Welcome! I go to that exact gym...Maybe I'll see you around! And I'm always needing advice-Thanks for offering your help to everyone! :flowerforyou:

Amazingly enough, I was reading the posts and found a someone who lives in Tulsa, OK, and works at the gym that I go to! What a small world! I was just wondering if anyone else is located around the Tulsa area...I'm always looking to meet new people! And Ashley, I'll be seeing you at the gym this afternoon!

Aw! That's so cute!! :bigsmile:

Huh, I'm reading this as I slurp down a Coke Zero. Figures! And 3 LITERS of water...How many ounces is that?? Anyone?

Thank you, everyone, for your responses! Sometimes I just feel like I'm eating too much during the day, even though I'm staying within my calories. Does that make sense? I hope everyone had a great Wednesday!

Oh my gosh...I don't think I could ever do this. I just love food too much *Sigh* :frown: I think that's my problem...I want to feel full after a meal...But feeling full is kind of scarey for me also. Geez.

Wow! That's a great tip on the yogurt...I'm going to have to switch!! Any maybe I should mention that on a "light" day I'm burning 400-600 calories at the gym-On a heavy day, much more than that. If that helps!

I completely agree...I'm 23 and am constantly overwhelmed by what we're "supposed" to look like in our 20's. Starting Weight: 163 :( Goal Weight: 135-140

This is what I have for lunch every day- Smart Ones-310 Yogurt-110 Orange-70 Do you think this is too many calories or too much food?? Just curious...:smile:

I ordered some new shoes online-Livestrong Nike Shox-And they finally came in today. They're really cute and all, but they look so freakin' huge! Like skis!! I have a size 9 foot-Eek! But normally I don't look at my shoes and say, "Wow! Those are some big 'uns!" For some reason these look incredibly long to me. Maybe it…

I am so upset that Amy P. had to go...But she looked GREAT when they showed where she is now!! I'm so proud of her...Now I don't know who I want to win. Someone from the Black team-They had an AWESOME weigh in!! Seriously, how do these people pull 5-8 pound losses and I can't even manage a 1 pound loss? Any idea? Anyone??

My husband, daughter, and I are going to a pumpkin carving party tomorrow night...I need some good ideas for my pumpkin! My husband has a template of a deer (big hunter, so it's perfect), we got my daughter an Elmo template (she's going to be Elmo for Halloween-She's obsessed!), and all I could come up with is Britney…

I agree completely!! I bought some new running shoes and a few new shirts/shorts to wear to the gym, and I have so much fun putting on my new "outfits" to workout! Whenever I think about not going, I think about those cool new shoes or cute new shirt I bought that's sitting in my bag...And since I got them only for…

I bought a Polar F-11 on ebay for $130 (Great deal considering the gym I go to was trying to sell me one for $169!) and I love it! Now there's no more guessing on how many calories I burn, and I don't have to use the workout machine's "estimate", which is always much higher than what my HRM says! I think that you need to…

What is a reasonable time-line for losing body fat %age? I'm at 33% right now, and my ultimate goal is 20%. But what would be good goal date for reaching 28%? Just 5% less...Weeks? Months? I have no idea!! Any input would be appreciated!!

I did a Zumba class this past Saturday and my HRM read 480 at the end of the class, but I had burned at least 100 on the eliptical before the class started. So I only burned about 380-400 calories.

I can relate to you completely about "really changing this time", and then a week later going back to my old habits. This website has helped so much, but sometimes it's still a struggle for me to stay on track. Something that works for me is planning my meals the day before, and packing any food I might need during the day…

Everyone is so funny today! I'm sitting here cracking up at my desk...And getting some pretty weird looks from co-workers!! :laugh:

HaHa! So good! I e-mailed to my friends!!

I was checking out my Myspace and noticed one of the ads to the side of the page...There have been TONS of diet ads lately, but this paticular one made me burst out laughing...It says, and I quote, "Lose 40 Pounds in 2 Weeks! If I can do it, so can you!" You're kidding me!! I feel bad for the people that actually believe…

My Polar F11 came in the mail yesterday (ordered it from ebay and got a heck of a deal!) and this morning was my first time to use it...I love it!!! I was shocked at the difference in calories from the machine to the HRM though. The eliptical read 330 calories and my HRM only had 275 burned...Wow! But I made up for the in…

Sorry, I have no answers!! Just saving for later :smile:

Wow! That is awesome! Congratulations!!!! :flowerforyou:

Nutriwhip? What is this?!? And where do I find it?

Don't get one! They're awful!! I've become obsessed with mine (which is digital from Wal-Mart. It allows you to save your last weigh in so you can see how much weight you lose from time to time...Or gain, I guess!) and I've tried to throw it away NUMEROUS times, only to be sneaking out of the house at odd hours of the…

Do people look at you funny when they see you lunging to the fax/copy machine?? :laugh: I work in a VERY small office, so my co-workers would be laughing at me all day, plus giving me a hard time about it, I'm sure!

That is so awesome that it was accurate!! I'm going to start tracking mine just to see if it adds up...Geez I'm excited!!

I finally got some new running shoes...I try to get a new pair every 6-8 months and I broke down on my lunch break and bought some. But now I'm pumped to go back to the gym! I've already been this morning, and now that I have new shoes to wear around I'm ready for round 2!! Hmmm...Seeing as how new workout gear is so…

Hey All! I met with my trainer yesterday and it went really well! I didn't gain as much weight as I thought I did from my 10 days on continuous binging, plus I learned a lot of things...Such as my sodium intake is THROUGH THE ROOF! Geez...Over 2000 mg...Yikes! So, the SmartOnes that I pack for lunch every day obviously…

Wow-Talk about stuffing yourself. That's what I've done for 10 days straight, and to top it off-NO GYM! At all. I don't know what happened...I had a melt down. That's for sure. And when I talk about stuffing myself, I mean HUGE binges that left me feeling so bloated/depressed, but then I would go on another binge 1-2 hours…
