For me it was all about weighing my food out. And I mean everything! I only eat 1200 calories a day, but when I do exercise I eat all of my exercise calories back... and I give myself 1 or 2 days a week to eat what I want within moderation. Make sure you log in all of the sauces, and toppings you put on food too. Every…

Hello! Just thought I'd share my success story! I'm 5'2 1/2 and started out at 155 pounds at my heaviest. I started out with my goal weight at 135 and have made it there and lost even more than that! My lowest was at 128, but it was really hard to maintain, so I gained up to 133 and have been holding steady there. I'd…

I'm down to where I'm trying to lose 10lbs... I'm currently 135 and want to get to 125. I keep thinking I should go to trying .5 pounds a week. 1200 cals a day is killing me. It's just not feasible.

I am exactly the same way! I eat so good through the week and stay on top of exercise and then on the weekends I binge and get lazy. Ugh!

Just watched through and wow!!! I'll def do the nerdfitness workout before my walks! Thanks for sharing!

I'll try the HIIT you suggested... But there's one problem, I can't do a push up lol.

Yeah if I lost another 10-15 pounds I'm almost certain I'd be too small for the bikini I bought :smile: I have one-pieces in my arsenal of bathing suits so maybe I'll go in my one-pieces for a while until I'm tan enough and lost a little bit more weight to feel comfortable in my bikini.

I'll definitely read around on the strength training threads! And I'll also work on that tan once I get a lounge chair to lay out in!

Ooh I'll try that! I have 1-2 pound weights.. I wonder if those would work for toning my arms when I take walks?

Getting a food scale is great advice!! I use one everytime I make my meals/eat!

Well darnit lol. You and I are in the same boat!

The only way I got my hair loss to stop was to stop exercising. I suppose I could of went from exercising 7 days a week to only like 3 or 4, but my hair was falling out so fast that I thought I was going to go bald. I've started exercising again and checking to see what my protein intake was at the end of the day and sure…

Thanks for linking that thread!!! There are some very inspiring posts on there :)

Awesome Job!!!! :)

Thanks for this recommendation! I just put my walking route on there and it knows that there's hills and everything!!!

I'll definitely check out the heavier weights tonight when I go out. My worry is that I'll gain too much muscle? I just want all of the flab off of my arms lol...

I guess it's my arms I'm not happy with? They still seem like they could be smaller. My husband bought me 1 lb weights but they don't seem heavy enough to do anything.

Thanks for all of the awesome responses every one!!! :smile: I'll check out mapometer and use some of the other websites you all mentioned. I asked my husband the other day if I could use our bicycles computer to track my speed and he asked me if I had a wheel to put the sensor on :smiley: and then he just died laughing. I…

I guess my next question would be how to find out how fast i'm walking lol...

Thanks for all the responses!!! I only have Just Dance 1... So now I think I need to get the others :)

I bought a food scale at Walmart thats digital, I really like it... I just had no idea if the weight's that people were inputting on My Fitness Pal were with the skins on or off.. Im already amazed at how small my portions have to be to be accurate with counting calories, and have already lost 1lb of weight.

Get to know better

Alright! Thanks :)

Hardboiled eggs sound awesome! I'll have to make some later for the next few days

That sounds good! I'm mainly looking for something low-sugar though because that's what always gets me in the end :(

That sounds like a great idea for the mornings! I used to eat a Luna protein bar every morning for breakfast, but it ended up making me go over my sugars at the end of the day :(

That sounds yummy! Usually I'll have a couple of scrambled eggs with avocado for lunch :D I love avocado!

Well.. I guess I should say my confessions! I went to Zaxby's last week and ate their 5 piece chicken meal and then went home and had cookies... Needless to say, I was well over my calories allowance. I punish myself for my cheat days with intense exercise which stresses me out and makes my hair fall out. I don't drink…

I've downed 2 cups of coffee so far and my stomach is finally growling. lol

I rode the Upright exercise bike this past Sunday and that was the last time I rode it. I'm planning on just working out 2-3 times a week for the sake of my health.
