Hey Elizabeth! I know this is very late...I had a family emergency to tend to so I was wondering if you could maybe add these totals to next week's chart? If not, it's cool, but I still want to check in. - Number of days you drink 8 cups of water(3 pts): 2 - Number of days you have 2 (e.g. 1/2c) servings of fruit (3 pts):…

I'm going to give it a shot again. I think things have settled down just enough for me to focus on something other than work lol I don't think I'll be logging all my food (still attempting to stay away from that aspect), but my challenge this week will be to recalculate my calorie intake. Since I have a desk job now…

MFP is set up so that the 1400 they give you is already a deficit. The point of eating back calories is to ensure your deficit isn't too large. Feel free to eat.

Your net should NOT be zero. I know what you mean, grimendale, but I think you mean that the total consumption less exercise (net) should be your daily intake goal. Net should never be zero. ETA an example. If your goal is 1500, your net should be 1500.

I will give it a shot :D I need something to get me back in it after this last week.

Aaaaaaand that's three. Wooooo!

Just a couple things: 1) It's only been a month or so since you joined. I wouldn't beat yourself up too much. 2) Are you sure you have the right calorie allotment? You'll get a lot of people telling you to eat more. I took a look at your diary and on some of the days you logged, you aren't even netting 1200. Check out this…

Totally agreed on switching up workouts. Our bodies are quite efficient. I wouldn't necessarily do MORE in one day, I would try to find something you haven't done yet. Zumba, pilates, yoga, strength training, kick-boxing...you get the idea :) Also, have you recalculated your intake? With a huge loss of 50 pounds, I'm…

Good to know! Haha :)

Wth...is that Benedict Cumberbatch?!

Oh lord, I hope this works.
-
Totally! And, I have to point out, some of the fitspo pics look like thinspo...but in workout clothes. I think it's a trap.
-
I'm totally on board with healthy living and striving for strength rather than thinness, but I still think fitspo isn't much better than thinspo. Every woman's body is going to end up in a different place when she reaches her body's goal weight. The pics I've seen of fitspo seem like they would give some women a complex…

Honestly? Enjoy the weekend. Log if you want, but I really wouldn't worry about it. One weekend isn't going to destroy what you've done thus far :) It's only when you make it a daily/weekly thing that it may become a problem. Have a great time at Pride :D

I just found out about this the other day, too. I felt like I'd been living under a rock, I swear. I had a friend who struggled with anorexia in high school. She's healthy now...cute little boy and a loving husband to boot...but COME ON. "Nothing tastes as good as being skinny feels." WTF.

You must have das cookie!!!! But seriously, just have a cookie. It's fine. Unless you plan on eating a family pack of oreos, I doubt one cookie will mess up your mojo.
-
I wouldn't worry too much about it. I wouldn't eat half the cake and call it a slice lol but not being exact for this one thing isn't going to hurt anything :)
-
Well, I'm no expert and I don't know if this will do what you need/want, but I really like this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Wjz6lGslo4 Edit just to say that the video is kind of long, but I don't even use it anymore. This just demonstrates the workout. Once I got it, I just did it on my own.

Yep. I've definitely had the flinging iPhone on a treadmill experience. I hit my earbud cord and my phone decided to go for a run. In my panic I decided to just stop on the treadmill while it was moving lol Luckily I just hitched a ride and stepped off the end...no falling, thank goodness!!
-
This is awesome :) Totally going to do it. I have jars and marbles already, too! Thank you for this!!! <3
-
Another poster said it. MAKE yourself get up and do something. I had the same problem when I started, but I knew I wanted to take it slow. I didn't change my diet at first, I would just DO something. Go for a walk, dust the cobwebs off my elliptical and start moving, clean the house, do the dishes, WHATEVER :) It becomes…

http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/943139-weight-loss-cheat-sheet-ipoarm (I hope the link works. If not, just copy into your browser.) I took a look at your diary and it seems that you must log your foods elsewhere. The days you did log here, you were netting very few calories. So you could be retaining weight by not…

Wow...what a difference! Just by using my BF% in the calculation, I got a completely different number than what I'd been using. Turns out my TDEE -20% (moderately active) is about 1700. I will have to give this a shot. Admittedly, these numbers seem much more reasonable. I'm excited to try this!
