I’ve been overweight off and on since I was a young kid, and lost substantial weight several times and it’s always something different…in middle school it was after a doctor told me to drop weight to fight my asthma, in high school it was joining the theatre troupe and realizing I would have to change in front of other…

23 here, and I've been getting into running this past year myself. I've began running on the treadmill around 40+ miles each week, and I'm loving it. Working on making my mile faster...it used to take me thirteen minutes, and these days I'm running a seven minute mile :) Congrats on the half marathon....looking to start on…

age: 23 height: 5'7 sw: 198...though mfp start weight was much lower since I've only recently joined :) cw: 136 gw: 130

I think what people mean is that Jillian's 30 Day Shred is meant for you to do EVERYDAY for 30 days...as in 7 days a week. Everyone doesn't have time for that, so when they say X amount of days I think that's what they mean : ) I'll try to start on the 1st...never actually went through the whole process of it before. I use…

I keep mine private, even to friends. I know and understand my struggles, and I feel like others commenting would do more damage than good. I may be here for accountability, but I don't think that means I need to let people see every little tidbit. Being here is where the accountability comes in for me. I don't log the…

I continue my normal routine when I'm on mine, and a lot of moving around seems to actually help with my cramps....but it seems to make my flow a bit heavier as well. Though with mine, it usually seems to make it heavier WHILE I'm doing the moving around. It could very well be the exercise that's made it heavier than…

I do this one…I really like it and I log it as Circuit Training. I don’t often do the full 50 minutes all together…a do a section or two of it every day along with my regular cardio and strength routines in order to “tone” areas I don’t like and such. Good luck with it! I do want to throw out there just as a caution since…

Thanks for all the quick feed back and opinions guys! I know calories burned always depends on your own level of exertion…and I finish these 500 calorie burn runs soaked in sweat and full of endorphins, so I feel like I’m putting in my personal max effort. I know a HRM is the best way to go and I plan to invest in one soon…

I get that in real life from friends a lot – although I understand with me they’re concerned because I was living on unhealthily low calories for a while. Now though, I honestly try my very best most days to get all the calories I’m required in…but most days I fall short of the 1200 line even when I feel like I’ve ate…

Your story makes me want to ask my own doctor about thyroid issues…I’ve always felt like I have some sort of metabolism problem because nothing has ever seemed to work weight loss wise for me except extremes….. Anyway…..hi there! 23 here, and I've been battling weight issues since I was in middle school. I'd been a chubby…

Actually went through something similar with my brother who lives with me. I’ve been on this diet losing all this weight for the last half a year, and with me it happened because I LOVE to cook, but was eating so little (unhealthily little for a while) that I wasn’t getting to cook like I liked to. I wanted an excuse to…

I love the Jeanette Jenkins ones I've found on in the fitsugar channel. They're kind of intense sometimes, but only ten minutes so it makes it easier to push myself. I love a lot of the ones from fitsugar actually...most of them are around 10 minutes! :)

Are you bored with granola type bars in general, or just that brand / flavor? If it's just that brand/type then I think there are lots of filling ones out there for 140 calories, and in some cases less! I can't remember any brand names right off the top of my head but I know I enjoy the ones that come with a yogurt like…

If it's for breakfast/ for a morning snack I loved to put a thin layer of Mixed Berry flavored cream cheese or some cinnamon & sugar on it. If it's for an after lunch or dinner kind of snack, I'll scoop some roasted red pepper hummus on there!

Workout DVD's are my go to! I feel like they're better than a gym because they work all different sorts of moves you need into one fun, high energy session. I've gotten in shape doing them in the past without stepping foot in a real gym (we have a treadmill at home so I use that...but real walking can supplement that!) My…

Ah, the timing! I just made a similar post because I was running into the same problem with sugars. Thanks for all the great advice everyone :)

I'm having the same problem, so I'm loving all of the tips in this thread! I'm going to bookmark it.

I sympathize, because once your eating becomes disordered like this, it's so hard to see what's really 'normal.' I did the unhealthy fasting thing to the point where it feels like 500 calories is a goal I really have to commit myself to achieving, and the recommended 1200 is like a dream to me...but I'm working on becoming…

age:23 height: 5'7ish sw: 198 cw: 138.5/139 (not positive...spending more time away from scale) gw: 130/135 (135 I will be happy...but comfy at 130 with some pounds to fluctuate!) I'm trying to be more into health and reteaching myself what's normal since I admittedly spent most of a year losing weight in a very unhealthy…

I don't have the same problem myself, so I'm not sure how helpful I can be...but I do know this is the issue for my father when he diets. He often says "you can't feed a body like mine on so little!", and I'm inclined to believe he's not overreacting because he's a man with a strong willpower. He works a job on his feet…

superman! adele or beyonce?

hot! such a classically beautiful face :)

someone who is strong physically & morally

I'm the same...more interested in toning up and keeping my figure / being healthy! Would love to have friends with similar goals! :)
