Don't feel bad...It's life... sometimes you're going to eat some brownies. Or have some beers... or eat a cupcake, an ice cream, and maybe couple of candy bars... OMG! Your life isn't over and your progress isn't going to derail over one mistake! EAT DINNER!! Sometimes you just have to realize that life is going to happen…

^^^^ exactly!

I have fallen into this same addiction before.... it's crazy!! I love to go to the gym!! I haven't been there for over 2 hours in a long time. And just like one of the other guys said... you can go everyday; just split up your time and what you work on. I have gone before and just walked on the treadmill ... and counted…

daily multi-vitamin ... a prescription potassium... a B12 and an Iron pill.

If you're only taking in 1200 calories a day...this is already a deficit. Then if you work out and you've "earned" 250, 500, 1000+ calories by working out... that's an even bigger deficit. ****your body will need those work out calories if you want to build muscle. You don't have to eat all your workout calories back; but…

This is exactly how I operate!! I used to really go out and drink... but I have noticed in the last couple of years that I don't have the tolerance that I once had... and why waste 4-10-15 days of hard work... on ONE night out on a the town... Honestly... I've cut back to 2 drinks at any one time... and I am trying to keep…

Funny to see the number of people that are so hard on themselves... maybe instead of putting yourself down... first thing in the morning.... you should make it a point to find one thing about yourself that you can tell is either improving or that you really do like about yourself... Why start the day with a negative…

MY STOMACH LOOKS SO MUCH SMALLER!!!! AHHHHHH!!!! Then I put up my arms and did a lil' flexin'... and I thought... damn! I am turning in to a bad *kitten*!! lol!

CHEESE!!! ... OH MAN!!! I love it!! Gotta have it... I usually will eat the fat free slices with breakfast; but during the day... I use the normal stuff. LOVE CHEESE!!! :)

AMAZING!!! Keep it up!!! I can only imagine how proud your dad would be if he could see you today! :cry:

This is mine!!! I also... **love it when other people in the people stop me and tell me how good I am looking... Plus, every time I am able to lift more, go longer, do something at a pace that was my beginner level... I am reminded of exactly why I started in the first place!!!

I've had a lot of people attempt to start... I had a guy that I was dating attempt to join MFP... he lasted 3 days! I have had countless friends say that they will meet me at the gym... one showed up ... ONE TIME! And was there for about 20 mins... talked the whole time... drove me nuts! She never has been back! I get a…

I usually set my Pandora to Destiny's Child!!! Seems like that has the perfect mix of workout jams!!! :) Although I did catch a little bit of the top 30 songs of 2003 and it seems like a lot of those jams were on that list! lol **could be my age tho! :laugh:

Central Arkansas!!! :cry: **secretly wishes she was still living overseas**

I never eat before I hit the gym in the morning. I've never had a problem feeling faint. I have had a lot of people tell me to eat something before I work out... I tried having half a banana before working out. But honestly I just like sticking to my normal 4 glasses of water plus my pre-workout. (noexplode, at the…

Scales ... ugh! No one needs those!! I work out with a girl that's the same height as me...and at one point 4 months ago...we were the same weight. Only she looked a helluva lot better. Because her's was all lean muscle. Now... I look the way she did...and I've only lost about 7lbs in the past couple of months. But my…

Prevail is the name of my local gym... been a member for over 5 yrs...but I didn't actually make it a habit until about 18 months ago. I really wish they offered free tanning... but other than that; it's 24hrs and I like the fact that when I get there at 5am...it's the regulars. Most people are helpful and if I could just…

Steak....someone just posted about it on another thread...gotta have one!

That's exactly what I buy myself!! New workout clothes, new shoes, new headbands, new lifting gloves... ahhh, the list goes on and on!! The best part is when you work so hard that the new stuff gets to big!! YES!!! Size Small... I will wear you by March!! :tongue:

It's what's for dinner!! ---no really... now I want one! (not 72oz, tho!) :laugh:

That's what I am beginning to see on these threads... it's the same people time after time. Apparently they have nothing else better to do. I wish I had that kind of free time... I'm always looking for friends that are serious about logging and working out. Christian is always nice; because I am saved and I believe it's…

I would just figure out what your TDEE is... and subtract 20%... which seems to be the suggestion on these boards if you don't feel as though you are getting enough calories. Are you putting in that you have a highly active lifestyle? I wonder if everyone get's 1200 calories. When I started seriously lifting about 18…

Exactly!! Don't get me wrong, I like to put up big "calorie numbers"... but the truth is this... I love my 4:30am wake up and I love my 5am to 6:30am gym time!! And I know how it makes feel. I know that as long as I cut back on my food and make better decisions... it will pay off like it should! Ultimately...it is a…

I wish someone would've told me back when I was like 280lbs... Hey, you might want to lay off the donuts and start taking a walk here and there. Sometimes you have to be told point blank! At first the truth will piss you off; then it will set you free!!

Ugh! This is exactly why I just stay single... "he's not my best friend"... geesh! 2 mins ago I never even heard of the site; but now I am clearly not surprised at all... society! SMH!! Respect... clearly she doesn't have any for your "friend"... or herself...

If I do intense weight training... and I mean... hard work! No slacking off... I usually log it as circuit training! But I usually take off 5-10 mins because I know there will be times I am taking breaks between sets, etc. But that is how I calculate my weight training time. There's also another one listed under cardio...…

If I am in a pinch I just get something that's low in calories... I don't think having a happy meal is going to kill me... plus, everything can give you cancer...lol! It's life... live it!! Just eat what you want... log the calories and stay on track. Unfortunately a Big Mac doesn't really allow for much else all day; but…

vigorous in my mind... usually means you are working up a sweat and you know that you are giving it your all!!!

I am a single working mom... I have 3 "teenagers"... (ok, one is 11, but she might as well be a teenager, she's the youngest) I work from 9-6 everyday. I commute 40 mins in the morning and 40-60 mins at night depending on traffic. I started working out over a year and half ago. My children could tell that I was depressed…

I like giving my body the full work out... everyday!! lol! I usually spend M-F at the gym for at least an hour and half. usually 10 mins warming up/stretching/combo 30-40 mins weight training (whatever I feel like doing) usually alternate upper and lower Then it's my goal time!! I spend 15-20 mins working on a certain goal…
