Bump!

bump!

This is a good topic! I try to eat no fewer then a NET of 1200 calories a day. Sometimes I eat more. But I burn 4-700 calories a day just about, so 1200 cals is actually almost 2000 for the whole day. Sometimes I eat more (because I have extra left over and I am hungry) and sometimes I cant even reach that net goal. For me…

I think the most trouble people have once they lose the weight is they think that since it is gone they can go back to the way they were before. Weight is gone, why bother doing anymore work? And, I diet and exercise, but I also take a dietary supplement and a multi-vitamin. Not because I am looking for a quick way to lose…

I am 5'6" :) SW: 205 CW: 199 GW: 145 About 2 years ago I was this weight and I loved it. Although I still had a tummy (I always have), and I think this time when I get to about 160 I will start to work on tone. But for right now I focus on what I am eating, being more aware of the types of food I put into my body. I am a…

At night if I am hungry I have a protein shake with 4 chunks of fruit. It fills me up and is pretty good for me. But during the day, I love having fruit for snacks and lunch. Quick and easy and oh so tasty. And I don't worry about the sugar in them. I stay away from processed food and dont concern myself with things that…

This might depend on what those 1400 calories consist of

I will say that I lead a pretty busy life. I am a full time student working on her Masters, I work, I hang out with friends, go to study groups, and I run a chapter for a national charity which means that I also have to organize and attend all of the events in my state. However, I watch what I eat and I exercise for at…

1 1/3 scoops powder 6-8oz 2% reduced fat milk 1/4 cup lite and fit vanilla yogurt And any of the following: 3oz Dole Slices Frozen Strawberries 2oz Blackberries, fresh 1/2 Medium banana, frozen or fresh 1/8th freshly peeled orange 3oz Dole Frozen Mixed Citrus Salad I like to mix and match some of the fruits since they all…

I do Max Interval Training 6 times a week for 30-45 minutes. Thats long periods of high intensity cardio, giving it all that I go for as hard and long as I can, then a short period of rest. Makes my heart work up to 85-90% of its full ability and burns the most calories. Plus, no weights required!

And remember, even though many people think that soy protein is the way to go, its not. Soy is harder for the body to break down, so it cant get to where it needs to go fast enough. Whey is much better, it gets there almost as soon as it hits your stomach. I made this mistake and didnt know I was doing it wrong till my…

and for whatever reason my fitness bar is not updating. :(

yep, same thing, but I found that if I wear a regulare bra that fits a little snug under a tank top that has a built in bra...they hold pretty good, but not perfect. I hope to get a good sports bra soon, but until then, this works for me.

Heres the thing about salad...it has almost no nutricinal value. Like, at all. Alot of people think that because it is green it must be really *really* good for you. Well, even though I cant say that salad is bad for you, but at the same time it is not giving your body anything that it needs. If you are going to eat…

:bigsmile: This weekend my fiances father wants to go RV'ing for his birthday, so we are leaving today at 2. I know there are going to be S'mores there, his mother made it a point to tell us so, even knowing that we are trying to watch what we eat. But I thought about it. I have been careful to watch what I eat, I portion…

well, it is actually scientifically proven that sometimes when we think we are hungry...we are actually thirsty. It's like our brain cant tell the difference and makes us think we want something to eat. So my suggestion is when its late at night, grab a drink and see if that helps. It helps me a ton at night, plus its…

I have a protein shake. Its 100 calories and 15g of protein. But I exercise sometimes before dinner, so that takes care of the hunger issue. But when I do it after dinner, its all about the shake.

Honestly, I think you will be fine. Drink your water to flush out your body from sugar and salts. I try to drink my 8 cups a day, and sometimes I even drink more. Just try to not make this an every-day-of-the-year occurance and you should be fine ^_^ We all eat things we shouldnt every now and then, we cant help it. But we…

Thank you everyone! the movie was great and even without the exercise today and going out to eat I stayd within my calorie range! I am very pleased with myself ^_^

I like the circuit training. You get cardio and strength in the same workout. It's tireing, but I would recommend it to anyone. Like someone said above me, unless you have some kind of medical reason to not lift weights, you should put it into your workout routine, even if it is only once or twice a week. You get better…

its not too low, I set her up the account and it recomends her to eat 1200 a day, just like I said. Dont worry, I made sure it was right. And when I told her 1200, I was just saying that she shouldnt be eating any less than that so she doesnt starve her body. Welcome Janie! I know you are going to like it here as much as…

ok, took a look at your diary for food and exorcise, and this is what I have noticed. 1) I'm going to assume that the days that are not filled out, you forgot to log your food for that day. If you didnt eat anything for that entire day, then this is a problem since I think it was 3 times this week you didnt fill it out, if…

but dont be fooled! it is a tough 20 minute workout lol. Jillian does NOT go easy on you. The first day I thought my legs wre going to fall off lol

I weigh in once a week, unless its my 'time'. then I skip tat week since I am more likely to retain water during that time.

yep, I see what you mean now, I sometimes get close to my goal protein, but often I am a bit off. And I am GOING to drink no more soda (maybe one every now an again ). but this week should be better, since PMS is not going to be an issue lol.

yes, this week with the soda was bad, I know. But I hardly drink it when I don't have pms lol. And Im not getting enough protein? I thought I was eating the recommended amount by the site...I'll keep an eye on it

bump

I have one that looks like a watch. The brand is Mio, I got it from a store called Academy. It only cost me a 30 bucks and I love it. Holds the time, how many calories is my goal, How many I have eaten, my gender, date, a stop watch, and when I exercise it counts the calories I burn and takes it away from the calories I…

can I have your tips on how I can burn 300 cals like that? lol. Or just an estimate on how long you had to keep at it to burn that much. Or just a general idea on how fast your heart was pumping perhaps? If you have an HRM, that should be an easy task! My fiance wont let me wear mine to bed, he says I get too distracted my…

Of course you are. But you have done what you are complaining about. This forum is for new people to introduce themselves, and yet here you are posting something that has nothing to do with that topic. And the main goal is to give people a place to go for support when they need it. Plus, when I see a post called 'Need to…
