so. I don't always use it, but most of the time. The only thing that really gets my HR up is running...which I don't…

I worked out enough yesterday...OR I didn't go over my calories, so I can take a rest day. :bigsmile:

Now I want bacon...:ohwell:

I've just decided to do something similar to this. I only weigh in on the 1st of every month and eat at or under 2000cal/day. I'll still get in my activity but will just go by how I'm FEELING and how my clothes are fitting vs trying to go by just the number on the scale. :bigsmile: Feel free to add me, too!!! CW (as of…

I LITERALLY decided just this past weekend to only weigh in on the 1st of every month! I was doing once a week...then graduated to almost daily. I thought that would keep me better motivated, but I've been going up and down the same 4-5 lbs over the Summer. SO, I decided to also weigh in once a month. That way I can stop…

I had a HORRIBLE day on either Wed or Thursday. I couldn't eat enough food to satisfy what I was feeling. I know food wasn't the answer...but it managed to numb me and the following day I knew I'd be bloated and feeling gross for probably a few days. Friday I went to the gym and did almost 90 minutes of cardio and weights.…

A loose size 8 in jeans would suit me just fine! Being 5'11'' I don't want to be too small. I'm a 10 right now...sometimes the 10 is a weeee bit too tight. So probably about 10-15 lbs to lose.
-
I'm in a similar situation as you right now. And I just want to let you know that reading everybody's responses to your post has also helped me a bit. It is SOOOO difficult to move on when you see this person and they KNOW how you feel, yet nothing seems to happen. At this point, we BOTH have to start looking at other…

I just got back into doing the circuit after a two month break. I've been doing it since I was in college...so I get burned out quite easily these days, but I know it's essential for changing the shape of my body and firming up. Cardio can only get me so far, plus I have a knee issue going on so don't want to push that. My…
-
SAME EXACT SITUATION HERE!!!! It took reading your post to realize that I NEED to step away, also. Only the guy I like is just out of a 6 year on and off relationship...so I KNOW I shouldn't really pursue. I see him maybe once a month. I think we both need to find other guys to get our minds off these current ones.…
-
It happens mostly with my sports bras. So I end up just tossing them after 6 months to a year...once the funk is permanent. :\ I wash my workout clothes every few days. I sweat a lot and I also try to rotate what I wear so the funk doesn't build up. I'll have to buy some white vinegar...try that soon. Or maybe just stop…

Just don't give up WHEN you slip up, because we all do. The important thing is that you keep going. Make small changes so you're not overwhelmed and quit. And also, try to focus on how you are feeling...not just what the scale reads. Good luck!:happy:
-
Aaaaaand now I want soup.
-
Great work! You look fantastic! I'm somewhere in between those two pics...so about 10-15 lbs to go...give or take. :happy:
-
Yes this is happening right NOW with me. It happens every 14-16 days for me! So I have had LOTS of experience at eating way too much. I do try to counteract it with lots of activity, water and just accepting that I will have pig out days because no matter how much food I've actually had, there's always room for crap at…
-
Half of my closet...:ohwell:
-
Usually thongs...ones that fit. OR commando...depending upon what activity I am doing that day.

I'd just ask for it. The fact that she HASN'T forgotten to pay you...is just neglecting to do it would be enough to piss me off. She is clearly taking advantage of the situation. Lay it on the line. Say you need the money ASAP as somebody said, for moving expenses, and leave it at that. If she doesn't pay you back…
-
I'm still bouncing around between 171-173...just getting over period, so will WI tomorrow again. I am trying to make myself weigh in every day except for when my period arrives. I was more than I thought I'd be today, but it didn't bother me because I know there will be a drop soon...to 170-171. Hopefully a bit sooner! I'd…

You look great! 10 lbs can REALLY make a difference...especially if a lot of it is water weight that I know for ME, can make me look huuuuuuuge! lol Keep up the good work. Once you start exercising more you'll also firm up a bit more, too. :drinker:
