What can you do to not overshoot calories every day?

I don't enjoy it either and I have to push myself to get 3 miles in. I even went to a running clinic thinking it was my form. I spent a sh*tload of money on shoes at a running store. Did the C25K program over the summer so diligently and yet, I can't seem to enjoy it. I don't think everybody is meant to love running and it…

Knowledge is power.

I do eat whatever I want but the idea of putting all that meat in my belly isn't really appealing. Glad you enjoyed it.

You don't have to. We all share our own experiences and it is important to have varied perspectives to make an informed choice.

Please be mindful that running, or even jogging, at 230+ lbs is going to put terrible strain on your joints. It will kill your ankles and knees and it is hard to maintain proper form. I was bigger than you when I started my weight loss process and I can't even imagine running at that weight. Start with walking, then walk…

117 pounds = an average fashion model (and shes 5'11") That's crazy but I lost her!

It might help you to make smaller goals. Focus on losing 5 lbs, logging in for one straight week, getting in 30 minutes of exercise, etc. Big goals can be overwhelming when you try to take them in all at once.

Thank you to those who gave me directions on tutorials! I am going to check them out now.

When I read threads on cheating or good/bad food or guilt associated with eating I wonder why there needs to be a punitive aspect to the process of becoming healthier? How can you be truly healthy through punishment?

Nothing! It's super amazing to get leaner, feel stronger, sleep better, get attention, be healthier. I can't think of one thing that I am nervous about when it comes to weight loss. It's fantastic and exciting.

I have a hard time loving KBs even if I use them at the gym 3 times a week. They still hurt my lower back. I have no idea what I am doing incorrectly. Does anyone have a good tutorial?

No food before early morning workouts for me.

Ah, a belief and attitude like this may be why you don't get asked out.

Plain? What do you mean by plain?

Ditto.

Haha! I don't have any either and I realize this is why.

It's annoying. I'm a size 4 and an S (on top) at Old Navy. No effing way am I that size. So it annoys me because where the heck am I going to shop when I go down from the size 6 that I really am and get smaller than an S on top? OTOH, Target doesn't do that but I don't like the clothes there.

What's the worst thing that can happen? That he says no? So what. I'm much older than you and, with age, you learn to be bold. Be bold.

Took me over 6 days and lowering my carbs to get rid of an extra 5lb water weight.

I went from someone who couldn't run 10 steps to running 3.1 miles thanks to that program. Can't run a step more than 3.1 miles though!

I can't think like that. I would have shut it down after the first sentence, before the whole thing snowballs. Fixating on food is not worth it for me.

What did you do to get those amazing legs?!

Nothing is wrong with ypu but something may be wrong with what you are doing. I'm sure you will find it and fix it. I've been where you are with this process.

Maybe he is just totally uneducated in matters of nutrition and fitness. My primary care physician is very ignorant in this subject. He asks me hw i do what i do to get healthy instead of the other way around.

i tend to avoid people who speak for "all" and make assumptions that we're all here for the same reason.

Love this!

Tell her to stop as you don't want to be filmed. Be assertive.

Ditto.
