Once my hr gets to 100. Depending on what I'm doing (spin, elliptical, etc) the time for it to get there varies. It's very quickly post spin (because of cool down in class) and takes a few minutes more after elliptical because I don't cool down and usually hop off when my hr is around 155. And I'm old and fat, so that's…

Yay! You're awesome! I was going through the app and decided that I would most certainly die, come week 4.

So you did the whole thing without walking? I did c25k 1-2 today. I don't think I will ever be able to run 3 minutes straight, never mind an entire 3k (though I can go on the elliptical for 5 miles, wtf?). I am a 25 year smoker, too. It's HARD! Good for you!

I sell mine for research. :)

OK, I need the recipe for a 171 calories bean burrito! My tortilla alone is 130 calories!

It's a social microcosm. As lame as it may be. I agree, though....just because people ARE shallow, doesn't mean they should project it on a site like this. They can be as shallow and catty as they'd like in their own heads, but I don't think anyone really wants to hear the ugliness they're spewing. Unless someone is here…

OMG, I love, love, love Emily Bites! I have made the cheeseburger ones as well as the buffalo chicken ones and my BF DEVOURS them. I cannot believe how yummy they are for the calories. And easy!!!

OMG, breakfast this weekend! :)

ROFL San Diego (North County) here.

I got a set from Walmart for 19.99 and .97 shipping. I use them all the time. They go up to 20lbs each, which is good for me, since I'm currently only up to 15 lbs each. :)

Which is precisely why I should be burning MORE than her, no?

So, I felt exactly like you, so I spent money I didn't have on one. Guess what.....it can't possibly be right. It estimates SO low. My girlfriend who is probably 70 pounds lighter than I am, gets the same calorie burn that I do when I'm dripping with sweat and she looks like she just stepped off the runway! WTF? (love ya,…

Why only 1/2 serving of oatmeal? Is it because of the high calories in the yogurt?

The nutrients you put in your body are important for fuel efficiency. What I mean is if you eat broccoli, brown rice and chicken as a meal vs. a hot dog and fries, your body will be more efficient at metabolizing it. Also, water keeps your organs hydrated, which helps them more efficiently metabolize your food/fat. Edited…

I just started this 2 days ago, from doing 1200 calories + exercise, and it seems like a LOT of food. I'm afraid I am going to start gaining. I am going to read that thread from the recently created group, because the 1200 wasn't working and I don't want this to not work either. Thank you. :)

You are SO not alone. LOL! I'm fairly certain I'm going to get dumped once a month. ;)

I love you. Truly. I'd like to add to today's lesson (and the ones suggested above) the "ur" for you're or your, and the "u r" for you are. Oh there are so many from which to choose! Perhaps a daily Public Service Announcement is in order?

Holy ****, you look AWESOME!!! Congrats to you!

My boyfriend is manorexic, but we really had a problem before we moved in together because we lived an hour apart and he works nights. I was only able to see him twice a week and I'd lose 1.5 hours on those nights, when I got off at 6pm. I'd get to his house at 8, then we'd pass out. It was horrible. Now that we live…

My head hurts.

I had to stop buying it because I couldn't resist its evil temptations. =\

Oh pixie, I heart pubmed. :) Haven't visited it in some time, but I do love me some publications. <3

Thanks, again, for your replies. I did 4 miles on the elliptical this morning at a pretty hard resistance and I feel OK...BUT it seems to be worse after I eat (which I just did, so I should know in a bit). So far today, it's been really mild (it almost feels like I took a vicodin or something....just kind of in a fog) - I…

Yep....I always wear them loose on the elliptical for that very reason.

Thank you guys. I'm going to wait a couple of days and if it doesn't stop, I'll go to the Dr. It just scared me a bit (especially last night). It was manageable today.....you know....sit down, wait it out. I really did think that it was just a result of pushing myself too hard, but I've been this sore before. I'm not new…

I had a "rest" day yesterday (which is when it started) and haven't worked out since (was planning on going after work, even though I can still barely move), but it's been after I eat. Like I ate about 3 hours ago and the shakiness and sweats are gone, but I'm still slightly light headed and a little disoriented. Last…

Amen, sister!

I'm always hungry. =\

No HRM for lifting??? I literally just ordered one specifically so I could know what I was burning when I lift. Seriously, the story of my life. =\

Who am I kidding? I STILL love me some candy. =\
