We are camping now actually. I know the feeling of all the heavy food... but one of the things we do is marinate chicken or pork before our trip and freeze it. Then as it thaws in the cooler it is getting lots of flavor. We usually eat it with raw veggies, corn on the cob, sweet/baked potatoes. They are the few meals my…

I would love a support group. I have about 110 pounds to lose, but I am also going 10 pounds at at time. Any of you can feel free to add me. :smiley: I also have four kids, 9, 11, 12, and 19.

1/1/16 - not much (4321 total steps for the day) 1/2/16 - 40 minute walk with the dogs (6786 total steps for the day) 1/3/16 - 4 hours at the Zoo (9590 total steps for the day) 1/4/16 - 10 hours of work (12384 total steps for the day) I just realized that I was putting 2015 for my year. LOL

Checking in for today! 1/1/15 - not much (4321 total steps for the day) 1/2/15 - 40 minute walk with the dogs (6786 total steps for the day) 1/3/15 - 4 hours at the Zoo (9590 total steps for the day) We spent 4 hours at the Zoo today and it was chilly, but they have enough indoor stuff to keep you from getting too cold. We…

I would like to join as well. I just finished 40 minutes in the cold Michigan weather. 4740 steps so far today. Yesterday I did not do much... Hangover plus two hour plus movie. ;)

I have worked closely with Pete Thomas from Season 2. He was the at home winner and he has never once said anything like that. He did say they worked out for like 8 hours a day and it was hell.... but any working out would have been hell for him at 460ish pounds. When he was voted off it was his life for the next 6 months.…

And the cheese on Pizza.. so probably a good thing she is staying away from it.

You can try to put a towel on top of the mat. I do that at Bootcamp and it really helps.

Thanks for the tip.

The way you explain it sounds just like when I had Runner's Knee. I didn't know that was what it was and I tried to 'push through the pain' and ended up making it worse. I had to wear a brace for over 6 months anytime I worked out. Now it flares up once in a while and I just wear a brace until it feels better again. I did…

I've been craving sweet potatoes lately... I use to hate them with a passion, but I tried them once and now I crave them!! Not sure if it is an excuse, but I don't usually eat them. My cravings don't make me eat them. When I eat them it is a choice not because I'm craving it... well it is because I'm craving it, but it…

I guess it depends on if you say you are not active on your set up. I set mine to the lowest setting, so I would and do claim the calories when I mow the lawn or when I do weeding. I don't usually claim cleaning my house though, unless I'm moving stuff around or painting or something similar.

I burned 891 doing cardio for 75 mins at Planet Fitness this morning, I weigh 220. So it is very possible at your weight to burn that much. When I take my bootcamp class I burn 1200 (average) in 1.5 hours. I however aim for 80-90% HR because I do not feel as if I am working hard in the lower rate. I like to feel exhausted…

I tried c25k and failed too. That was when I first started out running. I have a trainer now that taught me the heart rate method. You are suppose to walk or jog or run at What is The Maffetone Method Here’s my break down of it. 1. Calculate your target heart rate using the 180 rule. Basically, 180 – your age. Your…

I weigh myself every day. The numbers do not bother me as long as I know I'm doing what I am suppose to do. When I've weighed myself weekly I've slipped.. I've read a couple studies that found that people that weigh themselves daily (not multiple times), keep the weight off in the long run. Because they are aware everyday…

You should try the Brazilian butt lift videos. We do some of those exercises at my boot camp and I can really feel it in my butt muscles the next day. In fact, my behind is probably the firmest place on me right now, besides my arms and legs that is.

I don't have PCOS, but I have crazy PMS cravings.. right now actually... I crave carbs. I really would like to have some crazy bread right now. I haven't given in to that craving because I would probably eat the whole bag. But I always seem hungrier when I am PMSing. It is nice to see I am not alone, now only if I could…

In my opinion you will be the same Alyssa only a better and healthier you. At least that is true for me. I think the only things that really changed about myself is the fact that I am more confident and open with people. Before I was shy and in the background. Losing weight changes the people around you more than it…

A lot of what everyone else has said. Move more and eat less. I was told very early on in a class I took about nutrition, not to start something (ie diet) that I couldn't do for the rest of my life. Because if you do then the chances of gaining the weight back are high. He taught me how to modify my food so that I could…

I honestly hated working out when I first started.. Finding the motivation was almost impossible. But I eventually found something that I love to do. Which makes it so much easier to go out and do it. If you love doing what you do then you are more likely to do it. My two things that I love to do are, my bootcamp class (it…

I had this happen to me. I was walking across to a store across the parking lot and I crossed in front of a car stopped at a stop sign and my family for some reason didn't follow me, and the man says as he is passing that he will stop any day to let a pregnant woman walk across the street. I was so embarrassed. Sadly it…

I have a friend that showed this to me. I really would like to do it, but there isn't one close enough to where I am. Maybe next year they will be in my area.

This happens at my work a lot. If I feel like I HAVE to have the cupcake I take all the frosting off of it and then just eat the cake. lol But I usually pass on the cupcakes and snacks, but every once in a while isn't bad.

I have four kids, so that really isn't a good excuse. I make dinner and they have the option of eating it or going to bed hungry. But you better believe that I am not going to eat something separate from my kids. That is silly. We do birthdays too... Even if you have a slice of cake you aren't going to gain weight, it is…

I just seen that the Kroger near me just started selling this. I was excited until I seen the price. But I think I will eventually try it. Breyers has a carb master that is 60 calories for 1/2 cup. I don't know how that would compare, but I liked it for a treat. I eat my ice cream out of a cup serving size, so that my mind…
