I've only recently gotten into running, so I'm probably not the best person to ask, but I had to stop for a bit because I was getting awful posterior shin splints from over-doing it. I would say, if you feel like you need to take a break, do it before you start hurting, since you said you aren't. Maybe just cut down to a…

If you're exercising, you need to be eating more than 1200 calories! Use the calorie counter on here for your food AND exercise. It'll give you an estimate of what you need to be eating. You could be putting yourself into starvation mode, which makes your body think it needs to hang on to fat to survive. Eat lean meats,…

Hahaha. Why didn't I think of that then? Damn.

Hellooooo, you're watching movies, make some popcorn! It's not all that filling, and you buy a lower-calorie kind so you won't feel bad about it! :laugh: That's what I would do.

PSH. You're weak. That's right, I said it. :tongue: For real though, I try to avoid dates where we'd both need to be hugging a toilet. I've never done it on a date before, but I think there's a reason for that. :smile:

So, date 2 last night was canceled. We both felt like crap, so we're gonna take a raincheck one night next week.

If I can lose my belly, I'll be wearing a bikini only for days on end, just for the hell of it. :laugh:

I know, I guess I am just frustrated. I have a co-worker who is dropping weight like MAD. Mind you, she's exercising on top of hardly eating, and I know that is not how I want to lose. It just sucks! I'm googling this HIIT thing now, can't hurt to try it. I am having issues with my legs. According to the info I found,…

This is more or less what I was thinking. So what kind of cardio would be the most effective, do you think? I have been jogging, but recently have run into some muscle problems in my calves and am trying not to. My other main form of cardio is my bike, but maybe I should mix it up a bit. Suggestions?

Because there are disorders that involve overeating as well? Maybe. Not sure. I flip-flopped for a while between anorexia, bulimia, and compulsive overeating.

Romaine, tomato, onion, cucumber, onion, broccoli, cauliflower, zucchini, little bit of cheese, and vinegar. :love:

Congratulations! That is awesome!:bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

OMG, so Sabra roasted garlic flavor is my new favorite!

Ahaha, that smiley just made my night.

Also, I keep my fridge stocked with cucumbers-- They're one of my favorites, I dunno about you. If I get a BAD need to snack late, I will just slice one of those up with a little sea salt, and that will usually satisfy it. Also, popsicle brand sugar-free popsicles are 15 calories each, I keep those stocked too!

I started measuring about 20 pounds in, and since then have lost an inch, I THINK. I wasn't measuring in the right spot at the beginning, haha. My friend is a fitness junkie, and says I need to up my cardio. I ride my bike at least twice a week, as well as run. I'm going to try and fit a 30+minute walk in EVERY day if it…

I've never ridden with a group, but I can see how annoying that would be. I'm glad you didn't get hurt!

I always feel so good about myself when I ride like 10, 15, 20 miles. And then get on here and read someone posting 'I rode roughly 1.3 million miles today!' Haha. And then I feel like I REALLY need to get a new bike already. :bigsmile:

That's not very encouraging! Geez. Haha. But I fear it may never go! I'm googling now to find out if there's anything at all I can do to help.

Tell yourself if you really want to eat something, you can do it after you drink a glass of water. Nine times out of 10 you won't want to. Or picture the extra work-out you'll have to do to burn off what you eat, that always helps. :smile:

Barilla I believe it is, makes yummy whole wheat pasta. There's also a brand that's white, but is enriched. Which may or may not be better than regular, I'm not sure.

Oh my geez, that sounds delish! Thanks! :flowerforyou:

Do you think this would still be good with Total cereal? Only wondering b/c I already have that in the pantry. I think it would taste the same, just wouldn't be as fiberific. Haha.

Hahaha, well I will keep you posted! :) I'm not sure what we're doing yet, he only said he really wants to see me, so who am I to deny him? :laugh: Haha.

Hahaha. Noted. Date number two tomorrow night!:blushing:

I just finished 15 miles!

Okay, so I'm sorry I have been so absent lately. I've been slacking the past week, exercise wise. I'm actually alternating biking and running right now, so I'm going to pledge a measly 10 miles this week.

I'm so slacking this week.

And also, note the ticker-- I'm officially at 30 pounds lost! Woopwoop! It's gonna be a good weekend. I'm 'bout to hit the beach in my new bikini. :drinker:

Hahaha, thanks guys. Minus sarge, haha. :flowerforyou: Sooo, last night was pretty great for a first date. I was really expecting it to be all awkward, and it so wasn't! We went out to dinner at my favorite mexican place, and then to a movie. Very low-key, but very fun. :smile: Funniest part of the night was, he drives a…
