No idea about the weather where you are going but I went for a run in the snow yesterday. I wore my trail running shoes with aggressive tread, running tights, fleece top, running jacket and gloves. I ended up tying jacket around my waist and took off gloves about 2 km in. Shoes got soaked but I was thankful for warm wool…

I wore my HRM for an hour of power yoga, it was only 170 calories.

My husband doesn't like coconut but when I add coconut milk to curry he doesn't notice it. It is not that powerful of a coconut flavour and adds a bit of extra depth and richness to some curries.

Congrats on completing stage 1! Losing inches is the most important thing:) I suspect the 4 lb gain is water weight from your healing muscles...at this point I wouldn't change up calories.

I actually feel pretty good today, hips a bit stiff but may head out for a short 5 km easy run. I finally discovered in the last stage that if I have a good 10 minute stretch after lifting, I am not that sore...yes, I know I should have been doing that all along:)

I just delete them. I don't send a pm, I don't try to change their behaviour, I just delete from my friends list. It is ok to be selfish in this case, I am on this journey for me, I want supportive friends and if I am cringing at some of the comments and daily allowances that they have, I don't want to deal with that type…

Great job, I was wondering what to do next....

Mouse, a 200% increase FANTASTIC!!!! I just did my first workout of Stage 7 this morning. I read the recommendations, dropped my weight, first 2 sets I was thinking to myself, I may have dropped too much because it seems too easy, no problems lifting, 30 second rests were ok, didn't feel too tired......then, set…

Starting this stage next week:)

Shock Absorber is great, I wear a 38 F, great support!

It is a TV show and they want ratings. Bob wants to sell his book so he makes sure you see results fast. It does not translate well to real life.

Even if you don't follow the program, it definitely gives some great background information on lifting weight. I would encourage you to read it. I am following the routine and have seen a lot of success with it:)

I include it in my activity. I follow the TDEE calculation from Scoobys workshop. It works for me:)

I just looked at your diary, I would encourage you to get in more protein. I would swap the cereal and banana at breakfast, have some eggs, Greek yoghurt, cottage cheese, some thing that will make you feel satiated longer. Then, bam...roll over those carbs for your dinner:). Swap out your low fat yoghurt for Greek yoghurt…

Sorry, I have no idea about your question but you might get a few more responses posting this in the Fitness Exercise a Threads:)

I started at 263 lbs, I say why wait. Follow a run walk program, I used the Galloway program, listen to your body, don't push it if you are not ready. I repeated some of the weeks several times before I felt ready to advance. But first, make sure you get fitted for proper running shoes from a specialty running store !!!! I…

I would stop for now until the pain is gone but also talk to the instructor, they may be able to give you alternatives to some of the exercises and recommend different stretches

Do you tighten the measuring tape so it is snug or keep it lose, there is a margin of error using tape measures as well. Also, measurement sites may be different each time so you get a slightly different measurement. What is your weight doing? Is it increasing as well? You may consider decreasing your calories but if it…

Have you read the book yet? It will explain the principle to incorporate more of a full body workout, than breaking it up into upper and lower workouts. I have successfully kept running while doing this program as well. I would recommend to follow the program as is:)

I just started Stage 5. I confess, I did a few intervals after weights, but have since given it up and just run and do spinning on a different day.

I have continued running while doing NROLFW and the occasional spin class thrown in. I will do it the day after a lifting session and have a rest day the following day. Not sure about the program you are talking about though...

I routinely eat cheese, I love it!!! I have to weight it out though because 1 oz never seems enough, I usually have 2 oz=240 calories, I work it into my daily calories:)

Do not try to restrict your calories when your body is trying to fight to get healthy again. Focus on getting better. Set your calorie goal to maintenance until you are healthy.

With your stats it is probably loose skin. What is your age? How fast did you lose the weight? These are factors that will go into determining how long or if the skin will tighten up. I don't think you need to lose any more weight but maybe start some strength training to change the look of your body. As far as getting rid…

I think it is just water retention from starting a new exercise regime. I wouldn't change anything at the moment, if it has only been one week.

According to your weight loss chart, it isn't stagnant, it keeps going down. I think your recent weight 'gain' is probably just normal fluctuations. I would keep doing the same thing for a couple more weeks to see if it gets back on track...

Correct:)

I also look at my calories as a weekly goal. I will roll over extra calories into a different day, as long as it evens out at the end of the week, I am happy.

I am 5"11 looking to get to 190lbs, that should put me at my goal body fat percentage.

Sounds about right. I am eating between 2100-2300 calories a day, I am 5"11. We have been brainwashed into thinking 1200 calorie diets are the way to lose weight, it may work for some smaller people but that is not a one size fits all goal.
