Thanks for the good read this morning! Sounds like you're doin it right to me! If it is working go with it. If the weight loss slows or stalls out, then re-evaluate and adjust.

Here is the way I see it. I'm given a set amount of calories to "spend" each day. I'm set on sedentary, so the calories I spend sitting on the sofa for any given hour are already accounted for. If I choose to spend that hour working out, the calories reading I get on my HRM includes the calories I would have spent had I…

Yayyy! Thank you! I just got my HRM the other week and agonized over this. I've been subtracting my BMR calories from my calorie burn but this makes things so much easier. See, not a stupid question at all!

You are awesome!!!!!!! I got choked up reading this. Congratulations!

No way! I love PodRunner, but didn't know they had podcasts that follow C25K exactly! I don't particularly like the music in my current C25K podcast and now that I am running for longer intervals, music is key. Thanks!

I did a search on this just the other day and read you should do it two days in a row, a day of cardio, two days of Shred, another day of cardio and then a day of rest. Edit: Here is the thread where I found this info, for what it is worth:…

I love avocados! I have an ounce or so each morning on toast with hard boiled egg white. My only problem is getting them to ripen and soften up. Are there any tricks for this? I also like to try to grow my avocado pits. I have a number of them in various stages of sprouting (something I did as a kid)!

PB on toasted raisin bread is my after-dinner-snack and I look forward to it all day! Thing is if I go over somewhere throughout the day I cut this snack. Lately it has been the first thing I log each day so I can work the rest of my cals around it. LOVE my PB!

Yeah, I understand. I was laid off in spring 2009. I killed myself looking for a job for 2 years. It destroyed my self-esteem and confidence (not to mention my finances). I finally took a job at Target. I did eventually get a temp job in my field, but was laid off from THAT job a week and a half-ago. I know that…

/quote When I am out I'm usually do a vodka tonic with lime juice, bacardi with diet, or a standard light beer. I noticed the more simple the drink is, the less calories it will have. Moderation. /quote Tonic water has a lot of calories and sugar. Best to avoid as a mixer unless you use the diet version. 90 cal/23g sugar…

Forget the peanut butter, I want to eat your puppy!!!!! So cute!!!!

Good to know it is okay to mix. I think my first instinct would be to cycle through them, but I can see wanting to change that up, too! Thanks!
-
Right! Okay, got it. I'll be starting out at home so hadn't even considered having to share resources at the gym. Thank you!

Looks good! Just wait until you eat this menu, you will feel much fuller and satisfied - you'll be surprised!
-
Yep! Me too!

Exactly!! NSV!!! I am a scale fanatic and this is much better encouragement! Thanks for the support!

Oh, forgot to mention I only joined MFP recently for my last 20 lbs. At my heaviest I was 201. I'm 5'6" and 137 now.

My NSV? This morning when I woke up I was lying on my back I and I reached my hands down and was able to feel both hip bones! My stomach is my final frontier, and lately I have been feeling progress when I could feel one hip bone if I rolled slightly to one side and let the bulge "ploop" to the other side. But today there…
