1150 days. Which is actually probably a little pathetic... but what can I say, I lurve to calorie count!

I was doing really good with self control for the first 10-15 days, and then I had my rough week with eating and I haven't seemed to gotten out of that rut yet! I'm not eating horribly by any stretch of the imagination, but I find that I'm eating things just because I have the calories and I don't want to be doing that! I…

I'm still here, too! I had a rough week (especially Wednesday and on). I was on a Communications rotation for my vet school curriculum- it involves a lot of simulated appointments talking to client-actors, and this week was all the heavy stuff (financial talks, euthanasia discussions, cancer diagnoses, etc) so I felt very…

Nice going Jeannie! You're doing super awesome. This was my first week, and overall I'd say it went pretty well! I didn't hit the gym as often as I hoped (it will be 3 times if I go tomorrow)... but I'm saying that's because the previous week I was on spring break and I wasn't ready to start waking up at 4:30 this week (:…

That's awesome! I like your attitude about slip-ups, too. We all have them, and we can't expect perfection. A day we try to do well and have a slip-up is still likely to be a better day than if we weren't trying at all. And anyway, it's all about making new good habits, right? Keep at it! I haven't been hitting the gym as…

Yay! Glad you had a good yesterday @Jeannieclark8 -- I hope today goes just as well for you. My name is Alexz, by the way. I'm joining this group a week late (I was in Chicago on vacation for the past week and I DEFINITELY did not want to restrict my eating while I was there!) -- but I'm starting today and felt like I…

I'm the exact same and am going through exams right now, too. I always keep liter water bottles by me (I have two next to me right now) so that I have something to do when I get bored. I put crystal light powder in one of them so that it tastes really sweet and is mentally rewarding to drink (water doesn't always do it for…

You've probably taken care of it by now, but for future reference you can go to an ER FOR ANYTHING. ANYTHING AT ALL. If you are in true terrible pain and you can't go to a place that can more effectively treat the issue (like the dentist, because they're closed) they will give you something for it. It's not true that…

Don't forget, though, that honey has a lot of sugar, too! I put honey in mine, but it doesn't take much honey to send the sugar back up to where you were in the first place!

Thanks for sharing!

And get rabies! YAY!

Too much inactive time?!? You ain't doin em right!
-
I'm with you- I'm so pleased! Even if I was one gram over or one calorie over - seeing red made me feel so discouraged that I'd often blow the day! I prefer this so much more!!
-
I'm with you on this one. If someone swears by something and they look like a million bucks, I'm way more likely to try it than I would be if the person hadn't lost any weight at all. And in fact, I think most people are like that (including those who have posted) but don't want to admit it. We do this every day with…

Fat free yogurts, like Dannon or Yoplait, that have tons of sugar. I've switched to Greek yogurt!

I was with him for 7 years, and we were the exact same age when we got engaged. We just had our 8 year anniversary, I'm 23 and he's 24, we're getting married this September, and I know it's the best decision we could have made! If it feels right, then it probably is (:

Girl I'm in the exact same boat! My weight hasn't changed, my measurements haven't change - but I can see more definition, so SOMETHING has to have changed. It's frustrating, but I keep reminding myself that even if the numbers aren't telling me that I'm changing, I feel better and I'm doing something good for my body.

In undergrad I had to purchase safety goggles (the kind that seem to suction to your face) for chemistry lab, and now I use those when I chop onions. I haven't had any problems! And my fiance loves to laugh at me when I'm wearing them. (: Here's what I'm talking about:…

Well for me it depends on how hard I'm going that day. If I am using really heavy weights (so that it's hard for me to finish the song), I'll burn around 400ish according to my HRM. If the weights are lighter (definitely not LIGHT, but I'm able to do every rep required of me) I'll burn around 250-300. Just for reference -…

10% with the muscles!

Yeah - don't be scared! You'll be preventing yourself from going to some seriously awesome classes! I was too scared to go to a Les Mills class (or any class for that matter), but I had a friend tell me they were good and joined me in my first one. It's kind of nice, because the instructors sometimes ask who is new to the…

'Cook Yourself Thin' and it's sequel, 'Cook Yourself Thin Faster' are great cookbooks! The chefs teach you a lot about healthy substitutions in their recipes, and my fiance (who grew up on butter and whole milk) LOVES the food from those books. I'd highly recommend them. Each book has several breakfast, entree,…

I'm about 150lbs and I aim for at least 1000 calories eat workout (I try to burn 5000 calories a week and work out for at least 10 hours... so you can see that burning more calories takes more time). Definitely HIIT (high intensity interval training) works! So an example would be walking at a decent pace for 2-3 minutes…

Don't you dare let what other people think of you decide your fate. You will go to college for YOU because that is the best option for YOU and YOU only. I don't care how embarrassed you are about your appearance - IT IS NOT IMPORTANT. An education is important, and loving yourself is even more important. If you don't learn…

That doesn't look like an allergy to rubber as much as it looks like chaffing to me. Try putting vaseline (or body glide if you have it) on the skin where the band will rub. Hopefully it won't happen again. I would assume that your HRM has rubber on it... so unless you got a reaction on your skin there, too, it's probably…

I've wondered the same thing, and I think that those numbers take exercise into account. I usually eat around 2200 calories on days that I work out a lot, and that's about where the "exercise 6-7 days" puts me when I've done those calculations in the past. That being said, I have my activity on MFP set at sedentary because…

Regardless of chest hair, I think that you look more defined in the older photo, but that could be attributed to photo quality/lighting/etc. That being said - you look excellent in both. You are a very handsome man! Congrats on how far you've come (:

Here's one link that has a couple stretches as well as some strengthening exercise for hip flexors: http://www.runnersworld.com/article/0,7120,s6-241-285--13543-0,00.html Whenever I have a running related question, I just go to Runner's World and type it in the search bar. Good luck!

BUMP for all the amazing recipes!
