aww thanks!! :)

thanks!

You look gorgeous. Congratulations on an amazing accomplishment!!!

Me too. Does this mean that lead doesn't weigh more than feathers because a pound of lead weighs the same as a pound of feathers? No, because that would imply everything in the world weighs the same. Lead weighs more than feathers because if you fill a box with feathers and then fill the same size box with lead, the box of…

Also love the coconut, which is funny because I'm not a big coconut fan at all.

You can get them on Amazon. I got a variety pack a couple weeks ago which was amazing, but they seem to have discontinued it. Really weird. Anyway, I have had good experiences with almost all of them (I don't generally like protein bars). My favorites are Cinnamon Roll, Vanilla Almond Crunch, and Apple Pie. I definitely…

Thanks! I ended up doing it on the floor, because I was pretty sure I couldn't squeeze out even one set of 90 seconds on the ball. I successfully finished all 3 sets at 90 seconds, but was definitely not happy about it. I don't think I'll be moving back to the ball any time soon, but maybe by Stage 4.

I'm moving from New York to Amsterdam (Holland) in 2 weeks. I plan to be there are about a year, but we'll see.

I generally eat an apple with almond butter.

If you're eating your BMR, you should definitely eat back exercise calories. I say move to BMR for a week, then up your calories by 100 each week until you reach your TDEE - 500.

It sounds like you pretty much understand what's going on, so no need to listen to people who are confused themselves. Yes, it obviously matters that you move all day. You have a fitbit for a reason: to see how many calories you are actually burning. It doesn't matter what MFP says; those are just estimates. Figure out…

I'm starting Stage 3 on Wednesday and I have a question. I was doing 60-second planks on a ball in Stage 2, but 60 seconds was pushing it and I don't think there's any chance I can do 90 seconds at this point. Would you go back to the floor for the 90-seconds, or just do the ones on the ball for as long as possible? Thank…

weekly calorie intake, not daily.

Wow, that is seriously amazing. I started running in June of last year, and have only gotten as far as a 10k. That is a HUGE victory. Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!

sugarless gum and herbal tea...

On weather.com, the prediction just changed from 3-5 inches to 10-15 inches :( AY!

This is completely me. I finished the program in August, and it's still me!! I actually have cut back on running since the new year to get really into weight lifting, but I anticipate it starting again when I start running again (probably when it gets a little warmer!).

Wow! Amazing! Great job!

wow, great job!!! that's so exciting!

classy and dedicated!

@LLaceFace beautiful and flirty

I've lost 22 pounds and went from a size 12 to a size 6.

Very exciting! Congratulations on your progress! I started lifting heavy about a month ago and I'm really liking it.

Agreed. You can either just increase your walking speed, or you can also probably run at as slow as 3mph. Running is about the motion, not the speed. Just keep slowing down until you can finish the time.

Learn new languages.

I'm not an expert at all, but my trainer generally has me do a slightly different workout when I only have one day of rest in between (this is also good because it allows me to cover many different muscle groups). So for example, we will do deadlifts and push-ups on Monday and squats and shoulder presses on Wednesday.

1) I did 3 sets of 10 pushups. 2) I took a 4-hour nap (which my body needed because I've been sick). 3) I ate lots of fruits and vegetables. 4) I cooked dinner with what was in the refrigerator (I normally have a tendency to do big shops before cooking) 5) I think I have given my body enough rest and nutrition to start…

Ah ok, makes sense. I guess I got thrown off by the word "chubby" because the weight that I gain when I up my calories to TDEE doesn't actually seem to change the way I look.

The most accurate way to do it would be to leave your activity level as sedentary and then to log your exercise in the "exercise" tab above, each day. Are you measuring your calorie burn on your runs? MapMyRun I've found has pretty good estimates, unless you're running up a lot of hills, in which case the estimates will be…

I'm confused. If you're eating at your TDEE, you shouldn't be gaining weight.
