  • I fix the car, Panara's makes the sammies!
  • I haven't read through all the posts but set boundries and then run as far as you can in the opposite direction! For you that may mean NO male relationships or being with them alone. You may also want to see a therapist regularly to make sure you are getting everything you need (validation, romance, etc) from your…
  • Try limiting the amount of time you workout. For instance..."I will push myself as much as I can for 30 mins" so you're not working out hours and hours a day. Or if you have a HRM then "I will burn x amount of calories" and nothing more. Also, find something that you love to do that isn't physical so you can enjoy yourself…
  • I'm at 1,700 but I don't count my exercise calories. When I do that I starve on the days I don't workout so I've averaged out about the week and have gone from there. If I counted my calories then my net would be about 1,300 calories...but I can't eat that little the 2 days a week I don't work out. I've been really bad the…
  • If I want to live off of twinks and coke that is MY choice!!! Granted I believe we need education...but we don't need control!
  • Ha, I'm in Jax too! And the heat/humidity is why I stopped running and started Insanity! I can't wait til it cools down again and I can start running.
  • I take the other approach! ENJOY IT!!! It's a vacation! Eat what you want just be careful not to over stuff yourself and you'll be fine :)
  • Walking is just burning calories which means weight loss. Sit-ups aren't going to do anything but focus on a few muscles and while stretching is great, it doesn't build muscles! I'd focus on workouts that include squats, lunges, push-ups, planks and other exercises that are considered "strength training." Building muscle…
  • It's normal. I've learned a good smoothie while I'm giving and eating a ton extra for the rest of the day helps but I'll still pass out and take a nap lol. The best thing you can do is listen to your body and let it recover. And true recovery time is 60 days (which is why you have to wait to give more!) If you do platelets…
  • http://www.theredheadriter.com/2012/02/healthy-baked-chicken-stuffed-red-bell/ This is my new favorite recipe! I add in some zucchini too and the whole family loved it!
  • Weekly Goal: 3,500 Calories! Mon: X Tues: X Wed: calories burned (how they were burned) Thur: calories burned (how they were burned) Fri: calories burned (how they were burned) Sat: calories burned (how they were burned) Sun: calories burned (how they were burned) Total: Left to go:
  • Don't be afraid to ask! There is a place here that makes "lighter" versions of their stuff if you ask!
  • There is healthy food in Chicago? I used to live there and I have tons of family there...I always hate visiting because I gain weight EVERY time I go lol.
  • I would first limit carbs if you're eating a good amount of carbs. I started dropping again by limiting those (including high carb veggies and all fruits) and taking in more protein. Also, have you tried changing up your exercise? If you've done more cardio focus on weights for a little bit. Try HIIT workouts too!
  • I'm 152 pounds and half ran half marathons, done JM 30 Day Shred, spent time in the gym, etc...and I couldn't make it through the INSANITY fit test the first time because I ended up throwing up. It's one hell of a workout but you can always back off and go at your own pace. You can do it no matter where your fitness level…
  • I drink at least a half of gallon of water a day and I've been getting as much if not more fiber than I "usually" get (when I'm not watching what I eat).
  • I wouldn't worry about it if you are hitting the gym right after. The whole "late night eating" thing is more about adding in extra calories than it is eating right before bed. If you stop losing weight, just change it up and see if that helps, but as long as you are still losing I wouldn't worry about it.
  • I was on anxiety/depression meds to help me sleep due to job stress...and once I stopped and witched to lunesta (amazing sleep in a pill) it made a world of a difference! While I'm all for improving diet and exercising first to see if that helps...if you are doing that and still having problems with…
  • Harley - That cat that actually attacks my pit bulls! Bully, my 2 year old male who I've had since 8 weeks. Lucy, my 3 year old girl! Although this was taken last halloween...apparently the only other good pictures I have are of her eating and it's a little graphic since she is on a raw diet :laugh:
  • Actually...I think that's a good option. I say try it for a week and see what happens! Also, do some research into the zig-zag method! Some people are anti 'saving' or 'moving calories' but I can't believe how much of a difference it has made for others! I've lost almost 2 pound since Friday by doing that!
  • Did you stay within your nutritional goals? no :( Did I reach yesterday's personal goal? no :( What did I do yesterday that I am proud of? not eat more What would I have done differently? Ate about half of what I did (no joke that still would have been 1,500 calories) What is today's personal goals? Stay with calories!!!…

  • I do Captain and diet coke but my biggest downfall is food when I drink! So just keep dancing!
  • I'm back with full force!!!! When I stopped counting calories I thought my hour of sweat pouring exercise would still help me lose weight. I was WRONG!!! I weighed myself this morning (first time in over a month). And I hit 152! My original starting weight last Sept! I lost 12 pounds before so I know I can do it again! So…
  • Ok....I started this Challange in Jan! It was to do 430 miles by May 7th I did good but I slacked off for two months and now I only have two weeks left (I'm leaving to go out of town on the 1st) :noway: My husband has told me to basically give up only didn't use those words. I have 230 miles left to go. The most I've done…
  • No gym for me today! There is about 4-6 inches of snow on the ground and it's suppose to keep falling for the rest of the day. Everything on post that isn't required to be open is closed (so we only have gas stations and the grocery store. Needless to say I do have to drive in it today so instead of my 30 min ride to the…
  • WHY is it the first day back my professor decides to bring freaking cookies (homemade!) to class!!!!!!!! :explode: Then of course I have the really skinny pregnant girl sitting next to me and her and the girl next to her bring a bag over and try and pass it down to me!! NOOOO!!!! I will be strong (oh they smell so good!)…
  • I'm finally 1 pound away from my ticker weight :embarassed: (but that's not back considering I only gained 2 pounds last month and ate ice cream every night for over 2 weeks straight :sick: Today is going to be rough because I got to go find out what is wrong with my phone, hit the complete otherside of town to pick up dog…
