As you say, you don't need the validation of others :-) and how much better and fitter do you feel now this side of your journey? (On the plus side, chances are no one noticed you put the weight on either which was the case with my boyfriend).

Bloody marvellous :-D I know right? She's an absolute gem Fire 55 EZ done. Pretty much no stopping this time (WHOOOOOOO) but conclude I can't turbo barefoot anymore, my feet go numb, it's unpleasant. Was looking at some people's AMAZING before and after shots doing Ripped in 30, and day dreaming about how A my fitness and…

You don't want to be a little below your Basic Metabolic Rate, that's how many cals you need in a day for your body to do basic things like pumping blood through veins and breathing. What you want is to eat a little bit below your Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE). This way you can lose weight, Slowly, without feeling…

Totally Turboing today, Fire 55, it's been a few and I'm psyched :-D

My 2 cents, experiment. Up your cals a little, do it with healthy food. If you find you gain eating more make friends with exercise. You'll get the bonus benefits that come with exercising and the added nutrients that come with eating more food. It is win win :-)

When I'm flat like that I challenge myself to walking or yoga (not so keen on punishing my body, I want this exercising thing to be a forever thing). If I'm in good shape but just being lazy I think about how good the endorphins feel, and put on running shoes, seriously, they make a difference.

Overhaul my wardrobe so I'm not stuck with shabby worn out clothing to wear. It's bad enough that I'm quite overweight at the moment, doesn't mean I have to dress like a tramp.

sure looks like it (assumes animalrane means darkon)

Yesterday never happened but HIIT 15 and Sculpt 30 today. Done. BAM! Those of you who don't break a sweat doing Sculpt, please accept heaping mounds of my envy, can I say lactic acid BUUUUUUUUURN?!!!! (Also think you can make that harder with tighter resistance bands. Maybe mine are 'heavier' than the standard issue Turbo…

Helloooooo, sorry ive been mia, stressful busy working then just plain spent and a bit depressed. Tomorrow should be a good day for eating sensibly and there will be time a plenty to turbo. Im looking forward to it (though wont be surprised if im back to scratch aching legs wise) How are peope doing? Dye run idea is genius…

I don't see any body fat to lose.

*fist pump* Done, done, done, done, Done. Gonna eat everything in sight now :-D

Aw, NewLiz deactivated, would have totally friended you. other than that, something really rather touching that the other two responses are from familiar faces <3 Helloooooooooooooo

So, so, so, SOOOOO do not feel like doing that HIIT from yesterday. But I have a little under an hour and a half before I have to go back out again and dammit, I Am going to do it. (Am wearing running shoes, they do seem to put a spring in my step and make me feel like doing things, pity they're such a fashion fauxpas…

Washing is a pretty good bet, love is blind though. I dated a dirty punk for a while, he was sweet.

Ewww ewwww EWWWWWWWW *paws at eyeballs trying to scratch them out, wishes she could unread* These articles are rubbish, the advice is RUBBISH. Dating isn't a game, men aren't something you have to lure and catch. People make genuine connections with each other, sometimes there are mutual pantsfeelings and they become…

That early morning HIIT aint nothing but a pipe dream. I don't want exercising to take over my life again so I think this alright. I Will Turbo again tomorrow, and overall, my physical activity will be beneficially increased even if life makes me miss a day or few.

I'm with Cwolfman, ask not how much lighter you can become, but how strong are you? How much stronger can you be?

Yay, I'm not alone, was looking at day too of missed Turboing but see you two posting gave me the much needed kick do grit my teeth and do it. 1am in the morning, totally ready for bed. Body heavy, protesting, but I Did it. Not at a 10, or a 9 or an 8, probably ranging from 4 to 7 energywise but done none the less,…

From what I understood, you need reserves of fat for your body to convert into muscle, or something. So eat well, and train heavy.

Thanks for the responses, will try dumbells and or fists next time :-)

Still Turboing alone? Cmon Monday!!! :-D Core 20 and stretch 40 today. It sucks to commit such a big chunk of time to 'exercise' but muscles are good, and flexibility is even better. (And after a week of jumping up and down, my legs are so stiff).

Whatever you do diet and lifestyle-wise, your post makes me feel you need to work on body acceptance ASAP. It's hard to know without knowing your stats or seeing a picture but what you write makes me wonder if you might be affected by body dismorphia (and even if not, even if you are a little or a lot over weight and could…

I like to think of big boobs as being the One Good thing about being fat, the silver lining. I'll be happy to bid mine farewell if that means I can bend my body again. (And yeah, for the small breasted there is an endless supply of pushup bras, get a bra that fits and enhances ;-) )

I hope someone with concrete advice posts. Last time I was on here almost all of my 'friends' were 'ana' or 'mia' (young women, I guess they use mfp as an opportunity to friend collect and increase their chances of gaining psychological validation). One sentiment was overwhelming, people turn to disordered eating when they…

WHoooooooooo!!!!!!! Done, feel good, sore legs, and balls of my feet, maybe should wear sneakers instead of barefoot. Wonder if I have poor circulation OMGFG burnt 500 calories!!!!!!! I've Never burnt that much in one hit (guess I've never been this unfit or overweight - the silver lining to being unfit and over weight).

Feeling pretty bloody tired, gonna Turbo anyway. Fire 55 EZ today *grooooooooan*

Aussie here, don't need a gym to get fit :-D Add if you like

Weight loss isn't a race. What you are doing sounds like the right (and way more importantly, Sustainable) thing to do to me. Call them out on their rudeness and 'concern trolling' at your own discretion.

Today done, Fire30 and stretch 10. Feel fantastic, and burnt 384 calories (up side of extra weight, never used to burn that much). Very glad to be back in this. Also cool to know something equally fun exists for post Turbo working out :-D
