My why began with knowing that I was nearing 200lbs. I'm short-5'3, and all I could think was that I was getting as wide as I was tall. After that stopped being so much of an issue, it was really just because I was actually seeing movement and the thought of actually making it to my goal weight... with all honesty, I…

If you're not sure about the calories burned, play safe and only eat back half of them. That being said- I usually go with what MFP says and haven't had any issues with my weight loss so far. Though as mentioned above, HRMs are the most accurate way to track.

Great job :) The same weight I started at and where I'm working towards as well :)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-q7SVJYaO0&feature=youtu.be Just had that shared with me.... hope it helps you too! If you can't watch the whole thing, try watching the first 3 mins and then skipping ahead to about 15:30... though I do recommend all

Go to reports, then choose "weight" for the report type. Change the timeframe to see a full graph :)

Mine is the same... I only record my lowest weights on MFP, because I feel like I'm sending out false info when I post a loss and a message pops up to my friends saying I've lost 5lbs (when really, it was 1, lol). But I use apps on my phone to track the ups and downs - both weighttrend+ and ulog... I'm seeing which I like…

Actually, they do still taste awesome. They're Love Bombs. No more muffins here! lol.. but thanks for the advice, guys, awesome stuff!!! Will definitely try some of these tricks out next time.

Funny enough, I only have 2... and hmmm.... Boobookitty collects.... makeup. Though I wish I'd saved selfies for you, lol oh, km collects wrestlers dolls- *ahem* sorry, "action figures"

Re: Running hills... is using an incline on the treadmill similar enough? I've tried it, but always feel like it isn't the same as when I've actually been outside and running up a hill... but unfortunately outdoor running isn't much of an option for me right now :(

bump to save... I'm working on speed as well :)

selfies!

1000 piece "collectors" puzzles, lol

Thanks!

I would go for new clothes. Using food as a reward for losing weight is never a good idea. Food is fuel- not a reward. And what do you hope to gain by meeting your ex? You're married now- if I were your wife, knowing that you wanted to go meet with your hot ex-gf (even if you claim it's just to rub in her face how you look…

I thought that during and after my 2 days on the cabbage soup diet. I'm enjoying cardio though, running is awesome. ETA: Come to think of it, I used to think that I would never be able to run...

Bump because I'm in the "learning to cook" boat as well :(

I did this recently but didn't really like it. But then I read a pinterest thing about freezing grapes to use to chill wine and I was sold. Otherwise, I freeze bananas. Frozen bananas are amazing!

I think that was just a comparison to try to help you understand, since you're having such difficulty with it. Are you still confused or are you just being glib at this point? Some people don't feel the need to share everything in their lives, regardless of what it may be. Whether food, hormonal functions, income, health…

hmm I'm not a blueberry fan, but my hubby is.. maybe I'll try this...

Are you drinking plain water or are you counting green (or regular) tea, flavoured waters, etc? When I first started drinking more water, I counted only plain water and noticed my skin clear up. Then I read that it's fine to count coffee, tea, etc in as part of your hydration so I started counting those (and drinking less…

bump for info!

It depends on how you train your body- are you trying to improve on doing the same moves over and over or are you trying to improve your full body and actual capabilities? I'm a recruiter and I've recruited for many roles involving heavy lifting. I've had guys come in for interviews bragging that they could lift 250lbs,…

What software do you use?

Thanks, but going to have to see if regular yogurt works in place of greek and will most likely be using coconut milk from a can.... Greek Yogurt and So Delicious Coconut milk will make this a 30 buck batch of muffins lol... for those 2 alone, not even counting the cost of the other ingredients.... but I do appreciate,…

The thing is, that stuff isn't actually "raw cane sugar"... not the kind I got in Canada, at least. I haven't seen that stuff here, but then again haven't looked for that either. This stuff is like... It's made of sugar cane juice and looks similar to brown sugar, but has very yellow undertones.. and tastes like what sugar…

Shame from what you're eating comes when people on your friends list make comments on your foods- whether asked for or not. While I'll admit that the advice given to me always came from good intentions, at that time, when I was still learning the ropes and what worked for me, it still made me uncomfortable. And it's even…

I used to not log properly because I was self conscious about what other people would see/say/think (While I try to incorporate healthy foods, I don't "eat clean" by any means...) so when I first started here I had it locked, because that really kept me best accountable to myself. Recently I've had a problem with actually…

Didn't add more sugar because the strawberry juice I used was INCREDIBLY sweet, plus the strawberries were as well... I used I think 8 packets of Splenda in the first batch and then 5 in the second (cuz even that was too sweet). If I try these again- will see if sugar makes a difference. Thanks!
