Talk to a Doctor about what your body really needs to determine whether its less or more calories. My guess would be more, expecially since you stated something about "excluding any classes or one on ones I teach". Do you use an HRM to calculate your calories burned? I would lean more towards needing to mix things up, but…

When you set your goal to lose 2lb per week the total calories that MFP gives you per day should result in the intended loss. It is already figuring your basic calorie needs to maintain then subtracting calories to help you reach your goal. This means that when you exercise and put your numbers lower, you could petentially…

This is pointing to the question being "how much does your body burn". So many people who don't even eat 1200 calories (what MFP generalizes as being everyones basic body burn) and then exercise ton and not giving their body back any fuel to rebuild don't seem to be taking into account their basic body needs. The focus is…

I believe that one of the major issues of apples isn't just extra fat under the skin, its actually the visceral fat that surrounds your organs. So the answer in that case would be no, lipo doesn't reduce your risk one bit.

I had to fill that out at my son's last check up, 15month. What is sad is the number of children that do have high numbers on the negative options on that form. I've been blessed with an active child with a voracious appetite, especially for fruits and veggies, who rarely even glances at the tv. He makes healthy easy. (at…

Stress is bad in many ways. Weight retention and possibly gain is just one. One way to beat stress at this horrible game is find a way to wind down. For some people its a form of exercise, either hard core or mild, like walking or yoga. For others it may be taking time to just breath and maybe read a book. A magic pill…

You should be able to add it to the database. When you search for it and it can't find it the option to add becomes available. Basically its just a fill in the blanks from there. :drinker:

I love this. I get overwhelmed, even when I've been doing great, if I start to think about doing it Forever. Just for today: I will do my core workout.

Welcome! I'm from Paris area. This is a wonderful site and way to stay focused and motivated. Good luck!

The real question in that would be...how much of that oil are you actually eating. Yeah, you may put 1Tbsp in the pan, but how much actually adheres to the egg so that you eat it? Depending on how I am cooking with it I may track it, but never the full amount that I put into a pan, I'm not treating it like gravy and…

Sorry I've been so horrible at checking in this month. Slow and steady is my pace, but it may be picking up since instead of jogging I've strapped my skates back on. :happy: Sat: 1.5miles Sun: a true day of rest, so very nice Mon: 2miles Today: 3miles Ticker is updated!

Thanks!

Great job! Feeling and looking beautiful is always a wonderful NSV!

I used to get side cramps while getting back into running. I used the advice of friends of putting my hands on my head and it helped ease the pain and allowed me to keep going. Just pushing through the pain made it unbearable for an extended period even beyond the jog.

Another 1.5miles today during lunch break. I'm hoping for some early morning runs this weekend. I'll update ticker when I get home tonight.

Its been crazy at work and home so I haven't had a chance to update. Since the 1st I have gotten in another 5miles. Updated ticker :) Going to have to step it off with such a slow start to my month!

Very inspiring to someone lacking motivation lately! Congratulations on your hard work paying off! Absolutely beautiful :flowerforyou:

bump Great links in first post. You all are such a motivation to me as I try to get back to jogging! Peace and serenity, oh how I miss thee.

I'm in again. Upping my goal this month to 40miles. since I'm trying to get more into jogging again I think I can hit this. Woot Woot! PS: Started my morning after dropping off the little one at daycare with a nice jog.

I'm in! I love the mini challenges. 32 down, 93 to go.

That is a wonderful NSV! Congratulations! :flowerforyou:

I started the shred again yesterday (7/25/11) and then today decided to see if there was a group going. What luck! Day 1, Level 1 down and I'll be doing Day 2 as soon as I get my lunch break. :) Happy Shredding Everybody! :flowerforyou:

Very hot out there today! I was able to get 1.5miles in before I just didn't want to sweat anymore.

I need to get another round of 30DS in. I attempted to do 6 Week 6 Pack, but got interrupted by work. That was a totally different way to bust out some abs. Loved what I got to try and need to get back to that as well. I've been getting back to running on my lunch breaks but with the heat and humidity really kicking in I…

Walked/Ran another 2.5miles on lunch break. I ran the last 3/4 lap without stopping! No telling myself I only had to make it to the next shrub/light pole/breath. I ran all the way back to the door at work. Damn, that felt awesome! Ticker updated.

Only 2 more miles in this weekend, but they were spent with the family :) Updated ticker. Hoping to get a jog in today at lunch if the weather isn't too oppressive. If it is, then just a walk.

I am with you! If I couldn't have ice cream, brauts, hell even a candy bar when I damn well feel like I'd jump off this wagon so quick I'd need another candy bar for the sugar rush. Maybe someday down the road I'll crave those kinds of things less and less, but right now I'm going to eat what I like, just less of it at a…

:) This is our group. Check in when you can to share your Level, Day and any breaks (L1D1, 2 Breaks) and thoughts your having about it (need motivation, man that hurts, can't wait for tomorrow...) As to finding it again, when you are in the Community tab there is a link for My Topics towards the top of page, that is the…
