Right.. guess I'll be hitting Walmart for a food scale tonight before my workout. I am so guilty of the "slightly over the rim" measurements

wow.. awesome video. Thanks liz!

No food scale, but I do measure my dry ingredients when cooking, and I also measure out things like salad dressings, etc. My breakfasts and lunches are pretty much pre-measured, and dinners usually involve grilled chicken breast with an iceberg lettuce and yogurt dressing (which I measure), or if it's an on the go meal, I…

I've been doing it for 3 weeks now, and have worn my HRM each time I've worked out. The 4 "beginner" sessions required didn't burn but about 200 in an hour.. HOWEVER, the info from ian407 does compare pretty closely to what I am getting. My figures are right around 13/min burned.

If you have bad seasonal allergies.. ^^^^^THAT^^^^^ is correct. If you go to a local bee/honey farm and get bee pollen and honey from a local (to you) hive, your allergy symptoms will diminish. I've done it off and on for years since hearing about it. I've not personally tried the bee pollen capsules in question, but I do…

Don't EVER let someone tell you it's not possible or that YOU CAN'T. After nearly 6 years of being told I was "too fat to get pregnant"..I had a miscarriage at right around 6 weeks.. Didn't really know I was pregnant long enough (3 days) to be devastated.. instead, we were elated that we COULD get pregnant. I might add…

<~~~~~~~~~~~~~was thinking the same thing LOL.

Fantastic Job!!!

Love Love Love LOVE this! :)

I've hung onto them for 10 months - I'm at the point now where I don't have much choice. I'm ebaying them so I can buy a new wardrobe. At this point, nothing fits.. I have 3 pair of "in progress" pants that I can currently wear without them looking like they're 3 sizes too big by the end of the day and sagging. All of my…

ROFL!

Negative Ghostrider. While we don't eat hardly any red meat.. I love my free seafood, fish, and occasional poultry.

Totally in progress - I have about 40 more to go before I'm at my current GW. - When I get there, I'll re-evaluate. I'm 5'6.5" - Would like to ultimately get down to somewhere in the neighborhood of 150ish. I was 140 at my lightest in my mid 20's and had a lot of comments that I looked unhealthy at that weight. So over 10…

I am a walker... I attempt running when the mood hits me or when I'm really feeling the extra energy. However, the vast majority of my cardio is walking. As long as you are moving, and it's working for you, don't let other people's views on walking bother you. YOU know what works for YOU.. YOU are seeing the results that…

I struggle with the same insecurities.. however, I've gotten to the point where this is what I think: 1.. WHY do you care what the person on the street thinks? So WHAT if they laugh?.. Know why? - If they are that rude, shallow and IGNORANT.. they're not someone who should matter to you anyway. You don't know them.. they…

Didn't wear my up band all day yesterday, so my tracking will start today.. 09/02 10.42 (so far) - Had a 10.4 mile walk this morning.

47 lbs this week - had no downward movement since last week from weigh in Wednesday to Weigh in Wednesday.. however, it's the girly week, so I'm expecting a decent drop next week! Started MFP mid month in January 2013. Still have 40 to go to reach my original GW...

Adding.. Definitely in agreement with the PP's who say outside v/s Inside for running.. I could NOT do it on a treadmill (LOVED "Dreadmill"! LOL)... Music is a must.. If I'm listening to slow ballad type music, I might as well be out walking the dogs at a nice sloooooow pace (I love country.. but I have to rock - hard -…

My advice, FWIW, since I'm a non-lover-of-running... 1. Like a PP said.. I don't think I will ever LOVE running, but it DOES speed up my weight loss and it does make me feel better.. an accomplishment of sorts, after having a really good run. 2. DEFINITELY get yourself a good pair of running shoes.. by saying "good pair",…

I am going to echo what 99% of the OPs have said.. 8 lbs in 3 weeks is AMAZING! Just remember.. you didn't put the weight on overnight, and it's not going to come off overnight (or as fast as it came on!) either. Don't hinder yourself by having unrealistic expectations.. you will have up weeks, you will have weeks where it…

I LOVE Zumba! I think the fact that it keeps us moving (and is UBER FUN!) is phenomenal, and I can't see that it's too intense.. if it were, there'd be a warning lable attached LOL :) I have seen other ladies who have done 3-4 zumba classes a week and dropped a bunch of weight while also toning and looked awesomely fit! :)…
