I like to walk outside; I like to go to some place pretty like the park. The nature trails are my favorite. It's a very peaceful way to exercise; plus I don't get bored like I do on the treadmill. :)

Yes! It's not a problem for me... use it to your advantage to cut calories, and/or eat later in the evening when you have calories left to get up to your target.

I'm 5'5", 140 was my original goal weight but I like it better at my current 133; start lifting weights and you will keep your curves :)

THE TITLE OF THIS THREAD SAYS IT ALL

yes! It happens to me almost every time. I get very tired and working out is harder. But good job on doing it anyway... I usually feel better in the cramp and mood department if I don't skip during that time.

I hate cardio, try lifting weights!

happy because she's so pretty. woooot

TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY. YAAAAAA

run around in the woods anyway, just don't shoot things. easy. :P

Personally I don't think it affects anything unless you aren't responsible with it, same as anything else

I started out w almost the same stats as you, maybe this will help motivate. others in this thread gave you great advice. good luck!! http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/833901-2-5-years-lost-40lbs-gained-life

Yes

I love it, I would be too scared to try that on my own... how did you learn?

hahahahaha i needed that. thanks.

I usually get soup to fill me up, EVEN THOUGH it is high in sodium and will make u bloat later, it will still fill you up with lower calories... then most places actually have a "diet menu" or a dish that is plain chicken w broccoli and you can ask them to hold the sauce on the side. good luck!

what do you eat in a normal day? have you tried logging with your regular eating habits and counting it? I am sure it is way above 1700 calories, because that is not all that much, I could eat that easily. My target is 1600 per day and you have 3 inches and 20 lbs on me (so you require more calories just to maintain…

I like the extreme milk chocolate alraedy mentioned too, however if you buy that one plus their banana cream and mix about 1/3rd choc to 2/3 banana you will get a GODLY shake.

LOL I had no trouble with it until I looked down at my leg to see if it was still going right. Then it spazzed.

Walk brisky, count it as your warm up and warm down. Definitely worth it!

after lots of procrastination and excuses and trying things on my own, I joined a gym. I really didn't know what I was doing, trying to use free weights at home. I take a group weight lifting class and honestly its the best thing ever. I was taught the lifts, form, safety, warm up, and doing it with other people makes it…

I seem to burn way more now because I have lean muscle mass that requires calories even when I'm not exercising. plus I just feel strong, so I enjoy working out more than I used to, so I do more of it including aerobic stuff.

did cardio, lost some weight, was tough to keep up, plateaued a lot, started lifting weights and the rest came off plus now I can eat more.

I love shirataki noodles. They taste a little funny. You need to boil them as per the directions and then pat them very dry. I got used to the taste very quick. Especially since it means I can have a whole plate of pasta w any kind of creamy sauce and even lots of chicken and veg and it won't break the bank.

because he loves captain america @above No effing clue..

omg that is winbox.

I have heard quite a bit on this recently. Apparently the microwave degrades the nutrients in the food in some way. I have no idea if this is accurate or not. Reliable research has been scarce... I take my vitamins and don't worry about it. But just in case, I try not to stare through the window while it's cooking. :happy:
