I TOTALLY AGREE!!!!!!! I lost more in the first couple of months (and it was winter) of exercising outside than I EVER did when I would go to the gym. Its florida...exercising outside it what its really all about!!!!!!!! I also pay for yoga when I want to go to a class and am gonna take up swimming come May already signed…

I apologize you said several weeks. I saw that now...also you cracked me up with the eating way too little and eating too little comment. I have to be honest I saw my best results when I first cut back eating my exercise calories back in latter Dec but it did get frustrating with the lack of energy and being hungry all the…

I was definitely eating way too little. I wasn't at first and then I think I started getting the whole you shouldn't eat back your exercise calories advice so I curtailed that and my training suffered for it but then I upped my calorie burn. I use a polar ft4 for my burn so I think its rather accurate. I would be happy to…

Okay I desperately need help...I've been stuck in the 70s now and cannot seem to get beyond that...and I really love the 60s. I can feel comfortable in the 60s. haha..yes lil joke but really I need help. I've tried eating less, eating more, crosstraining, strenght training... Currently I have my calories set at 1420 I…

congratulations!!!!!!!!!!! Keep at it!!!!

Bumpity bump bump cause I want this for inspiration!!!!!!! DAGS GIRL! BadA$$!!!

Fo sho the truth!!!!!!! The sidewalks are crazy dangerous with people coming out of streets without stopping at traffic lights..yes I road bike....I hardly consider myself a "real" cyclist, but am logging or trying to log about 20-30 miles per week and hope to build that up. Its my cross training for running and I'm in…

LOVE and Congrats!!!!!! Its awesome you stuck thru a 5 mth plateau!!!!!!!!

I think personally it goes back to whether or not starvation mode is real or not. Its more about sustainability. We have ALL lost weight on less than 1200 calories....and we are all back here on mfp trying to lose the weight that we gained back and more from not changing our lifestyle PERMANENTLY. I know for a fact there…

Yep plan all 6 meals/snacks. I have a template on google documents. I subscribe thru email to healthy food bloggers to help give me ideas and rotate in fresh new ideas to my recipes.

LOVE this! I have Beautiful Badass Nia Shanks on fb and I saw the "fallout" over fruit...I completely agree with her. Thanks for posting!

I'm a fumehead and my best advice is to go to Sephora and sample to make sure you pick the right one for you. My favorite is Lady Vengeance by Juliette Has a Gun. Its sultry and smoky and just truly sexiness in a bottle. However...its not for everyone. I also love love love love Thierry Mugler's Womanity. It smells to me…

hahahahaha!!!! I too thought it was pastie...and since I'm a huge burlesque fan I figured I would check out what ya came up with. :) They are super easy to make!!!!!!!

Of course.....

really no clue. I do know that I'm super frustrated on a plateau so hence why I made an appointment with the nutritionist. About 175 5'6.

I'm so very curious about this cause I've seen you post it, but I really don't understand it. I assume I would need to know my lean body mass which I don't. :(

I am trying to do 40/30/30 . Seems to not be that hard just takes a bit of extra planning. Meeting with a nutritionist next Friday though to discuss if that is the proper ratio for me when I start training for my half.

2012 goal is half. 2013 goal is full. :) Stay in contact with us chicas I'd love to see what races we all end up doing!!!!!

Oh and I have to share this...cause everyone with abuelas understands. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_dCjyMZfbU

Aqui estoy! You know girl...I don't speak Spanish though..its spanglish all the way...and my white hubby is the one that cooks the puertorican dishes in our house. His arroz con gandules is better than abuelas! I just sent a request.

I am exactly where I was..I had lost a bit and evidently gained it back again. This 175 is posing quite the hurdle, I plan and intend and WILL be at 173 for next Monday! I need to get out of this decade. Current Weight: 186 Challenge Goal Weight: 165 01/02: 186 01/09: 184.6 01/16: 180.2 01/23: 180.2 01/30: 179. 02/06:…

,

I'm going to be baking my own this morning. Its going to be a busy week and generally I prefer to not use protein shakes or bars for nutrition, but I need something quick to grab and eat and don't love the chemicals or preservatives in alot of the bars I have seen so I found a recipe for making them at home. We will see…

I personally work a lot with leftovers from the night before in doing a "new version" for lunch with small changes.
