Yeah some days I randomly burn a ton of calories, and I will also take a day off and burn nothing over my base living cals.... that's why I just put light exercise because it was also on a BODY BUILDING website so I imagine "moderate" and "strenuous" are MUCH more active than MY "moderate" level. lol. My workout looks like…

Lol, oh man, that was just an example! I just wanted easy numbers to work with.... So then you mean, if my TDEE is 2000 and I burn (TODAY, because every day is different for me) 1500, I should consume 3500??? When I hear "TDEE includes exercise" does that mean I eat my MFP exercise cals? Or do I ignore my exercise cals and…

my rates have easily been in the 170-190 range which is at my aerobic and even close to anaerobic range for me. so thats a good thing, right? and I noticed power walking is in the 150-170 range with is the "fat burning" range more-so

I get the kind of a workout (exactly what you said, gasping and jelly legs, lol) on the elliptical with a higher resistance. I do that at least 3 times a week on top of my usual other gym routines.

perfect link for what i needed to know! Thanks! I added it to my blog with the source link to keep for later if i forget.

Yay!! Thanks for the add :)

Yes, its perfectly fine. I work two days a week (stay home with my son) so my days off work are the days that I make it to the gym. Then the 2 days that I work are my days off the gym. I also alternate workouts. I do weights every other day and cardio everyday. Muscles need time to heal to prevent injuries.

both exercising and eating better. I have lost 2 inches this year in my chest, natural waist, belly, and hips. My weight hasn't changed much though, but I am building muscle.

ohh, thats tough. I get the most out of aerobics classes , but even then its only around 350 for an hour. OR, actually, on the elliptical i could burn 700 in an hour (with it set to 10 resistance, makes a huge difference)... but i never make it past 30 minutes. lol

I saw this in a thread somewhere! in one of the main sections there's a sticky post the syas something like "newbies, read this first" and then in there it has a link about this topic in particular. I *believe* they said you'll possibly gain 5-10lbs and it'll take 4 weeks or so to start dropping weight again. i know it's…

haha! I have about 5 boxes of "skinny clothes" as well.... small shirts and size 5-7 jeans.... i too plan to give them away... at least the jeans... i dont think i could fit into them again anyway when I'm done. They were from my teenage years and I have mom hips now. :p but the shirt I'd love to fit into again

Weekly Goal: at least 3,500 MON: hiking, stretching, walking 4.0, zumba, elliptical, weights:....................... 1,241 TUES: walking, yard work, yoga, elliptical: ..............................................................678 WED: hiking, piloga, zumba, walking,…

I wouldn't say it changed with weight loss, no.... but i would definitely say I have lived a life with serious body issues. I've been working on changing that since my son was born and I felt the worst about my body..... I would say I feel better about myself today at 24 and 166lbs than I did when I was 18 at 115lbs. I'm…

okay yeah, this is me. lol

I also agree, any comment is a helpful comment. even the people who I know say "good job" to everyone.... it still helps me when I get that comment.

it depends. it mostly helps me add to the list of foods that are healthy options. Lets me see things I may not have thought of eating.... options of more variety. I like to look at other people's diaries who are already in good shape. lol. Obviously it's working, right? haha. So those are motivational.

this. Anything in those magazines you can find on google... and probably more accurate/diverse information on the internet as well. I wouldn't waste my money on magazines telling me my workout gear isn't cute enough and having only 2-3 pages of actual useful information

I don't have a date set but I too am getting in shape for my future wedding which will be coming within the next few years. I have a son with the man I plan to marry and we're just so busy with work AND school that we don't want to also take on a wedding plan... just no time.... but he's almost done with school and has…

I like that too.... i also never wore dresses in the past because I hated the way I looked with so much skin showing. :( But hiking is awesome!! I love it and plan to start doing more of it very soon. It's fantastic whole-body exercise. My BF and I have a pair of friends whom we go on a big hike with once a year in the…

thats awesome! Yeah when I had to re-do my photo for the first time, I was pregnant and bloated. lol. It was awful. then I did it again shortly after having my son. I hope to look awesome in my next photo as well :)

lol damnit I just made a post about this and didnt see this already long-running one. Sorry! My Reward is a bikini. I hope to have made great progress by summer so it fits the timeline. I've actually NEVER worn a bikini so this would be a huge reward for myself. I was always too insecure in the past. (even when I was…

added everyone on here! feel free to add me, i seriously need all the social support I can get.

My goal is set to 30-something but I'm actually not sure about that because I plan on toning up and adding muscle... so I don't know exactly what I will weigh when I get to the body I want. Basically I plan on losing anywhere from 20-35lbs. lol. Wide range, i know. I'm 166 (at 5'9") now if that helps make sense.

Hi, I'm 5'9", currently 166.8lbs, looking to get down to around 130-140, not sure yet. I'll find out when I hit 140. haha.

there's these two teenage girls that hang out at the gym at the same time I go. They often sit on machines for a very long time, doing very little exercise and mostly texting and gossiping. It wouldn't be a big deal except they're on the machines the place happens to only have one-of-each of. They have about 100 treadmills…
