how is logging your food here any different than in a paper journal? And here you can get peer support and advice which may very well be more pertinent to your situation. Doctors know a lot, don't get me wrong, but they do NOT know everything, that would be impossible. So to put all of your trust in them is just not smart.…

I aim for around 500 calories per workout. That's 45-60 minutes on cardio machines for me. that's as much time as I have.....if that.

Yup, I don't see myself nearly as big as I am in the mirror, but in pictures, geesh....I wish I could figure it out, see the real me in the mirrow.....altho looking at myself naked in the mirror is different, I see myself as I am, but I put clothes on and I don't look half bad......

This is what I live by. a fever keeps me home for sure, but if it's just a head cold, if I feel up to it, I'm there.

wear a pedometer and start setting goals of getting in X number of steps and keep increasing by, say, 500 per week more from where you've started. drink plenty of water and that may require more trips to the bathroom which is more walking. maybe google cube yoga or something like that to get some exercises you can do in…

I do most of my bra shopping at Nordstrom (40G currently) and Elomi brand seems to be good for me. Also Wacoal makes some bras that look great under shirts (almost a pinup look without a shirt on). Traditional stores aren't going to have a wide variety of sizes because most women wear the wrong size and don't care. aside…

I tried out for basketball in 7th grade, realized nope, and was the manager of the team that year which was equally as fun. Freshman - Junior year of high school I played tennis tho, liked that a lot, junior year we had a new coach who whipped us into shape, lowest weight of my "grown" life, 140, I was SKINNY! then she…

I'm quite large (gosh, I wish I was a D again!) and I just put one of the cheapy non-cup-sized ones OVER my normal bra and they typically give a decent amount of support. Aside from strapping them down, they're going to move, but they move a LOT less when I double up. They continue to fit as I get smaller or are cheap to…

I'm in, but can I set my goal for 750? I just put in my "45x3" weekly numbers and that would be a REAL stretch goal, which would be good for me. lengthen normal workouts AND add another 1 or 2 per week. We're so busy this month, it'll be good to have focus on a goal rather than just number of times I go to the gym!

I love telling people that my husband is 6 inches taller, but his inseam is 2 inches short than mine! LOL I'm 32/33 inseam and I'm actually surprised sometimes that regular pants/jeans fit ok. other times, they're like capris on me and sometimes only after the initial wash which is even more frustrating. Before I had my…

I weighed in on Wednesday and then again on Sunday when we got home from the in-laws. I ate what I wanted, but my Sister-in-law pointed out that our Mother-in-law only cooks one meal a day and then snacks otherwise, so there wasn't much offered and she hadn't been to Costco in a while, so there weren't even many snacks of…

I get that on occasion, I'm "only" 5'10" tho, even another inch and people would probably react more. but my hubby gets it a LOT! he's 6'4" and probably 400 pounds (perhaps more, we don't honestly know) so since he's so wide in addition to being tall, people don't think he's as tall as he is until they get up next to him,…

290 here and my 24s are getting big, some 22s fit, others not. oh and some 24s don't fit either....I hate clothing sizes.....I remember the smallest I ever fit into in high school, at 140 pounds, was a size 10. that is equal to a size 4 or 6 now....just for perspective.

Yeah, I always got the "act your age, not your shoesize" when I was 9 and 10 because they were the same. size 8 in 3rd grade. really tho, sasquatch or bigfoot were in there.....

Welcome, I've got over 100 to lose yet, but you're in good company with lots to lose and MFP is the way to go! I love it here!

Ok, I picked an app on my ipod and apparently, it's quite a bit different than the cool runnings schedule. I'm sticking to it, but I guess I didn't realize there were a few different schedules out there. it's called 5K runner app. it changes every day or two, it's not the same thing three days in a row like what I'm seeing…

I think I'm redoing W1D3 today, I did it on Friday but just don't think I'm ready to move on yet. It didn't kill me (bonus) but I dunno, just didn't feel as good about it as I did on the first two days.

I might consider it after I finish the C25K. I wanna say my gym did it or something very close a few months ago, so maybe I'd just sign up for that if they offered it again. I took have a problem working out once I'm home. the couch knows my name, gives me a wink and I'm done!

11-11.5 depending on brand. 12s are just too big most of the time. 43 in most euro-size shoes which is a 13 to some US brands, idiots! No, when I Was a 10.5, I couldn't squeeze my foot in a 40 or 41, but thanks for playing! my daily wear shoes are Birkenstock Footprints mary janes. I rock my Yo Gabba Gabba vans on the…

Love my Polar FT4.....and plenty PLENTY of room left around my chest, I'm a size 22. Word of warning tho, Target's price is $105....as opposed to the $90 tag at other stores like REI (where if you're a member, you get dividend as well!). Just thought that was weird, Target isn't the super store people think it is!

Yeah, I say "zipper" and people look at me and then feel below their belt. LOL it's like they never took a drivers ed class! That's how it's supposed to work, but people are selfish and think they're trip is more important and being ONE car ahead will somehow get them there 10 times faster. I admit I'm impatient with…

the SAHMs who live less than a half mile from school and DRIVE their kids instead of walking them.

In honor of it being Corduroy day 11/11/11 (looks like corduroy) I tried on my old brown cords. at one time, they were one of only two pairs of pants I had to wear to work because I refused to buy more clothes. I got them 2 years ago when DD was about to have her one-year photos (a month late). I put them on yesterday to…

So far I haven't had an ounce of soreness. On Wednesday I did W1D2 and I can't say I didn't struggle, but I did 20 minutes of elliptical afterwards (I'd been doing 50 minutes of elliptical with a 20 minute treadmill stroll to cool down previously) and I felt great! I'm doing W1D3 today after an eye appointment so we'll see…

I've never even thought of adjusting the scale based on frame, I never put much stock in BMI because it's just too simple....and we are not. but it does make me feel better to see that the goal weight I'm aiming for IS closer to the BMI on this chart. Altho according to other research, i'm just a medium frame based on…

I always hated running when I was younger, but I just started the C25K on Monday and I'm totally excited. so far no pain or swelling. I don't see myself running marathons or anything, but burning a few more calories in a normal workout sounds good to me, so long as there's no adverse side effects!

I'd love to see 175 again, but anything under 200 is going to be a happy happy day! 5'10" age 36.

Thanks for the add. it's about time they added groups like this!

I'm at 1860 at my current weight. I adjust it every time I log a new weight. I eat maybe half of my exercise calories, so I get somewhere around 1900-2000 most days....I've got over 100 pounds to lose so anywhere between 1800-2200 is going to allow me to lose pretty fast, honestly. In my younger years, I did a diet that…

5'10" here.
