Rocco's "now eat this diet" is full of great stuff!

I hear you!! I turned 40 in April, and while I am working out better and harder than any other time in my life, the process of the scale moving down is SLOW! I keep telling myself it just means it will stay off, but boy, who knew 40 would be so tough!! Good luck to you!

My workout mix : Five Finger Death Punch, Skillet, Godsmack, Cavo. The harder the rock the better when working out!! :)

As the daughter of the marine, thanks!! Those combat scars show your courage and strength, and that you are a true hero. Be proud of them, and be proud of you!! What a great job you have done!! Big hugs to you!! :happy:

Quaker weight control cinnamon oatmeal and Special K fruit and yogurt are my two fav's

This game is seriously exciting!! Go Team USA!!!

I have the polar FT4, and thought the cal burn was also too low. Spit not water? So you don't saturate it with water prior to working out? I will definitely try moving it down, I do keep it pretty high as well (based on that little diagram that came with it)

Hello!! Welcome to MFP, it is such a great tool, full of really motivated people Feel free to add me if you like, and we can keep each other on track :happy:

Thanks!! Was brutal! I keep hearing I need to burn close to 2000 cals, I don't think I will ever get there! And now I sit on the sofa cheering for team USA!! :laugh:

Hi! Great here in NY, just finished a 1400 cal burn!! :happy:

I don't ever log those things I have been doing forever, unless it is super tough, like in and out of the attic, moving furniture, etc. I do log gardening if it is particularly hard, only because it isn't something that I do all the time. I do log the "traditional" exercise every day though.

Welcome to MFP!! Looks like our total goal is pretty close!! Feel free to add me, I am on every day and it is so helpful having super supportive friends that get the journey that you are on! Good luck to you! :happy:

I use the polar FT4F with the chest strap. Gives a really accurate calories burned, is super easy to use, and also the chest strap is very comfortable. Good luck!

Hi Jenna and welcome!!

HAPPY for sure!! You lost inches! A little weight gain while building muscle is normal in the beginning, but the tape measure does not lie!! Great job!!

Welcome to MFP!! I can completely related to your story, my family is military and I feel like a giant next to them!! Good luck to you on your journey, you can do it!! :happy:

Hi Ashley!! Welcome to MFP, such a fantastic site! Feel free to add me if you like, we can reach our goals together! :happy:

I agree, I do a lot of planning before I go out, going online to look at the menu and nutritional information. Would be so great if it was right there, so you didn't have to plan but could go out spur of the moment.

That is fantastic!! WTG!

Welcome to MFP!! Best of luck on your journey, you can do this!

I agree with the others. You deserve better, and you should lose the weight for you. No matter what your size is, he most likely will not stop cheating, and he definitely isn't good enough to have you on his arm! Good luck to you, you can do this!!

Welcome and congratulations on an amazing loss!!

I think it is the gazelle? Tony Little promotes those.

Good luck!! You can do it!!

Hi Ashley, and welcome to MFP!! Send me a friend request if you like, and we keep support each other on our journey. Good luck to you!

Welcome to MFP and good luck to you!!

I definitely want in!! I hope it isn't too late, I sent you a friend request with my starting weight. Good luck!

I think you have to be true to yourself. My best friend is constantly whining about his weight, but won't do anything to help the situation. I was constantly trying to get him to workout with me, go for rides on our mountain bikes, etc. But he has no desire. So I started doing things on my own, and adding friends that…

Thanks for sharing your success! You look amazing, and it helps so much to keep me on track!!

Hi! Welcome back, feel free to add me if you like, I have a similar goal :)
