Hey all! Well, as far as the star challenge goes I think I am without a star again this week. Per logging I was only over about 500 cals but I know I wasnt 100% accurate all week and could have easily missed 100-200 cals per day. I have been back on the exercise and good logging though. We came to Germany with 9 suitcases…

Hey Shanaber- I was just about to post on your wall asking how your foot was doing and stopped by this forum. That sounds kind of serious! Im sorry... eta on time for improvement? Ris- Thanks for your encouragements and tips. I really am flailing around to figure out what my whole deal is. But, yes, continuing to take…

Nice work everyone! Even you Amy! :) 1600 is not as bad it could be right? This trip has been a real ego check for me! Not working out like I had planned and too many stress binges. Good to see that I still have ways to go though, I was worried I was perfect! Ha! No star for me, as I knew earlier in the week, from a day of…

I second that, Better, nice post Beeps! Amy, that drink sounds yummy! When you get a second post the recipe, it would be a fun occasional cocktail for summer! For the first time in quite a while, I didnt even log yesterday. It was cookies, cookies, chocolate and more chocolate. I ate so much my stomach hurt and then I ate…

Hey All! Shander and Better, thanks for the encouraging words. The comparison game can get exhausting and of course benefits no one but sometimes it is nice to hear, "hey I am struggling too" or "you're not doing too bad!" :) I need to reassess my goals and set them out here so will do that soon. I will not have a platinum…

This is great info, thanks for taking the time to post!

Good Monday Morning! I hope everyone had a great week and was platinum star all the way! Beeps- You do such a great job articulating your goals and identifying what changes you want to make! CutMD- I am new to this group and have just been really benefiting from the little extra challenge to stay within cal goals. Sounds…

Amy- I love that "Platinum Star Style" :) Im writing it down for in my kitchen! Shanaber- Thanks for the encouragement. I hope so. Are your cal goals gross or net or halfy halfy? I hope you have a wonderful time with your daughter!

That sounds like a really great week Chloe! Congratulations, again, Amy on a fantastic run! I have a friend that encourages me to stay on track with the habit of logging even when at a buffet or picnic potluck by doing the best I can to log. It helps stay accountable and gives you a closer estimate of your week. Its…

Shan- I have a friend on MFP that absolutely loves Strong Curves and all the stuff by Bret Contreras. I have yet to actually purchase anything except NROLFW. I piecemeal stuff together, but I am really interested in Strong Curves. Could use more of that booty emphasis! I have had a slow week in my fitness world. Busy…

I am working on being 98.5% accurate! :) Or better. Changing a perspective of fear of judgement to one that it is my data that I need to know to see how I can improve... or more importantly, what is the max I can eat to maintain given level of exercise! Its all info baby!
-
Better- Those are some awesome prepped foods.. I hope your tummy is feeling better so you can enjoy them! Congrats on the platinum!!!
-
Glad you had fun, Beeps! Ramalem- I know I said this before, but I have alot of respect for your goals and continued fitness! Kelly- 88g of protein is wonderful. I am not hitting that and definitely need to. Shan- good grief! I see you run tons but had no idea it was 30 miles a week! Holy moly! You continue to inspire!…

Platinum star for me, I was 180 calories under for the week. I had a couple days over and 5 days under... I like this system of averaging for the week, it allows for some flexibility. I ran 14.25 miles this week in addition to strength work, HIIT and backpacking. Good week. We just got my 3 year old a push bike -no pedals…
-
Awesome post, Shan! Thanks! Hope everyone kills it on their weekend!!! :)

So, Im not sure the best answer to your question, but I have noticed the same thing. My obliques are strong and visible... however on me they look like "hard love handles"! Not the result I was looking for. Ive seen it mentioned before on body building websites but dont have a good answer. I think genetic predispositions…
-
Welcome InspireUFit! I hope you this group helps in your goals! Hey Amy, hoping this week is going better for you! I had a landslide yesterday but not as bad as in the past and if I curb cals by 100 a day through Sunday I can recoup for Platinum. I am getting my running in so I wont have it all in three days like last…
-
Thank you, Better, for doing the Star Chart! Funny how a little thing can be a great motivator. I know that was extra work for you. Amy, congrats on your jumping pull up! Off to bed so I stay within cals... :)
-
I guess my official star report is Platinum since within 100 cals. Onward and upward everybody! Its going to be a great week!

-
Great week Shanaber! I was 142 cals under for the week so I am happy about that... however I was way over yesterday. I didnt really plan for it and definitely had too many treats so I am feeling like yesterday was not the best. Even being a holiday for ME! :) I had planned to stay on track.... :) I got to 11 miles but left…

bumping, thanks everyone

pure awesome!

Hey ladies! I hope you all have a wonderful day for Mothers Day. The fun thing about staying on track during holidays is that it confirms to me that this is my *choice*. I am not punishing myself or imprisoned by my calorie choices- I am strong, empowered and even on holidays I want to stay on track to continue to be the…

Hey all, Happy Friday! Ramalem- just figured out by your post that you are expecting, huge congratulations and what amazing work to be continuing your great workouts! Amy- I got that ab workout PDFyou posted and read about half of it, looks great! I am adding leg lifts! I like Fitness Blender youtubes because they are free…

Good Morning all, its Tues am here and Im joining your 2 week challenge a little late... it looks like Monday is your normal check in day. I am excited about the new accountability this is giving me. I am good on cals for the past week (will be more specific next Monday) and workouts are OK as well. My goals will continue…

Good morning! Amy and Ris, I should add that my chin ups are not from a complete dead hang, I am working on that but have to keep a little bicep curl momentum to make it happen! Here is a video that gives some great tips, working with bands was really empowering for me~…

Thanks for the welcome, is it Amy? I would love to send a friend request your way. I am so stoked about you guys and your focus on strength and calorie accountability! I would LOVE to be dressing up for weddings this summer! I had two last summer, but none on the books for this one. I can do 3 sets of 3-4 chinups and 3…
