I get up at 4am to go to a crossfit class at 5am. Evenings don't work because of the mom life. Got 3-9,7, and 4 month old. You could try working out during your play time with them. Use him as a weight, kids love that. My 9 and 7 year old still love to jump on my back so I can squat them lol. Or hold in front of you, squat…

9, 7 and 4 month old. I get up at 4am to make it to my 5am crossfit class. I've been pretty inconsistent since I've had my youngest one but doing good this week so far. I also tried running during my lunch. Which is ok but in Texas and it's still so hot. So haven't in 2 weeks. Mornings work best for me. I use to go in the…

Eating a smaller portion now let's me have a big dinner. I could have a had a bit more but at the time I had my baby getting fussy so I just got a quick bowl. And left the rest for my bf.

I've just started weighing. Never done it before, i didn't want that kind of relationship with food. But i do actually like it. It gives me control over food and more accuracy. I'm in my first week in so whether it works or not, i don't know. Hopefully it does.

I agree! Lol. But unfortunately at 4'11 my calorie intake to lose weight is really low.

Actually I just checked it now. Yesterday I ate way under(couldn't leave work for lunch), was at 1000 calories for the day. I closed it out and it told me I would weigh 138 in 5 weeks if I kept up the good work lol. Would be awesome but rather not skip lunch again.

I put 1lb a week and sedentary since I've been so inconsistent with working out. And I am 4'11 so yes very petite. I just want to get a general idea. I still plan to eat an extra 200-300 calories if I'm able to go workout. If not then 1200-1300 still puts me in a deficit. But having it set at 1200 and planning meals around…

So if I'm making something like spaghetti and I use 16oz I should weigh all of that after its cooked and then weigh my portion? If I weigh raw pasta and then my portion of cooked pasta that won't be accurate right?

After thinking about it more I'm going to use 1200 as base and add as needed. I'll add in snacks or give myself a larger plate at dinner, etc. I worked out this morning so I'm going to add 200 more calories. I think if i don't do that it'll be too easy for me to go over. Whereas if I have something set then I can just add…

I would just encourage healthier snacks and outdoor activities. My son is 7 and a bit heavy. The dr told me to keep an eye on it so I'm going to try to get him into karate and get him a new scooter because he likes that. If she feels good about herself then I wouldn't bring up the weight issue. You can make it more about…

Brownies.cake. candy bars. Oreos. Chocolate cookies. Basically anything chocolate. I have no will power to not eat all of it.

I doubt you'll see any change in your ears. You can get them now or use it as a reward for hitting a certain weight. Your hands and feet will change. I lost about 22 lbs over the past few years, but also went down 6 pant sizes. And my hands are very different. My college ring that use to fit perfectly now flys off if I'm…

I agree. But the pic is old lol. I just had a baby and been very inconsistent. So 1200 is what was calculated if i don't do anything. Which I'm trying to get back at it. And when i do I'll of course add 200-300 more calories

Ok good info. So if I miss a workout here and there(aiming for the 5am class is hard) should I lower my calorie goal for that day?

So if I go with the 1460 I shouldn't eat back any calories burned right? Because that's already taken into consideration?

Probably. I don't have a scale right now but that could help. But it also confuses me. If I make a large batch of something, like sloppy joes how do I measure that? If I mix a can of sauce with a 1lb ground beef how do I measure that? Would I need to set aside the portion I'm eating of beef, measure, then set aside sauce,…

I was thinking of maybe adding a fruit or small salad with it. I guess I'm thinking I'm eating more calories at dinner than I thought I was. So maybe that's why I'm not losing anything. Its easier to fix things that I eat at breakfast and lunch though when I'm eating alone.

No, it doesn't. The classes are suppose to be set up to accommodate beginners and advance cross-fitters. The trainer and just other members are really good at helping with form. When I was doing the deadlifts my group kept trying to correct my form but I kept messing up. Plus the weights I started with was too much. After…

I'm trying to lose about 35 lbs. I usually eat between 1000-1500 calories a day. When I first started I'd go over at times but lately I've been under or in between.
