I usually try to stand behind someone who is totally and utterly fit so it motivates me to push myself as i see them being awesome! :)

Exactly. Thank you. ????

I find work outs on an empty stomach to be most uncomfortable. I feel dizzy, light headed. I make myself eat whole grains + proteins (egg, cottage cheese) before i go to the gym for a work out class, whether cardio or strength training.

I suppose we all have habits and quirks that are 'strange' to others. I like gym classes because when everyone is so into it, it pushes me to go further (and i really need to be pushed!)

Alright, i'll be more understanding of the low cal burners :)

I hate the yapping prancers too ????

I go to classes with a coach so have to listen to the instructions. Mind you, i wear ear plugs because the sound gets so high and i already have a damaged ear from going to too many concerts. It's the fact that some yapp away constantly that i don't get. Why don't they just yapp over coffee?

I do that too! Always havr. It is the only way for me to be comfy and 'safe'

You could set your MFP to sedentary as default and download a podometer for your smart phone. That way, you could deduct a few calories on the days you have been 'active' at work. Otherwise, I wouldn't worry too much about the 'active' days and treat them as 'bonus expense'. And whatever you do, don't use those days to eat…

Are you confusing exercises with bacteria? There is such a thing as anaerobic exercises? Weird Update ! I guess there is ! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anaerobic_exercise

Oh and congrats on the 79lbs loss ! wow ! Just wow!

I just want to chime in and congratulate you on the puff pastry making !!! It is not easy to make pâte à choux correctly, to incorporte enough air and then form the little puffs. So : nice job on that. On another note, i too have a tendency to binge. My poison is chocolate, once I start, it is to eat a whole lot more than…

This thread made me LOL because. I was never ever the type to go to the gym, let alone be asked to be someone's gym buddy. But now, I can kinda see it. I admit i am happy when I go to classes at the gym and see a familiar face or two. Especially the rounder ones at the back of the class ... which is where i sweat!

Saved the links to the readings. . Thanks.

Also, soreness hits the worst 48 hours after the work out.

My biggest issue is to find underwear that will "contain" and "hold in place" when i do cardio work outs (jumping jacks etc...) I end up wearing a Champion bra which I got in the US plus a 'sports bra' on top of it for extra support... Clothes are nightmarish indeed

Lost my head ! ????

On posts like this, i am glad i don't live in the US anymore but i miss Taco Hell so much !!!! LOL Recently read they opened 2 Chipotles in Paris and may have to take a trip JUST for that chicken burrito!!!! Otherwise, my biggest "sin" was chocolate chocolate chocolate in bed, right before falling asleep !

Who is that Dr Oz y'all are talking about ?

This sounds fantastic! I for one have no problem with water but my bf does. He will not drink the stuff unless it is flavored. Therefore, i will make the recipe for him. Here is another we do on occasion as a 'mocktail' I'm sure if you water it down you could drink it all day long :) Lemon-Lime Basil Ade Ingredients:…

Sometimes, i find myself bargaining. "If i don't go to cardio today, i can go tomorrow" / "i need to stay at work i have things to do" - you catch my drift. When that voice starts talking in my head, i short circuit it with 'No, i must exercise'. There is no logic, no reason why, i must do it, just like we must stop at the…

My goodness ! it looks like those infomercials for miracle weightloss crap. Except IT IS the same person in both pictures !!!! It is amazing and truly inspirational. We all here can appreciate the dedication, hard work and even tears that went into this process. Well done miss, well done !

Thank you for your advice! I'll give my cardio jam a chance to develop then. And as far as weights go, i suppose that's why the coach is always reminding people how to breathe in his instructions. It has to be a conscious effort. That makes a lot of things to think about : shoulder down / don't lock your knees / control…

It's not like I am an expert or anything but the 'obsessive' tone of your post resonates with my experience as well as the underlying frustration. When i get into this mindset, i try to re-wire and focus on eating a balanced diet VS a low calorie diet. Truth is a balanced diet Is usually a low calorie diet. But the focus…

I do that. And it tastes GREAT ! ????

Thank you for the input! It does look really intense, I may wait until I get in better shape.

A-men! ????

No thoughts or opinion?

Because they are @ssholes without any manners. They want to brag and 'look cool' in front of their crew. As always, the best thing is to mind your own business, stick to your goals and have the knowledge in your heart that you are doing something for you. You have a better understanding and grasp on compassion than he…

I have recently tried coconut water flavored with lime. It is absolutely delicious, if you like the taste of coconut of course. The brand i found has a bit of agave syrup in it about 33 cal for 100ml - i do have to measure so that i don't 'splurge' on it. I would not recommend aloe juice which tasted really funny (in a bad…
