I don't think time is an issue but, maybe make your breakfast bigger and your dinner smaller. I read all the time that your metabolism is a bit faster in the mornings, which is why people always say not to eat late. BUT If this schedule and meals size is working for you, now, why change it? :bigsmile: ETA: If you have a…

I lost about 25 lbs on calorie reduction alone when I first started. But it'snot that easy or great. It's a lot better with exercise, plus you get to eat more! :D

Sometimes you need to make yourself. A girl I know use to make herself drink one can's worth of water, before she allowed herself to drink a can of pop. Whatever she drank of pop, she had to drink that much of water as well. And now, I think she's been a year(?) without pop at all. You could try the same thing. Eat more…

Unless it would keep you from getting a good night's sleep, I think you're fine drinking it after you work out. And I don't think you need to skip dinner for it. :)

Those, I dislike very much. Not cool Not realistic. I want to see real results that I can actually get. :|

I love before and afters of large women that get themselves down to like a size 4 I'm large, not like a size 12, that maybe large for someone, but not for me. I want to be size twelve. So seeing someone go from 18, 20, 30, even 40 down to single digit sizes is VERY motivating! They can do it, why can't I?

I don't go to the gym, but I try to workout 6 days a week, with 1 rest day. 3 days cardio, alternated and 3 days lifting, alternated :)

Just drink plenty of water. Believe it or not, Sodium helps with hydration, so no one ever want to have too little. As long as you keep yourself hydrated, you should be fine.

Take it slow. I hate veggies too and salad And a few fruits, really. But take it slow, make yourself eat even just a piece. Find something you like with it. Like, now, I enjoy salad with some chicken. I suppose it can be an acquired taste, but I don't think I'll ever like broccoli. Just find what you like, try what you…

Are you happy? Do you like the way you look? Forget the scales now, this is the part where you look at yourself and how far you've come. This is the part where you decide if you look happy and healthy and if this is what you want. You don't like it? What do you want to improve on? More muscle definition? Maybe you do want…

I feel there's a very fine line between obsession and dedication. As long as you can go through a regular day and eat that one extra chip or fry without going "I need to add this one extra piece!" You're fine. I'm not saying don't log everything you eat, but don't be so obsessed that you're adding in literal crumbs. lol So…

You could have a wrong form. Make sure when you run it's your midfoot hitting the pavement, not the heel or the ball of your foot. :)

Yeah, that doesn't look like enough, food-wise. Like, you can lose weight eating nothing but chocolate, as long as you're under your calorie goal, but you're going to be constantly hungry and tired because it's not enough food. Like, ten chocolate bars is 2,100 calories. You're going to be hungry if all you is is ten…

When in doubt, go with the lower number. And when you can, get an HRM and you'll get more accurate readings :)

Watch this girl. She is awesome, and she explains why you need to eat more than just 4 apples a day https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h4fKr4o0Yc4

Okay, Awesome! Thankyousomuch!:flowerforyou:

Take measurements. :)

Everything is an estimate. From what I hears, the treadmill readings seem to be the farthest off, followed my MFPs readings. (Though, I have no problems with it) The most accurate reading would be done with an HeartRate Monitor. :) Also you want to be eating those calories back. Because, eating 1,200 calories, then…

It might be part in your head, but even a week can make it harder to get back to where you were. But I think it may mostly be a mind over matter type thing :)

Start as soon as you want :) And take it slow, you don't need to start off in a sprint for a whole mile if you can't. Just go until you feel like you can't, then walk until you can run again (even if it's not for as long as the first time) You'll build endurance quicker than you think you would. :) I started not long ago,…

You want to NET at LEAST 1,200 It's better if you net at or more than your main calorie goal. You don't want you main calorie goal to go much over your main calorie goal. This is why you exercise, so you can enjoy more food without having to worry about not losing weight :bigsmile: (MFP will up your main calorie goal if…

If you'll still be 500 calories under your goal, then go, eat and enjoy Because, your goal already has a deficit to it. So even if you eat all the way up to your goal you're still at least at a 500 calorie deficit. So it won't hurt you one bit and sometimes its good to indulge, :)

What is dead may never die!

If you want to lose weight fast, limit your intake as much as possible and don't exercise. You'll lose fast! Maybe not for long and once you start eating normal again you'll gain it back, possibly more and you'll be weak, because without exercise you'll lose muscle. Are you sure it's worth all that? Losing 1 pound a week…

You are around 140 Your weight fluctuates, it's very normal, between food intake and water intake your exercise, showers, clothes shoes.You're fine, no need to be so accurate :)

Make it a game. Turn it into something you like. Like me? I'm a big Batman fan, so I've pretty much turned all my workouts into 'Batman training'. Not only am I motivated to move, I'm motivated to push myself. :smile: Or if you're into spies, make it spy training or whatever kind of action you're into. Turn it into that.…

I rp kid-Loki, Robin and Superman on online Roleplay My workouts are 'training in the batcave' Playlists are pretty much sci-fi movie scores I have three fish, Loki, Bat-fish and Harley uhmm... I have a load of comics that I need to read I squeal at anything Batman or Superman Oh and I have a batarang knife! *So excited*…

Wait I re-read it. You eat 1,500 and burn 2,500 for a negative 1,000 calorie NET?

Bump I have the dvd and can't afford an HRM. :( So I'd like to see estimates too :)

Honestly, you can do it however you want, as long as you don't work the same muscle group without about 48 hours of rest between. I workout my entire body every other day (48 hours between) for 3 times a week. The 48 hours rest is so that your muscles can repair themselves and get stronger. When you lift weights, what…
