I'd like to try it, but mostly because I have danced (all different types) for a good portion of my life :) Though I broke my ankle badly in three places about a year ago, and my dance moves aren't quite as great anymore with the lack of flexibility in the ankle. All of the classes at my gym just don't seem to be very…

This has happened to me multiple times as well! I get to about 140 (GW is 135) and think, well I'm fitting in my clothes now, I'm mostly the size I want to be and feel pretty good, so then I start to get lax. Well we all know what happens when we get lax! That's why I've been such a darn yoyo! I did really well for about 2…

Sweet I got on the top burns list! And I actually ended up skating more then I initially logged because they let us on an hour early, so my actual calorie burn total for yesterday was 1389! Not sure if I am going to be working out today...which will be a shame becasue I am 95 calories away from goal :) Maybe I'll just take…

A kinda random one for me is non dairy creamer (the powdered stuff). A teaspoon is tiny and barely colors the darn coffee! I know that it won't make much of a difference if I'm eating a little under, but underestimating that (I drink A LOT of coffee) could end up being a problem if I'm using 5 teaspoons (50 cals) in each…

i've been doing a little bit of both as well. I definitely prelog as much as I can during the week because it keeps me accountable. But of course I tweak if I need to. Like last night I had a bunch of snacks planned for after roller derby practice, but I ended up having a few slices of pizza afterwards (whoops!) but I was…

Added :) Also anyone on this thread feel free to add me as well.

The only one I've tried so far is the vanilla almond and I really like it. I especially like that the ingredients list is so small and natural! And they fill me up for HOURS which is awesome too. Great replacement for my previous breakfast choice that's for sure. I haven't checked what they cost at GNC or the vitamin…

I am sooo not against saving calories for alcohol :) As long as I stay in a deficit (and am honest about how much I've drank) then I will still lose (and have still lost weight). I make allowances for the things that I enjoy, as well you should, because no one can sustain themselves with zero treats ever...or maybe some…

I could never manage to get into running honestly, though I've thought this program sounded interesting. Another question though, I've had a severe ankle injury about a year ago (broke all three bones, dislocated, surgery/hardware the whole nine yards!), now I kind of look like I'm galloping if I try to run. Is it probably…

So annoying! Same problem... Skull Candy has over the ear ones that are working PERFECTLY for me :) Love them!

Another great website for info on lifting heavy and routines is http://www.aworkoutroutine.com/workout-routines-for-women i'm using the beginner 3 day full body split alternating between two workouts and I'm really liking it so far (though I wouldn't necessarily say I can see results yet, it's too early!) It's SUPER simple…

1.10 miles swimming and 3.8 miles on the elliptical today at the gym. Have NO idea how to track distance while I play roller derby tonight but I'm sure that would put me over on miles LOL, but I'm just going to count swimming and elliptical for now.

Day 1 - 371 calories (elliptical and weights) Day 2 - 530 (elliptical) Day 3 - 491 (elliptical and weights) Day 4 - 58 calories (walking) Day 5 - 677 calories (elliptical/weights am and swimming pm) Day 6 - 1185 calories (elliptical/swimming am and Roller Derby practice pm) Total: 3312 Left: 188 Almost there with one more…

CORRECTION: I did some more swimming yesterday afternoon. Day 1 - 371 calories (elliptical and weights) Day 2 - 530 (elliptical) Day 3 - 491 (elliptical and weights) Day 4 - 58 calories (walking) Day 5 - 677 calories (elliptical/weights am swimming pm) Total: 2127 Left: 1373 Thanks!

I just started watching the calories and exercising at the gym 5 to 6 days a week and scale hasn't moved much for me either, but my hubby thought I looked smaller, especially in the waist area. That could just be from drinking water again and losing the belly bloat, but hey I'll take it! I need to start measuring myself,…

This is totally one of my fitness goals as well! My arms/shoulders/upper body is just not strong enough to lift my 155 pound body :) Funny thing is, even when I was in the best shape of my life I STILL couldn't do one! I will definitely look in to some of these suggestions. One of these days!!!

Day 1 - 371 calories (elliptical and weights) Day 2 - 530 (elliptical) Day 3 - 491 (elliptical and weights) Day 4 - 58 calories (walking) Day 5 - 566 calories (elliptical and weights) Total: 2016 Left: 1484 Just got a heart rate monitor and the calorie burned is WAAAY lower then what the machines said. Which is really sad.…

Day 1 - 371 calories (elliptical and weights) Day 2 - 530 (elliptical) Day 3 - 491 (elliptical and weights) Day 4 - 58 calories (walking) Total: 1450 Left: 2050

4 miles elliptical today

That pic was taken at a mindless self indulgence concert how appropriate!

Drink cheap wine and watch horror movies while gossiping

Where do you get the Nike ones? I'm a 32 DD and definitely need the support as well!

OMG Love that movie! Even after my son has made me watch it 50+ times :)

Did the weight jump up one day or has it been gradually increasing? Water retention can be a huge issue for us ladies, and perhaps that is all you are experiencing and it will work itself out if you drink a lot of water and maybe cut caffeine if you haven't already. It could be a combination. I second the person who asked…

Most of the reason why I don't do classes that often is because I can't stand the normal music that is on their playlists :) This is my playlist for my roller derby practices when I coach, but I've been using it while on the elliptical as well. Beat My Guest - Adam & the Ants Brute - KMFDM Blood - KMFDM Cars (Fear Factory…

I am going through the same thing right now!!! I really really want to get better tracking tools for calories burned and my general energy expenditure and have been going back and forth between the fitness trackers and a HRM... My big thing is I would really like to get an accurate (enough) calorie burn for when I play…

Testing my ticker real quick.

August 1st - 2.80 miles (Elliptical) August 2nd - 3.8 miles (Elliptical) 23.4 miles to go!
