I'm trying very hard to eat my 1200 currently, I'm toppings my intake gradually as I know that food is.fuel and I'm running on empty. This is my biggest challenge, to eat and know it's ok.

I tried this and got water cramps. Maybe it's just me, but something to consider. ruined my workout :(

Fruit and nuts trail mix granola bar, protein shake after!

I'm going through the same. I added a protein shake and granola bar and usually some yogurt. At least then you aren't eating crap. I was honestly AFRAID to eat my calories and I never felt hungry...so why eat? Because your body NEEDS you to! I was feeling tired and weak and still going to the gym. I was afraid eating more…

This is exactly what I was going suggest. Interval training. 5 min high intensity, 5 mild. I do mine on an elliptical that has a weight loss program. The incline and resistance goes up, you work your butt off, then it goes down and you go at a moderate pace, it does this maybe 5 times.

Anyone? No one? Hmmmm...

I weigh everyday (bad, I know) but only count my friday. I let myself have 1 stress free, non calorie counting day. I usually still lose through the week. I'm 5'3 117lbs and I workout 5-6 days a week, extra hard on saturdays to control what I do to myself on friday lol!

I just, I mean JUST looked into this! Sounds like the polar ft4 is the way to go. Amazon $64.50 much better than the $90 other places! +free shipping! Hope this helps, I'm ordering mine soon!

That's awful! My mom told me.when I was about 7 that I will NEVER be little or tiny, I think she.said this to take pressure off of me to try to be something I ssw in the magazines, but my whole life, I felt defeated. Don't let others determine your worth, you are in charge, take control and prove her wrong. I think moms…

Lol I only have 2 lbs to go to be at 115, probably want to only get down to 108 for an absolute low, but before setting that.as my goal, i need to see what my body looks like week to week. 108 is still healthy for my height, but not sure if it will be right for me, yet.

I know that's a term most people understand, but I don't. I'll have to google it. Lol. I've been going to the gym for four months and haven't learned everything. They don't really have people there to instruct your workouts and I can't afford someone who does. LOL

What's quark???

Chicken, eggs, and fish. I'm a fan of the shakes, but I guess they're not right for.everyone. I'd google high protein foods, I'm sure there are a ton. I think nuts are.a good source too.

Thank you. I feel better knowing that I can push on with how I'm living and that I'm not crazy for thinking that I'm doing good for myself. I'm glad this.site of like-goal minded people.exists. I just don't think people "get it"

My boyfriend has depression/anxiety. The biggest problem for him, is getting to where he needs to go, if you can muster up enough strength to force, I know it's hard, but I mean FORCE yourself to go, even if you have to tell yourself that once you get there, you only have to do 15 minutes and you can go home and do…

This is how I feel too, but I get alot of eye rolls when I say it. I don't know what happened to my friends who used to be supportive, now they think I'm stupid for making it a point to go to the gym or be concerned with what I'm putting into my body.

I do zumba 3-4xs a week and the.elliptical 2-3xs a week. It might be time to visit the weight machines more...the white sports bra is me now. I feel like I still have that lower belly pooch to say goodbye to! That's why I keep up with cardio (since I hear you can't target train)

Ahhh, I eat alot of fiber, I guess I've never noticed that effect. I wouldn't really say that those things are ACTUAL weight gain, but no fun nonetheless

I take a sunmark complete multivitamin it has 100% of your daily iron in it and I split it in half . I'm also anemic, 5'3 and 117 lbs. I go to the gym 5-6xs a week, and I feel fine. I'm not sure where someone got the "iron makes you fat" thing, but I think I'm doing just fine. Lol!

Yes, but I never seem to eat enough calories.

I thought my good diary was open!

Me too! strengthen those quads! And after washing your hands, use the paper towel to open the door!

I think you're absolutely beautiful! just saying. You can't control other peoples ignorance, but you can control your health.

@fire looks good from here!

@paisley you too! Wooo hooo! (that was my inner construction worker coming out) lmao!

Oh love is grand! Beautiful couple

FOOOOOOOD! I know if I go to the gym, I don't feel guilty eating what I want. I REALLY love food! Oh, and beer. Lol.
