Buuuump.

*shrugs* I try to stay out of the red in the sugar and sodium categories. Carbs aren't really a worry for me yet, but I wouldn't want to go over on that either. Even then, I haven't worried unless it's been consistently hitting red (like my stupid sugar intake).

I'm borrowing it from a friend, are you doing the beginner schedule or the advanced? I'm thinkinh beginner for myself.

Cool beans, I want in on this. Current: 216 Goal:125 But I'm starting Turbo Jam today.

That's exactly what got me into trouble before I joined here. To me, it's been awesome to actually eat and be losing, where I used to be a bigger B and deal with headaches from practically starving myself. I would lose drive from exhaustion. I just remember that when I think about how much I've lost, and remember that…

Just this last weigh in I lost almost 6lbs and I started my workout this week so I'm not going to weigh myself for two weeks while I build up a routine and get accustomed. Otherwise if I see the scale fluctuate too much I may be discouraged.

I'm going to pass on the 200 situps. I have a friend lending me Turbo Jam, and I have some boxing gloves I should put to use... on my boyfriend. Just kidding. Don't kill me.

Usually the groups here have specific names to encourage certain people with similar interests or situations to group together. I hadn't found The John Connor Resistance though, so I guess this one works. :P

I'm down.

My daughter is the reason I've finally kicked my own butt into gear, she's still young and I don't want her to remember an unhealthy mommy.

Not something I would do, but off topic real quick, PUERTO RICO! Woot!

Allrecipes.com is amazing. Try looking there.

Depends on how hot you want it. I add jalapeno and serrano peppers when I want a kick. You can seed them so it isn't as spicy , but I usually go half and half. I'll also put diced tomatoes, white or green onions, cilantro, and lime juice. Very light on sea salt.

Change the img's to lowercase. :D

I chose 125 because of my height (5'2") and in relative to my sister's weight. She's about 1 inch taller and wighes about 120. She has no boobs though, and I want to keep mine.

I just dealt with this this morning, my boyfriend is going a different route in fitness and he saw my breakfast this morning and tried to tell me it wasn't enough. I showed him my log, and told him I'm not exercising yet so that's why it seems small. Just be open with your man, and show him the calorie count. Numbers don't…

Incorrect sir! The T-Virus is derived from leeches, where the Rage was discovered in primates. I'm expecting a Terminator invasion before zombies at this point though.

Since I've started changing my diet, I have lost about 8 pounds in four weeks. I don't exercise, but that doesn't mean I don't plan to. Without getting super explanatory, I believe that exercise is the part that boosts your metabolism from what it has been used to.

You have asked the question that shall bring the war of eating exercise calories to you doorstep. You've been warned.

I have a different take, I won't get my second tattoo finished until I'm at goal weight because I believe the art needs to be accentuated by a healthy body. I don't think anyone wants to see my rolls as the art frame.

MFP doesn't reflect my total weight loss, since I started on March 13th. I've basically lost 8.2 lbs since starting, and I haven't started my exercise routine yet. Because I stick to where my calorie intake suggests, I keep my deficit at a point where I'm losing the correct amount per week. I've done the lower calories and…

Gonna go on a limb and say that people are going to respond by saying that you need to be eating your exercise calories.

I have just one kid and I gained A LOT. But I'm also the put up or shut up type, and I don't sugar coat. You can add me if you need that type of kick in *the butt. I'll be happy to oblige. :D

I remember when I would practice in high school swim. When you would swim fifty yards, you would time yourself with the clock, and then work to lower the time. We were at least supposed to maintain a minute and twenty seconds or lower on 50 yds. Do the math per 50 and try to lower that time. Take 5 second breaks between…

@Amanda- I think that may have been your catalyst for thyroid problems if you think that, but that doesn't say everyone will have that. my mother and step father were nowhere near any type of soy in their diets and both of them have thyroid issues.

Bump :)

Less fat, you're probably noticing excess skin?

Call your doctor's office, there should be a physician on call who can answer that for you. Since no one here knows your medical history or specifics of what your doctor suggested, it's best to go to the source.

Jessica Alba is mine, I've always dug her work in Dark Angel and I've read somewhere that she's very aware of what she eats and her exercise. I'm on my cell so I don't have a photo to post but I will later. :)
