She loves red lipstick! ( I totally dig that shade! :) )

Aw, man. Now I feel like I need a fancy ticker..lol

Oh, wow. That's a huge difference! Good point. I guess I should just listen to my body and worry less about what my watch says, haha. I really use it moreso to track my calorie burn.

Oh my goodness, that's good to hear. Haha. I try not to worry myself about it too much but that seemed really high, but if a trainer is telling you to push yourself to that then I feel a bit better about it. :drinker: I usually only hit that when I start to get about halfway through my second mile or so. I used to think…

Hmmm...while working out (running) I've had my HR go up to the 180's and even 190 once (according to my Polar FT7) but that scared me so I scaled it back a bit. Now I'm wondering if that's normal.. D:

Yeah, I'd like to know that too...lol :flowerforyou:

I drink more often than that (...I'm 24, so sue me...lol) and have lost and still losing. :) Just stay within your deficit, I really doubt a spot of wine here or there is going to have that serious of an impact as long as you're not chugging a bottle a night and log it honestly. :)

Best- gorgeous girl!! Worst- nothing I can see!

Howdy! :) Benita, 24, Texas. I've lost 17 lb so far, looking to lose (rough estimate since I've never been small..) another 30-35 lbs but that could change as I go on. I understand that the number on the scale is not necessarily indicative of how someone will look due to BF% and so as I gain muscle and lose fat I'll be ok…

Looks like we've got a trend of just all around good looking people here on MFP! :) Lol. I can't say handsome, beautiful, etc because your pic is of popeye and betty boop, but because of that simple fact I'm gonna say AWESOME. Lol.

Awwh, Thank you! :smile:

Right now I feel like I look like about the 25% picture, but I'd love to look like the 18% one!! :love: Not sure what my percentage is right now exact though, just estimating.

Beautiful! :)

I'm with everyone here. I love beer and fireball whiskey and I wouldn't think of giving it up as a "sustainable" lifestyle. Sure, I know it's not nutrient dense nor is it necessarily helping me lose weight haha but some days I need a little rest and relaxation and a nice cold beer is the ticket. I just log it ( and log it…

Looks like a nice guy

Chill

Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous!!! :) And I love your expression in the "after" photo. You look ready to kick some tail!!! Lol. Absolutely amazing and inspiring. Keep up the awesome work!!

I'm right there with you, I keep thinking to myself maybe the dryer somehow ruined the fabric in all my clothing and somehow they aren't REALLY looser (even though I have to wear belts with them now or they fall right down!). It's crazy what we tell ourselves. I can't imagine what it's going to be like once I hit my goal.…

Yup, log it and move on. There are days (usually my "date days" with my g/f) that I end up over, and I just log it honestly (no matter how much it makes me cringe haha) and plan to go back to normal the next day. You can't think of it as a diet, it has to be a lifestyle change and let's be honest- do you really plan to…

YES! Love these!! And now I have to try these Thinkthin bars AND try microwaving the quest bars a smidge....that sounds so good.... My favorite is cookies and cream. YUM!!

Thank you both for your replies! I'll look a bit more into starting strength... the hard part for me will be doing only 3 exercises each workout! Lol. But I know 5x5 has an app too that will make it super convenient so I know how much I should be lifting/rest times/etc.

Definitely keeping tabs on this thread for the useful info. :) I really love lifting but right now all I do are the machines... I don't know how to do alot of the free weight exercises correctly I feel like, and at risk of injury ( or making a fool of myself...heh :embarassed: ) I have stuck with the machines where I can…

Just read the manual online and I'm going to look in to the gel. Thanks!! :)

Oh wow, I didn't think the sensor was strong enough to carry that far! That's fantastic! That may be almost accurate then because I'm a bit heavier than you (5"5', 157 lbs) so I know the lighter we get typically the less calories burned. Good to know though! Now I'm excited to try it out on my next swim!

What is the electrode gel? I'm so scared to swim with it! Haha. It wasn't cheap and I'm a little nervous to put any of it under water. I'm gonna have to look at the manual (not that I don't trust that you're telling the truth, I just want to double check. :) ) That would be amazing if I could get an accurate count of my…

Hmm..MFP shows it burning 1,139 cal when I log it and this swimfit site shows it burning 1,173. :/ Guess maybe I am burning a ton of calories?... Ugh. I need a waterproof HRM. Lol. :ohwell:

See, the opposite was true for me when I was using the HRM sensors on the gym equipment. I got my Polar FT7 expecting to have it tell me I wasn't burning what I thought I was but instead it told me I was burning more! But I think it's just because my HR gets so high because some days I really don't feel like I've burned…

I'm on day 2 of 30DS! I would ADORE support as I really don't have it coming from anywhere but MFP, and I can already tell this is gonna get TOUGH. O.O Let's all be hella sore together! Lol

I would love some new friends! :) Feel free to add me!

Yep. Lupus here too. :/ Definitely makes things tougher, huh guys? Pretty sure I added all of you, lol. I need more friends who understand. :/
