  • If the total calories burned is a gimmick, what do you believe is the best way to keep yourself accountable for cals in vs cals "out"?
  • I tend to go along with this view as well. I will NOT allow myself to starve and our bodies do not like to be in starvation mode. I workout in the evenings a lot and don't usually have an appetite because its so close to bed time, but I still make a point to at least make some eggs or have a protein shake. I usually don't…
  • SW: 180 lbs CW: 160 lbs GW for March 31: 154 lbs Weigh in Dates (tweaked the dates to my Friday weigh-ins): 2/28: 159.8 3/07: 3/14: 3/21: 3/28: Total weight lost: REWARD TO SELF: New workout pants! I've been really wanting some "flashier" pants, but don't feel like I deserve them just yet. Good luck to everyone! #excited
  • This is almost my shopping list as well. I usually add the following (for 1): salmon (or your preferred fish) tuna to-go packets avocado sweet potatoes greek yogurt & honey cottage cheese & pineapples I keep everything pretty simple. If I get REALLY bored, I'll add sauces to the meat/fish - teriyaki, bbq, lemon pepper,…
  • I'm 5'4" and currently just under 160lbs. My goal weight is 140. I was 135lbs about 5 years ago and it was a bit too small for my frame (I had a 6-pack and all).
  • I'd do the old "how many sets do you have left" as nicely as possible. :flowerforyou: I think sometimes some the guys overlook us women, but you'll just have to make your presence known. I used to be soooo intimidated in the weight room, but after watching how they are with one another, I just go with it. You may have to…

  • I'm so glad to see this suggestion. I'm so over hard boiled eggs and wondered how I could get scrambled ones at work. This is awesome!
  • Thanks for these suggestions! I love the hot wings "fix". Will have to try it. I'm not a big fan of eggs so I lean towards meats and this is great.
  • You're doing a Benjamin Button....you look younger and younger in each pic! Great job!
  • Wow, that helps! Thanks so much for sharing! I'm 5'4" and 160lbs so that's why the protein is so high. It turns out to be about 40% of my diet/day. I need to get a blender for the protein shakes - that would probably help me a lot. Do you have a favorite protein shake brand? I tried the powder Pure Protein a while ago but…
  • Congrats!! You're the same height and same "highest weight" that I was (currently at 160), so this gives me major motivation. Thanks for sharing your story!
  • Adding you as well. Need motivation to stay on track!
  • Are you currently taking tennis lessons someplace? I've been wanting to practice as well.
  • I've wondered about the same thing. I'm always curious about how much strength training justifies supplements. And a lot of comments scare me about the jittery feelings they get when taking them. Hopefully someone helps with some insight on this.
  • I'm actually new to myfitnesspal so I'm not quite sure how to "open" my food log (I've only just began logging)....I'll play around with it though. I do try to watch my diet though and I've lost 15 pounds since October 2013. Just suddenly stalled in the last few weeks. I was using Noom to log but decided the macros thing…
  • I'm talking about treadmill (or running period), elliptical, bikes - I really hate. lol
  • I belong to a gym, but its small...no classes. I have been thinking about doing some classes, I think that might help with my motivation. I used to enjoy running outdoors but even now that doesn't excite me.
