c25k! I am on wk 6 and haven't given up! (although a little behind this week due to blizzard all weekend). Also it's not really a NSV, but I ordered a running bra which means I plan to continue running after c25k! :)
-
I agree! Take pics right now and compare them to your heavier pics (if you have any) and also keep taking pics.
-
I just ordered this one! (the real one, not the knock off). Will report back once I get it/try it :) fingers are crossed!
-
Unfortunately women don't stop at DD! I wish North American stores realised this :(
-
this is my issue at the moment! I am wearing a Freya Active but it sucks for running. It's uncomfortable when running, the bounce is annoying, and I think running is actually running the bra cause it doesn't have as much "lift" as it did a few months back. I am looking at the Shock Absorber Ultimate Run bra, anyone have…

I would suggest that you start by eating your exercise calories (min you should net is 1200 cal) and hide the scale for at least 4 weeks. If you feel you must keep track, then take progress pics and measurements :) You might think that this won't help, but I think you will be surprised! There are many threads on here that…
-
I would NOT decrease your cals, you seem to be very active! :) However what I would do, would be to take some progress pics and measurements and use those instead of focusing on the scale as much :)
-
yup!! I increased my cal to net 1700 in Jan 2013 and then to net 1900 a few months later, then I hit maintenance in August so my maintenance goal was net 2100 cal. (I recently dropped back down to 1900 though cause I gained a few lbs last semester when I stopped logging, will increase to maintenance goal again soon).…
-
I vote that you up your calories! :) 1500 is actually supposed to be the minimum recommended for a male (1200 for a female). I would increase to at least 1500 AND eat exercise calories if I were you :) This WILL give you more energy to keep going and will make you less likely to give up. Plus you will still lose weight!!…
-
You can't spot reduce.... sorry to be the one to say it :( It sounds like you are pear shaped and when you lose weight, you will probably still be pear shaped. But you know what, that's perfectly fine! :) Everyone has parts they are self conscious about and parts they enjoy about their body. Focus on the parts you like and…

I live in Canada but you can add me as a friend if you would like :) I have friends from all over the world on here

if it's your first gym, I would not commit to 2 years just yet. you may realise a few months down the road that the other gym is more suited to you (equipment, atmosphere, or whatever) and want to switch. I'm not huge on contracts :P
-
I always bring my water bottle with me, never seen a gym that made you leave it in the locker room. some gyms also have a water fountain but I find I need a lot of water so I don't want to get up every 5 min to walk to the fountain :P
-
no not really. Wear what makes you feel comfortable :) Just wear a comfortable shirt and shorts or pants. Something flexible, comfortable, and that you can breath in. Most women these days wear Lululemon however I'm too cheap for that!! And if you have a bunch to lose, you may go through a few outfits so I find cheaper is…
-
just listen to the trainer and they can show you a lot about the machines and equipment and how to use it :) If you ever forget or want to try a new machine and the trainer is not there, just go ask a staff member for help :) Don't worry, most people are paying more attention to themselves than to other people so don't…

You must have a better Target in your city or maybe you live in the US? In Canada many of us were excited for Target to open! However from the beginning they have had huge shelving issues and most of the time their shelves are bare :/ Was going to buy some spaghetti sauce there cause it was on sale, but every time I looked…

it's 2014, if you want a tattoo then go get one! :) My fiancé isn't big on tattoos, so he doesn't get tattoos. I have 3 and I'll probably get more. I don't think they are life changing at all. However, if you are simply getting a tattoo to shock people, I don't know if it is your best plan. A tattoo should be something for…
-
That's excellent news!!! :D I've read a few of your posts before so it's very exciting that this day is finally here! You should be very pleased with how far you have come :) Hope you enjoy those knees for many more years; swim, dance, whatever makes you happy :)
-
May I suggest nuts? :)
-
you are doing excellent!! Don't focus on how much is left, focus on how much you have already accomplished!! :) You've done a month of making healthy decisions and you have already lost 13 lbs!! :D Remember you didn't gain it in day, you won't lose it in a day. These things take time but it is worth it and you need to tell…
-
I think you should focus on making healthy choices that you can maintain overtime :) This is why many people suggest only losing up to 2 lbs/wk. A lot of people want to lose weight quickly, but when you lose it more slowly you can teach your body about portion control and form healthy habits. I know losing weight is…

A trick I learned: if you want to go out and have fun but you don't want to drink, the best solution is to always have a drink in your hand! Seriously. Order a diet coke (discretly) and then whenever someone asks you if you need a drink say "no thanks I am good" and take a drink. They will move on :) They will simply…

Sorry you are sensitive about your hips, was just trying to be helpful to OP and answer her question. Sorry OP that this has been derailed. Unfortunately there isn't much out there about inverted triangles but we do exist! :)
-
I was just making a joke! lol... wow. You don't seriously think I gain my confidence from small hips do you? lol.
-
You sound similar to my measurements: bust 36.5, waist 27, hips 34. I consider myself inverted triangle :) Some online calculators will say apple, banana, or hourglass though.... so really we are one of those weird shapes that don't totally fit in to the 'norm'. It's okay though, who wants to be normal :P The definition…
-
If you are hungry, then eat girl! And don't feel guilty about going over 1200! :) Remember that food is fuel for your body so if your body is hungry, then grab something small (like an apple) and eat. If you are still hungry, eat something else. I really think you should check out:…
-
OP: I was the same with going out for wings. We used to go out once or twice a week and had to cut back a lot :( But that doesn't mean I am going to give it up completely, just eat there less often and smaller portions :) There are ways to make smart choices. Many restaurants even have nutritional information posted online…
-
You did all that exercise, you shouldn't be worried about what one meal! Also, seemed like you had a huge calorie deficit so honestly I wouldn't be worried at all!
-
May I suggest you check out: http://scoobysworkshop.com/accurate-calorie-calculator/ When I first started it had me set as 1200 in the beginning as well but it was too low for me :( try that link and see what you get :)
-
I guess the difference is we are used to it so everyone has winter tires, cloths, etc.... but the roads around here still suck! I live on a hill so I often just slide down on icy days :P all I can say, is dress in layers and keep your feet, hands, and head warm and you will be fine :) Oh and enjoy the snow while you can!…
