On days you do NOT work out, do you go over your calorie limit for the day?
I'm struggling with this. Like today I wasn't planning on working out but I only have 334 calories left for the day. Dinner will have to be very light and then I'll be starving in the evening. If you look at my diary today, I don't think its that bad. I guess I'll at least get a little bit of a workout in just so I can eat…

How do you stick with it?
I'm having trouble staying on course. I WANT to be healthier, I WANT to lose weight, I WANT to feel better. I love how I feel after I work out. I just don't want to work out. I don't want to eat a salad. I need to change my mindset, but I don't know how. How do you stay motivated?

Guys...what kind of flirting do you like?
What can a girl do that will let you know for sure that she is into you? Without it being COMPLETELY obvious to other people. I will be back into the dating scene sometime...sooner or later (starting the divorce process), and I feel like a newbie. I haven't dated since high school. Thanks! Sorry if this is a completely…

Fashion help needed!!
I'm going to a wedding next weekend. I have a black dress to wear. I was going to wear black shoes, as usual, but I feel like I need to mix it up! I love the look of nude/tanish/beige shoes. Can I wear those with a black dress or is black to dark to wear with them? Here is an example of a shoe that I like:…

As of today, I'm down 33 lbs! Seems like it took forever to get that last pound! Only 33 more to go! I can't believe I'm actually doing this! Couldn't have made it this far without you all! :heart:

NSV....a compliment
My boss's boss who works in Philadelphia is at our office today. I only see him every couple of months maybe. So today he says,"Are you working out?". I said yes. He said, "Cause you are like stick thin (as he held up his pinky finger". :happy: I said, well I wouldn't say that, but I've lost 28 lbs. He said, "That's great,…

NSV...mygym pants fall down!
Last night I started running at the gym. Two minutes into it, I had to stop because my pants kept falling down. It was embarrassing! The people beside me were probably wondering WTH my problem was, LOL! This happened last week too with a different pair of pants! Needless to say, I need to buy SMALLER pants! :smile:

Ummm...losing a toenail from running?!?!?
Ok, this grosses me out! Last week I ran on my in-laws treadmill (I usually use the one at the gym). There must have been something weird about it because it was hurting my toe (the one right beside my big toe). Well that nail still hurts and today it looks discolored. I'm wondering if I'm going to lose it! I never lost a…

Who does HIIT on the elliptical? Can you tell me what you d
I would like to try high intensity interval training on the elliptical. I was just looking for some ideas. What do you do? How long is your high intensity interval, how long is your recovery interval, etc. In doing the C25K program, I'm doing intervals on the treadmill already. On days that I don't do the treadmill, I do…

What does your stomach look like??
I wasn't sure where to put this. I know I'm only down 18 lbs and I have a long way to go, but I feel discouraged about my stomach. I feel like it's never going to look normal or go away for that matter. To describe what my stomach looks like....it's like I have an upper stomach (the fat above my belly button), then there's…

Mini success for me :)
Today one of my co-worker whom I haven't see for weeks came in and said, "Look at you skinny"! I was like WHAT??? I said you are the first person that noticed! She said, oh I can definitely tell in your face! She made me so happy! Glad it's starting to be noticed!!! Another small success for me is that I can now wear a…

Going away for the weekend...FREAKING OUT!!!
Ok so this weekend I am going away for the weekend with a friend. The lodge we are going to does not have a gym and I'm not sure what to expect as far as the food there. I am freaking out! When I'm put in situations where there is junk food around me...I have no willpower! What am I going to do? Don't think I'm a dork or…

Too easily frustrated with the scale!
My first week I lost 6 lbs (I know my ticker is wrong). I think my body was in shock that first week or something. Since then, I haven't lost ANYTHING. I'm only at the end of my second week. I would have liked to have lost 2 lbs or so. It's frustrating when you are eating WAY better then you were and you are going to the…

How many days a week do you workout?
Just curious if you give yourself any days of rest? My goal is to work out five days and rest for two. What do you do?

Really? Sledding as exercise?
Since we got some snow last night, we might take the kids sledding tonight. I'm excited that I can put that as exercise!!! I guess i have to be the one that actually goes down the hill and has to walk back up though, huh?? Walking up hill in the snow IS a workout! I guess i was just surprised that it was listed, LOL! Those…

How do you eat brown rice?
I bought some today to try. I'm not sure what to make with it. Do you eat it plain? Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks!

Protein...I went WAY over today!
How did I do that? Is it a big deal? I thought protein was so good for you. Will eating too much make me not lose as much weight? Does anyone know? TIA!
