That dress looks awesome on you. Can I ask where you got it? (I'm the same height, down from 165 to 145 en route to 130-135)

I'm in!

Am I the only one who finds eating a burger with no bun kind of depressing? When I go to restaurants I usually get what I want, but try to be cognizant of portion sizes rather than just go to town. My husband and I will often have apps and then split an entree at places where the portions are big. I rarely order dessert. I…

Me too ! Love the gummies - when I bought non gummy supplements, I would never remember to take them.

Love it. Get a mat and a towel (they sell yoga towels at Target and on Amazon). Hydrate well before going and take a bottle of water with you. Take an extra handtowel or two to wipe the sweat/moisture. If it gets overwhelming, take a break and go to child's pose or step outside - the more you do it, the more you get used…

I like Bob's Red Mill Whey Protein Concentrate for smoothies. It blends well, and you can flavor it however you want. I got it on Amazon, but I think you can also get it at Trader Joe's.

I think scottaworley was right here - the Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) calculation gives you a value of what how many calories burned on average each day, and that total includes the running you do - that's why it asks how often you exercise (and I am assuming you picked the 3 or 4 times a week option). You don't…

Me too! It runs in my family - we all sweat like crazy. I don't do lunchtime workouts because I can't quit sweating in a reasonable enough time to get back to work (even post shower)! I've lost ~20lbs to get to 146, and I've noticed no appreciable difference in sweat levels, FWIW.

Today I had 130g frozen strawberries 1 apple 1 small banana FF strawberry yogurt 20g protein powder (mine is not flavored) 1/4 tsp almond extract a little water to loosen it up for 330 calories for breakfast. It was yummy. I also have one that I love that runs in the 400 calorie range: 1 apple 1 banana 1 package low sugar…

I love my One - it's been a big help in motivating me to get myself to the gym or out for a walk on lazy days. I'm not big on the bracelet thing, so it works for me. And FWIW, I also accidentally started washing a skirt that still had my One in the pocket, and retrieved it after about 5 minutes. The One was unscathed.

I'll keep it real and admit I am trying to adhere to the Merriam Webster definition of diet: "a regimen of eating and drinking sparingly so as to reduce one's weight," even though I have been pursuing a much healthier lifestyle over the last several months. Worst tasting: Coconut water ... I can't get into it. Worst…

I prefer the treadmill, and usually watch TV or listen to an audiobook or podcast to stay entertained. I'll do the occasional race, but outside running is really hard on my joints, and I'd prefer to keep my original knees. I love going for walks outside though - that's when I can actually take some time to enjoy the…
