Gotta bump for future reference!

This is me high140's low150's at 5 to 5.5 mph or so, in my 5k i averaged 6.06 mph and average heart rate was 166

bump to find again! THANKS OP

But then again a lot of people say not to go below 1200 , but with your BMR, thats how it works out?

It is my opinion , you should be eating about 1000 to 1200 PLUS about half your exercise calories. You may gain a little at first but it should fall right back off. I am not an expert, just what I have read on here, and what has worked for me. I added calories, felt better, and lost more weight after a 3 week plateau. Your…

One legged SACK race!

You can starve yourself and loose weight, that is obvious, your body MUST use what little you give it,and burn the fat for the rest. If you want sustainable "lifestyle" it takes a little more work to balance whats going in and out, to still loose but not gain because your body thinks it's going into winter, famine,…

I would say that is too low......but that is JUST an opinion. I did see results when stuck, by raising calorie intake....your results may vary however :)

I try to equate what the equivalent would be. So similar to raking the lawn for an hour, aerobics for a half hour or whatever. A lot of time i don't count that type of stuff, unless I need the extra calories to justify ICE CREAM or something! LOL Just remember it is better to shoot low on calories burned.

OUCH! Congrats, I can not imagine the pain LOL but it will be worth it! Glad you have more friends now! Not sure why the slow start! Keep it up!

BUMP:noway:

Congrats on your first post! :D

Kizzy I don't get it!?!? What does everybody have against you! You have a great personality (from what I can tell from last night) Come on guys give a girl a hand!

You gotta keep trying! Or at least put the story back up without the pics!

errrm you are so thin we can't see you! I think you may have gone too far! ( so when u get it fixed....her photos were not showing up!) Edit: Your journey sounds AMAZING! I just hope you haven't become a spec of dust as the pics would appear! :)

At least that! depending on age your BMR is around 15 to 1700! Trust me i plateaued and RAISED my calories and have been loosing steady again! MINIMUM 1200 buy you really need to go higher!!!!!!

Add me to this list! :(

THIS!

I definitely look older in my face....same with my brother! But I feel younger and that is my only goal! I think it depends on the shape of your face.

Double check your numbers......I bumped my calories up about 100 calories and broke my plateau. I was actually gaining for 3 weeks... UGH and raised calories 100 and I have lost 4 pounds this week...raised mid last week! NOTHING ELSE HAS CHANGED! I feel less hungry and am loosing again! It makes zero sense I get it but try…

THIS THIS THIS!!!!!!!!!! YES!!!! But why are you waiting till June? Start today before you forget this great post you just wrote!

Until this happens to me i have no basis for my opinion, but I hope i am like you, and don't let the maybe 1/4 of 1% of the people that see me (which is even more minute in the grand scheme of things) stop me from doing it for me. It kills me to see people struggle with this. I guess I am lucky to live on country roads and…

yeah that!

I had anxiety over running outside as well...but you know what...I am better almost nobody even notices your there, may 5% ......of those that do i bet 95% think it's great you are doing it and eather wish they could do it or were out there doing it now! That leaves .25% that are just freekin miserable about everything,…

AWESOME! Good luck!

Surprised nobody responded to this! You stated in another post you noticed a difference in size! THAT IS A PLUS!!! STOP FOCUSING ON THE SCALE! :)

"i did notice that my hips looks a lot smaller." Stop focusing on the scale and focus on measurements! If you notice your measurements are getting smaller the scale will catch up! DO NOT LOWER YOUR INTAKE IF YOU ARE HAVING NOTICEABLE CHANGES WHERE YOUR AT!! You also stated you lowered intake and quit exercising so…

LOL, untill this post I thought I was creative with the sick and tired of being sick and tired! I guess i need to change my profile!! But it's so true! Now i am tired and sore...not sick and tired HA HA!

Quite a wide variety of opinions as I expected! Does it matter what "activities" you do? IE: runners need more carbs and lifters need more protein?

Made a version of this for Super Bowl Sunday! Called them fat guy wings (if I can't laugh at myself who can i laugh at?)........It was one of the first dishes to be emptied! And OBTW most people were not dieters...in fact i may have been the only one! Edit: to add... I have made it on 3 occasions and they were loved all…
