The 900 is a flag for me. I am actually a HUGE fan of modifying daily calories and my week tends to go like this (with my target at 1600, but I exercise a lot so I eat back half my exercise calories, and aim for about 1900. I have high/low days, I eat great foods with maybe 1 cheat meal a week and maybe an extra cheat…

I'm pretty sure you have to go to the gym 7 times a week to lose 28 lbs by then. in my first 2.5 months I lost 25 lbs, I go to the gym 7 days a week, I eat clean as possible - and I had 125 total to lose. Now I'm down almost 50 in 5 months so fairly consistant 10 lbs a month for me. Good luck, but honestly you've got to…

I've been wearing mine for 2-3 months and I still don't trust the numbers that tell me I burn 3500-4k a day (I do work out pretty intensely 6 days a week), so I could possibly burn that much. i still eat about 1600-2000 a day though. I couldn't imagine eating 2500-3000 every day, and I lose on average about 2-2.5 lbs a…

Super awesome! I'm doing my first 5k in July - scary! :)

This is me almost 47 lbs down. About 80 to go. Can't wait to hit 50 in the next few weeks.

Another vote for 21 seasoning salute. It. is. my. life.

Awesome, you rock. I'm hoping to do some tough mudder/warrior obstacle courses next year! Love to see that you've gotten there!

Yes, I tried it actually when I started in January - but I quit within the month. And yes, it worked. I just decided that eating healthy worked too. i wasn't hungry because I was eating the right foods, so the sensa was unnecessary. But it works if you have hunger issues, but I would advise against it.

I don't do crossfit, but I recently joined Evolution Group Fitness, a new place that just opened in Champlin. It's Caveman training which is similar to crossfit, but a little more geared to all fitness levels - Lots of kettlebells, boxing, full body compound exercises that are involved in crossfit. They have a free week…

I work as a nurse, and there are always treats. But you just have to think of the no excuses mentality and know that you are stronger than that crap. Focus on your goals, write them down, repeat, and then your power over the food will be so extreme, you can stare at it for 8 hours straight and not give in.

Nothings quite as good for you as the sack of food that should have been made to form chicken brains. It's probably the best food to feed our brains, and I give them to my children 3x a week at least. I have 1-2 chickensacks myself every day if I can.

Have I mentioned how awesome you are? Because you are! Don't you love being the fat girl in the gym and having other people be all "dayum, I better step up my game, look at her go" because I do...

There are somef super uncoordinated guys in our zumba classes at the y, but they get the "guy pass" for being uncoordinated and the women love it. I've tried to get my husband to go.

Not silly at all, sounds fantastic!

Honestly, I think you are reading into it. Dude was definitely flirting with you, because he's observed you enough to know that you've been there before without gloves and now you have gloves. That was his opening line to talk to you. The proper lifting was probably just him talking out his butt because he was nervous…

I am,but I wont give medical advice on the internet, except to say talk to your doctor, and if you are prescribed a drug, then it was for a reason and you should use it as indicated. If you feel like it doesn't work for you, your doctor may be able to prescribe an alternative medication that fits your lifestyle better.…

I'm pretty sure my jaw dropped - that's an incredible transformation. You look great!

or you could just you know, eat real food that you can get at the grocery store like fish, chicken, eggs, etc and then exercise.

I didn't say fruit, I said oranges. They are a pretty citruicy fruit, and wouldn't make you gain the way eating 10 bananas a day would. I had a friend who was doing WW with me, where they do zero points for fruits - and she would have a "smoothie" every morning stuffed full of about 4 cups of fruit, and couldn't lose. Well…

Eggs and dairy in general (yougart/cheese/cottage cheese)

Nobody got fat eating oranges, I say count the reasonable portion or don't do the grams and just look for 1 large orange, 1 medium orange, etc. It will balance out in the end.

Don't belittle your guns, you look awesome! What an incredible transformation. Rock on!

I have a long way to go, but I enjoy seeing the progress in myself. 25 lb difference from 2 weeks ago a side view from last week

I've lost my weight since Jan 7th - so almost 3 months, 29 lbs and I started with zumba, and dropped steady numbers doing it 6 days a week. I still do it 3 days a week and do other exercise the other three. I have the Wii game, xbox game and go to classes. They all give me a burn of 600-700 calories an hour.

Thanks willow, you made my day! We could say the same thing about you though!! You are an MFP rockstar!

foam rolling - speeds recovery

Anyone can add me if you want! I'm at 261 right now. :)

There there* Drink lots of water.

There's a difference between crying about doing a hundred burpees and defending a group of people against derogatory insults. Don't be a bully. Be a positive person for change, know you are better than that and don't need to use that language. As for me, I love to exercise, and I'm bad at all of it. Keep on keepin on…
