Good morning all! Well, I had an interesting weekend. Barre class Saturday morning was great. And then Sunday morning I broke my toe. Legitimately fractured it. So... no barre for me this week, no running for at least another 6-8 weeks. My goal for today is to get a little activity in tonight at home. I can't go to barre…

From what I can see a few things: 1) You're not eating breakfast. I would start eating a little something in the morning at least. 2) You're pretty low on protein. Focus on getting in some lean meats/other high protein items. Greek yogurt is one of my favorites. I find when I'm eating high protein high fiber foods I feel…

Newbie here- I posted yesterday to introduce myself but this is my first "real" post. Excited to be here! Fitness Friday: I have been taking barre fitness classes which I LOVE. I can feel myself getting stronger, and I am sore in places I never knew existed. I started out at 2x/week but recently upped to 3x/week (Tuesday…

I'm so glad you posted this because I've been pondering switching to TDEE and tracking that way as well.

New to the group here- just found the thread and I think it will be great for me! Posting and ghosting now as I'm downing my morning snack and off to my Thursday afternoon barre class, but I will be back later to write more. Looking forward to following along and getting to know everyone here!

I think you've gotten some really good advice and feedback. I totally hear what you're saying- I'm 35 and if I knew when I was 18 or 19 what I'd look like/what shape I'd be in now I like to think I'd have done more to prevent it. I have spent too long sitting around feeling discouraged and disgusted with myself and…

Just sent you a friend request!

Why do you care so much about what everyone else has to say about your goals? Your goals are your own, your motivation is your own, your reasons are your own. If people can't get on board with that- who cares? Do you need that attention to succeed and be motivated? You should motivate yourself. Do this for yourself, not…

Can I ask- what is this 6 week Body makeover program and where can I find details? I'm curious :-)

With birth control, as with many other things, everyone's body is different. I get migraines on hormonal birth control of any sort. Have you thought about non-hormonal options? Talk with your Dr. I currently have a ParaGard (IUD) that I've had for about 2 1/2 years and I love it. My periods were pretty heavy at the outset…

This may have nothing to do with any of it, but in looking at your diary I've noticed you're consistently low on protein. Also, how much water do you drink? Just a few things that stood out to me- but chances are you're getting super close to goal and the weight loss is slowing, combined with daily fluctuations... maybe…

1) Advocare Pink Lemonade Spark 2) Silk Pure Almond Unsweetened Vanilla milk 3) Advocare Meal Replacement Shake- Chocolate 4) Bananas- Raw 5) Unsweetened Brewed Iced Tea I expect to see a shift in 4 and 5 soon- probably to Oikos 0% Plain Greek Yogurt and Emerald 100 cal pack Dry Roasted Almonds
-
As long as I get the 100 cal packs of dry roasted almonds or pre-measure them myself from a larger bag I'm ok. But given a bag to eat out of, forget it.

AND not eating my 2 1/2 year old's left over mac and cheese!

Ignoring the chocolate glazed donuts, m&m ice cream cones, and swiss rolls that my girlfriend brought home during our most recent shopping trip!

[/quote] is what the trainer on Extreme weightloss does for the people on the show. He has them at 1500 cals a day with a 2hr workout-- so it made me think, ok maybe its not that wierd?? [/quote] Yeah, sorry, you need to ditch that way of thinking. Extreme workouts with low calories diets and dehydrating before weigh ins…

And I'm sure you will have a few tough days/weeks in between. It's normal. Stick with it, it gets easier. Allow yourself a small treat every now and again (one that you log of course!)

To address your original question- it's mental. Yes, you are experiencing physical reactions, but it's due to a mental thought- you are thinking about that 200 calorie deficit. Otherwise numerous other things can play into being more hungry- timing of your cycle, the weather, how much sleep you got the night before, the…

[/quote] I have an HRM and a BodyMedia, the HRM shows that I hardly burning any calories when exercising, for example yesterday it showed that I burned 250 calories in a one hour zumba class which does not make sense. [/quote] 250 calories is NOT "hardly burning anything" I typically burn 250-350 calories in a workout, and…

Awesome job! Can I ask, how tall are you? I'm 5'6" and currently at 260 lbs- hoping to get down to 145-150 lbs. It would be great to have the perspective of what that looks like on a similar frame :-)

Once a week. I just changed from Saturday mornings to Thursday mornings. I will be doing measurements and progress pics monthly.

Donate for sure! I do Goodwill as it's the closest donation center to me.

Congratulations and way to celebrate- I bet that walk felt so wonderful!

Mine really varies daily. Typically between lunch and dinner, but it really all depends on the day. I usually do smaller meals with a morning snack/afternoon snack and sometimes an evening snack. Sometimes I find my snacks are close to the calories I consume in a meal! I don't think it much matters as long as you're eating…

This. Good luck.

I got my Polar FT7 on Amazon about two years ago and I love it. I use it for swimming in addition to running, biking, etc.

Not sure where you're located, but here in the US there is a brand called So Delicious- it's all products made with coconut milk. Completely dairy free.

I understand where you're coming from, but I say do it. Even if it's two days a week. I have a 2.5 year old and he's in daycare 4 days/week and with my parents Thurs night thru Sat morning. So in the evenings when I get home (close to 6) I usually get 90 minutes to 2 hours with him before he's in bed. And that's on the…
