@Laura, omgosh there should be more people like you on here. Most people shove their opinions down your throat and tell you you're doing it wrong. I love how you support finding the right balance for yourself. Everyone is different, and probably needs and wants different things. That's what I believe, what works for me…

I did an arms workout today. I couldn't even finish it. I spent a good majority of my time today looks at fitness websites, seeing what experts and gurus have to say on the subject. Scooby talks about the importance of cardio. That makes me feel good because that is my main focus. I just feel reaffirmed that I have a good…

@shanabar omgoodness that does not sound right at all. But I have always heard the dunk test is the most accurate. Dang numbers... Today, is going to be a good day. I can feel it. Last night I put the most effort into strength training that I have done in awhile, so it felt good and I think it paid off. This morning I felt…

So many videos like that out there! Although I don't do strength training like that, I like the songs those videos have and I started making a playlist to workout to when I go back to school in a couple weeks.

Looks like everyone's week started off alright. I got a few hours of manual labor in this morning, so I took advantage of that with two breakfasts. Feel so full, hope that feeling lasts most of the day. I have been doing better at getting in more exercise time, instead of being satisfied with half of what I want to do in a…

Ugh fall semester seems so close and I seem to be getting further and further away from how I want to look for school. Plus, I still have no idea what kind of workout routines I will do. It is either run around town, or the school track, but I would really want a heart rate monitor to better track my calories since I know…

It has been going pretty well for me too. Exercise has become a daily part of my routine. Logging is second nature, I automatically make mental notes when I am not around my computer, to log when I am out and about. The only thing that is hard, is getting strength training in. It absolutely exhausts me and my only…

Happy birthday April! Happy Monday to everyone else! After a disappointing week last week, I decided I will give my normal routine one more shot and see if the scale moves in the right direction this time. Next week, if I am still not happy, it will time to reevaluate my lifestyle. Then, when school starts again, I know I…

This week, I am aiming for <9500 calories. This time I took into account eating back half of my calories burned from exercise. We will see how this week goes. Hopefully, better than last week.
-
I think I get a "gold" star because my goal was <9300 and I was 139 over with 9439

Today was such a lazy day, I should have done some workout earlier. But as always, I will end up getting it in before bed. I found out how little calories are in spinach and tomatoes today haha I was trying not to leave too many calories for dinner tonight so I though I would be healthy and make myself a salad, barely…

Happy Saturday to you too:) I just completed a fat burning workout on the stationary bike. I feel good because it is still the middle of the day. I didn't put off my workout til late at night. Though I will do some more so that I am tired and can fall asleep at a decent hour. Tomorrow is weigh ins so I need to be up early…

Sooooooo frustrated. Mr. Scale is p*ssy this week and keeps inching up. Luckily it is a slow and gradual increase but an increase all the same. And I'm just like wwwwhhhhhhhhhyyyyyyyyyy????? However, not losing my resolve just yet, I am still motivated enough to try to turn this around. My online classes are over for the…

clean eating: 1) no alcohol 2) no sugary desserts 3) LOTS of water 4) always below calorie goal (including one-half of calories burned from exercise)

Thanks Laura. I feel better knowing I'm not the only one. All those calories late in the day did take a toll on me though. I find that quitting eating earlier, and exercising earlier show more results. Which goes along with me being so freaking exciting to get my summer classes done today, so I'm not spending so much time…
-
So, I have had two unhealthy days in a row. Today, will probably make number three. But I am blaming it on the stress of finals. Tomorrow I will have no excuse! In fact I will probably celebrate end of class by working out even harder so I am a sexy SOB when fall semester starts. I am still refusing to let all of my time…
-
shanabar - no, keep my calories the same. next week I'll do a better job at calculating calories, hopefully I will know what I am doing by then Ugh tonight is going to be busy! First off, I absolutely can't miss big brother. Maybe I will do homework while I watch because I have two finals and two term papers due tomorrow.…
-
Ugh I am so tired. I spent over five hours in a hay field today. Missed lunch, so I ate the majority of my calories in the past hour. It is hard to measure how much exercise I got since everything is stop and go. So I will probably have to work out tonight, just to make sure I burned off all those extra calories I ate. I…

Hi guys. I got in some good workouts yesterday. I feel like I am sweating more. So that is good. I got in a full cardio workout last night. I made up my mind to do strength training in the morning, I just can never find the will power to do anything first thing in the morning. But this morning I did abs! Grrr, it is…

Yesterday, I officially decided to eat back half of the calories I burn during my cardio sessions. So, now I'm thinking it is less than likely I will win a platinum star for the week. I made my calorie goal before I made up my mind about eating calories back. But I had been doing a lot of research about healthy ways to…
-
I quite agree with the above statement. Just gotta power through the last few pounds like it's a brick wall. I tried googling how to lose the last few pounds and the only thing I remember is to watch out for calorie dense foods. Bananas and grapes in particular, although healthy and good for you, have a lot of calories for…

Hi! I'm Jessi, I'm from Iowa but I will be attending school in Missouri in a few weeks. I have reached my goal weight, so my new goals are to not gain the weight back while at school, and to lower my body fat percent by about two percentage points in the 31 days. My favorite sin food would be chocolate and chocolate…

shanabar - my goals are < 9300 calories per week other goals would be: 1) drink only water everyday 2) try to work out earlier in the evening so I can fit more cardio in 3) start strength training at least three days a week 4) not be disappointed when I gain weight for that time of the month
