Well giving up stuff for Lent is actually a religious thing..

I bought the fitbit zip from walmart. About $60 bucks. Does what all the other fitbits do except it doesn't monitor your sleep (which I dont need). What I like most about the zip though is that you don't have to wear it on your wrist. It's really small so you can clip it to your bra (which is what I do) but I've heard…

this. ^^ I walk about 4 miles a day just by being on campus, but I don't log that because I'm not walking just to do it, I'm walking cuz I have no other way to get to class. But if I run 5 miles on a treadmill, with the intention of working out, that's what I'll log. That's just my preference though.

It sounds to me a little bit like maybe you are frustrated with the fact you are trying to get a healthy lifestyle while people around you are not. You have to realize that not everyone values having a healthy lifestyle. Some of that seems like a self esteem issue too because I know I feel the same way when looking in the…

@BossLady - 8! Cute dress :)

100% need my headphones/music. Without it I can't focus. The gym makes me a little nervous and I get really self conscious without my distractions from everyone around me. lol

Definitely look at the net calories the most. I also like to look at the whole week's worth of calories as a whole (it shows you the average you've been eating. It shows a bigger picture in my opinion because some days you eat more some days you eat less. The weekly summary will show you if you are generally eating too…

whoha: 8

You could use a tape measure, or maybe some goal pants and try them on every so often to see if you're getting even closer to fitting in them :)

Yeah I can see how that would make sense.

I wasn't really insinuating that I wanted to log reading. I was just wondering if there was any particular scientific reason that reading would burn more calories than watching tv. Just as random knowledge to know.

I just thought in general, you're still practically not doing anything. lol

This is more of the lines of what I was getting at.

I meant they logged it as exercise, not as food.

I believe childbirth is sufficient enough you can eat whatever the f*** you want regardless of calories actually burned. lol

Does this actually count as exercise? Like, what type of calorie loss does riding a horse consist of?

EXACTLY! When I see that it is so obvious that people are sabotaging all their hard work. You can tell they are in some type of denial when they log such things.

Another one to add to my list of insane exercise logging - "Preparing food" hahah what?

I just made my own entry under the recipe tab. I used Ray's BBQ which was a little bit higher in calories than a low calorie bbq.

Girls accept the love they think they deserve. I'm a guilty party as well.

Passss

What I started doing was weighing myself in a different unit. (ex. I know pounds, not kg.) So I started tracking myself with kg. When I see 100 kg on the scale I don't think "OMG! This is too much." Because I honestly have no idea what 100 kg is in pounds. But when I step on the scale next and it says 99.7 kg I'm estatic…

For sure. I just feel like if I don't do it ENOUGH it won't work. I'm just kinda too the point where I'm getting impatient and I need to see results quick so I don't think I'm wasting my time.

@cheeky: We DO have a gym! And it is a fantastic facility! I absolutely LOVE it. I'm so excited to be able to live closer to it. I was actually thinking about maybe scheduling 2 hours at the gym a day? Perhaps one hour cardio (elliptical, racketball, volleyball, etc) and then one hour of an actual exercise class. I'm not…

I'll be your friend (: I'm also 19 and have pretty much the same goals as you do. Although, I"m not sure about the whole 7 day water fasting. I'd just start off eating healthy. No need to starve yourself.

I'd try Maurices and maybe Lane Bryant

Glad you enjoyed it! But, yikes, my mouth would be on fire if I made it like that! I really like how easy the sauce is too make. It leaves a lot of room for tweaking just to give the chicken a different taste to fit your mood. :)

Thanks! This is the kinda answer I was looking for. Never really did any of the gym classes before and I'm not really sure what a lot of them are, and what benefits they each have.
