What do you mean slump? Motivation?

What do you mean slump? Motivation?

I log it as cardio. The Les Mills website says you can burn up to 600 calories, I log in 320 calories. I probably burn more than that, but i'd rather be conservative with the estimated calories. I love that class. I will be taking it in 2 hours!

1 cup of Bryers light Cookies and Cream ice cream. Almost every day.... Its only 260 calories!

Definately shoes, especially if you aren't on carpet. If you are on carpet you might want to throw an area rug on top so you dont tear up/stain your carpet! Have fun! Enjoy!

A year and a half to two years ago I was at a Gap and I was looking at clothes/jeans. I wore a 38 inch waist, and I can't remember exactly, but either they were tight fitting 38 inch jeans, or they didn't carry 38. Regardless, I had just turned 26 and I realized I couldn't buy pants there. It was kinda depressing, took me…

I don't know if it is right, but I don't do a rest day. I only lift MWF and run the other days. I don't really think a 3 mile run that takes 24 minutes really qualifies as a hard workout day. If I were lifting only, then I definitely take off a day between lift days.... Keep up the great work!

Some clothes just fit different.... Its kinda crazy. At my heaviest I wore a 38 inch waist in some pants, 40 in others, and even 36 in others. It's crazy. My wife is tiny, 5'4, 120, she wears a 0 in some pants, 2 in others, 4 in some, and juniors in others. If you is wearing a 4, then who the heck wear a zero? I lost a lot…

I saw you are from England. 1 cup is 1/2 pint or about 250 ml. Not sure if that was exactly what you meant, but I hope this helps!

In regards to weight loss, anything cardio. Walking/Jogging/Running/Biking. Anything that gets the heart rate up. I love the elliptical when it comes to good cardio work with very little impact. Good luck!

Welcome April! You will love MFP.

Congrats! That is a huge compliment! Last month there was a lady in my Body Pump class that I have seen several times over the last few months and she said "you are looking skinny!" and it was a day my wife was taking the class with me, I had a huge smile, once again, she was a complete stranger. Keep up the hard work! its…

I'm not sure, but I do love Coconut!

Congrats! I did the same thing a week ago, very very very satisfying!

I've heard that sea salt has more flavor, and actually has less sodium than regular tablesalt. Cambell's soup has started using sea salt in some of there soups for lower sodium. Try Googling it.

Being from The South this is not a fact to be prideful of.... These are also the fattest states in the country....

Keep working hard and the rest will happen. I'm sure you know, but if you are doing it just cause you have to vs. you want to, then it won't happen. Shoot for better than a boot camp body, not just your boot camp body. Afterall, you are in the coast guard! haha, j/k, good luck!

I've heard people talk about Coke Zero and clear rum, I think the rum is about 80 calories/ounce.

I have heard/seen people talk about that, but I try not to do it like that. There might be a random day every month or so that I knowingly/willingly go over my calories, but thats for big events. Even those days that I know I will blow my calories through the roof I still try to get in a ton of exercise.... Also, when you…

Congrats! HUGE success!!!

Congrats! HUGE success!!!

I've seen that episode, I was pretty amazed since it seemed like she never worked out hard before in her life. Very positive attitude. When I started the last week of October I could run/walk a mile at a very painful 10:30, now I can run a mile in about 6:45, maybe 6:30, but I would be worthless to run anymore after that.…

If you take advantage of the community forums, food & exercise calculators, and put in the hard work it will be the best money you never had to spend! Good luck!

They can lie to the computer, but they can't lie to their body! Self-esteem/self-image issues.

Cutting out beer was one of the hardest things I did. I love a ice cold beer. I still have a spare fridge FULL of beer from a Christmas party.... I've got Miller, Pabst, Sierra Navada, Saranac, Cruzcampo, Hoffbrahaus, and Killians in my fridge, probably about 30 in total.... They stare at me with depressed looks every time…

I use them as a snack, i'm actually eating one right now. I know they say they are for women, but unless they are loaded with estrogen and I don't see it on the label I think I will be ok. I think they taste better than powerbars.

Yummmm!!! After a hard workout thats not so bad, except for the sodium of course! Was it delicious?

1 cup = 8 ounces. But what i've been told is that it is 8 ounces of fluids, doesn't have to be water per se, but definitely not Coke, Beer, or wine.

We are probably in the exact same boat! You will LOVE this website and the community it brings!

Congrats bud! Our goals are almost identical and I am creeping up on 30 pounds lost! maybe in the next week or two! Good luck!
