I love the sauna too and have taken to coming into work late just so I can add a session after my morning workouts. I would never log it though as I see it more as a way to cleanse and relax after a workout than as a calorie burning exercise. Enjoy!!

I LOVE EVEYTHING!! Alas - I wish there was something I didn't like but there just isn't. And even though I am a vegetarian that is due to my fondness for animals rather than a dislike for meat - when my boyfriend cooks a steak my mouth drools...just a little...maybe enough to wet my sleeve...mmmmmmmm

I make a citrus smoothy with any citrus fruits I have on hand (oranges, naartjies, grapefruit, etc) with lots of lemon juice and Sprite Zero. Coupled with an egg sandwitch it makes for a satisfying start to a nutrient deprived day.

I don't know if I read that right, but your calorie goal per day is only 1000 calories? and you don'y eat back your exercise calories? I am certainly no expert here but all the literature I have read says you should NEVER go below 1200 calories per day and you have to eat back your exercise calories in order to prevent the…

I try to log everything in the morning so that I know where I am headed. I pre-package breakfast, snacks, and lunch the night before so these are usually spot in when I log in the morning and that lets me play with recipes during the day that I would like for dinner so I know exactely what is going on. I do add on anything…

I am one of those unfortunates that cannot keep track of my calorie count if it is not right there in front of me - same with money. If something says it is only 100 calories I am like "oooohh - i am gonna eat that 'cause I have soooo many calories left" and then 20 of those 100 calorie snacks later I have no clue how much…

That is so amazing and well done on working so hard for your incredible body! Thanks for those words or encouragement - it just proves that no matter what, if you are working hard something is changing. I will definitely start focusing more on measurements and visable results than on my scale.

Off to change my profile pic just as soon as I have done with thanking you for all the amazing advice! Will also (finally) clean my cupboards and get in some healthy snacks. The office is my worst time and because I have no healthy snacks here and it often ends badly. Thanks again - be sure to check out the new profile pic…

Thank you all for the help!! I think the most amazing thing about this site is the support and understanding that comes with it. No where else would I be able to be so open and honest and still get helpful and useful advice from so many. I think the biggest thing I am taking away is to have one 'off' day a week where i…

No - I don't find it offensive at all. In fact I think you are the one being slightly obnoxious in expecting them to change their eating habits for you. I am a vegetarian and would love a world in which no cute, furry, amazing animals are harmed in the making of delicious food, but alas this is something I cannot change…

Sorry to say it, but I think your calories per day are too high. I am also 5'3" and my daily calorie intake is 1200, but I do eat back my exercise calories when I have them. My calorie intake was calculated via MFP and I am slowly but surely loosing the weight. Try lower your calorie intake.

find a gym buddy - I am soooo not a morning person and find it exceedingly difficult to wake up before 7am especially what with it going into winter here in SA. I find that having my friend as a gym buddy makes me feel guilty if she goes and I dont - like she might loose weight faster or look better or just be a better…
