2.5 months ago- I couldn't put ANY weight on my knee. I went from working out 9 hours a week to almost ZERO for 2-3 weeks and then up to MAYBE 1-2 hrs a week while I was healing. Stepstool- I would have had to be airlifted. Seriously. I get it. It feels like you have miles to go- I so know. A little bit everyday and you…

I am still healing from a mid-summer cartilage tear in my knee. The worst thing that you can do is STOP exercising. That being said, you have at least a month before you can even THINK about doing anything even remotely strenuous. Pool work and biking worked well for me. I did a lot of ab and arm work late summer. 3 months…

BUMP!

The heavy breathing grunters in bootcamp drive me crazy. We are all doing the same exercise, yet that one guy feels the need to "OOOOOoooo Owwwwww UGHHH" Darth Vader breathing grunt during the duration of every interval. Distracting and annoying. THe things that bring you gym rage at 5AM... smirk.

1 lb/week is normal and healthy loss

I was complaining to my trainer about that this AM. The weight seems to come off where you don't want it to. The fact is: It will happen, just keep going. We can't choose what gets smaller, despite the exercises that you do. THe key is continued loss. Eventually those areas will taper down. I guarantee they are getting…

Turkey bacon is loaded with sodium. I'm with you- if you are going to eat bacon once in awhile... choose a nice nitrate, sulphite free thick cut.

I recently started wearing ankle weights to bootcamp. WIll boost up to wrist weights eventually as well as I become lighter.

Mine is open to my friends too. I too eat within 1500-2100 range and am losing steadily. Generally I eat clean though if I want something- I eat it with no guilt as I work out religeously every day and life is too be lived, people.

I can't believe that you have gone 67 lbs and haven't had to replace your bras yet?! I have lost 1/2 of that and am on my SECOND replacement. From a D to a B. Yep- bye boobies.

Me too! Roar! Lol.

Yep, a lot of women can relate to this. Myself including. Her results in 30 days is CRAZY?!

Ditto- so 100% consistant.

PS- we roast for 30 minutes with a little olive oil pam. Then shred and sprinkle with parm cheese and garlic salt. I love Spaghetti squash!

Ok, that looks amazeballs.

Newmans light balmsamic vinegar dressing is a staple around here for salads and marinade. No high fructose corn syrup. Tasty. A little goes a long way. Only 45 cals for 2 tblspns. http://www.newmansown.com/product_detail.aspx?productid=10

Your intake seems a little low to me. My husband is 6" 1 and weighs 228 currently. He has dropped 30 lbs since June 1. He works out (running or bootcamp) 5 days a week typically. He was at 1600 and our trainer told him he HAS to eat more to lose fat and gain muscle. You (lucky as hell) guys need more calories, plain and…

I have worn my heart rate monitor to numerous high energy ZUmba classes and clocked in 650-850 in an hr class. On MFP for diary purposes- I typically just log in 400. Same for bootcamp which I know burns WAY more than I typically log- again 400. I would rather UNDER estimate calories burned than over, which is EASILY done.…

THat's so funny! My hubby and I were talking about yesterday how our license weights are our goals. lol. Who is truly going to raise their weight at renewal?! NO ONE!

I am newer to Fitness Pal too. Add me! I started with a goal of 1241 and total joke. It is easy to play that exercise game with added calories on MFP. I recently upped my goal to 1600. SOmetimes I eat my cals back, sometimes I don't. One thing I do religeously? Exercise. I have lost 30lbs since June 1. While with lower…

3.5 months or so to lose 30lbs. It has been consistant but slowing down, for sure.

I do but HATE it. Women unite- it sucks! this TMI but I stumbled upon the Tampax Ultra and it is a lifesaver. Larger than the super plus. Sorry if TMI, ladies...

Yep- my shoes have gone down a size too. My wedding ring is too big. I am worried about the more wrinkle thing though!!! Agh!
