Body Fat
After a LOT of trial and error, I feel like I'm putting the pieces together. My question is sort of along the lines of, "how much fat % can I reasonable expect to lose over x amount of time?" I'm 32% It took me 6+ months to lose 5% but I was making a lot of mistakes along the way. Assuming I have my act together.... Is it…

New Life-Style
So, you can ignore my weight loss tracker and my fitness pal efforts. I tried to do it right, I tried to do it wrong. I tried to do it sideways. In the end I am working out a lot and couldn't care less about calories anymore. Sometimes I eat really well. Sometimes I eat like crap. I always workout. The scale has been…

Running and Insanity
I have been running everyday. 2-2.5 miles right now...more in the future. I am starting Insanity on Monday. Would like some friends that are doing similar activities. Age, weight, height, doesn't matter. :)

Question for runners
I was never able to run so I always started then stopped, but a miracle happened one day...I ran and enjoyed it. Now I do it everyday and have a question. When do you increase your milage? I always run the same route and it is manageable somedays, others I have to walk for a minute, other days it is fairly easy. Should I…

"born-again"
I have been on here for awhile. I stopped using it for several months. In that time I did many things and thought a lot about my success and failure. I was quite stubborn before and I see that now. I wasn't willing to give up certain things or to stick to doing other things. I had to get to a point I wasn't at before to…

Run + Insanity
Hey everyone...I've been running a little over two miles each morning. I plan to slowly (very slowly) increase my distance. In the evening I do random workout videos like 6-week six pack, yoga, random strength videos, etc. I have been feeling like I need more structure for the evening and also want to do something that has…

Woke up Fat
haha. Just something I have thought about over the last couple years. I gained the weight pretty quickly so there were times that something was said or something happened...and I had that shocked feeling. "I'm fat?!" Just when I thought I was finally getting use to it and past all the shock of being the fat girl, I am…

Nature vs Nurture
Just a few thoughts on my mind. I was always the eat anything do whatever skinny girl. I had to get better eating habbits when I had children, because I wanted them to be healthy. Still...at a certain point I started gaining weight. Whether I ate junk all week or once a week I paid the price. My mother was the same way and…

Up late
Almost every night my husband stays up late drinking and playing games online. Then once every few weeks I stay up and he floods me with guilt trips. Tonight he made me feel guilty for being on here and watching a show instead of coming to bed early with him. It is bs. I can go to bed without him, but if he goes to bed…

Raw Vegan
I love what they preach. I have read a lot about it. I have watched the youtube videos. I don't know that I could ever be fully raw, but I would like to be mostly. Is anyone here a raw vegan? I am concerned about the cost and the effort. We are talking a LOT of food here right? How much does it cost you? How often do you…

Late Night
I am working really hard this month to ATTACK the little things that have been holding me back. I started the "down with desserts and liquor" and that is going to make a huge difference for me. All of the years of drinking in the evening trained my body to expect snacking in the evening. I haven't done it for several days,…

Sick
Yesterday was my rest day. I had so many great things planned for today then I started to feel kind of icky last night. Woke up this morning feeling like crap. I have spent the day in bed trying to rest away the illness. Drinking lots of water and tea. Took my vitamins etc. blah blah blah Want to work out so badly, but I…

Lose!
I'm sorry. I just have to get this off my chest. It is lose! Not loose. You lose weight and then your pants are loose. I see "loose" on here at least 50 times a day. Yes I know I spend too much time on here. lol Ok I feel better.

Down with Dessert and Liquor!
Hey everyone. I have decided to give up desserts of all kinds and alcohol of all kinds until I get to my goal weight. At which point I will allow myself to use in moderation if still desired. I am looking for other people with the same goal so we can "do this together". Note: Please don't comment about how I don't need to…

Still Struggling
I keep posting on here I know... I feel like I have been eating more junk food in the past month than I was for several months prior to that. The calories have stayed in pretty decent check. I work out almost every day. I still turn to too much alcohol, but not like I use to for sure. Still not getting the results I should…

Muscle gain
Just thinking.... If a person needs to be losing weight, but continues to eat like they are maintaining the weight.....yet they lift a lot and start building muscle. Wouldn't they start losing because the muscle is burning more calories then the fat? Just curious. Some days I feel like I have eaten too much, but I am…

Clothing Size
I see a lot of people that want to be size "___" when they reach their goal. I realized I have no idea what size I would want to be. It doesn't really matter because I am aiming for a fat % and perhaps a number on the scale...but I am curious what size I would end up as if I met those numbers. I am 5'1" Before my first…

Weight Flux
I am going to be doing the weigh myself once a week thing. I weighed in on Friday and decided to get on the scale today for some unknown reason....well mostly because I was off the wagon this weekend with pizza, cupcakes and liquor. :( So I told myself I would start making weekly weight loss goals instead of my overall…

Feel like I can't do it
All of the years of being skinny, but not in shape...The difference between now and then... I used to have a pretty busy job so I was moving all day. I never worked out. I ate whatever whenever. Now..the only time I move is when I workout. I workout a lot, but certainly not the 8-12 hours of moving I use to get from work.…

Work in progress
This whole being overweight but doing something about it reminds me of the early stages of pregnancy....let me explain lol For those of you that have been pregnant. Remember that awkward time in the first few month where you sort of gained a little weight and your belly was a little bigger, but unless you said "hey I am…

Randomness
It is a bit chilly and rainy today. I jogged 2 miles with a goal of 6 so I will have to hit the mill again later today. It is super quiet in my house and every ounce of me wants to take a hot bath, eat something ridiculously chocolatey and curl up in bed with a book. That is a lot of ounces to fight.

Net
This is probably posted somewhere and it has probably been asked, but please bear with me. :) Should I be concerned about the net calories at the top of my page? If so, what should I be looking for? I know it seems simple, but I have had so many numbers come my way the last few days that I am not sure what is what anymore.

ARGGGG
I am at my wits end. Story: 3 months ago I was done with being over weight and out of shape. I quit my job that was harboring stress and hired a personal trainer. I work out with her for an hour a day 3 days a week. After the first month of training I decided I wanted to get into triathlons. So I started using my off days…

Finally Joined
I have been avoiding signing up forever because I have tried calorie counting programs in the past and failed. So I finally did it and logged my first meal. Very happy. Most sites don't have the food I eat so I end up searching nutrient facts all over the internet just to make a log. This site had everything I entered.…
