Just received my ifit treadmill commercial X22i on Thursday. Loving it so far

I have a polar and I would say that maybe its because when your heart rate falls below the "Zone" . But mine does beep when I go above my zone also, so I know I need to slow down.

i lost two bra sizes....sucks but true!

I only eat half my exercise calories back, not all. and I don't see it that it is giving me permission to go nuts. YOu need some of those calories, because if you are to stick to a 1200 calories and you burn 500 at a workout and don't eat any of those back, you are only give your body 700 calories for the day and that is…

you are taking the most important step by seeking help!!

sad but true, I have been through two divorces, finally find Mr. wonderful after the third. My first divorce was at 26, so i can relate. add me if you want

I LOVE SPINNING!!!! I burn so much when I spin

Thank you everyone, and yes I use the chest strap. :smile:

get the bodygem done. it give you your RMR. I found out my was low and have to make some changes to my intake and now not hitting those dumps.

I highly recommend people getting the bodygem done. It gives you your most accurate RMR. "A Metabolic Fingerprint, or resting metabolism, is the unique number of calories an individual burns each day without exercise or activity, and accounts for up to 75% of their total calorie needs." some doctors clinics do them or…

I also did the thrift store shopping for a long time!

daily......it keeps me in check and its my form of accountability.

thank you!

funny how we gain this weight over time, years.....but expect it to fall off instantly, fast......but this is the price we pay for our years of over indulgence. I use myfitness pal to help me track everything I put in my mouth. don't give up stay focuses success comes with time. p.s. you can make your diary private also

I weight myself daily. everytime I wake up, I call it my dry weight. This is what keeps me on track, focused and accountable on a daily basis.

yes forgot that also. But I do the plain greek god yogurt with a teaspoon of honey and stevia and a teaspoon of bare naked granola for a snack to keep under a 100 calories plus reduce the sugar

apples are my fav because it feels me up and last for me. but I have found those 35 calorie laughing cows and eat with a high grain cracker, the ones I eat are 3 crakers for 70 calories for a 105 calories a wonderful snack.

been told that also.........you know what my come back is "JEALOUSY REALLY SUCKS DOESN'T" !!!!

slow down and just keep moving. There is alot of folks in my class that can't dance but they just keep moving and still get a workout. its the atmosphere and music that makes it fun.....I LOVE ZUMBA

congrats!!!

That sound about what is has been for me. I started out in a size 14-16 oct 2009 now down to size 4 but lost 57 pounds....takes time

Thanks folks!!! am just afraid to slide back, this is the most successful I have ever been in my entire life.

Yes scary but yet feels great!!! I also was scared as I dropped clothing sizes, I have never been this small since jr. high. but of course you get over it very quickly!!!

I work 12 hour night shifts. So I continue to keep myself my tracking for midnight to midnight. Its the only thing that seems to help me be successful. After midnight I eat plain veggies if I get hungry. Like cucumbers,carrots, broccoli, califlower ect. so it contains little calories. Keeping the weight off for people who…

wow congrats. I was a size 14-16 so I can understand the happiness. Just wait when you hit those single digits!

if is just a meal I say just plan to workout more over the next few days. For myself, I rarely have cheat meals. Now don't get me wrong, like for my birthday. I had a half piece of cheesecake but I planned for that dang cheesecake for a week. So I reduced my caloric intake all week long around 50 a day (350 for the week)…

I order off the a la carte and order a taco(hard shell) with every little meat and tell them to load the veggies, no sour cream and not guac. then I order a bean tostada also without sour cream and no guac. and load up on the salsa for flavor. That is what has worked for me.

I think you will be fine, this happen to me also when I had my gallbladder out and trust me my appetite returned!!!:happy:

apples, oranges, plain oatmeal(cook w/water), beef jerky, can of tuna(put mustard and salt and pepper in it when you open it), 90 calorie bread from sara lee, almonds, maybe 100 calorie snack packs. hope those ideas help
