Can I ramble at you for a minute? I am weird...

So sorry for the sporadic thoughts and grammar I just use my journal for weight loss/ food/ fitness thoughts. """"""LATER: I had a though about my binge eating lately. I am wondering if I have not been…

Agh beach trip clothes Shopping!
So my Caribbean trip is coming up on the 18th. I had a coupon to a clothes store that was too good to pass up. Today only 50% off. Problem is, I have NO shorts. I have shrunk out of all of my old ones too much to even consider them. I was planning on buying 2 or 3 pairs right before the trip. Well today I was trying them…

Can I be happy about this loss?
So Friday is here at last! My official weigh in day! I have been steadily losing since April of last year. I have not been perfect by any means but the trend is ever downwards. Well darn it if the scale did not freak me out this week! It is reading a 6 pound loss! I have no idea what to make of this number, my last 2…

Fitbit users question
So when I started back in April I got a fitbit ultra. I loved it and used it for about 6 months. I can't remember why I stopped using it but I have been using a HRM to track my cardio workouts for the last 3 months. I love my HRM but I got the urge to drag out the old fitbit again to play with. My question is this, do I…

Rotisserie chicken calorie count
Hey guys just a quick question about the calories in the whole rotisserie chicken I just bought. It is from the walmart deli and the count on the container is 170 calories in 3 oz. I am assuming that this is counting the skin/ fat. Well I always cut up the chicken to save for the week and throw out the skin/ fat. I was…

What workout is next?
I just finished 30DS (got great results) and now I need to start a new strength plan tomorrow. I am waffling between Ripped in 30 and New rules of lifting for women. I know I want to start a heavy lifting program I just don't know when the best time to start is. As in, should I start now, or wait until I am a little closer…

Upping calories?
I have successfully lost over 100 lbs in under a year now eating below my BMR. I am still losing steadily. But from all the literature I am reading, I am wondering if I should be eating more? My body feels fine at what I currently eat (around 1400 calories a day, a couple hundred more on weekends). I have about 55 more…

New to SS
Hey there! I will be starting this program on the 18th of Feb. I am finishing off 30DS first. Just a quick question about weekly workouts: Right now, I am doing 30DS MTWTF as well as about a half an hour of running or elliptical everyday except Sunday. When I start SS, is it still cool to do cardio (moderate, nothing too…

Which Size Slow Cooker
My and my sister and her boyfriend recently moved in together. I heard her mention that she wanted a slow cooker so I am going to get her one for Christmas. I don't have any experience cooking in these but I have been looking up recipes and I am excited to try some. I am confused on which size to get though. We don't…

I want to RUN
Little Thanksgiving morning NSV. I have been too heavy to run since I was 12 years old. I have always been jealous of runners and dreamed of doing it. When I started off 8 months ago, I could not run for 15 seconds. This morning I was on a lovely little walk and decided to try to run as long as I could. I ran for 3…

HRM question
This may be a dumb question but I just got my new polar HRM. I am loving it! Does anyone wear the watch all the time (like just as a daily watch) or just use it when working out?

Becoming a Registered Dietitian
I recently graduated from a 4 year university with a BS in biology and I am now waffling on what to do with my life. Nutrition is so interesting to me and I feel I could really help people with my experiences when I reach my goal. Just wondering if anyone can give me advice who has taken or knows someone who has taken this…

Low protein!?
Just read an article in the Wallstreet journal about a low PROTEIN being the best diet out there. This goes basically against everything I have been learning and reading and doing. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052702304458604577490943279845790.html Am I getting the gist of this article correct?

Bum knee
Ok so about a year ago I had a bad knee sprain. It got better and I just banged it again a couple weeks ago. Still a little stiff but my question is, is it better to do light exercise on it or try to stay off it? I was just thinking maybe a 2 mile walk or something but I don't want to aggravate it if II shouldn't. So, stay…

Warrior Dash Hate?
I had a friend who did a warrior dash and loved it. He recommend it to me and I though it was kind of a neat goal to train for. I went online to do a little research and found myself on a running forum. Most of the marathon runners thought warrior dash is a joke and only for "hobby runners." Basically thought less of…

Living at home
I am planning to move to my own place in about 3 months but I feel like it can't come soon enough. My parents cook the most unhealthy foods all the time. They are on board with my goals and I cook my own personal meals and I basically I told them not to change their lifestyle for me. It sucks having kids in the house too.…
