  • I'll be getting my first delivery next Tuesday. I figured it'd cost the same as I've been spending on groceries to make 2 recipes a week. But I'll be getting a variety of meals and missing out on the shopping, cooking, and cleaning.
  • Ordered the BOD version as soon as I got home and the first workout is done! So much fun :) I've really been looking forward to this one.
  • Interesting, this was posted to bring people together...hopefully we can still do that. I'd love to have some Traditional Foodie friends if anyone would like to add me :) I'm super happy with how my health has changed for the better now that I'm a little over a year into my real food journey. I feel great, I'm enjoying my…
  • Good morning :) I started transitioning to WAPF about 1 1/2 years ago. I run a homesteading and real food blog and have really been enjoying the journey. The first year I was frustrated to find I was gaining even though I cut out snacking and unhealthy foods and was being more active...nutrient dense unfortunately is also…
  • Punches are good cardio, and you could certainly do some hand weights or resistance equipment. Some calisthenics and balance exercises may work for you as well. Best of luck!
  • My Charge HR just arrived last night! http://www.myfitnesspal.com/vigilant20
  • The only real reason not to do sleeve that my surgeon brought up was if you have acid issues. Mine says I can go either way and I'm also more inclined towards RNY, as it's more effective and more commonly done.
  • Started Zombies, Run! 5K training, so hopefully I'll be stepping it up a notch :) Sun - 3.5 miles on treadmill Total - 3.5 miles
  • Sun - 2.75 on the treadmill Mon - 1.25 on the treadmill Tue - 0 :( Wed - 3.75 on the treadmill Thu - 2.5 on the treadmill Fri - 3.3 shopping and treadmill Sat - 1.75 on the treadmill Total - 15.3 miles. Just baaaarely made it :D
  • Knobles, I haven't had the best luck doing 1200 calorie diets in the past myself. I'm doing this along with wearing a Bodymedia FIT and am upping my calories to what it tells me to based off of my actual burn. With it set to lose two pounds a week that normally puts me between 1700 and 2000. Curve...best of luck to you!…
  • Sloughed off a bit over the holiday. And this will be my first week out of work so it'll take some time to find my groove, I think. But I am shooting for at least 1:30 in the home gym to keep me busy. Next week the cheapo spin bike I bought with my going away gift cards will get here to finish it up :) Sunday - 2.75 on the…
  • I am 35, 5'3", 237.6 pounds and have been dieting basically my whole life. This is the year it ends. I finally got serious and got a bodymedia armband so I have real data to work with and will be following Bob's Skinny rules for what I eat. I put together a little home gym with a treadmill, spin bike, stair stepper,…
  • I'm shooting to lose a pound a week, exercise an hour and 30 minutes a day (at least while I'm between jobs!), and implement more of Bob's Skinny Rules one at a time.
  • I'm starting the new year weighing 237.6 and my goal is to lose 1 pound a week :) How awesome would it be to end the year at 185! I'd be about half way to my "ideal weight" I searched but I didn't see a facebook group with the same name. I'd be interested in joining that...it would be much easier to get updates there.
  • I just ordered a few from Title Nine I'm really impressed with...they are sports bras but designed well enough for every day use as well.
  • I lowered mine by a point, which seemed like a lot less than the default. But only running, shoveling, and plunging laundry (I do mine by hand) have hit it...so it seems right for me.
  • I've been using mine for a week now and really like it. It was just a rough week to start with all the Christmas feasting :D I'm 35, 5'3" and 240 with a goal of 120. I hope the half of me I lose is the bad half lol I sent you ladies requests if you are interested in a BMF friend.
  • Sunday - 1.75 on the treadmill Monday - 2.00 on the treadmill Tuesday - 2.83 on the treadmill Wednesday - 2.50 on the treadmill Total - 9.08 miles
  • Congrats! What a great gift :) The time seems to vary for me, sometimes it's there as soon as I log in and sometimes it takes a little while.
  • Sunday - 1.75 on the treadmill Monday - 2.00 on the treadmill Tuesday - 2.83 on the treadmill Total - 6.58 miles Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas :)
  • I have a wonderful mother who's making quinoa stuffed peppers for dinner so it's suitable for everyone...even my goofy dieting vegetarian self.
  • I'm reading the book now and the explanations make sense. And people have obviously gotten great results following his advice. Half the book is weekly menus and recipes for those that don't know how they'd follow it. I really like the clean and simple way it approaches food and meal prep would be a breeze.
  • I am just getting started...but I got in 34g today. I notice a lot of his meal suggestions include a slice of bread, so that's what I ended up doing. Breakfast was on a light multigrain english muffin, and 1 snack and dinner had a slice of 10 grain bread. (But I'm also following the Bodymedia armband's recommendation for…
  • I was really surprised when I noticed this week that even Pick 'N Save carries Ezekiel Bread in the freezer section with the natural/vegetarian foods.
  • Sunday - 1.75 on the treadmill Monday - 2.00 on the treadmill Total - 3.75 miles I was using an elliptical at the gym until I bought the treadmill last week. My muscles are not adjusting well but I'll get there :D
  • First day participating for me :) Sunday - 1.75 on the treadmill Total - 1.75 miles
  • I got the set tonight and immediately started with this one. I don't think he knows what a beginner is sometimes, but I did like the style. I just couldn't do the pushups and weird up and down planks yet. I logged it as aerobics for now...but my bodymedia armband comes tomorrow so I should have a more accurate gauge for me…
  • Interesting. The new ZombieLink they rolled out is not working well for me at all though.
  • Thanks for the feedback Phee! Mine should arrive tomorrow night...I can't wait!
