Good news/bad news
I have been a member here for years with a lot of success.....several years ago. I lost about 25lbs about 3-4 years ago. The good news is I have maintained. The bad news is I am still uncomfortable.....just in a different way. I never made it to a final goal, really I was far from it but I was satisfied with the results I…

5'8" ladies what is your goal?
Now that I am in the healthy range I am starting to think about what my final destination will be for weight loss and when to start maintenance. I am about 154lbs now and feeling like I would love to see 140 but it may be a stretch. For those of you in maintenance where did you stop and for those still working, what are…

Mostly up hills, lots of up and over obstacles, a ton of thick, sticky mud, some hilarious costumes, good music, great company...oh and some beer too! Weather was…

Challenges for staff?
We have had several walking/step challenges at work over the last few years and they are fun but I am trying to come up with a few fresh ideas. What kind of things do other offices do to promote fitness? We have a staff of a few less than 100, I would love to do something really exciting that most staff would want to get…

NSV- Skinny jeans :)
I stopped at my friends yard sale today where I found 1 single pair of size 8 pants. I have been saying I wanted to get some smaller sizes, as all of the things I have been wearing recently were 10's and I still find myself putting on the 12's... but they are too big. Anyways, the 8's fit like a glove, not sure if I will…

Burn more calories than you eat??
Burn more calories than you eat?? What does that actually mean? Seriously, everything that I read on here talks about eating back your workout cals but these two things seems to be opposite. Never have I had a day where I ate 1200 cals but burned 2400, THAT WOULD BE AWESOME! Truthfully, I can't eat back my exercise cals…

Asian Grilled Chicken Salad
The McDonalds Asian Grilled Chicken salad is pretty darn good :) A blend of crisp greens, grilled chicken breast filet with orange glaze, snow peas, edamame, Mandarin oranges, toasted almonds, and Newman's Low Fat Sesame Ginger Dressing.

Without stopping! Super excited and soooo motivated to do more. Even researching local races to see what is out there. Big bucket…

Getting rid of the scale...
Getting rid of the scale...sort of. I have been tormenting myself lately with the scale, I just kiss a nice number and get all excited to see the 150's and the next day I am back up 2-3 lbs. I decided this morning that I will try to only weigh in on Sunday mornings. The scale is out in the car trunk....the scale and my…

The last few days I have been doing a additional TF HIIT workout .... well tonight I made it ohhhh about to the first jump and whooosh they fell…

Turbo Fire HIIT 15 help
I just did TF HIIT 15, its a killer. My problem is I don't have a HRM so I wonder what burn you all get? If I could find someone who is about my height and weight, that might work?? I am 5'8 and weight 161. I know, I know I have got to get one of those little bugers but they are expensive. :(

Ripped in 30
Starting Jillian Michaels Ripped in 30 tonight, if anybody wants to start challenge with me. A bunch of us did this in January with Shredded in 30 and it was a great motivation and support to check in with each other. (And yes I made it the entire 30 days without missing any days) Who's in? You can do this!!!:wink:

Haven't gone back over to the dark side completly yet but I feel like I am definately being temped... ate a cinnamon roll tonight and justified it by saying I didn't want to deprive myself. lol (but not really funny) I am hoping that new JM workout on…

Jillian Michael 30 day shred question
I am starting on my second round of the 30 day shred but had a thought and was hoping for some input. After cycling through the whole program once now do you think it is better to follow the program 10 days of each level or do you think I might get some added benefit from doing L1, then L2, then L3, then L1....etc... so…

HRM?
So I have been looking at BodyBuggs and dang they are expensive, I know that there are some HRM watches but to be quite honest I dont know anything about either. What I do know is that I would like to know actually how many calories i am burning during my workouts, and I do not want to spend a fortune doing it. Any…

Never gets old
What a day! Today is the first day that coworkers have been saying how much they are noticing my weight loss. IT FEELS SOOOOO GOOD!! I know its only 13lbs since I started a month ago but its such a wonderful feeling to have people come up to me and tell me how good I am looking, I am even starting to feel it to.

Shred ladies who started on Jan. 10th.......
Not sure what happened to the thread, maybe it got to big? Anyways we can use this to keep up the support.

Dinner ideas for families
I am so sick of the same 6-7 things I have been eating for dinner. I would like to share a meal with my family but seems like I have to modify everything drastically from what I am making for them. To be quite honest, "Whats for dinner?" is becoming a dirty word in my house. Any ideas? What are some meals that you all…

Confused about Net Calories
So I have been messing around with my goals and calories burned today. I cannot wrap my head around the Net Calories? So my daily intake should be 1200, I ate 1086, exercised 1000 = Net 86??? I am sure it must be easy but I don't get it. Anyone explain it to me? The other thing that confuses me is on the goal page it says…

Carbs, how many
Wondering how many carbs you all are taking in? I have been so consumed with paying attention to my calories and pts, but just realized I am getting a lot of carbs, although I dont know really what alot actually is. I added a banana 27 carbs, a orange 19, and a apple for 22 this morning, and although I know all of these…

Dominoes ads??
Anyone else annoyed with the Dominoes Pizza ads that are on here every time I log on? :noway: Really? I get that they have to pay the bills some how and that they probably do it for that reason but its like giving a fat kid a cookie and saying now don't eat that :wink: Maybe I should look at it another way, maybe they are…

Eating out. What to have?
We are celebrating my brother in laws bday tonight at a local mexican restaurant. Any suggestions about what to order? I am super concerned about the basket of chips and salsa they bring for starters. They are my biggest weakness, although I have pretty good self control and I know I don't want to undo everything I have…
