Purchasing a Heart rate monitor will get you accurate calories burned. They can be pricey, but it is definitely worth it. :smile:

Feel free to add me :) I do try and keep my log updated everyday but sometimes on Sunday I space it out for the most part I eat pretty clean. I have a goal of 21 pounds to loose, but I do like to treat myself every now and again

yes, all of this can be extremly overwhemling. I have tried every "diet" out there! you name it, and I have done it. then of course I put the weight back on, somtimes even more. For me...the only way I could make healthy eating long term, and a LIFESTYLE change, was to prep all my meals for the week. every sunday I would…

Its a hard and slow progress. But any progress is better than none right? you can do it @fjones1971‌

Feel free to add me.... Will be 26 in JAN :)

Hello there, I just started back up with MFP again, and looking for motivation, accountability as well. please feel free to add me and we can both inspire each other :)

Dont be afraid =) Most machines have instructions on how to do the corrcect movement for each exercise. just pick a weight that is comfortable to do for reps. Not to hard and not to easy. Lifting weights...(in my opinion) is THE BEST and so MUCH FUN! And never be afraid to ask soneone, try finding a trainer at your gym to…

WINE!!! I miss my WINE....oh well its ALL worth it! =)

I agree with the oatmeal pancakes, they are really delish if you dont want to taste the egg whites. I LOVE egg wehites so I dont really have that problem. I find myself eating eggs for breakfast and dinner if I am coming home late, I just mix them with zucchini!

Good Luck to you!!! I cant wait to hear how you did!!!

Hi there! I have commited to do my first figure show in August! I am very VERY nervous! but I am also excited! I too, am playing arond with differnt approcahse in my diet to see what works best. I would love it if I could have more MFP ladies that are experienced or first time competitiors to be my PAL. I would love ALL…

I think that is awesome! everyone on here is Amazing supports/ motivation! best of luck to you :smile:

I set a new PR for Deadlifts Wednesday night....it is not 235! ya buddy!

I finally got my "Fran" (21-15-9 of thrusters and pull ups) down to 7 min. I know its not up there compared to most of yall, but my "Fran" used to always be up in the 10-11 min time frame!!

I just wanted to introduce myself! It awesome to have found this group!!! Feel free to friend me, I can ALWAYS use the motivation and would also love to support you all!

I love going to the gym twice a day as well, if my day allows it! Cardio in the morning, and then weights after work with the big boys!! =)

:smile: :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile: AMAZING

I just week one, day one yesterday morning! I think that I am going to like it, I am already sore just from that one workout :smile: Also, the diet that goes along with the program seems to be easy to stick to! Feel free to add me, and we can all support each other

:smile: Kettlebells....... = AMAZING!!!!!

I live in Alaska too!!!! I go to the store every sunday and I am LUCKY if I spend less than $200 on my grocery. And that is only on Fruits and Veggies =(

I am starting to add running into my exercise as well. Lifting and all that comes easy for me, but my stamina is at an all time low. I know I could get thru the WODs alot faster if I had better endurance.

Last night my WOD was "FRAN" 21-15-9 of Thursters and Pulls up UGH I am happy to say that I improved my time from the first time I did it. When I first did fran it took me 14:32! Last night I was able to complete it in 11:18 :smile: that workout it SO HARD for me lo but at least I am getting better time. I cant wait for…

I just found this site as well! Dont mean to itroduce myself on your page, but at the same time I would also like to say hello! I have only been doing Crossfit for about 4 months now! I am in LOVE with it! I dont know why I didnt start earlier! I hope to start competing in local competitions within the next year! Thank you…

Lol Maybe you are the one who needs to be in Alaska, and I need to be back there!

when I moved from Alaska to AZ my skin got so much better! that is interesting to hear that your skin is very dry there. Cetaphil is my new best friend. It is a little on the thick side but it works wonders. You can buy it anywhere! I know lotion doesnt not feel good in that HOT weather but to me it is worth it.....maybe…
