100% agree that insurance should NOT cover it unless it is life threatening!! I had to pay big bucks for my oldest daughter to have heart surgery...why should they (those that do nothing healthy) get this for free!!!!

I am sooooo glad I am not the only one!!!! :drinker: I had to log off facebook before my fingers typed what I was thinking and started a facebook war ~ haha

I Did not see your other post - however I too have a daughter that is overweight. She is a twin - her sister is petite sadly she since birth has always been SOLID!!! My daughter is 9 - little younger than yours however same thing..HATES exercise. What I found is doing it as a family (walks etc.) REALLY helped. It has been…

Coffee is why everyone in my house is still alive :tongue:

I have it and tried it for a week - at the time I needed a bigger calorie burn for my goals so I switched to Turbo Jam. I will be most likely go back to T25 in the Summer. The amount I did - I did like it much better than Hip Hop abs. Sadly no success story yet though lol

I eat 1550 (goal not net) and do not even come close to the amount of exercise yoi are doing..I am 5'5 160 pounds. at 170 I was also eating 1550. So i would say def eat more than that ;) Also - if you are exhausted from all the work outs - look at this way. Your exercise plan should be something you can do long term..not…

I do not run however my the workouts I do - I range between 155 and 164. And this is pretty consistent - I think I need to test my resting again if I ever rest lol

Mine was pretty spot on too - the only thing I do not agree on however is the target heart rate. It has mine at 91 -118 ?!?! My warm up put my HR is that zone! BTW reading through it gives some valuable advice on dieting and what each thing means

I was thinking all seriously on how to reply to this poor soul.....then read this ^^ ROFL!!!! :laugh:

Zumba 5 days a week (Exhileration set) - lost 50 of my pounds using mostly that :) and of course a decent diet to go with it. I was obsessed with it - look forward to it and was ticked off when I had to miss a day lol

Fried dough twizzlers powdered doughnuts cheez-its pepperoni & sharp cheese ugh how I miss thee!!!

Subway has a calculator on their site - you can customize it. I however am starting to think it is wrong though as every time I eat there..I tend to lose less than expected if at all?!?!

I used to eat my egg sandwiches like that too :) Since starting this journey I learned to live without the mayo on those. However Cains makes a light mayo - if you do not use a lot you can get the satisfaction of mayo without the jump in calories. I would not recommend it for pasta salad etc however for sandwiches it is…

Just a thought - I have no idea since I eat 2 hours prior to and have no issue. I could not however eat right before but..I am thinking maybe it is not necessarily the food but the intensity of the exercise. A friend of mine used to get sick the first few months of kick boxing. Once she got used to the intensity - it went…

Ohh I hear you on the junk food household!!! I am a Mom to 3, wife and run an in home daycare...snacks everywhere :/ My husband joined me in April of last year so it got a bit better. However the kids still need their treats. Word of advice - put your snacks in a different cabinet. Out of sight sometimes out of mind. My…

Do you find it makes a difference in anything? I started looking around at different plans because since I started strength training (not heavy lifting) that I am hungry a heck of a lot more now. I recently increased my calories since I am getting close to goal weight however that did nothing. Do you cycle your cals too?…

I am 5'5 started at 218 now down to 160 (with a pound of TOM weight this second lol) I lost most of my weight eating 1550 cals per day. I do believe I was a bit higher when I was 190's. I started here on MFP using the standard 1200 and that just did not work for me..I was starving and stressing over what I could eat.…

Looks like I will have to do the same - thanks!

I only measure every 4 weeks - gives me a bigger change which helps A LOT when the scale is being crabby :wink:

hmmm those revolve around fasting. The one I saw said nothing about fasting or when to eat. It did break down cals & macros splitting allotted evenly for each meal. And fat was same for both strength and cardio.

Funny as it since this is MFP - however people are shocked by how much I weigh and what size clothes I wear. Apparently I carry my weight well :tongue: Even though I dis like it anyways lol

First congrats on your weight loss :) It sounds like you have a solid plan!! You are 100% on the right track. One thing at a time helps you be successful and lessens the stress of this journey. Be sure to take pics of your before - during - after. They are such a HUGE motivator down the road. Those can pick you up when you…

I actually just went back and looked at a few of my meals last week - I knew spinach & sweet potato had a good amount of potassium however I realized it was not listed on here ?!?! I just looked at calorie / fat etc to compare apparently who ever entered it did not find potassium important. ugh! Guess I need to check all…

LOL I was thinking the same thing myself a few weeks ago. I am always lower in potassium than I would like so I started tracking it...Then I had to google what foods have it :/ so I could make sure I try and grab some of them when i go shopping

No one ?? :ohwell:

I do not have MFP tracks my days logged in. It annoyed me too much lol I leave for vaca this Sat morning and while I will be conscious of what I eat I am not tracking a thing :) It is vacation...enjoy it as so!

saving!! ;) thank you

I want to be Cat Woman for Halloween and be sexy as hell doing it!! :happy: Course I have wanted to do that for years.., I am betting by the time I can..I won't want to anymore. So Next shallow reason: Make my husband's friends even more jealous of him

Usually 40 to 60 minutes depending on day and almost always only 5 days per week. Rare occasions 6. I have NO intentions on increasing that since I am in this for the long run and want to do something I can handle for years to come :) If I am tight for time which happens I will do 30 minutes instead of 40 / 60 and feel…

It helps when you have a partner coming along for the ride :) I started last Feb and my husband jumped on in April..makes life easier when you are both trying to achieve the same thing. Just hope your partner is not too competitive like mine lol My husband has finally zipped his lips about his losing faster than me..told…
