It is syncing on my end. Make sure you download the latest iOS if you have Apple. What kind of phone are you using?

Hi Tina, I am 5'4 135 and want to get down to 125 and re-evaluate as well. I am also in the same boat as you as far as eating. That is my BIGGEST problem. I LOVE working out and being active but I .love to eat! Keeping my calories under is a consistent issue for me. In the last few weeks, I have tried a diet pill and it…

Wow! I am just reading all the logs now and want to thank everyone for their great advice. It seems as if we live almost completely separate lives and not sure how I feel about this. He works night shift and I work day shift (well from home most day so I do see him). But seems he never wants to do anything at all. We will…

My sister pays her nanny $400 per week. It costs more than day care, but I don't think it is a position that is an hourly rate, rather a salary or flat weekly rate. Keep us posted! I'm curious as to what a Nanny makes. I am sure it depends also on the age of the children; newborns require more attention than older…

What station or channel on OnDemand?

Personally, I think you should stick with MFP and calorie counting if you are not purging anymore. working out 4-6 days a week is healthy if you are eating enough calories and trying to stick to healthy options for at least most of the time. I think it is a healthy obsession verses your old lifestyle of surviving on diet…

When I was successful at losing 30lbs in the past, I followed the kid's meal rule as well. I didn't completely ban anything and if my hubby or a friend wanted to go to McD, I would always just order a kids meal. It is a great idea, so you don't feel like you are missing out. As of late, I haven't done, it so thanks for the…

I think it's a great idea as I have heard that works. Those 900 days will be tough though! I know for me, as it is so hard to stick to 1200 each day without going over. GOOD LUCK and keep us posted on your progress with it!

There are a couple pretty cool youtube videos on Bokwa Fitness

I think you may be right regarding the Zumba class I took. There wasn't any instruction at all. The instructor just did her thing in the front of the class and we had to follow along. It was a very large class, probably 50 students.

Here is a link to what I think will become the new fitness craze: Bokwa Fitness. It's relatively new, just popping up in the last 6 months or so. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASTA4ooPkLk

Anyone at all??? :)

I think going to school is great! But personally, I would wait until I was closer to goal. That way you do have real life experience and while going to school, you can really tone and perfect your body. Personally, I wouldn't have an overweight person as a trainer and I think that would be the general consensus. Not to be…

I use a Suunto M5 heart rate monitor and LOVE it! It is the only way you can get an accurate burn.

Great info to get out there! I am glad you posted :) I just recently started strength and weight training in the last month and have already seen AMAZING differences in my body! I love it and it seems I can eat more and my body burns more now that I have more lean muscle mass. I have read countless articles about the…

Here is a website that gives you an idea of what your ideal weight should be: http://www.halls.md/ideal-weight/body.htm It depends on age, height, and frame size. I am 5'3 and would like to weigh between 115-125.

I use this calclator to calculate how many calories I am allowed. It is around 1600 to maintain, although I am not at my goal weight now. I will also eat back my exercise calories, so will be allowed to have approx 1900 per day if I burn 300 calories working out. I clicked "sedentary" since I sit at a desk for 8 hours a…

In talking to the trainer at the gym, he says it is perfectly normal. Here is an article with some helfpul tips: http://ezinearticles.com/?Elliptical-Trainer-Sleepy-Foot-Syndrome&id=78854

Grilled salmon and green salad would be the best choices!

Eating 1200 calories and doing no exercise, you will lose a minimum of 1lb per week. The closer you are to goal, the slower you should lose as you should never go under 1200 and you should eat your exercise calories. For me at 134, my maintenance calories are at 1700 with no exercise, I should be able to maintain. I eat my…

I feel like this often too, lucky for me, I have some cardio equipment at home. I basically FORCE myself to do it at the end of the day. About 1/2 way through I want to quit, but then when I am 75% through I am GLAD and actually have more energy at that point. Just push yourself to do it so it becomes like a natural habit…

What do you mean the starvation mode is no longer? Are you eating back your exercise calories?

What gym do you belong to? I've honestly never heard of a dress code at a gym before. But I can see how a bikini would/should be banned, but people should just have common sense!

If you click on Exercise and choose Cardiovascular, there is an option for Yoga. The best way to calculate burn is to use a HRM, but there is an option for it on here as well. I just entered 1 hour yoga and it said 153 calories burned.

How many calories would you estimate are in a piece of filet mignon? I'm wondering if I should take half of my meal home. The menu doesn't show the number of ounces as so many other restaurants do.

It's on the pricey end, but a Vitamix 5200! Has a full 7 year warranty but will probably easily last you 20! It is AMAZING!

Also don't worry about eating late at night. I eat late every night. It is just a myth that you shouldn't eat late at night. As long as you stay within your calorie range you will be fine. You should definitely eat some protein after a hard workout.

Sugar free jello! One serving is only 5 calories.

Awesome! Good for you for recognizing your trigger and finding a solution! For me, I can't keep sweets in the house as I lose all control for willpower. This is a great step! You CAN do this!!!

Love Italian dressing marinades on chicken!
