it's bs.... and laziness. I think we make time for what's important to us, so what they are basically saying is that whatever they are too busy for isn't important to them.

I work from home full time currently, and have for a long time. I get up and go to the gym before work (get up at 4am if I have to) and then come back home and work. My gym is a half hour drive from me. Mostly because I work from home, the gym is my social time. I need to get out from these four walls of my house! ;) I…

kettlebells are a great workout tool, same thing can be done with a dumbbell though. :)

just f*ing do it!! no excuses. period. :)

I did an entire three months of half marathon training, which included LONG runs on the weekends..... didn't lose an ounce. cardio burns calories, friends, not so much on the fat. once I stopped the compulsive running and added more strength training back in, lost more weight. Now i'm almost through another round of half…

zumba is in there, and you can change the macros you track. all in your settings.

good luck with that quitting thing getting you where you want to be. ((sorry but i hate it when people get so down on themselves and losing weight - and LIVING HEALTHIER - for really no reasaon other than frustration. I'm sure you realize that you are where you are now because you have given up in the past, multiple times…

i'm quite sure you're eating below your bmr, which is not healthy. that is the amount of calories your body would use if you were in a coma all day, which I'm sure you're not. so you need more calories than that. You should NOT eat below bmr, ever. secondly, you need to concentrate on the quality of food you're putting in…

change up your workout - increase the weights...... gotta keep confusing your body - and to me if I'm not sore, I didn't workout hard enough. period. :) *Unless it's a recovery day or something*

I try to eat plenty of healthy fats -- coconut oil, almonds/cashews, nut butters, avocado, etc. my body responds very well to this. LOW FAT gets you pretty much nowhere but skinny fat. odd as it seems.

I was going to suggest spartacus. it is NOT boring. it's tough. when you want to change it up, increase your weight, do extra rounds! I've been doing it since january and have seen fantastic results..... I do that twice a week right now..... I try to do pitaiyo once a week, and I run 2-3 times a week and cycle 1-2times a…

you eat at your bmr, no less. screw everyone else starving themselves at 1200. I've lost 117lbs so far and I eat around 2000 a day. period. SW 303.4 CW 186.4 30y/o female, 5'6''. I work out a lot, running, strength training/metacon, cycling, pitaiyo (blend of yoga, pilates, tai chi)

this.

sodium! cut your sodium. also I see one day of logging in the past 10+ days. if you're not logging here are you truly holding yourself accountable for what you're eating? try to eat clean. nonpackaged stuff. get rid of the fruit snacks and have an apple. ditch the popcorn (except maybe once in a while) fresh foods, less…

I'm an asics fan. I know someone with foot issues who recently got newtons and she loves them. I also have read that mizuno's are good for 'larger' runners (I've been thinking about trying them, as I'm still considered 'larger' I guess at 186lbs). I swear by asics though. but yes, go to a running store, and get properly…

sweating is good. get over your fear. ;)

Love foam rolling. I also use a lacross ball to roll my feet and bootay! works wonders, hurts more than a foam roller.... also I have the stick and it works amazingly well too. I do my butt, calves, hams, it bands.... but you can roll pretty much anything. the lacross ball is also great on the back/shoulders against a wall…

feel free to add me if you like. always happy to lend support!! :) about me - 5'6'' 30y/o female start weight 303.4 current weight 186.4

if you're exercising, and your bmr is 1900, 1400 probably isn't enough - hence the desire to binge. side note. you are female. there are two times when I feel like I can't get enough to eat. after an intense long workout or run and my body is screaming feed me more! OR just before I get my period., in which case my…

you can't spot reduce, but there are workouts that are better than others. I've noticed great upper body results from doing the spartacus workout the past month.

1. you're not getting anywhere near enough protein. the number mfp suggests should be a MINIMUM. 2.how much water are you drinking? because you're not tracking. where did you get your calorie goal? are you exercising?

you're eating quite a bit of processed food = not healthy. maybe you should change your workouts. change your intensity. (i.e. a level 5 on most ellipticals is not that hard -- a level 9-10 is my minimum/warm up level if I get on an elliptical)

she will probably develop health issues as she gets older. a ton of health issues are linked to being over weight. I, personally, lost weight because my mom and dad (my mom is over weight and my dad always was) both have health issues..... between the two of them - diabetes, heard disease, chronic back/knee issues, high…

being tired from a work out is normal. However, overall I have a ton of energy. I work out hard, I run a lot of miles, and sometimes I'm like a zombie after working out (hello endorphin high) but overall, I feel amazing, and tha'ts what matters. The gym has become my second home. maybe you aren't doing the right workout.…

always over! i look at the protein & fiber as MINIMUMS!

I mix a tbsp almond butter with 1/4 - 1/2 scoop chocolate protein powder, and put it on a slice of p28 bread. Tasty and filling. and great pre-workout!

doctors are human too - and don't know everything. my experience is eating too little (which to me it sounds like you are - it deosn't make it right just because a doctor said to do it - they f' things up all the time!) doesn't help you lose weight. When I have plateaued, I have usually had to increase my calories. I amc…

Happy to lend support. Have gone from sedentary/lazy 303.4lbs to 186.4lbs (so far) - have run two half marathons and multiple 5 & 10k races. training for tribal quest (5mile obstacle course).... workout 6 days a week! :)

epsom salt baths. foam rolling & stretching. working out more (yes, for real)
