How to calculate walking with weights?
Does anyone know of a fairly accurate way to calculate walking while carrying a certain amount of weight? I wear 17 pounds extra (7 in ankle weights and 15 in a vest). HIGHLY recommend it by the way, but i've eased into that much over the last year to adjust my body to it. I know there's a "carrying 15 pounds load or…

Satisfy your cravings by making food for others
So I have a HUGE sweet tooth. If I could start every meal with my dessert I totally would! Maybe that's why I'm mediocre at cooking and good at baking lol. However, when you're on a diet having baked goods around the house can be lethal to your way of life. I found that I would be constantly drooling over recipies I saw,…

Sneaky and easy exercises!
So you do your required exercises for the week that you record, but what else do you do extra? What keeps you moving that maybe you wouldn't have done before? Here are some of my examples: 1. Not always parking in the closest spot 2. Commerical time is chore time, doing a little cleaning 3. No more elevators 4. Standing…

Health foods you try to tell yourself are yummy? But aren't.
You're doing it, you're on a diet! Woo! But now you have to substitute those delicious high calorie foods for subsitutes. And sometimes those alternative foods don't do the trick, no matter how much you're forcing yourself to think "YUM this is so much better than ___" when you really know it's not ANYwhere close. My…

Feeling Colder?
Ever since I've lost weight I'm extremely cold ALL the time, even in the summer I was constantly wearing a sweatshirt. Just had a check up, so I know I'm not in poor health or my heart isn't freezing over lol. Now that autumn is almost here I'm miserable! I'm almost wishing I had some of that built in fat protection still!…

Do you keep old pics of yourself in view for motivation?
I found that I had deleted (or had them meet a firey death) all of the old pics of me in my heavier weight, but now I wish maybe I had kept them around. That way I could look at one everyday and say, "Yup! That's what I'm working to avoid!" Do you keep motivational pics around? Of you at a bigger or smaller size? Or maybe…

Do you get mad or happy when people get your weight wrong?
Last night I was walking to the shower in my bathtowel and my dad said, "Hey skinny!". Of course I'm praising myself in my head, "woo!" Then he asked, "What are you now, 140?" Stopped me in my tracks, that's almost 40 pounds iighter than what I am now. I corrected him and he just didn't believe me. Bugged me the rest of…

Got whistled at! What picks you up for why you're here?
Went to dinner last night, and there was a group of teens girls and guys there. The guys whistled as I walked in, was just one of those good feelings (I don't care if they're immature)! :blushing: Makes you remember why you're on this journey, to not only feel good about yourself, but have others notice as well! Anyone…

Do you record tastes of food?
I've found myself taking a regular spoon full of ice cream or a handful of a light snack almost everyday and never record it. Or you're walking into a store and they're giving away a free sample? Do you think to record it (somehow)? Does anyone else do this? Do you find it helps in not having to over indulge enough to have…
