Initially, I didn't set a time frame, and instead set mini weight goals. I always work toward losing 5lb incriminates. Now that I'm only 7.4 lbs from my ultimate weight goal, I hope I'll hit it by my 30th birthday in March. More importantly, I want to tone and define my body, and if the scale doesn't match the number I…

^This. I know 2 people who used it with awesome results. In two months of trying to eat regular food again, each of them have gained 50-60 lbs back. I'm sure they both went back to their old eating habits instead of even attempting smart food choices and portion control though. I hope it works for you! It'd be awesome to…

What I did was TRX, so I wasn't sitting or lying down. Should I still not log something like that as cardio?

Really?! Thanks! I had no idea.

Why? Seriously, I've just started strength training and am still learning. I don't eat back my calories, so why does it matter if I watch calories burned?

I did strength training the other day and logged it under cardio. I was surprised that MFP only calculated that I burned 102 calories, when my HRM said I burned 316. Typically, I feel like MFP overestimates calories burned, but that wasn't true for my strength training entry.

My husband says he knew he was going to marry me from the first day we met. It took him 3 months to convince me to go on a date with him! Glad I did! Moved in together after six months. We've been married for 8 years and together for almost 11 years now.

You just described my husband. (Except for the spikey hair). Lol! Funny thing is I wasn't out looking for someone like this, he just fell into my lap, and I lucked out! Turn on for me: When he surprises me out of the blue to let me know he was thinking about me. His smell. The way he REALLY focuses on me when I talk, like…

I agree! I was having problems with my arches burning during high impact aerobics, so went and got professionally fitted. Shocked to find I had previously been wearing the wrong type of shoe for my gait AND the wrong size. I bought Brooks shoes from them and love them so much I went and bought a second pair for everyday.…

If you stop drinking your calories, you'll have more left over for food. I never drink juice or soda, especially regular soda. Increase protein and vegetables to feel full longer.

My fitness instructor just said, "A 60 minute workout is only 4% of your day. No excuses." What I do is give up an hour of TV time in the evening and go workout. Sometimes it even has to wait until my kids are in bed, but I still do it.

I have the same issue. Huge sweet tooth. I try to avoid sweets totally lately, but when I do have some, I'll preportion a small amount out, then WALK AWAY from the package of whatever it is. If it's in front of me, I'll eat it. A friend of mine replaces her sweet cravings with watermelon or grapes.

To maintain my weight I'm only supposed to eat around 1400 calories per day, to lose I can only eat 1200. Women should never eat less than 1200 per day, or your body may go into starvation mode and quit burning and just store everything you take in. I typically do not eat back much of what I have burned exercising though,…
