Pretty much sums up what i wouldve said.

Pizza!

I just finished C25K and wasnt a runner before it. my advice, you dont have to buy the most expensive shoes, i bought a pair of rebook sublites running shoes for about 45 bucks at dunhams after trying a bunch on, they are very light and comfy. I also recommend moisture wicking clothes. As far as actually doing the C25K,…

I bought the full version to have all the programs, it's worth it to me. Because I plan on doing them.

Talk to your doctor. Mine set my target for me, which is actually more then what most think is "healthy" i have about 50lbs to lose still and people tell me i dont need to lose any more, its ridiculous. if you're good where you're at and its a healthy weight then stay there, if you want to lose a few more lbs and its still…

i tried a bunch and settled with rundouble. it syncs with fitnesspal and it has a bunch of options like being able to do timed C25K or distance C25K (which i used because i did it outside) it also has 5K time improver, 5K to 10K bridge, and couch to 10K.

I dont reward myself for doing something i shouldve been doing all along. i think it leads me back to bad habits that im trying to break. at the end of the day my reward is knowing im possibly adding days/months/years onto my life.

I deal with a "cheat" day by going back to normal the following day. like memorial day i celebrated my friends birthday with his family, had a mess of spare ribs, and all the sides, along with dessert and beers. went back to my schedule the next day. took me 3 days to get back down where i was previous on the scale but im…

I'm Ashamed to Admit i use to order order so much fast food on my way to work i'd order an extra drink just so the person at the window might think it was for 2 people and i wasnt eating it all myself.

I do my own research from multiple sources and draw my own conclusions. a lot of people on here make statements and post information about a topic like its fact when its really just an opinion or misinformation from a website thats not credible, same people that probably like/share posts on facebook because it says to.

my .02 just count your calories, dont do the fad low carb diets and you'll hit your goal. from my experience when i've cut out foods i love and have tried wonky diets, i've failed. not only did i fail i did exactly what you did, go bananas on bad food. i did the adkins diet before losing 72 lbs, i stopped and gained 84…

The first person i heard it from was two coworkers, one is a drug/alcohol addict male whose sickly skinny, and the other is a female coworker who had lap band surgery, the lap band surgery one threw me for a loop because she use to be big!

I want to do a 5k race this summer. i have heard people say that about just doing 10k to improve 5k time. the main reason i want to do the time improver first is because i have limited time (about an hour) to run/workout before work, i figured if i could start by getting 25-30 minutes for a 5k i would have more time to…

ran a 5k, now im going to go work on an automotive assembly line for 10.5 hrs, which includes about 5-6 miles of walking just doing my job.

just ran it again today, improved my time. saturday wasnt a fluke :D

every morning after I use the bathroom. also sometimes multiple times throughout the day because my scale is in the bathroom. I just like to see trends and fluctuations my body goes through.

exactly, your body is burning calories all the time, which is your BMR. the calories you burn with exercise add to your BMR, so if for instance your BMR is 2000 (calories you burn a day without exercise) and you eat 1800 calories, you're at a 200 calorie deficit. so when you work out on top of that it creates a bigger…

also my cousing has had a lot of success toning with yoga, low impact ftw!

Just did, wasnt being a creep about it :P

Have a lot of explaining to do with the wife

it's one of the plans in the rundouble app that i used for C25K, its supported by MFP. it's a 13 week plan, you run 3-4x a week, every other run is a full 5k, the other days you do intervals where you push your pace, then break.

I'm with the HRM crowd, MFP over-estimates my burn, and machines under-estimate it for me. I think i've read you can figure about 100 calories burned per 10 minutes of workout. thats closer to my HRM then any apps or MFP.

for underarms you could do triceps exercises. this might help http://www.realsimple.com/health/fitness-exercise/workouts/best-triceps-exercises-00100000089554/

It's been a pain the *kitten* for me, i've lost about 5 pants sizes and 2-3 shirt sizes in the last 8 months and cant wear anything i had and donated it all (about 7 garbage bags from my closet), hopefully the clothes i just bought for summer will last through the summer.

Cheese head :P

The funny thing is when they ask for advice or how im doing it, a lot of times when i say im counting calories, they say "oh thats too hard" I just think WTF did you think i did that was so easy to do that everyone does it?

Left is from 2012, i was about 90 lbs heavier then the picture on the right i took about 2 weeks ago.

Yes, you can put all the ingredients in the recipe, then figure out serving sizes by that. at least thats what i've done for some homemade things, its a little time consuming depending on amount of ingredients but if you use it a lot its worth it.

when i first started MFP i discovered how many calories i was eating at fast food places on my way to work.. i was disgusted with myself to say the least, i was eating in one stop more calories then i eat in an entire day now.

I do 2 things, exercise some to get calories back or dont eat. thats if im logging that day. if im away for a weekend and eating out a lot and not logging, i dont worry about it and just go back to normal logging when i get home.
