When I do circuits in the gym (taken from the bodybuilder website), it takes about 65 minutes to complete and it adds up to about 1200 cals burned. I am almost 300lbs though and I always log it as 1000, just in case my calculators over estimate the burn non-circuit burn is about 700 an hour tho

I like Jillian Michaels DVDs (probably the only overweight person to ever say that) and I'd recommend ripped in 30 and 30 day shred. Both incorporate weights and are pretty good on time (30 mins for shred, 50 for ripped)

When I was pregnant with my 1st son, I weighed 231 at conception and 238 at delivery. 2 weeks after giving birth I weighed 219 (he was 8lbs 9oz at birth) I'd actually gotten down to 215 before I started gaining weight again while breastfeeding With my 3rd baby, I was 286 at conception, 295 at delivery and 278 2 weeks after…

Meds have saved my life on more than one occasion. The key for me was to recognize that this is a lifelong condition and that taking meds do not make me weak or less of a person; armed with that information, I have been able to stay unmedicated successfully

Your FB wall sounds a lot like mine. When someone I know inboxes me with their latest/greatest weight loss miracle (I guess I'm a target because I'm 100lbs overweight, go figure) I ask them how much they have lost so far. "30lbs in 1 month" "that's great! Wow! so what happens when do you stop taking pill/shake/wrap/etc?"…

I have to say: I have had Bipolar disorder my entire life, I was diagnosed at 18 After trying several different combinations of meds, (abilify, depakote, wellbutrin and several others) I realized that I hated the Zombie feeling I got from them. I had small children at the time and I never wanted to play with them or spend…

5'7.5 CW 295 pants size 20 1st goal weight: 180 pants size 10-12 UGW 165 pants size 8? I have a big butt (and I cannot lie lol) and I haven't been in single digit pants since puberty. I would just love to wear a bottom that doesnt have a 1 in front of the number shirt size currently 18-20 or 2xl

I am 5'7 and a half (yes, it counts), currently at 295, aiming for 165 I dont believe that I have been 165 at any point in my adult life, so I would love to see it, plus I am bottom heavy (always have had these massive thighs and booty) and I am unsure of what I will look like at that weight. I always joke that I am built…

That's a great way to sneak them in! :wink: I try to add veggies to everything I eat. I cook a lot so I have some interesting combos under my belt so far lol Keep up the good work! (and 5lbs in 2 weeks?! WHOA! I'm a little jelly of you right now lol)

bump to save...might sneak this one in for the fam so I can actually enjoy some cheesecake instead of just baking for them!

Bump because I giggled like crazy all morning!

BUMP **drool**

QFTACIF (quoted for truth and cuz its funny!)

I spend about 600 a month on groceries. I coupon, so I get about 900 in groceries per month We eat a lot of everything, its 6 of us, 3 adults and 3 garbage disposals (ages 9, 7, 2) and we get a lot of fruits, veggies, meats, cereal, oatmeal and milk. No, really. Like 3-4 gallons of milk, 6 gallons of water and 4-5 loaves…

QFT

Commenting to save for later when I feel this will inevitably happen to me (I am going to start walking outside for longer than my standard mile, YAY me!) And also to add that I would have probably done one of these things: Shouted to them: "say it to my face!" Flipped them the double bird Remembered their license plate…

I'm terrible at breakfast. I usually eat in the morning because I get a little woozy if I dont, but if I dont eat at home, I make TERRIBLE choices (like those lovely malorca sweet breads from Starbucks grrrrrr :mad: ) I actually love "breakfast" food (eggs, pancakes and bacon are my top fave foods) and if I got up early…

Eat everything on your plate. No, seriously. I could be full-to-alomst-vomiting and my dad would be standing over me telling me to finish my plate. After a few years of this, I took it as a challenge. My mother cooked almost every day and the meals usually included vegetables, but they werent healthy. Frozen salisbury…

Eat 3 or 4 pies and a few lbs of mashed, turkey and mac n cheese [/quote] QFT I am going to spend the 4-5 days before thanksgiving baking and making delicious treats and on turkey day I am going to eat whatever I want, however much I want and Im only gonna log on MFP is: "turkey day. shrugs. 6000 cals" I am a great cook,…

AWESOME JOB!!!

Bump to read later! Congrats!!!

I'm in MD, PG county... We aren't too far apart lol Feel free to add me!

I've used Herbalife and Visalus in the past. Visalus tastes better but they both are pretty expensive. I prefer Visalus because the flavor can be mixed with whatever I want and wont overpower (I add fiber, almond milk and fruit to mine) I buy mine off amazon for $45, it lasts a month and I use it for breakfast. I've also…

Here's my list: McDonalds (no explanation needed) Wendy's. This one I must explain. On my last day there, we had run out of everything. Literally EVERYTHING. We only had big meat, little meat, large cups, straws and soda. Thats it. This was when Wendy's served fried chicken, biscuits and salads in addition to their regular…

This was totally going to be my response. **HUGS** I worked there for 2 years, I feel your pain!

I usually add Fiber One cereal to my breakfast protein shake (it makes it really thick, which I like) and itll give me about 10-14g of fiber and a little extra protein. I also try to eat dark leafy greens and beans (I love black beans, refried and spinach) I will also eat Fiber one bread and other items that contain more…

bump to keep the great tips!

You sound like you are reading my mind!

Best. Idea. EVER!!! :laugh:

I would be mortified. I would probably go home and binge on cookies, ice cream and cheese. I would probably cry and turn beet red. And after I finished wallowing in self pity, I would go back to the gym, sweat harder, stink more and dare them to say something to me. I would probably hug them while sweaty and wipe my head…
