Same for me. I've wondered if TDEE goes hand in hand with heavy lifting, or if it works with a cardio heavy exercise routine (I do strength, but not heavy lifting - yet - as it is understood on these boards.)?

I use 5, 8, 10 and 15, depending on the exercise.

Wear white/bright clothing, wear a headlamp & reflective vest or straps, carry pepper spray & your phone and CHANGE YOUR ROUTE! I see the same people when I'm out running early, but that would freak me out. Be safe!!!!

5'4", CW 148, GW~130 Add me for sure!! I'm here every day. :flowerforyou:

I've just finished Level 1 of 30DS and lost 1 pound and 3 inches total. I also run 2-3 times a week (3-4 miles each run). I'm planning on doing RI30 when I'm done with 30DS. (Also, just in the last week, I've doubled the number of push ups I can do!)

Sometimes after a workout I can get away with not washing it--I try to make those the days that I go to the trouble of straightening it. But honestly that's pretty rare. Usually I wash every other day and just use conditioner on the non-wash days. My hair usually ends up in a bun anyway. ETA--Where do you find dry shampoo?…

I've never experienced Bodyglide staining, and I use it everywhere chafing may occur. Bodyglide gets my vote. Give your nips some TLC in the meantime. :bigsmile:

Awesome & inspiring! I've got similar (starting) stats and similar goals. Thanks for the reminder that it is possible!!

That's what I'm doing right now too--hope I get results half of what you got!

I had the same problem last week with Pho Ga. Bowl is probably 3-4 cups, more rice noodles than necessary (but I eat them all anyway).....after some random internet searches I settled on something like 1300, hoping it was an overestimate. And the sodium was WAY higher than I would have liked.

I use an arm band--I've gotten used to what I can and can't access. I've heard *many* stories of ruined phones after too many runs in a bra, though never experienced it myself--seems way too uncomfortable to me. SPI belts are another option.

Looking at your profile and what you've posted here, my opinion (totally not a professional) is that you may benefit from having someone like a counselor to help you through some of the issues you have surrounding your weight and your body image. You are young and have time and youth on your side. You have already made…

I try to be out of bed and working out (DVDs these days, running if I'm training for a race) by 4:45am. I've also started trying to get in a run a couple times a week during my lunch hour. At night, I'm usually in bed before 9. I am very very lucky to have a super husband who is supportive and incredibly helpful at home (I…

Today is day 7 for me. I'm finding Level 1 to be not especially challenging for me, although I do sweat my butt off. Looking forward to Level 2 in a few days. ^^Haha, this! My husband and I laugh that I'm working out with "that b****" again. And, you really can't beat a 20 minute workout. It makes it a lot harder to bog…

When I remember, I take chelated iron, calcium/mag/D, B complex, and glucosamine/chondroitin and wash it all down with Emergen-C. I think it helps....?

YES

I''ve been using MFP's "calisthenics, vigorous" and also wearing an HRM. The MFP estimate is above my HRM--I've been averaging about 160 cals for 30DS level 1. btw, I am 37yoF, 5'4", 149 lbs.

d gets me every time. I hate that! So glad someone else understands! Adding you--love the sense of humor!

Accuse her of trying to fatten you up so that she can eat you later, like the witch in Hansel & Gretel.

My husband went through this this past summer--2 ruptured discs L5 & S1. He did massage, acupuncure, lots of pain killers, 2 steroid injections (which did nothing) and finally surgery. He is SO happy he had the surgery. He was totally incapacitated all summer and is finally back to himself. Hope you find some relief soon.…

ooh, never thought of this! must try!!

Nice work! You can see the change throughout your body--looks like you lost a bunch of inches! I'm at just about the same weight as you now, with the same goal. :smile:

Not sure about the "too hard to chew" comment, but I'd suggest granola bars, nuts, trail mix, etc. Just keep a stash in one of the pockets of your bag and grab a handful while you're walking.

My food diary is not for my interwebz friendz. It is for me. Why would I lie to myself?

I don't think you necessarily have to work on improving your 5K time, but you might want to spend some time just getting used to the 5K distance and feeling very comfortable with it--but not too long (just a week or two) before moving on to increasing your distance.

I haven't completed it (in the first week of phase 2) but I'll comment on what I've done.....I'm doing classic (tried lean a few years ago and got really bored with it). I've got a pull up bar that fits in the doorway, and 5, 8, 10 and 15 lb dumbells. I took a few recipes from the nutrition plan and changed my macros, but…
