Okay, so my BMR came out to be 1557, according to this calculator (http://www.wikihow.com/Calculate-How-Many-Calories-You-Need-to-Eat-to-Lose-Weight). Now, since I workout 5 days a week (plus walking a mile to and from work 6 days a week), I figured I should multiply by the moderate activity one, so I multiplied by 1.55.…

Okay, I think I was just worrying myself with the podcasts I'd be listening to! What would be too long of plateau where I should look at my fitness side? Definitely going to reevaluate my calorie intake too since it doesn't seem like it's right according to MFP!

Wow, that's amazing! Good for you!

ced1389 - I see you run, too! I'm trying to increase my running endurance so for the past two months my main fitness goals have been to clock in more mileage, faster run times, et cetera. What kind of things did you do to change up your workouts while maintaining your endurance and such?! (ps - you didn't come off as rude…

To those who say eat LESS, personally for myself, I don't see how that makes sense as a solution. The last five pounds I just lost (from early-May to early June) was eating 1830-something I think (from 178 to 173), and then I recalculated (as I've heard you're supposed to do every 5 pounds) and it came up to be 1685 this…

I think starvation mode was the wrong word... Jillian Michaels was calling it your body hanging on to the weight because it believes it is now healthy and wants some extra weight "in case of famine" because that's how we've evolved. Anyway, what heybales said makes a lot of sense to me; that's kind of what Jillian Michaels…

Weighing yourself right after exercising is the WORST time, like the person above said about water weight, so true!! The best time is right in the morning. You'll get the most accurate (most accurate it can be anyway) weight, as weight fluctuates throughout the day.

I think it's cute, put together and simple! Why not wear it, especially if it makes you feel good about yourself!

my gut is my problem area also and I didn't start seeing differences there until about 20 pounds in! Other areas (legs, arms, back, face) I noticed subtle changes over time... gotta stick with it!

You have to remember, it took steady time to put on the weight and it's going to take steady time to take it off! Knowing that you're being impatient is good - use that to remind yourself when you're feeling unmotivated.

My playlist for running currently is: Stronger - Kelly Clarkson Blow Me (One Last Kiss) - Pink Payphone - Maroon 5 Waka Waka - Shakira Want U Back - Cher Lloyd Bones Shatter - Hedley Too Close - Alex Clare When I'm not sure what distance I feel like running, I try to run through the whole playlist because it's about thirty…

I use an app to log my runs that's called Map My Run! It always gives me a higher calorie count than MFP, because it knows the incline you're doing. Think about walking on a treadmill with an incline - that burns more calories than flat walking. You're doing yourself a favor with the walking app, it's giving you more…
