  • OK, so I've done some research and if MFP gives you a total calorie goal for the day, that is your net calorie goal - which means that at the end of the day after all your eating and exercising, you should meet that goal. Mine is 1520 or 1560 - I can't remember, but If I eat the let's say it's 1520 - if I consume 1520…

I was always so tired and I used my busy schedule as an excuse not to take care of the body God gave me. 1 Corinthians 6:19 I have finally taken the plunge to…

  • azwen, I agree! My gym also has a pool, sauna, steam room and jacuzzi. Lots of different things offered --- and the gym is 15 minutes from work, on my way to pick-up my daughter from daycare...and 5 mins from my house! VERY CONVENIENT!

  • Nancy, I am too lazy at home. I go straight from work to the gym and I have a workout buddy there. Doing it at home with the husband and baby...I just don't seem to MAKE the time. I can't really pinpoint what it is. I am enjoying the gym right now and looking forward to results my trainer can help me.

  • Katy, I have read that is unsafe to intake less than 1200 calories a day. Please be careful and add some supplements to your diet. God bless you.

    in Chips Alternate Comment by boopbabs January 2013
  • KALE CHIPS - make your own! It's so easy and without all the additive stuff and excessive sodium. And to me, they taste better. Get a bunch of kale from the store, bring it home. rinse it well and pat it dry. Lay each piece flat on baking sheet. Spray with cooking spray and dust with sea salt. Or you can toss in some EVOO…

  • FITNESS isn't exactly a HOBBY. She is making an effort to be more healthy, most likely not just for herself but to the benefit of her husband and 3 children.
    in Is my hubby wrecking my gym efforts? Comment by boopbabs January 2013
  • so maybe it's your in-laws giving him a hard time about you being gone; compromise is good. maybe get up at 4am a couple days a week and then be at home late the other couple of nights.
