I have had "that kind of day" for the past month. I just stopped logging and ate whatever I dang well felt like eating. Cried in the shower last night at all my hard work the previous 2 months gone down the drain. And why?? Because I went over my calorie goal and I knew it, so I Thought, "I'll just skip today and do better…

Starting Weight: 180 Week #1: 173 Week #2: 176 tom :sad:

I decided over the weekend that I'm going to concentrate my gym time on heavy cardio and heavier weights. Going from working out 2-3 x's a week to 5-6x's a week. Eating is normal (with the occasional slip ups) but I need to drink protein shakes afer each workout now that I'm upping what I lift. (And by heavy weights, I…

Weighing in tomorrow...I forgot to weight this morning :(...or maybe I skipped it subconciously cause I know I messed up over the weekend. Not to mention TOM!! I hate TOM!!!

Matthew McConaughey can go shirtless anywhere!!!

Heathcliff!!

Looks like someone ^ is vying for the "group clown" award!! :)

Seriously right?! Go on pinterest and you'll find a ton! Some not so great...boring or whatever, but I like things I can do quickly and can feel. Your obliques are gonna be sore tomorrow!! :)

I just pinned some ab exercises on pinterest! Loving them - I mean I really feel it... 1. Russian twists - sit on the floor, lift legs parallel to the ground and use a medicine ball or dumbell and twist at the waist 2. Toe dips - same form but out hands behind head and lift head off ground, slowly lower one foot to touch…

Awesome! So we would vote at the end of the nine weeks - Would the date be November 25th? I think that's 9 weeks from this past Monday (Sept. 23).

Hi! I'm Amanda from South Texas! Totally stalled right now - been hovering between 173-175 for 6 weeks! I've signed up for a Mud Dash in late November ( Really big in Texas y'all ). So its a motivation and losing that 20 pounds by then would be awesome! My overall goal has been to lose 30 lbs. ( from 180 to 150 ) - so 2…

I haven't lost anything!! So bummed! 7 weeks into MFP, tracking at 1,000 calorie goal (granted I dont track everything all the time and sometimes I go over, but I also miss tracking some of my workouts and just average my calorie burn). But I should be further along by now! What is going on?? Another thing, I'm 33 and I…

The one Im doing is the Mighty Mud Dash - not as huge as Tough Mudder! Upper body wise, I've just been doing dumbells, maybe I need to start doing more pull ups or jsut increase the weight I'm lifting. I have bad knees, so I worry about the cardio - running. Squats are killer!! Do you know if there's a lot of hanging…

The scale will probably show a gain because of your TOM for the next couple of days. I 've been told when it's your TOM to make your added calories as much protein as possible. If you're on a vegan style diet (eating clean means different things for different people), idk... but when it's your TOM, drink loads of water and…

It's ok...ignorant people say stupid things. If you believe in God and the bible (and you can't say you believe in God if you dont believe his word), then you know what happened to Daniel in the Lions Den and why, you know what fasting means and why we do it, you know what sexual impurity is and what it means, you know…

calm down joy.... I wasn't yelling. Just asking. Good to know.

Are you condemning her for posting about God and her choices on this forum? Are you discriminating based on religious beliefs? Why shouldn't she be allowed to share her story and point of view wherever she wants? Just because she's talking about God?

Strong and rugged!!! Hugh Jackman comes to mind :love:

morning after

Ugh...the mosquitos! They're everywhere... i live in matagorda and they're even at the beach!

How far south of Houston? me too!! Tell me it's not hard to lose weight in South Texas. When we say mexican food, we dont mean taco bell!

116 DAYS TIL CHRISTMAS!!!!! That's only 16 weeks! If you workout 2x's a week, that's only 32 more workouts! I have got to step it up. Time to get super charged guys!! http://www.xmasclock.com/

Height: 5'5" Current Weight: 174 but I started MFP 3 weeks ago at 180. My Christmas Goal is to lose 30 lbs. I'm starting from my initial weigh in weight of 180 - so my ticker shows that I've lost 6 pounds and have 24 to go before Christmas! It's slow and depressing at times, but WE CAN DO IT!!!

So do you just use a different calculator to determine your "new" caloric needs according to your "new" weight and adjust your goals in MFP?

oh yea! I couldn't see It on my work computer...but I'm on my phone now..damn he is sexy!#

Hugh Jackman........such sexiness! (wish I could post a pic) M-M-M-M-M

Guess I'm confused. Oh well

Awesome read...I must admit, I zonked out for a second when things got really confusing, but got right back into it. I think your reply to that post really summed it up for me as i'm on a1,000 c/day diet. I can feel my body needing less calories after a week. But, that means I need to work harder to keep it off. Thanks!

The Lone Star State! Texas - right outside Houston Yes...everything is bigger inTexas...

I'm confused because i have the same problem...i stayed at 1200, worked out 3-4 times a week for 6 months and only lost 2 lbs?! And I think that's because I had a flu. So i droppped to 1,000 calories a day and exercise off about 300 (3-4 times a week). What does it mean that you eat back your exercise calories and how can…
