Hi, You are supposed to eat your exercise calories. Your weightloss is figured in by MFP before exercise, so if you exercise the idea is to eat back those calories to replace fuel burnt. That being said, I recommend you try it over 6 weeks and do what works for you. From observation, I have found that I have most success…

Hi Elena, Can I be in too? Is there room? 5% will be about 10lbs, which is great! Where do we post the weigh in? Looking forward to it. I can reweigh on 9/19, but for now: SW 202lbs Halloween Goal 192lbs

Yes, thankfully, like Dave I, too, have made my goal. But stalled. Am working on dropping. At least I haven't gone up!

Missed you! My second job kicked in, which has upended my schedule. Plus, the kids are back at soccer (3 kids have 7 teams if they each make the school team). So, the gym? I've been getting there twice a week for about a month, instead of the 90 minutes per day 6 times a week that I was doing .... Cheers, Sean

Eating is way off. Anniversary weekend followed by hurricane weekend and my second job fired up ... not exercising either, hafta set…

Okay, so Friday morning I sprinted out to work without weighing in ... and I remembered but didn't want to do it that evening. Saturday I was out first thing for my youngest's 3v3 soccer tourney -- her team won first in the u13 division (she's almost 11, so that was great!). Then Saturday night came the storm and I ended…

He was probably just hitting on youse.

UGH. That's tough Mandy. There has to be some fix though ... my eldest had kneecap problems cos of tight quads and hammies pulling them out of position. Physical therapy was part of a solution. Otherwise, can you use this excuse to get a swimming pool for the backyard?

Gotta fix my eating. Two bad days. Forgot to report yesterday, was down a pound tho!! SW 219. W1 (7/1) 217. W2 (7/8) 213. W3 (7/15) 211. W4 (7/22) 209. W5 (7/29) 210 OOOOPSIE up +1 W6 (8/05) 206 W7 (8/12) 205 NSV running an 11-minute mile for the first time! Doing c25k.

I am not getting into this running thing yet, either. I, too, am on week 4 ... finished day 1 ... day 2 on deck. Hopefully, at some point, it will just click!

W4D1 done. Not really enjoying it. Getting it done though. 1. Where do you run? Treadmill only. I have a history of shin splints, so am working into this gently. 2. What time of day do you run? After work. 6-9pmish. 3. Do you do other activities on your off days? 45-60 minutes of elliptical before I run. Off days are 60…

Just finished week 3. Not loving it, but am doing it. Dreading the longer runs that are coming ....

Civilised people would not send rude or crude comments to a woman who is proud of her health and fitness and posts a bikini photo on a fitness site. On the other hand, most folks would realize any woman or man, especially an attractive one, would receive rude and crude comments if they posted a photo of them scantily clad…

Thanks Mandy! Great job logging in for 80 days in a row, and rock-solid reliable weight loss. Nice NSV too! I hafta think about sommat like that for me. (Not denim shorts tho ... too "Village People" for me. LOL.) Cheers, Sean

Doing great!! I, too, have the apple-belly thing going on, and it does NOT want to go away. LOL! I can be patient though. Great job on dropping 50lbs!!!! Cheers, Sean

Sounds good. I do 45-60 minutes cardio (treadmill, elliptical, bike) 5 days a week, machine weights 2x per week, and freeweights once. I try to take two days completely off and put a day between weights. My weight training lasts about 30 minutes. I pick three machines or exercises, do a set 8-15 reps on one, move to the…

Last week I'd had some beer a couple of times AND I was really sore from working out, so I figured the weight gain was water .... and judging on this week's weight, it was. Still, I'd have…

Am on week 3. Bumping for future reference. Good job all, some great info here! Sean

Jogging. Weight training is fine. Lunges, like them actually. Crunches and push-ups okay. I can pound out an hour on the elliptical. I just cannot cannot cannot get into jogging. Cheers, Sean

W3D2 tomorrow. Am not really enjoying this but I am succeeding. I am glad I went to a running store and got fitted for shoes though! Cheers, Sean

Checkout http://www.runnersworld.com for shoe reviews and brand names.

Hi, Go to a running store and have them fit you. And buy there. It's more expensive, but you get exactly the correct shoe and right fit. I went to http://www.fleetfeethartford.com ... there are other fleetfeet stores. Gluck! Sean

Got it done! Still not fun tho. W3D2 tomorrow ....

Thx!!

W3D1 is today. Nervous. Will get it done tho.

Yes! Thanks!!
