  • Structured- no. But I do lift about 5x per week. I spend about 30 minutes in free weights (25lb bells, for 50lb total) targeting all upper body, and then I do some machine work targeting lower body for about 30 minutes. this consists of a lot of leg press (300 pound combo, 175 isolation) and thigh lift stuff. I'm sure I…
  • Edit- Honestly- I don't want this photo of me on the open web. This is me- unflexed and natural. Like I said, I know I'm still fat. but I just don't see 50% body fat.
  • I've been at this with modest dedication since mid February. I've been at this hard-core with superhuman dedication since May 1st.
  • If anyone here happens to KNOW their body fat percentage, could you check it against this calculator and let me know if it's accurate? Based on measurements alone, this calculator puts me at 30%, which is what I was expecting based on eyeballing it. I had twins at the end of January, and I'm ok with 30% right now. I'm…
  • But what if you're not getting results? thats where I get stuck. I haven't lost anything in a while now, inches or pounds. And my diet is on pointe. My exercise is impressive... If I can toot my own horn a bit... I'm having a hard time trusting my body and believing in myself.
  • I was a closet anorexic/bulimic. I liked the attention of "Where do you put all that food?" So when I went into recovery, it never occurred to me to slow down my intake. I still sought out the attention. I wish I had been more open about my image problems back then and received proper help, and nutritional counseling.…
  • My babies are 4 and 2. I'm sure some of this pudge is left over from them, too... But Im really battling weight from a baby I had via surrogacy 5 months ago as well. May 16th! It's specifically hard for me, because I don't have an end goal in my mind's eye. I have a number I'd like to see, and an image of how I looked the…
  • This has been me for a week straight. I was proud of my results, but the longer i stagnate the more i start to hate what i see in the mirror. I feel like I'm putting in A+ effort and getting C- results. I keep saying, "my input isn't matching my output" I dont get it... I too am battling baby weight.
  • I don't use an app (yet), but I am desperate for fellow runner friends. Many moons ago I was training for the ALS half. But got prwgnant, got out of shape, got pregnant again... and now here I am. Back, and with the same goal, but essentially starting all over. In my prime I was about a 8:15 mile. Right now at 5 months pp…
  • I'll be the *****. As someone working her *kitten* off... and having said *kitten* go nowhere.... Don't whine until you do the work. You clearly don't want the weight off as badly as you think. Its a choice of choosing what you want more. The weight loss... or the pizza on the couch. As a good friend of mine tells me, "You…
  • Posts: 1,660 August 11, 2014 7:58 Age: 31 Weight: 183 Height: 5'2" Daily Calories Intake: 1200 on a good day, most days closer to 800-1000. Weekly Exercise Activities: cardio 3-4 min at target heart rate and 30 min of strength. Weekly Weight Loss Goal: 2lbs, but hell, I'd take 2 ounces at this point. Desired Weight Loss…
  • Thanks, everyone. I am not breastfeeding. Believe me, I track intake with a fine tooth comb. I usually only eat things that are easily tracked (have nutrition facts with serving size easily available). I keep a second diary apart from mfp by these numbers and find that mfp usually estimates calories more conservative than…
