I'm not a morning person. On weekdays I hate getting out of bed early for work, so trying to get up extra early to hit the gym just wouldn't happen, so I go in the evening. On weekends once I've had time to wake up on my own I will sometimes go in the morning, but then I find I'm exhausted the rest of the day and don't…

I got a Flex for Christmas and so far it's pretty cool! I like the output of info that it provides and the sleep tracker. Even though I thought I was getting a lot of sleep, it turns out I'm restless quite often!

Hi Guys, Hope you're all settled from the holiday maddness! Here are my numbers from the last week: 12.31 - 204.6 1.1 - 205 1.2 - 204 1.3 - 206 1.4 - 206 1.5 - 206.2 1.6 - 206.2 1.7 - 206.4 My eating has not been great and I've been taking in a lot of sodium. I know what my issues have been over the last week and I'm…

-Continue to focus on improving my diet and logging accurately -Become more consistent with my workouts and begin increasing weight/intensity -Keep concentrating on losing inches, rather than letting the scale determine how I'm doing

Hey Sarauk2sf! Thanks for the bday wishes :) With the holiday and all of the get togethers revolving around eating I stayed away from the scale, but kept up my workouts. I weighed myself yesterday and was 205.6. I was expecting the scale to have moved more, but luckily not! I didn't weigh today, but I will tomorrow and…

Hey Guys, Here's my progress since last week: 12/16 - 208.8 12/17 - 207.8 12/18 - 206.8 12/19 - 205.8 12/19 - 204.2 12/20 - 203 12/21 - 202.8 12/22 - 202.2 12/23 - 203 So far, so good I would say. Monday I spent the day shopping, literally all day and my stomach wasn't feeling great, so didn't eat much. Tuesday was similar…

got hubby beats by dre earbuds...he's been wanting them and might be incentive to get his butt back into the gym!

Me too lol, this was all I could think about while reading this post! I belonged to an Anytime Fitness branch for almost 5 years and we never had the issue of "cheaters" sneaking in or the such. Our owners were very strict with their policy. Even if we were there on a weekend working out and people were at the door, we…

Santaria - Sublime :)

Ok, got it! Yes I should be able to add in a short cardio session on strength days as well. I will also keep walking during lunch. Talk to you guys next week!

Hey SS, thanks for the quick reply! Cardio is on separate days, so I was doing 2 days of cardio and then 2 days of strength. Just so I have this right, you guys would like me to do 3 days of strength and 2 days of cardio or change one of my cardio days to a strength training day? If I can't make it to the gym in Sunday I…

48 hour bump :)

I see my trainer once a week, but I do this type of workout 2x a week

Feel free to add me if you'd like! Everyone could use a friend who is knowlegdable about fitness to help nudge them along the way, plus I love learning new things about different workouts.

One foot in front of the other and don't look back, the past is behind you for a reason. Take care of yourself first and then everything will fall into line! You've got this! Feel free to add me if you'd like :)

Some things that have helped me: 1. I prelog the night before or in the morning. Then I know what I'm eating, how many calories I've consumed and what I have left if I'm hungry or craving something. 2. If I don't buy it, I can't eat it. If there isn't junk food in my house then I won't be tempted to eat it - but as soon as…

I understand and I'm not opposed to trying, if that is your suggestion :smile: I will work on my schedule to make it happen as best as I can. I don't have my book with me today, so this is going from memory - these are 2 examples of the types of programs my trainer has me doing: Example 1 Plank - 3 sets, hold as long as…

Lifting is 60 minutes, which includes a set of core. Typically at the end of my lifting session I am maxed out. Cardio is 40-45 min, typically a 10 minute warm up, 30 HIIT and 5 min cool down. If I'm really sore from my lifting session I will forego HIIT and do steady state cardio. I can be flexible on cardio days because…

I'll have to remember to set it as "not as sensitive". Thanks for this info!

Getting to the gym on work days is sometimes hard because of the travel time involved, but I am willing to work on my schedule if you feel that an increase is needed. Right now I go Tues/Thurs/Sat/Sun. Sunday's is sometimes iffy depending on family requirements, I take care of my father who lives an hour away and sometimes…

I lifted 2x and did 1 cardio session. I have been moving more during the day and making sure to go out during lunch, so that's at least 30-40 minutes of walking

Yikes that could be a problem. I have smallish ankles, maybe the large wristband will fit my ankle and I can wear it like that. I guess I'll give it a try and see how "off" it seems. I'm mostly sedetary at work so if it tells me I've had a lot of steps I will definitely know it's wrong. Thanks for your reply!

I'm getting a Flex for Christma and I can't wait! Question for those of you who have one....I have a desk job where I'm always typing and answering phones, shuffling papers, etc so my hands are always moving. Have any of you found that the hand movements interfere with your counts at all? That's one thing I'm concerned…

Hi Guys! Here are my weigh-in's for the last week: 12/5 - 208 12/6 - 207.4 12/7 - 207.4 12/8 - 207.6 12/9 - 207.2 12/10 - 207.2 12/11 - 208.8 12/12 - 208.8 I haven't gotten a workout in since the weekend due to inclement weather and scheduling conflicts. Let me know if you think I should change anything as far as…

you're doing a great job! you look great! congrats on your loss so far!

Not cheesy at all! Feel free to add me :)

I've become "re-active" over the last two months. Anyone looking for motivation/support can feel free to add me, I'm around a lot :smile:

Ok, that sounds like a fair plan! Thanks for your time and talk to you next week :smile:

Hi Sarauk2sf! Yes, I have been weighing and measuring everything, as well as logging every single item. I did not complete my diary last Thursday or Friday however. Typically I prelog my diary the night before and then adjust as I weigh/measure. I can give you estimates of my weight over the last 6 weeks, that's when I got…

bumping :smile:
