BodyBug and Body Media Fit devices are meant to be worn all day and do a great job of determining your daily output and BMR. HRMs determine when your heart rate is raised above resting and give you a good idea of the caloric burn based on the information you put in and an estimated BMR---it is basically how MFP estimates…

Sodium is a huge culprit. Pre-pkaged and restaraunt foods are PACKED with salt. Check your nutrition reports for sodium and carbs for your vacation days and I'll bet they are high. Impossible to eat out without issues for the most part. I just packed on 5 LBs myself last week while away--back to normal after 3 days on…

Neil--this is insane. You are single handedly capable of making me laugh out loud every single day!!!!!:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Neil and Rosey-- Never smoked but I'm behind you. We're all in this together now!!!!!! Losing weight and exercising are hard too so it does seem best to just keep plugging along and come out feeling completely AWESOME! Let's keep laughing our way through it all--can't wait to hear your success stories!

Day 2--only 212 cals or 4.24 miles--dang, life got in the way today! More time tomarrow.

UGGH---I need to do this too! I'll be rowing a boat so might as well be even more accountable--I need to drop 6.5 before I can add a picture

WOOOOHOOOO Lets Row Badunkadunks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So awesome Neil! Cant wait to row the next 2 inches off with you. Those jeans will feel even better soon! GO Badunkadunks!!!!!!!!

So we send you a PM or do you want us to post it here?

Amber--Lizzie gave me 4 more names of people who PM'd her after her boat was full. I can either start one or give you the names and join yours. PM me

Are there any boats needing a rower out there? I'd love to get on one!

log it as calisthenics under cardiovascular exercise x 20 mins and see what your calorie loss based on your weight is.

We slice our favorite vegetables--zucchini, yelllow squash, carrots, onions, sweet potatoes etc and mix with a little olive oil and seasonings and put them in foil packets that can be grilled or set on the edges of a fire. You can pre make these before the trip. You could do chicken and veggie shish kabobs easiy and soak…

I am frustrated too---just started a bit over a month ago but weight was coming off fast. Now I am starting to exercise and it has stopped for 2 weeks--I agree with the muscle building theory and I also think your body holds onto calories when your expenditure increases initially. I've been on other diet programs and had…

I am starting tomarrow. I am definitely going to take pictures and I'll put the before on my profile----great inspiration everyone! Friend me if you want to shred together--I have one friend who started yesterday and support would be awesome. woohoo to all of you who are doing so well!

Everyone that posted here is doing so well! This is my 3rd week and it seemed easy until recently and I'm struggling a bit so seeing all off your tickers and NSVs just gave me a great lift Thanks.

With the end of the school year and schedules changing and sudden heat after freezing cold and rain, I find myself doing that too and wonder if it is stress that is accumulating inside me--like an overwhelmed feeling without one singular trigger? I saw the vinegar spritzer thing too--sounds like it could kill a craving for…

You look so much stronger--look at your posture in profile! I think carrying ourselves with confidence and strength is a beautiful thing. Great job--I have my dvd and will start this week on the 30DS--thanks for the inspiration!!

I got mine on Friday but couldnt start over the long weekend since we were gone a lot. I'll start with you if that will help--I'm a little worried about making the commitment for 30 days too but we could pull each other along! Anybody else out there want to start 30DS soon? Friend me and we'll get started when your…

walmart has a store brand of Margarita flavored 'CRYSTAL LIGHT" type mix to use in that recipe---yoiu can make them frozen too in the blender. Not bad.....

WOW!!! What a wonderful job you are doing of living your best life! You are beautiful and obviously strong in character---you can do anything you put your mind to doing. You have inspired me to keep going when it feels hard.

I was on zoloft several years ago and gained 30 pounds--I went off slowly and took the weight off---I recently have had anxiety attacks again and tried lexapro 10 mg--it helped a lot over the last year and a half, but again I've packed on 40 lbs! So I am doing as you are, slowly backing down to 5 mg and will consult with…
