The last two are the best and I think would work well for you. Please please please stay away from "the Beckham".

Troll.... or stupid.

That's the best, congratulations! Good luck on the competition! I won one a couple years ago and received my gym membership free for a year!

I have several tattoos and have lost a lot of weight. They got smaller but not distorted.

I just get back to my normal eating & exercise pattern. I try to focus more on preventing binges: I realized if I don't eat my exercise calories after a few days, I will binge. Its like my body just reaches a point that it is going to get the calories in massive amounts in any way it can. I eat six small meals a day to…

Could not have said it better. I eat them because if I don't I tend to binge after a few days... like my body is craving calories and at that point there is no control in how its going to get them. Besides, I believe slower weight loss is better. It would be nice to just get it off but I really want to keep it off and it…

May sound harsh but this is the bottom line. My husband did not support my weight loss at all. He likes his girls big. He would do things like bring home almond croissants that I love or take out from our favorite restaurant. It took me a while but I simply stopped eating it... instead of eating it because he would kind of…

I have no idea why. You are lucky..the difference between my Hrm & most cardio equipment is usually at least 200 calories.

football lineman with an elephant penis. There's an image for ya.

I hate to be predictable but you are eating way too few calories... 1200 even without exercise is low and 1000 is starving yourself. I don't know how you did your calculations but they are off. No wonder you are cheating... your body is telling you its hungry!! Minimally I eat almost 1700 and I weigh less than you. When I…

I must eat. That is all.

WTF??? Tongue in cheek generally has an element of cleverness. This is mindless and irritating. Whatever point the OP was trying to make was lost.

I eat my exercise calories back. If I don't then I will binge after a few days and I would rather eat healthy consistently and lose at a slower pace rather than do this up & down, back & forth pattern. Honestly you have to figure out what works for you. Should at least eat your minimum... with high calorie "good" food like…

Well to be honest... if you give up then yes, you will always be this size ...or get bigger again. There is a lot of good advice given.. do a process of trial and error. Pick one thing you think may help and commit to doing that at least one month, preferably two. If it doesn't help try something else. The other thing I…

I am one of those people who honestly feel great after a workout. It wasn't always that way, when I first started workouts were just draining. I don't know what happened to change how it affects me other than I am so much stronger and healthier now. My reccomendations would be: - get enough sleep. If you are tired, working…

Excellent job. And I've been at this for 5 years, not where I ultimately would like to be but it doesn't matter because I'm infinitely better off than where I was. Keep plugging away!

Neither.... now. Oh to be young again.

I'm gonna do the 30 min diet cause I can eat healthy 30 min a day and follow that up with the kegels. I bet I can get a good burn doing them super fast. And when I lose all my weight, become toned in one week I'm going to be a star on Dr. Oz.

Eat less, move more. I don't worry about macros, gluten, clean eating, avoiding red meat, eating vegan, colon cleansing, intermittent fasting, supplements that spur weight loss (I guess the latest is black coffee extract - why not just drink coffee?), what Dr. Oz has to say, and whatever other fad, trend, voodoo, etc is…

Broke the bench in the handicap shower stall. Sucker pulled right out of the wall... I pulled the curtain and rod down on top of me. One big naked, wet heap. It was my first day at a new gym.. I have broken a few chairs in my day but by this point I had already lost 200 lbs so I was't outrageously big anymore. I was using…

Definitely GO YOU! I've been struggling to get under 200 for a year... it will be this year. You are awesome!

This thread was worth checking out because of this... laughed my special butt off and expended special calories at the same time. Yea - cause I'm that special.

This is what my trainer recommended: Day1: steady (challenging pace) on chosen cardio machine for at leat 30 min Day 2: roate to different machines every 15 minutes (30 to 60 minutes); ie treadmill, then elliptcal, then stair climber, then ARC) Day 3: Interval training for 30 minutes. One minute a normal, slightly…

Try to keep your heels down, don't stay on your toes. If it continues try reducing the resistance or alternating going forward and reverse.

Way too much exercise and very poor nutrition. Eat breakfast and stay away from Checkers, to start. You are not starting a path to a lasting healthy lifestyle.

Funniest... Doritos, both of them. Cleverest .... Tacobell. M&M's a close second. Yummiest... Calvin Klien...oooooh baby!!!!

Lol, billsica... by no means an expert and stiil have those moments of doubt, oh crap I'm doing it wrong. You hear so much about giving your body a chance to rest... and I think that is mostly why I do 5, take a day off. And I know even if I go tomorrow, I won't skip Monday because Tuesday I will be on the road so won't be…

I know how you feel, I have gone and binged on junk foods while losing weight more times than I can count. And to some people what you ate was outrageous... but I know its possible and even more. The biggest thing is don't keep the junk in the house. If you don't buy it you cannot eat it. That doesn't mean you won't binge…
