Thank you for the awesome responses guys! Going to revamp my weekly routine now with all these great resources. to whoever suggested kettle bells- I would love to BUT i have no gym and no weights...had resistance bands but I broke the handles :tongue: such is the life when you're abroad for only a year, and you use all…

Good to hear! Any specific recommendations? I've been doing assisted pull-ups, chin-ups, push-ups, dips, inverted rows an bodyweight squats...are those difficult enough? I feel like with some (all but pullups /chin-ups) I can reach 10 rep too easily?

I *think* build muscle. I don't think I need to reduce body fat, but if I want muscle to show do I need o go through the whole "cut and bulk" process? My other problem is I'm gymless (not to mention fundless) and therefore have no dumbbells/heaving lifting equipment available 'till at least June... So it's all gotta be…

ME! well, I haven't been as of late, since I've been living abroad but missing it dearlyy :( I dabbled in a bit of h/j and eventing.

I checked with a BMI calculator, and I'm still in the normal range. However the TDEE calculator I used (Scooby) previously now says I'm underweight... I'm comfortable with where I am, but I would still like to muscle up. Are any of you at the end of your weightlos but still trying to tone up? how did that affect your…

Not sure about worst binge ever, but my last bad one since i started counting was like; - 2 slices of pizza - a bunch of pickles - a large bowl of special K chocolate cereal - 6 squares of jeff de bruges chocolate - half a milka bar - a large square of Lindt chocolate - half a sleeve of butter cookies - 3 HUGE spoonfuls of…

They lived in the US for several years previously, and the mom's recipe books are mostly american- they just don't have a lot of time for more complicated dished sometimes! Also not necessarily looking to go low carb- just less carb... and because I'm tired of pasta and rice, and I'm allowed to mix it up once a week!

Hey, another islander here, but from PEI! I'm not living at home right now though, and totally missing the maritimes! I'm adding you!

I have the same problem, tried allowing myself a little bit of whatever i was craving every day, but once I start, I really can't stop...So: keep BUSY. Instead of eating out of boredom, do something. That todo list? Do that instead of opening the snack cupboard. And stay mentally present. Before you reach for whatever…

PEI, Canada, now live in Paris, France

Feel free to add me! I'm a (kind of) runner, and only about 5lbs away from my goal :)

Thanks guys, I'm already feeling better about it- it's one binge and it's just some chocolate. Life goes on, I'll go on my usual run tomorrow and destress and forget about it. I figure, this time, in a way it was how I coped with a bad day. Next time, I will know what to expect and will find a better way to cope with the…

of course!!

Does it hurt to walk? Obviously it's not nearly as high impact, but try and walk more for the week- park farther away, get off the bus a stop earlier, walk to school/work, carry your groceries, take the stairs...you get the idea.

I love love love love hot yoga- I practice moksha yoga when I'm living at home, and have a studio nearby. I've never practiced bikram, but from the people I've talked to who have done both, they almost always prefer moksha. I love it because it has everything I need- great for toning, flexibility, mental relaxation, and…

5'7'' SW:142 CW: probably around 135/6 but have no access to a scale! GW: 130 (but generally just being more toned and feeling stronger- doesn't bother me much what the scale says) 19 years old Lost first 5 llbs with 30DS, hot yoga, and running I would do the 30 DS (25 mins), and then go straight to my yoga class (60-90…

Peanut/all nutt butters= nectar of the Gods

I've probably been drinking sliiiightly more coffee lately- black though. it's at the temples, like i've got a metal band around my head.

Hey! I'm living in France right now, and was living in Spain last year- I feel ya' on the carb heavy- Spain was a pasta/bread/rice nightmare. And France is all cheese and full fat milks and creams. Do you guys have Carrefour as a supermarket there? It often has a "bio" section- the closest thing you can get to a whole…

I usually just hit my lows during the day- had a killer workout yesterday for example and was tired during the day, but today i was zonked through the workout (skipped bonus round) and later on too. I'm averaging about 19/20% protein intake right now, vs 50% carbs, and the rest fat.

Hm, okay... I'm just confused- I just finished logging for today and i'm like stuuuufffed, but it says I still have another 300 or so cals left- if I were to eat back all of my exercise cals. I feel like I should be eating more based on a program like P90X and what MFP is telling me, but I feel stuffed....

Forgot to add that those left over calories are after exercise- i eat back usually about half of my exercise calories. Is that still to little? I've been trying to judge it too on how I feel- sometimes I feel stuffed but MFP is saying I should be eating more....

I'm currently set to 1 lb a week- trying to lose 10 lbs in two months (the time it took me to gain it...hah)
