I find I can jog much longer at an even pace on a treadmill than I can outside- the variables from natural hills and even weather impact your jog outside. I also tend to focus more on my breathing when I'm on the treadmill which also helps, but outside I get distracted. But since all 5ks are pretty much outside, I feel the…

I try to stay in my goal for the day, but sometimes when I'm extra hungry or there is an event of some kind that leads me to go over for the day- then yes, I'll just make it up another day of the week. Think of it as looking at the bigger picture, just be careful that you aren't always stuck in the - "well I'll just eat…

Runkeeper and C25K to keep me doing more each run. I like to listen to music while I'm jogging, so I don't know if I could do the zombie run. Maybe I'll give it a try.

I've had two frosted sugar cookies and not one but two red velvet oreos. Happy St. Patty's Day! I'm not over calories and I don't plan to be today, but it still made me feel kinda crappy.

I had GD while pregnant and the nutritionist recommended eating three small meals with 2-3 snacks. So I eat about 6x a day and that is not to boost metabolism, it had more to do with keeping the blood sugar stable. Even though I don't have diabetes and I'm now out of risk range, this type of schedule helps me from becoming…

SW:292 CW:188 GW: It was 150, but the doctor said shoot for 155 What I'd love to get to? Somewhere in the 130's someday. I think I can make it happen, just gotta take the time and realize it isn't going to happen overnight.

At 292, my cholesterol was high and I was at risk for diabetes according to blood tests. My blood pressure was still pretty good. Now, even though I still have about 40 lbs to go, my cholesterol is within normal healthy range, I'm no longer at risk for diabetes, and my blood pressure is even better. So, I still consider…

Yes, she could live as a complete shut in or she could go out and enjoy that time with friends! Here are some healthier Thanksgiving recipes on eatingwell- http://www.eatingwell.com/recipes_menus/collections/thanksgiving_collection_1#3

It's based off a sample of the population. The overweight and obese line has been hotly debated. I think it's fine to use it as a guide, but not everyone will fit neatly on the chart, but other people totally will. Penn & Teller did an awesome piece on BMI on their show BullSh*t if anyone cares to have a good laugh and…

Your body will reach to burn the alcohol off first, which inhibits the body from burning fat. I tend to stay away from the high-calorie, lower alcohol percentage drinks like sugary mixed drinks and beer.The other problem most people have while drinking is not making good decisions and not being able to stay away from all…

I was 5'4'' 292, I started out walking and then I got a recumbent bike and occasionally used a elliptical. When I got bored, I tried to follow along with videos on youtube of Jillian Michaels and the like. I picked up the Just Dance 2014/2015 game- super fun. And I started playing volleyball for fun and on a league.…

Whoo! Great job on the 95 lb loss!

Oh geez, 12 lbs! When all is said and done, I'm trying to lose a total of about 140 lbs. I hope I don't have 10+ extra lbs of skin. Banking on my genes and age to help!

-
Everyone is different! Your genetics, age, how big you were, how much muscle you have, and so on and so on can impact how much skin you might have. I think my doctor was trying to prepare me for the fact I may have quite a bit of excess skin. I read some people's skin gets better after a year or so, and others have surgery…

As long as you feel good, there is nothing wrong with that. The BMI chart is just a guideline based on a population of people. It doesn't fit everyone. When I gave my weight loss goal to my doctor, she actually upped it by 5 lbs, she reminded me I may have extra/loose skin and technically I would be a bit above my…

^^ Oh yeah, a good chiropractor will also do PT with you. Mine recommended pilates, and gave me exercises I could do at home.

Also, I understand the negative connotation surrounding the term, because it suggests that you don't have any control over it or is being used as an excuse. But that simply isn't true, I think you can get the ball rolling again.
-
I just think it means things are stagnant and like most things in life, you have to change something to get it moving along. I think the definition plateau can be applied to weight loss among other things. And yes, technically, it would be a plateau- a state of little to no change. You don't have to add the permanent.…
-
Hahaha, sounds like a good plan to me then. I'd like to cut down the days this sucker runs on a monthly basis.
-
I have used the term plateau in terms of weight loss to mean a state of little to no change (which is the definition). I think it's totally possible and probably notmal to see little to no change at times. Weight loss is not linear. As you get smaller and your body becomes more efficient at doing the exercise you have been…

I remember I was talking to my mom about this one time and she was like, "You know what helps with the pain? Sex." Ughhhhhhhhh tmi mom, tmi. :D

Use MFP Recipe creator to make your own recipes, weigh all the foods in your recipe and portion it out in a way that makes the most sense. That will be more accurate than choosing random homemade dishes on MFP. People log coffee, but I tend not to, but I DO log the milk/almond milk/ or cream that I put in it. But I also…

Hahahahah omg. I don't know what I'd do, how old is your kid?

I went down a pant size! I just decided I'd go to the store and see if the next size down fit. Well, they did!

The people above are right, the exercise and "clean eating" don't matter ( I mean they matter, but I think you get what I'm saying). A 500 calorie surplus of calories of clean food or junk food is the same amount of calories.
-
My stomach! I've always gathered my weight there. My legs and butt were never that big even when I was at my largest. Haha @batwings- yeah mine are getting to look that way.

Be careful about adding too much fiber too quickly to your diet, add it slowly. Adding a bunch all of a sudden can def cause some gas issues.

Just to see, go My Home, click Goals, and then Change Goals. Go through the guided MFP steps to see what it says for starters. If you have designated workout times, but are generally sedentary, put sedentary. What are the goal calories when you do that?
