"keep running",...easy to say, right? If I REALLY dont get enough sleep/food, there's no way my muscles can be pep talked into "keep going". Usually I complain because Im trying to just make it through the workout, but its a swim so when I get slow, I mess up my breathing, and I squander and flop around like a hopeless…

Ideally, you could get a BodyMedia FIT or something like it to track your calories burned 24/7. You can sometimes find them cheap on Craigslist. Secondly, if you're on your feet all day, you are burning more calories. If you dont get a FIT, allow yourself to go over your calorie goal slightly on days you are running around…

Its your shoes. Play with the tightness/liners to give you more space.
-
1. Get out early in the morning to run 2. Plyometrics 3. Lift ..anything. Heavy books, small children, your neighbors dog Good luck!
-
Count on around 4-5 cals/minute....

If you use a HRM, then you're close on how many calories you burn during your workout. Id suggest something you wear 24/7 like the BodyMedia FIT to tell you how much you're burning ALL DAY. That's the other end of the equation right, how much you burn in a day? I only started losing weight when I tracked how much I was…

My 'fat' readings according to the caliper is low around my waist but higher when you measure by my shoulder blade..hence the need to try multiple places. Here's a picture guide: http://www.leighpeele.com/body-fat-pictures-and-percentages I think it's pretty good to estimate BF % from (visually). 11-15% BF for women is…

AMAZING! Way to go

Not sure about that water resistance, but 700 cal/hr is really high. My BodyMedia FIT (though not water resistant, can estimate very well how much I burn) says I burn 450/hr. It measures 500/hr cycling and 600/hr running, so that seems accurate.

I set up rewards for milestones, but you know what, I ended up preferring weekly pat on the backs for every pound I lost. I've bought clothes for work as a result (necessity) and the joy of getting smaller sizes was enough. But getting a motorcycle license etc is great!! They're fun :-P I guess my 'rewards' are the many…

Hi Mrs Cyclist. Fellow cyclist here (amongst other things).

Come on guys...play nice. She looks great. Thanks for sharing the AB WORKOUT because that's what the post was intended for...to teach us how to get great abs? :)

Probably those people would say they'd be ashamed of what people might think, which is usually because they secretly ashamed themselves. Usually they're mum because they want to 'get it over with' so they can stop lying or not-telling :)

Hard to tell without an open food diary. Usually I'm more awake after a morning workout (adrenaline) and it gets me through the day. Try caffeine or move your food calories around to make sure you have enough energy for your workout.

Found that mine went away with exercise and better nutrition. Awesome NSV
-
Try diet?
-
My BodyMedia FIT says 500 cals/hr burned for constant peddling at HR of 140 (moderate/high moderate)
-
1. Start low and slow 2. Add 1 cup of stubbornness and willpower.
-
I eat 300-400 cals 1.5 hrs before my workout. Half protein half whole wheat carb. My workout is ~1000 cal, so thats 1/3 of my work out cals eaten pre-workout with sufficient time to settle, but not so much time that I'll get hungry again.
-
I was ~130 at 5' 8" and wore a size 4. Def a good weight/range.
-
I run at the gym. Then, I have Netflx, Hulu Plus, MFP, and CNN to get me through it.
-
Hm if you want to lose weight faster, you need a higher deficit -> higher calorie burn....
-
I burn 500 cals/hr biking, 600 cals/hr running, 450/hr swimming, but I do 2-4 hours of it on a normal basis. That does it!! I wear a BodyMedia FIT...
-
Oh my leg/hip joint does that...and as I get into shape, they still do that. I wouldnt worry about it unless it hurts or pinches something
-
I have long workouts and I go batsh*t crazy without: Netflix (streaming), Hulu Plus, Youtube, CNN app, and MyFitnessPal If you just want music, try Slacker Radio Pro
-
Both plus being lower weight means you're moving less mass around.
-
BF %'s are only accurate given that for both readings you had the same body water %. This is a small fluctuation and it's probably negligible.
-
Interval sprints 2x/week, longer run 1/week, normal run/cross train/weights/day off for the rest.
-
I have a BodyMedia FIT and I go absolutely by what it says. MFP sometimes does not know what it's talking about. Sometimes it'll be 2x higher than what the FIT says I burned.

Proper training. i.e. needs to learn to not be all up in your biz. A good 'go lay down' is all it takes for our 1 yr old lab..
