Hey peeps, been a bit busy at work with additional hours plus having to take a lifeguard re-cert class for the summer so I have not had time to update lately. But I do have a few questions. Last week due to my partner having a slight injury and some scheduling conflicts, I was only able to get in one workout. Squats were…

I just had ice cream :) Enjoy some yourself! Make room for it in your food choices. Do not deprive yourself of things you enjoy. That is a recipe for disaster when it comes to weight loss. I know from experience :)

SL session 17 yesterday and after the day I had I sure was ready to get to the gym and let off some steam. Workout Weights were Squats 125 - I think my form is starting to get a little wonky at this weight but oh it felt good to do it. Bench 75 - no assistance needed but it was a bit difficult Barbell Row - 85 - these were…

Tennessee has some stunning places to visit. Are you going to East, Middle or West Tennessee? The state parks in any of the places are fabulous. Go to www.tn.gov/environment/parks/ and see what each park has going on where you are headed As for Road Trip Food - We eat at Logan's Roadhouse a lot and I get something from the…

Dani, thanks for the reply several pages back. I also have mine set to the fat2fit radio calculation. Or at least I thought I had it set correctly until I looked at Heybales spreadsheet and realized how how active I really am! I had myself in the lightly active category when I am at the back end of the moderately active…

I am just to dang tired. I have seen this topic in the group for the last few days. But when I looked at it just a few minutes ago I swear I saw April GOATS?? What the heck?? LOL

One day I would love to do the whole biceps photo thing...but as of right now I still have too much loose skin hanging to be comfortable to do that. My workout went fairly well today This was workout 15 My working weights were Squats - 115 Bench - 72.5 Rows - 80 The presses were tough but nothing compared to how bad the…

Ask an employee to give you an orientation on how to use the equipment. You can also ask if any of the employees are there to help individuals who do not have a workout partner.

Scenario 2 just kills me!!! My hubs is like that and tells me all the time that he forgot to eat or did not have time to eat. Good Gosh I MAKE time to eat. I look forward to eating. After breakfast I think about what I am having for lunch and after lunch I think about what I am having for supper. He loves to eat just as…

Got my workout in this morning and of course had issues with OHP Here is what I did 110 squats 60 OHP -sorta 140 dead lift Here is what happened on the OHP. Last workout whereby did OHP I did 57.5 so naturally tried To go up to 60. First set was really difficult but I got it done 2nd-4th set were gosh awful and I really…

Gonna get in before this thread takes off and I can no longer keep up. Hmm Goals for April Fit into my wedding dress again (and look good, not just struggle into it) Finish a 5K at a jog Keep getting at least 3 days in of Lifting each week

You have done a GREAT job!!! The person who commented on your pic is no doubt envious of your success. Help them to feel better about themelf by telling them about this site and then if they do not have time to go to the gym send em to nerdfitness.com

A month ago I would have said NO BRA! No questions. Always. If you can get away with it. Now, after 40 some odd years and all this weight loss, I went to VS and got properly fitted for a Bra OH MY STARS! MY boobies squeeed with happiness when this baby held them up so nicely. And they cried out NOOO and then flopped down…

Start out reducing how much you put in just a bit then there will not be as many calories in it Or try some of the flavored coffees with only sweetener Or just enjoy your coffee the way you want to and cut the calories somewhere else :)

Cajun Grilled Tilapia Mexican Rice California Blend Vegetables all of the above smothered in Tomatillo Sauce Coffee!

Great Story and amazing courage! :)

I eat 1800 on days I do NOT work out. I would be so HANGRY on 1200 a day that I would probably kill someone!

THIS!

You don't know if the person is who they say they are. They could be anyone for all you know. Scammers are everywhere, not just the internet. They just have access to more people on the internet. You have to be careful who you trust. As for the flirting, I do not read those threads so I am largely unaware of how much goes…

I dunno how others do it, but I just set my calorie and macros targets and ignore the whole net calories thing. Since you have the fitbit linked with MFP, your macros targets will change with the fit bit adjustment so you need to keep in mind what your actual macros targets are. Same thing with any exercise where you log…

^Dang Straight!

Sounds like you are torturing yourself if you are not eating foods you crave. It basically comes down to a choice. You choose to eat the food you "crave" or not. You are choosing not to. Which could eventually lead to a binge. I choose to eat food I crave, but I plan for it. I do not call it a "cheat" day, because I try to…

Being small enough to fit comfortably in a regular size bathroom stall in a public place. Being able to wrap a regular size towel around my body and tuck it in Not having my thighs touch ...no wait ....not having my thighs smushed into the sides of chairs with arms Seeing my collarbones ( I touch them constantly) Being…

Start with drinking club soda instead and add real fruit. If you drink coffee I would up your coffee intake for a few days to help with the headaches. Otherwise you will have to just suffer thu them for a few days.

I love RunKeeper The hubs likes Cardio Trainer

Eat when you are hungry.

Welcome! I amTDEE -20% which is right at 1800 cals for me Just finished workout 11. I do not have a regular schedule to lift right now. Just have to do it when there is someone available to help me in the wellness room Light Cardio in the evenings after SL and hiking on weekends with the hubs.

Yes, I knew.
