First of all congradulations on your inches lost! Second of all *hugs* Third You can do whatever works for you right now but probably down the road you might want to track your calories on here. Especially if you hit a plateau. Fourth Show her this post.

Try finding a site that can calculate it. I found this but idk how accurate it is.... 6. Paint thinner You know you need to paint the house, but you're lacking the motivation. Does it help to know that three hours of house painting will burn 1,026 calories? And by putting on that second coat, you might drop a whole pants…

PS: I love your shoes in the last pic!

Thats amazing! Congrads!

Definitely a notification deal would be great. I love the idea of open chat boards too! I think that there should be certain message boards designated to your style of fitness. Like 30 day shred, or insanity, or running etc. I would love to just be able to see posts from people who are doing the same exercises as me.

I have an HRM and my heart rate is usually in the 180s when I am running and around 140's when I'm walking.

I started a bc plan a month ago and had it in the middle of taking the active pills but technically its due this week. So idk if that counts or not since I technically already had it.

17 day diet is a good weight loss starter. No real secrets, just hard work, eating within my calories, and doing what ever I can to burn some extra calories. A lot of people on here like the julian michaels dvds 30 day shred and get ripped in 30. Theyre like $10

I'm 5'0 and my goal weight right now is 125. I started at 150.6, Currently 132.4. I picked 125 because that was a healthy BMI for me. I would like to be smaller around 115 but I have really muscular thighs which might prevent me from getting down that low but I will try and if it doesn't work, I will be happy at 125.

My sides, I usually lay on my stomach with one leg bent and my sides would touch unless i barely had my leg bent and now I can put my leg at a 90 degree angle and still no touching :)

Just do the walking brisk pace for however long you did it.

I ran for 11 straight minutes without stopping and I was totally sore from my workout the day before but kicked my butt into gear to do it anyways AND it started raining while I was out but I didn't stop. That is what I've done today to make me feel proud. (Everyday I think about the biggest loser theme song and ask myself…

Eat around 1200 a day and burn maybe 200-300 a day.

Sounds like you need to do something new with your exercise. Buy a kick boxing dvd or something and get all that frustration out. Find something to get yourself excited about exercise like a "prize" when you've walked so many miles. Like a pedicure or a new outfit. Something to boost your spirits. I've also incorporated…

Where does the tape say you're gaining? Arms? Legs? Could be muscle forming. I go by the scale unless the scale says nothing, then I measure by tape. But its mostly just a feel good process. Like hey you may not have lost weight this week but you lost an inch off your hips.

AMAZING!!!! You are such an inspiration! So proud of you and I don't even know you!

That is so cute! Congradulations!

It depends on how much you have to lose and by your picture it doesn't look like you have much at all to lose. It always takes the longest to lose the dreaded "last 10 lbs." Your first 4 lbs were probably water weight, Make sure youre eating your exercise calories. Not doing the same workout or eating the same foods every…

My work pants I bought about a month ago, no longer fit. I am constantly pulling them up or using my server apron as a temporary belt. Luckily I didn't take the tags off of the other two pairs I bought or I'd have 3 pairs of pants that don't fit!

I agree with everything you say except the diet sodas. Research I have read says drinking diet soda that uses apartame can lead to people craving sweets more often than not. And I have experienced it myself since I stopped drinking diet coke, I don't crave sweets as often. That could be a factor as to why the diet drinkers…

I had pretty much the same problem only mine was 3 days off a week and 4 days on as a server. The advice I got was put yourself to the level you are on the days you work. Find out how many calories are added by doing so. How much is it? For me, since I am short it was nothing. So it honestly didn't matter about me changing…

Okay a few things to help with motivation! 1. Add people! It helps to see what other people are doing and usually their diaries are open when you friend them so you have help food wise. Second off adding people always helps me stay motivated to work out because I see other people are working out and I get a little…

Honestly I think if you're truely hungry, you should eat. Try maybe drinking a bottle of water before eating though just in case because dehydration can act the same as hunger. If you're still hungry after that then totally eat. Not eating sets you up for a possible binge later. Try more fiber. And when you do eat when…

I want to fit in some zip up boots and be able to run in just a sports bra without feeling self concious :)

Yeah I've lost 12 inches and 6 of them are from my boobs. I don't want to go bra shopping to find I went from a C to a B :( Especially when the J-lo booty of mine hasnt gone away much. I used to have a perfect hour glass and now I'm turning into a pear :(

I started the fit test today, if you want to add me!

Thanks shawnsasylum. That helps out a lot. At least I know what my read out should be saying when I get an HRM that actually works lol

Yeah I just bought it today and it was $80. I'll prob take it back tomorrow and suck it up and get a chest monitor. Thats one thing I didn't want to do. But whatever gets the job done.

So I bought a HRM and it said 29 calories for the fit test. Technology hates me... theres no way thats acurate.

If you eat in the morning you will be less likely to binge later. Your body is like a car. You wouldn't leave your house on the way to work with 3 miles to empty would you? No, you'd fill up right after you left your house. Even if its just an apple or just a banana. Something is better than nothing. And you do not want…
