No June Weigh In Challenge!
I know a lot of us are a slave to the almighty scale. Frustrated when we don't see a loss or even worse a modest gain. I'm going to challenge myself to eat healthy excercise everyday and not do a weigh in until July 1st. Hopefully some of you can join me and post on this topic to challenge ourselves not to get weak and get…

I guess rice is my enemy..
I love rice especially spanish yellow rice and pork fried rice from the chinese spot but I'm starting to think that I won't be eating any anytime soon.

I've decided to start doing 2 a day workout sessions that will more than likely total 60 minutes of working out and buring 400 calories per 30 minute session (according to the ifit cardio machine using my age and weight) My point is why workout and burn 800 daily calories just to eat them back. I'd rather have a decent…

Yesterday morning I worked out and was happy with my weighin of 244.4 (first time in weeks I broke 245) Then I calculated my calories and made sure to drink 8 glasses of…

Best time to weigh
Hello all! I was wondering what was the best time to weigh? I thought mornings would be ideal but I wasn't sure if after a workout was best? I weighed myself this morning and I weighed 247.2 which was a but of a disappointment since I've been working out pretty consistently. After breakfast and lunch I worked out this…
