Hello! I (re) started at 183 and weighed in at 175 ish this morning. Looking to get to 135. Welcome back.

On my couch. :) Go bears!!

Try breading a chicken breast and baking it. Also try baking your own french fries.

Doing ChaLean for the second time. I love it. :)

Ok so... what happens to the "not stored energy" when you don't use it all up during the day? Does it just run away? No. If it did, then we wouldn't be overweight in the first place. It may be true that you burn a higher ratio of sugar/carbs to fat stores at high intensity, but its still a form of energy for your body (aka…

I second this.

I find that sometimes I eat out of boredom or my body thinks its hungry when I am really just thirsty My solution: A water bottle. I always have one at my desk and at home. Usually when I want to snack or eat when I know I am not supposed to be hungry, I drink about half a bottle of water. If I am still hungry after that,…

Dear Planet Fitness, I can't run. I just can't! It makes me so uncomfortable when people run on the tradmills next to me while I am walking. Can you please do somehting about all this lunking? Signed, An unhappy member Attention: The treadmills in all Planet Fitness Gyms will now no longer exceed 3.5 mph. Thank you. Enjoy…

:drinker: :flowerforyou: :love: :happy:

Going on a cruise in April. It's definately my motivation right now!

You just blew so many minds!

I love it when people flip out about "chemicals" being in their foods. Guess what....... Water = chemical. Chemicals are literally the worst. Science.

skinnytaste.com emilybites.com Both really good and also include nutrition info (at least calories).

Same here. Lost like 60 lbs at the start of it all and managed to gain 30 of it back in 2013. Never a bad day to get back on the wagon! We got this! :)

^This. It makes it easier for you and others to not have to make something specific for yourself. Eat what every one else is eating but eat slow and eat less. I have been known to think "well im on vacation, so *kitten* it... Ill eat what I want" and it always ends up eating WAY too much and feeling horrible about it. Just…

I second the suggestion for Chalean Extreme! I love her. I am about to start the program again since I took some time off lifting to train for a half marathon. She is great and super motivating. Good luck! :)

Um... True and False.. From my experience, it is not good to do the SAME exercise without rest. I was training for a half marathon and ended up injuring myself during my training months because I wasn't allowing my body to rest and recover. That being said, as long as you switch it up and use different muscles, then go for…

So the original WW system did have points for those foods. They changed their system to motivate people to eat more natural fruits and veggies by making them 0 points and increasing the points for other foods (ever notice that the "old" points on most foods with the points on the label is always at least 1 pt lower that…

So... I was training for a half marathon and was running a heck of a lot more than I was before. I started having knee pain too. Ran on it for a while, but then it literally brought me to tears when I would take a step. Decided to go to an orthopedic doctor. X-ray results: nothing... so they told me to get an MRI. Turns…

Honestly, I woke up one day and thought "yea I can do this" when I was thinking about doing the C25K program. We had a weightloss competition at work and I wanted to add more cardio to my workouts. I mentioned it to my friends and they wanted to join. If they wouldn't have done it with me, I probably would have never…

That or if you have a HRM, you can enter your own cals burned by creating an exercise.

phenomenal!

I absolutely have that problem when I log too. It got so bad, I had to stop logging. I have been at this for a while so I have a pretty good idea about portion sizes and healthy options now, so basically I decide what I am going to eat for the day and THEN log it. If its over in cals, I take something out or work out to…

Farmers Markets can be a life saver!

Good mornings and dead lifts are good too!

My mom just turned 50 and people think shes still pretty hot! :drinker:

I am literally in love with her. I am doing the Total Body Revolution for the second time right now. I have a lot of her other ones too which are all amazing. Ripped in 30 is awesome! If you wanna just try her out, go on youtube or get a single dvd at target or something (the TBR is kinda expensive). Good luck!! :)
