When I am tracking calories burned, I rely solely on my HRM. I don't use the gym equipment to keep track of my calories. I use MFP for the sake of tracking my exercises, not necessarily to track calories burned. Thinking of picking up my HRM again, but I have at times worried too much about my caloric burn that my overall…

Good question Also keep in mind that quality is important when it comes to eating as well. Are you eating mostly unprocessed foods and unrefined carbs? That's what I keep reminding myself whenever the 'calorie' question comes to mind. In a nutshell, sometimes quality is better than quantity.

Oh how Fantabulous ... 4 Lbs in two weeks ... that's wonderful! What a great way to make a come back ... most people would've given up but you chose to hang in there and remain strong. So proud of you :) Eye on the tiger!

'06 BMW 325i - love it Aiming for a 335 X6 if I can get away with it ;) One day! Landrover ? Oh, how I love cars :)

You look great and oh soooo healthy. Yay for you! Thanks for sharing and may God continue to bless you ...

And then there was silence :(

wow, that was quick ... Yes, I am with you on this one. I hope others are interested as well ... I am not weighing is but the group motivates me to keep moving and watch my eating intake ... Also, the holidays are coming and, yikes, we know what it's like ... I don't want to be one of those who gain 20 lbs by January.

I had a great food day yesterday :) Yay!

2300 calorie burn for mua

Sooo, how did it go? Are you okay?

LOL @ not waiting for the anniversary to eat the cake. FYI though, mine tasted even better after being in the freezer for a year ... it was sooo good ... sounds like yours was yummi as well ;) Fun!

I had the most amazing weekend. We went to NYC and got to visit the hubby's twin brother (I had forgotten how much they look alike), some of my family members and other friends. My second cousin was celebrating her 50th birthday and what a birthday bash it was ... I had a blast. One thing about Dominicans, they live in the…

Congrats! Great job! Changing your goal sounds reasonable ... weight loss tends to slow down a bit as you get closer to your goal weight ...

Working on burning 2500 calories this week! Also, I've not been logging in as much because I've been having migraines so I tend to stay away from anything that's brights. That, my friends, can be quite a challenge when you are an IT specialist :) Will send a pic of my fantabulous weekend in Canada. Love you all ... I can't…

How Fantabulous! You are going to love it ... it's one of my favorite places to visit. Yay! Congrats and may you share many more years ...

Hello Hotties! I am back in t he game. Sorry for not keeping you in the loop, first I got sick and then I had a mini-vacation/wedding to go to in Canada. We had a fantabulous time! I was the maid of honor and was able to fit in my dress, phew! That was a close call but the hard work payed off. Now back to tracking! I got a…

Burn for the week = 2150 Should be back on the track this week. Both hubby and I got sick this week, but I managed to get a work out yesterday when we went to Kings Dominion. Fun, but exhausting. All the shacking and rattling got the best of me and I slept for more than 10 hours last night. I haven't done that in a very…

Awesome! FAN-TABU-LOUS!!!

Calorie burn for last week = 3450 Just got back from a mini vacation :) We went to water country and busch gardens in Williamsburg, VA. Sooo much fun BUT lousy food. Went to Lebanese Tavern for the first time (had never had Lebanese food) and the food was just delish. I almost licked my toes ;) It was awesome. It felt good…

Forgot to talk about this weekend: I feel good about my 'performance' this weekend. Saturday was a bit rough as far as food choices is concerned. We went to an international potluck and the food there was not all that great, so ended up nibling all afternoon looking for something that I did like. Not a great scenario to be…

I agree! I too I'm digging the smaller groups. It's easier to know who said what and when :) Burn for the week was 2543 ... looking forward to seeing our profress on the map.

I know what you mean. Vacation can be quite hard, specially when visiting loved ones. I think it's part of everyone's culture: taking the time to prepare a meal for others is a sign of appreciation and love. We just need to learn how to show our love for others in other ways. Don't be upset about your food choices (though…

Yay! awesome job!

Hello hotties, This has been quite the victorious week. I've been struggling with back pain, but managed to work out regardless. Monday was interesting: went to the gym to try out the aqua class, got there and the entire aquatics department was closed due to lightning. Who knew lightning can go through glass? I sure…

The 50's ... awww how awesome for you. Congrats! I pray you survive the weekend :) Sounds like it's going to be a blast ...

Single digits ... great job! :)

Great job! Way to go!

Burned 2425 calories this past week. Need to free up my weekends and squeeze in some work outs ... had a blast this weeknd though. Had some of my bridal pics taken this weekend so I got to experience it all over again - background: mom was late 2 hours for my wedding, so we had to get ready without her. I don't have any…

What an awesome advise. I agree with you 100%. Caroline, you are in my thoughts and prayers ... hope you are able to find balance soon. Enjoy a restful weekend.

@ Lorraine, you are in my thoughts and prayers. @ Kerri and Robin = I've been reading up on the 'paleo' diet and find it to be quite interesting. Not eating procesed foods is definitely theh way to goo. I cannot follow it to the T because I don't eat meat, but the concept is fantastic. Carbs are my comfort food so staying…
