WAHOO - TICKR
I recently bought a Wahoo Tickr heart rate chest strap monitor to help me track the cardio and HIIT workouts I'm doing. MFP links the product in their wearables section (links to buy it) and I can connect my account in the WAHOO app but it won't let me add the app in MFP--has anyone else found a way to do this that doesn't…

BBG - just the workouts
Hey all! Has anyone done just the exercise portion of the Kayla Itsines' BBG? I'm considering doing just the work-out portion, has anyone done this? If so, how did it go/what were your results? I'm eating pretty healthy now and it's working for me, things that are really restrictive don't work as well for me (consistency,…

Let's talk Exercise!
Hey all! What do you do for your exercise (if that's part of your plan)? When I started I was just going to move more in a day, walking on the treadmill or going on the elliptical. I'm really proud to say that while I started doing about 2 miles in 45 minutes on the Elliptical to between 4-5 on higher resistance in the…

Healthy Eats
Hello! Just thought I would share a couple recipes that have helped make low-cal dinners filling and delicious. If you like Salmon you gotta try the Quinoa Salmon Burgers over at skinnytaste. They are great over salad or grilled/steamed veggies. And super filling. I made a full recipe of patties and then froze 4 of them…

I Am A Work In Progress
Slightly over 5'7. HW: 290 + SW: 198 CW: 193 GW1: 160 Yesterday I walked into the Zara that just opened and tried on some clothes. All of the pants I tried on were size 8 or 10. All the size 10s fit. Most of the 8s did as well. I had grabbed a handful of tops as well. This one that I ended up buying is a size medium. I…

Indulgence = Mental Breakthrough
Last night I hung out with some friends (I made dinner: healthy). We put on a movie and painted to a theme (I was terrible but it was awesome) and then we dragged our butts to the theatre at 10pm to watch Pitch Perfect 2 wherein I ate a bag of (small) popcorn, 2 peanut butter cups, and half a mounds bar. And you know what?…

Bringing Lunch: 100% Satisfaction
Lunch today: 310 calories of pure satisfaction. Finally finding my groove in terms of making delicious food that I can't wait to eat. And watching as other people are envious of my lunch. It's been difficult--I love veggies and "healthy" foods but I've always had issues with portions and condiments (and sides...snacks).…

30 Day Squat Challenge: Complete
30 days ago, my best friend and I decided to do a 30 day squat challenge in honor of her 30th birthday and our desire to kick start a healthier lifestyle. We chose the challenge below, in large part because it explained how to do each squat and also was five different types instead of just "do 50 squats". "Now 100!". It…

Thin Line Between 'Obsessive' and 'Focused'
Currently on a 41 day streak (longest I've ever gone on MFP) and feel like I'm doing really well. I'm down 12lbs and have been able to do more at the gym. I'm on day 28 of a 30 day Squat challenge with a friend and am prepping food at home, weighing, and logging correctly. I've noticed in the past few weeks, though, that…

Sports Bra Advice Needed
This one specifically for the woman out there with bigger bust sizes... I currently wear a 38DD bra size and am having a heck of a time finding a sports bra that works and cuts down on bounce (ow) now that I'm doing a lot more cardio. I did 4.5 miles yesterday and my current bras just aren't working anymore. I was using…

Heat Rash and Sweating
Kind of a gross one, I know but I gotta ask. So I have never been a person who sweats a lot. Even when I was living in overseas and the summers were ridiculously hot. I got heat rash a few times when I was way heavier (250lbs plus) but haven't had any issues for years. My problem now. The last two weeks at the gym I have…

30-day Squat Challenge
Has anyone done one of these before? On April 21st a few friends and I decided to do a 30 day squat challenge. We choice this circuit: http://www.popsugar.com/fitness/30-Day-Squat-Challenge-30806625 We're on day 10 right now (95 squats!). I am trying super hard to make sure that my form stays good even though the numbers…

7 lbs down... 30(ish) to go!
Long time dieter, long time quitter here! Trying to do it right this time... Started the first week in April at 198 and am down to 191 (reliably). I got on the scale last week and had hit 190 and then dropped to 189 (yay!!) but got on this week and was back up to 191! So frustrating. I just want to get below that 190 mark…
