Sounds HOT to me! :blushing: :love:

I lift weights every other day (S-T-Th-Sa-M-W-F) Sundays-Swim Mondays I do cycling and run a mile or two. Tuesday--Interval training--cardio+strength+bags (it's a class at my gym) Wednesday--CORE class, swim, HIIT Thursday--cycling, run Friday--swim This is the basic idea. I listen to how my body feels and adjust…

^^^^^WTF????? This is the most ridiculous advise I have EVER heard. Your body needs a minimum of 8 -8oz cups a day. Almost everybody is dehydrated. So you need to drink over 64oz of water a day until you are hydrated. You also need to drink water when working out to rehydrate from the water lost through sweat. Water is…

I'm curious how many people do take supplements? I am not a fan, but don't have a theory for my negativity toward them.

Higdon's d' bomb!!

Oh, I was trying, and then TOM came and I said screw it. I have a good plan for the beginning of the year. I'm looking at the next week as the end of the old me...enjoying the last of the crappy foods.

I like this!! You aren't responsible for their success or failure, but you are the catalyst and the influence for something amazing going on in their lives. I like that other people are watching me. It keeps me accountable! :)

Yes...and no...I was plateaued for a month or so and my brother (he is a LMT and he and his wife are also health freaks) challenged me to just cut out sugar--as in the deserts, soda, etc. I immediately started losing weight again. I did that for about 3 weeks. This week has just sucked though. I really do need the all or…

Great job!!! That IS tough!! You can do it!! :)

Thanks for all of your advise. I really like my job and it is rewarding, even if it is not challenging. I think part of the reason I like that it is not challenging is because I have a lot of other things outside of work that need my attention and are very pressing. Work is the "easy" part of my day. I think I will try to…

Interesting answers! Thanks for your ideas and perspectives! I am a single mom so I am not willing to work a part time job other than at the YMCA. I have considered selling Mary Kay, but truthfully, I suck at selling things.

you look fab!!

Great job!! You look AWESOME!! :)

^^^ This is a smart man! Use left overs for lunch so that you can easily pack them up before dinner begins. Cook your meat and rice, etc on the weekends and portion it out. Can you do a little work out at lunch? I really like the idea a lot of people had to get up on the days you get to "sleep in." If you want it, you will…

What is your weekly average?

Last night I was sitting and thinking, why did I start this? Why do I continue? What happens when I'm done? Why is this so important? I read an article in Runner's World about Ben Davis, this huge guy who had yo yo dieted and then finally found his place in running and has lost and kept off the weight. It was really…

The poor thing is just as anxious about being in your house as you are having him. He will be happier if you take him home, IMO.

The United States contains like 2% of the population but consumes like 98% of the world's energy. ID.10.T.

I am on 1200 cals. I usually burn 400-600 cals/day and have about 200-300 remaining left to eat. I don't typically net the 1200. However, I look at this as a guide because the exercise cals are NOT exact and I also do not have the absolute portion sizes. I am losing. I think what is causing me to lose is that I am…

The middle of my weight zone for my height. I don't want to be close to the high end boundary.

how does the challenge work? is it weight loss percentage or what?

feel free to add 5'9" started at 250 current 179 goal 145

dating f*ing sucks! She needs to move on, as everyone else says. I just wanted to say it sucks.

5'9" highest weight: 250 (Jan. 2010) starting MFP weight 244 (Feb. 2011) Current weight 179 Goal weight 145 (because it is smack dab in the middle of my "healthy weight zone" of 123-169) When I get to 145 I'm going to Florida. I hope to do that by Spring Break...but really within the next 6 months is fine! My mom says I…

I like how your tummy looks in your ticker. That makes me jealous...but I really just want a flat tummy. I want more kids more than a 6 pack and those seem counter productive.

well...worst part of my day(s) is that I don't have brakes in my car. SCARY! Almost got into an accident this morning. Best part is that a friend dropped off some new Nike's for my daughter. Due to the brakes I have little money for Christmas gifts, and I really wanted to get her new shoes. She might really be needing them…

One girl who is not fat broke the seat off of her bike. Good thing we were getting new bikes a few weeks later!!

I don't wear underwear when I workout so I have to be sure that my pants are super tight fitting. I wore a size too big yoga pants to cycling on Monday and was constantly checking to be sure I wasn't mooning the hottie behind me.

I have been struggling with this issue as well. Work isn't a problem--I don't have a problem skipping out on the teacher Christmas parties and post-conference gatherings because our program is located off campus. I go to the main campus maybe once a quarter and most of the personnel don't know me from Eve and the…

I definitely use the food diary. When I was plateaued for awhile I would log in and make comments here and there, but you are correct, I was plateaued because I did not record what I was eating. I wasn't paying attention to my intake at all. My weight was fluctuating all over the place. Since Thanksgiving I have put in…
