your diary settings should be set to highly active to reflect your work.

Then yes perhaps cutting back strength training to 2 times a week would be best. You're probably over-exerting your body.

You seem to eat all processed foods, fast food and take out. I think if you worked at eating a healthier balanced diet you wouldn't be so fatigued. While a calorie is a calorie when it comes to weight loss, the body still needs a balanced diet to function properly.

Wrong. The scale is not the end all be all of weight loss. You apparently missed the part where the OP said he went down a shirt size and from a size 50 pants to a 46...that's a pretty big improvement!

Don't get down on yourself and don't listen to the people who tell you not to eat this, this and this. The scale lies and should not be the end all be all of weight loss You're clothes are smaller(by quite a bit) and that is what matters most. =D Keep it up!

lol yes i'm always yelling at the tv =D

It's honestly pretty normal, especially if you're quite a bit out of shape, like myself. When i first did 30DS, i couldn't do the most of the moves fully and I had to stop. I did the 30 DS a second time around and i was much stronger and was able to do most of the moves completely and the advanced version. Don't worry…

You only have 10lbs to lose and that 10lbs is going to take some time to come off. The less you have to lose, the harder it is. Set your goals to losing half a pound a week and it should up your calories which should help your weight loss. Restricting calories too much can actually make losing weight harder because your…

Pick up a Jillian Michaels DVD, i recommend 30 day shred or ripped in 30 My bedroom is maybe 10'X12' with a full bed, computer, desk and desk chair, and full size tv and I still have room to do the workouts :)

My brother has been bothering me to make pancakes for a while now(he's a lazy boy lol) so this morning I finally decided to make some and I came on here and found this recipe...they were delicious and so filling!! great recipe!

I do know this but thanks for reiterating it !! I think too many people are terrified of going over their calories and end up harming themselves in the long run. It's ok to do it every once in a while and heck some people do it once a week on purpose and still have progress. Going over your calories by a few hundred once…

way to go!!! keep it up =D

DO EIT! Seriously, i had a whole cheat day yesterday and the scale went down this morning. It's not always a bad idea.

ditto. Contrary to popular belief, eating that little will not speed up weight loss. It will slow it down and destroy your metabolism in the process, making weight loss that much harder..

haha love it!!

i actually don't like fast food that much and it's not the reason I became overweight. Not everybody loves fast food. I like some of taco bell yes, but wendy's and mcdonald's..no not so much. Except wendy's chili, it's pretty good. Arby's has good roast beef. Am i saying i never ate mcdonald's and wendys? No, there was a…

a desk lamp!

I've always bought my jeans at maurices but i'm noticing they are lacking in quality these days and don't fit as well. Guess i'll be looking at some new brands soon...

omg people calm down, it's just the title of a workout DVD. I'm starting week 2 of it tomorrow, it's on heck of a workout that's for sure! lol I'm excited to see the results though!

lol i bet! but i use my phone for that stuff :-P

Yeah, seems a few people are confusing the Nook color with the E-ink Nook. Nook color is crap and i don't know why anyone would get one if they actually wanted to read books..so bad for your eyes!

Unless you got the Nook color, the regular Nook uses e-ink as well. I literally tried to turn the page the other day when i was reading because i was so engrossed and it seems so much like a real book.

Honestly, they have practically the exact same features. Minus the nook has a touch screen bottom and the kindle has a keyboard. I picked the Nook simply because I love barnes and noble and I did not like the keyboard on the Kindle.

Eat more. The body does not let go of fat when you're not giving it enough food.

I'm upping my calories to 1700 because my weight loss has stalled. After exercise calories i'll be eating closer to 2,000 Also after looking up more calculators and finding my TDEE is between 2500-2900, eating 2,000 sounds like a healthier deficit. If i gain weight, and i'm sure I won't, i'll be coming back to haunt all of…

I live in a "tornado alley" so tornado warnings don't scare me as much as they probably should, though i still pay attention to them. I think a hurricane would scare the living crap out of me if I lived on the coast and I'll never live in places like california due to earthquakes :)

See, that's awesome. That's why i said not every PT is a sham, I know there are some great ones out there and they'll give you great results. I was just trying to point out that people are too willing to pay a PT and take their advice without looking at their credentials. I think some people think "hey they're a PT they…

WRONG! I am working with a fitness/health professional. I am eating less than 1200 calories a day and AM losing weight! [/quote] you're 5'5" and 120lbs and want to lose more weight and a professional agreed with this? I'd question just how professional they are. Even with a small frame you are already at the bottom of a…

you should probably seek help.

wrong. you're on your way to destroying your metabolism. You need to try upping your calories and eating exercise calories instead of lowering your calories. lowering your calories does nothing but make your body think it's not getting enough fuel so it holds onto everything it has to keep you living. Eating less than 1200…
