Got it....So confusing...all these terms...I think I'll just stick with my deficit and push forward a lil at a time. My victory for the day was getting out of the 220's once again. Up down up down...as long as the downward trend keeps going I'll be ok. But this loss gave me a push to get up and go. So I'm going to run with…

Ok...I read and read and still cant wrap my head around this whole BMR & TDEE thing...Ive tried different calculators with different results. It has done nothing but confuse me. I'm 5'10, 39, 220, and basically have a desk job. Any help would be appreciated. I would post in the normal section but lately people have been so…

I would like to join if it is not too late

anyone can add me too cmr3399@gmail.com

You made me giggle today. Boy did I ever need it. Thru my ups and downs of losing and gaining my belly is always what seemed to gain the most over and over. I can't fit into clothes now that I fit into 20lbs heavier simply because my belly seemed to gain most of the excess fat this time around. So honestly without heavy…

Great updates!!!! Sorry to hear about the knee. Keep at it. "if only I could take my own advice. Sometimes it's easier said than done I guess. I need to make a plan this week as well and stick to it. At least 4 days at the gym or home workouts is the plan. I think this will be my mini goal for the week. Hope the knee feels…

What a crazy 5 days it has been. Thursday after work I received a phone call that they were rushing the boyfriend from work to the hospital. They originally thought heart attack or stroke. Now after days of me sleeping in a horrid chair and living off of burnt coffee and horrid hospital cafeteria food nobody can signal out…

Once you start let me know how it goes :-)

My goal is to lose 3 by the 20th as well

I use Aqua Zumba...started last week and love it. I need to have a double knee replacement soon so basic classes are a no no if I don't want to be in even more agony then I already am daily. But as for the aqua class, I love it. I feel the burn but no added stress on the knees. I would definitely recommend. Good Luck!!!!

Thank you @totaldetermination, this is very good advice. I really need to just learn to push thru and realize that i'm human...I will slip up and when I do don't use it as an excuse to fall off the wagon. So far so good I must say. I do get a bit frustrated, I over eat by a few calories or make a not so good choice and…

swimsuitsforall.com Is a great one....I went to that site for a few suits...I have the same issue but its from large gains and losses...along with 3 kids..I found a awesome suit to hold everything in place for aqua classes and a cute one for my trip to Jamaica... go take a peek

GREAT PROGRESS...I need to start taking pictures, seeing the change will help my push!

Weekends are rough for me too. I tend to be so much more structured during the week. This is something I am working big time on. I am a little obsessive about the scale as well. Some days I weigh 2 times a day...then the week of my TOM I realized I need to completely stay off because it never reflects a proper number and…

Thank You <3

My new found love...Aqua Zumba...all the fun of regular Zumba but in the pool so it soooo much easier on my horrible knees. Started last week. Felt awesome the next day...could really feel the workout which was great, and I didn't have to stop half way thru because my knees were crying to stop. I think for now this will be…

It's so great to hear positive reports. Gives me a bit more pep in my step as well. The next thing on my list as well is finding workout gear, maybe if I find workout gear I feel good in I will feel a bit more positive about as you put it putting more health in my day. Hope you have a great one. Congrats on your successes.…

Thank You....my inner voice is a hard thing not to listen to. I'm trying..baby steps...as for the gym...that was my main gripe. I asked someone for help..and they claimed I had to pay extra for it. I think that is what changed my mood completely. I think I will go to management or a different trainer and ask the same…

I'm really not sure how to do this but I really need a mentor as well. 39 5'10 cw 218 with about 50lbs to lose. Really need support.

Wow...you seriously are an inspiration. Congrats on the inches lost. I'm glad you are recovering one step at a time. Hope you don't mid I'm going to be a super Lurker on your Journal. I find it very motivating. I Hope Valentine's Day is a Good one for you. I told the BF ..actually BEGGED him to not incorporate a meal or…

I'm trying to give up negative thinking as well....I would like being kinder to myself and more gym time. I really need to be less critical of myself. I think it is part of my downfall.

Gym intimidation..... yes...I'm going there...Is it only me who walks into the gym and instantly feels self conscious? My gym even has a "Womens Only" room. I figure hey..I'll be safe in there. No big bad men giving me the stink eye saying what is this fluffy chick trying to attempt. But NO. I walk in... there are women…

Great Start....You have this!!!!! Love your Quote idea. I think I'm going to try using that more often!!!!
