Small problem, you typed 1000 calories per HOUR vs. per WORKOUT! Eat when you're hungry.

There is a HUGE difference between soreness and pain. Soreness = keep going, pain = STOP IMMEDIATELY. Your body should know the difference. Push yourself! Stretch, drink loads of water (I recommend at least 1/2 of your body weight in ounces; weight-150 pounds, water-75 ounces) and make sure you have adequate potassium and…

If this is a lifestyle change, I'm not going the rest of my life with no chocolate!!!

When I hit 100 pounds lost I finally increased my calories from 1200 up to 1380. It's difficult but not impossible. I eat anywhere from none to all of my exercise calories back because I just eat when I'm actually hungry, and I also try to eat as many nutrient dense foods as I can so I fill up. I do believe food is fuel,…

I'm not to my goal weight but I did just get gifted about 50 articles of brand new/near new clothes that are size 11/12 and I started my journey as a size 24. You better believe that I am walking around in the new clothes like it's my job!!!!! ????

Lol yep happens to me too. After over 100 pounds lost, I too think I might've figured some things out...lol

Seven pounds (I think it was my mind) lol

102 pounds lost doing this ^^^ when it becomes the "healthier choice" to cut out fruit I will stop trying to be "healthy"

I am in love with this thread!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ PB2 is amazing ???? (I like with celery when I'm being good, with honey & pretzels when I'm being a little naughtier) ???? Greek yogurt is amazing ???? Light babybel or string cheese Fiber one products are yummy! Goldfish crackers if I can wrestle them away from my toddler ????…

I'm no longer considered obese, I'm only about 25 pounds overweight, my goal weight is below that though because I don't want to bounce around hovering right at "technically overweight". I've been overweight/obese for about 10 years and I'm sick of it so I don't want to just stop when I'm technically not "overweight" So…

I guess no one can relate... ????

Seems somewhat of an unfair blanket statement. I've been extremely pleased with the accuracy of my Polar HRM. As I've gotten more physically fit I've also been able to push myself longer, harder, further in my workouts. I can see a difference in my calories burned when I am working my butt off and when I'm phoning in my…

I weigh once a week. I measure once a month. I look in the mirror every day ????

^^^^^this!!!! How people track anything without a food scale freaks me out lol. I have major OCD!

My goal for total loss was 140 pounds, I'm at the half way point now, but will reevaluate closer to that goal. Good luck. P.S. I log every day and track every bite. My diary is open.

In my opinion your calories burned at work should be factored in as your activity level not as exercise, but either way I would go the HRM route. Best investment I've ever made in this journey (rather, thanks Hubby for the best b-day present lol)!! You can use the HRM to get an average of what you burn at work to determine…

Whole foods, Sunflower or Sprouts, Trader Joes, Vitamin Cottage and any other natural grocer. Walmart sells too many categories of items to have a good selection of "healthier" options IMO ????

That's awesome, I just completed c25k w2d3 yesterday. I think I need to repeat week 2 this week. I am doing the program to work on my pace. My personal best for 5k is just under 37 minutes, with c25k I'm only getting 2.25 miles in on average, but I know it's improving my pace, endurance & overall training! Good luck in…

I hate the word "cheat" since I don't consider this a diet, more a lifestyle change I don't consider anything I do to be cheating. Every decision I make toward a healthier lifestyle is a success. I try to cut out processed foods, fast foods, refined sugars, processed carbs, etc. However I'm not going to go my entire life…

8-16 "cups" or in the real world 64-128 oz per day. The large variance is based on how active I am, long intense workouts I can go through my entire hydration pack (1.5 liters 50+ ounces)

You look so fab!! Love the pic with you & your daughter in your old pants!!! Can't wait until I'm there too (;
