Normally I quit the workout at about the 40 min mark, but yesterday I made past an hour! It might not seem like much but I really feel proud for pushing myself past my comfort zone.

Woohoo! Definitely something to be proud of :D

I love working out in the morning. Once I get over the fact that I'm awake at such an ungodly hour, I start to feel really good about myself. Also, it keeps me in good spirits all day. Even if the rest of the day is complete crap, I still know that I accomplished something for myself. My favorite part about early morning…

Half of the time I work out so I can earn a few more calories ^_^

You are so effing adorable! Keep up the fantastic work!

Om nom nom nom. This sounds so good.

You ladies look great!

I just started some light strength training with some five pound free weights. As for calculating calories burned, I have been using an online calculator that takes height, weight, age, and average heart rate, minutes performed and then tells me how many I have burned. Maybe it's not right?

I am 21 yrs old' 5'11", 218 lbs, BMR of 1838. I normally consume between 1500-1700 calories a day plus some of my calories that I've burned from working out. I go to the gym three or four times a week and try to keep my heart rate above 160 which is 83% of my maximum heart rate, for a solid hour. Am I not getting enough…

this is a couple of summers ago. I"m gonne guess at about 242 pounds And this is me a a few weeks ago at 225 pounds. I'm currently at 219 pounds :)

Thank you for your well wishes. I have the same problem with people telling me that I carry my weight well... Most people can't believe it when I tell them that I'm over 200 pounds.

^ you look so fantastic. My goal weight is 165 but if I can get to 190 by the summer I'll be a happy woman.

Thanks guy!!

First photo approximately 223lbs Second photo 219lbs. I think I can see a slight difference? I definitely look better than when I was at 241lbs.

P.S. how do I post photos onto forums?
