How long are you in the gym and what you doing to burn 1000 cals a session?

39 yr old working mom. I've lost 60lbs, I have 20 more to go!

Do you pack your lunch. My husband works the same shift as you 12hrs 3 days on 2 days off 2days on 3 days off rotating. If you prep and pack your lunch earlier then you can record it before you get to work and stay within your calories

So motivational!!! An excellent reminder that the scale is not everything!! Excellent excellent job! :+1: :star:

Want to go swimming so you need to lose 10lbs? If you go swimming that actually should aid in healthy exercise and being in better shape if that's what your true goal is. But to want to lose weight that fast to jump into bathing suit, I'm gonna guess you're not 18y/o like your profile says. Sounds more like something my…

No. It doesn't. 1 pound of muscle weighs the exact same as 1 pound of fat. the way it appears is different, hence giving a more slimming appearance. That being said. I had a coach who use to tells us it takes 6 weeks to make anything a habit. 2 and 1/2 weeks isn't very long. You will slip up. Acknowledge it, log it and…

P90X perhaps? My brother did it and saw fantastic results. He also didn't drop a lot of weight but he toned and went from a round belly to abs.

Go by what MFP is telling you and get a food scale. Make sure before you buy things at the store, before it goes in the cart look at the label. For instance I love banana nut muffins. But I don't buy them because in my mind one muffin is 1 serving but if you look at the label it says 260 cals per serving and a whole muffin…

How have you been keeping track of 1200 cals? I see you are a brand new member here. How long have you been keeping track. Your post is very vague..

Moxi, although I have not ever been at your max weight I was once classified as morbidly obese for my height at one time. I struggled with weight since I was young and at times did very unhealthy things to get thinner... It was a long sad time ago. I contemplated surgery at one point but I decided that I needed to gain…

This is a lifestyle change. I see your first visit to MFP was May1. You haven't made anything a habit yet. Just keep working on it. Like everything else, it gets easier to manage over time.

@sammyre12 I know to some it sounds crazy, but I have to agree with you. I am seeing much better results since I started running. I do wear a HR monitor as well so I did notice something. As opposed to indoor cycling a another workout, I see longer amounts of higher sustained heart-rates. The only other exercise I find…

Traci, you are young and you are blessed to have a husband a 2 children. You have more than a lot of others could ever wish for. But I do understand wanting to do this for you. SOmetimes your life doesn't feel complete until you find happiness inside yourself...which eventually translate to what you see on the outside.…

How far is the gym from your job? Can you go for 30 mins during lunch? During the week that works great for me.
-
I know everyone is on the Fitbit craze but I have a Polar FT7 HRM. It comes with a watch and a chest strap so I get pretty accurate readings. Works great for me. Doesn't do fancy things like track my sleep but I use it to gage my workouts and make sure I'm working hard enough
-
Thank you. And I know it sounds a bit crazy. I've been heavy almost my whole life. I understood how to dress when I was in the 200s and wearing sizes 16, 18 & 20. Not so much that I'm in the 150s. I see my stomach more than ever. My husband thinks I look great but I'm finding myself still hiding in pictures. I go to…

I'm a little confused..So if you eat 1500 cals a day then you are attempting to burn 1500 cals a day at the gym? How are you measuring that? And If so, why exactly? What kind of goal are you trying to attain? Bottom line, exercise is for fitness, Weight loss is all about Calories In /Calories Out. I don't think your number…

Congrats on 19lbs gone!! That's a great accomplishment! Throughout my journey I feel the same way even though I'm down almost 70lbs I see cute 1x dresses all the time and I'm like, Ohh that would be so cute, then I shake my head because I don't wear a 1x anymore but in my mind I believe I do. I've actually been tempted to…

Ok, so I see you like tacos and lasagna. Try changing up to some high fiber foods. Add more fruits and veggies to your diet also. Try popcorn when you are hungry. Alot of what you are eating is high in sodium. that makes you thirsty. Sometimes people mistake thirst as hunger. Try drinking a bottle of water and waiting 15…

I just came off of a week long cruise to the Bahamas which was a great excuse not to even log into my phone because I did not want roaming charges so I didn't keep track of calories, ate what I wanted, drank what I wanted and gained 4lbs...Well actually 13 but 9 came off in the first 3 days (water weight). Just have a good…

You know what to do and you know there's no magic pill. Just get back on the horse. It will work out and one day it'll even stick. Trust me, I have gained and lost more times than I care to admit. Life happens, crap happens, and sometimes I'm just lazy but acknowledging it is half the battle!

Yes that counts. Once you log in, you're in regardless if you do nothing but read

You can always try the passive aggressive approach. Keep your headphones on...sing out loud...she should get the hint. If she keeps talking start dancing

Even if you don't record anything, if you log on your streak continues. Spend 24hr without logging on. That will start you back at 1

Same here don't feel bad. Left last week April 2nd for a cruise. I was 155. Had an awesome time. I attempted to reach my 15 drink limit every night (lol- don't judge me) Came back Saturday April 9th ....WTF!!!! 168. Up 13lbs in a week?? I almost cried. :cold_sweat: but here it is Tuesday and I weighed 159 this morning. Now…

Yes portions are hard. so you have to get lower calorie foods. Cutting back the soda is a good start. i try not to drink back my calories if I can help it. Low calorie bread whole wheat spaghetti ground turkey instead of beef. I eat foods I like still just alternate for something of lesser calories.

Your body is adjusting to a new exercise routine. It fluctuates because of things such as shifting water and protein to your muscles to repair and for recovery. Normal stuff. You'll level out. Make sure you are drinking a lot too!

Stick with this and I promise there will be a time when that will not phase you anymore! My husband does that alot, before I used to be fire hot, now it's like whatever. I used to hide when i used to workout at home so he didn't say anything but now I just do it, he comes home sees me exercising and and leaves me be until…
