a rant - please excuse me!
:explode: I am so sick of... people wanting to lose 15 pounds in 2 week. the ads promoting losing 15 in 2 weeks. Ads for diet pills, patchs, and all the other bogus crap. "Read how I lost 47 pounds in 3 months with No Diet!" - no that is CRAP! You have to eat less in order for your body to lose!!!! ok...I think I'm done!

Home page and calorie goals different
my home page says my calorie goals at 2,070. I changed the goal to 1,800 and its reflected in my diary. This is annoying because it's telling me on my home page I still need to eat almost 300 calories.

Getting back with my ex husband? long
July 23, 2006 I married the man I thought I would live the rest of my life with. He was in the Army and we spent our first year as husband and wife 7,000 miles apart due to war. We had a pretty good marriage (ups and downs with Army life, learning to actually be married, and coming back from a deployment wasn't easy). We…

So you exercise to eat?
Here's my personal rant. And NO it's not about you! But if you feel like it's about you then someone has probably thought it about you ;) If you are tracking EVERYTHING you do (shopping, walking the 4 houses down to visit your neighbor, etc) then you are exercising to eat. You are trying to gain that extra calorie not so…

Looking for people who want to work
I normally wouldn't post this in a group but since this is a local group and its so tough to find jobs I figured I'd let the word out. I work for a fincial group here in Jacksonville. I'm trying to expand my team but I'm having a hard time finding some one who is a people person and motivated. If you or someone you know is…

Women - PMS and cramps
I tried midol and it just isn't cutting it. I'm doing REALLY good on my food but my workouts are just lacking. I feel like I have no energy and my cramps are not helping. What do you take to get you through?

Japanese Steak House calories?
We're going to a Japanese Steak House for my sisters birthday night. I plan on getting the steak (it looks like its about 6-8oz.) Fried rice Veggies and noodles. It a HUGE portion so I'm going to only to eat half but I have NO clue on calorie count. Any suggestions? I'm not good at eye balling measurements on rice and…

The moment when...
you yell "oh crap, I left my protein at his (ex fiance's) house!!!" I was in the kitchen when I realized it and that felt like a blow to the chest (not the loss of him, the loss of the protein lol). I told my mom that I was upset because that was going to get me though at least the end of the month and I'm broke now…

Do you have that next big event?
I finally get to see the love of my life in Oct after 2 years apart! (Very long story). I was 162 pounds the last time I saw him and I'm 148.6 now! I'm hoping to get down to 130-135 by the time I see him again. It's become a huge motivation factor for me and I just looked at the awesome cookies my mom baked and truly…

Blah...
I got nausous during the warm-up today...apparently my body thinks today should be a rest day instead of tomorrow. I'm going to see if I can accomplish it tonight, if not I'll do it tomorrow.

500 calories...what to eat?
I'm not hungry...but I know I need to eat! I don't want "junk food" but nothing really sounds good and we really don't have anything in the house so it means a run to the store. So what do I want?
-
PEOPLE...EAT!!!
It seams like every post I've ready today about someone being dizzy, not feeling good, not losing weight, not having energy, etc is because they are eating less than 1,200 net calories. If your goal is 1,300 calories (which I would die on by the way) and you burn 700 calories through exercise that means you really only at…

62 days left!
Today (plyometric cardio) was good and kicked my butt. I felt great after but now (almost 12 hrs later) my knee is really hurting!

NSV!
I have a weakness with food...especially when the whole family is having something I crave. Tonight I craved on some chineese over a protein shake but managed to stay in my calories (til I lowered them for tomorrow because I'm SLOWLY cutting calories til I get down to 1 pound a week lost). Well, my family was talking about…

Ticked! I lost my pictures!
Well, I lost my pictures...granted it's only been a few days in so it's not THAT big of a deal. Then I realize...I started on the wrong day. I needed to start Sunday, not Monday because 90% of our family activities are on Saturdays and it just makes it tough to workout. Like this Saturday we are spending the day at the…

I WILL DO IT!
I'm just not sure how! I don't have room in my bedroom and my step-dad works from home and the office is right off the livingroom. Since I had an appointment this morning I haven't been able to workout all day since he's working! I thought today was my parents anniversary and they would go out to dinner but they went out…

Ice Baths?
Do they really make that much of a difference? I'm sore and I've tried everything else but I HATE the cold lol. ETA: I swore I was posting in fitness and exercise...oh well :p

I'm here!
I figure I'll share my story. My name is Renae and I'm 25. I had symptoms of bulimia from the time I was 15 till I was about 23. I started with purging, moved to exercise, diet pills, skipping meals...all to make up for the binges. Two years ago I realized that no matter what I did I had gained 30 pounds over 3 years. Its…

Who's staying strong?
Make today count!!! Tomorrow is step-on the scale day :p I'm doing INSANITY (2 if I can manage), focusing on school, and cleaning today too. It's going to be a busy day.

Anyone else not finish?
I got through the second round of the first circuit (after the stretching) and my legs started shaking so bad I almost face planted on the suicide drills. Since I'm not completely suicidal I decided to take it a lot easier...which didn't help at all! Instead I skipped to the last stretching and finished it in 30 mins.…

Help!
I got sick (minor allergies, stuffy nose, felt like crap type stuff) about 2-3 weeks ago. I took a week off of exercise and then threw up during my first workout back. I've been doing half the workout about half the time since I've been back compared to what I did before. Today I couldn't get through Insanity's warm-up…

Net Calories?
Right now to lose 2 pounds I'm eating just over 1,300 calories (what my trainer says I should be eating and what it says I should be eating here too). Most nights I work out and I'm burning around 500 calories. But now it says I need to eat another 500 calories! Do I HAVE to eat that? Should I only eat about half? I'm so…

Losing weight...but not "going" TMI!
I haven't had a BM in 2 days! But my stomach feels like I should be having diarrhea (cramping, tons of gas, etc). But I've also lost over .6 pounds in two days (My ticker doesn't show it because I zero it out every week and yesterday was the end of my "week".) I really don't want to take a stool soften because those mess…

Sleep, Sleep, Sleep, Sleep!
A good night sleep is MORE important that eating right or exercising!!! If you're not sleeping good and you're tired all day your body craves more calories to keep going! Get sleep deprived and you'll be wanting to eat all day! Then you still won't have the energy to exercise! I think some times we get so focused on…
-
curbing hunger?
I've dealt with bulimia so I've always been a binge/starve girl but in the last couple of years I've learned to really control it! There are nights every once in a while (with pizza and wings usually) that I lose control but it's only for one meal. Well, I was put on Zoloft (a low dose) 2 months ago and gained 10 pounds…

I'm back!
I started here almost a year ago at 152 pounds (my highest ever at that point). I got down to 139 by Christmas and the death of a soldier hit close to home throwing me off. I gained a few pounds back but was doing "ok." I finally went to talk to my dr and they put me on Zoloft. In less than 2 months I've gained 10 pounds…

zig-zagging calories?
So after some research I've decided I'm going to try this since last go around I plateaued a lot and was constantly up-ing my calories to break it, the reducing to lose again. So far here are my stats. I'm 5'4 and weigh 152 pounds. My goal weight is 130. Since I'm not to far off (meaning I don't have 50+ pounds to lose)…
-
I'm back!
So six months ago I hit my goal of being in the 130's. Then I gained a couple pounds back and instead of just sticking to it...I gave up. Now I'm back to 152! I never really stopped exerising or being active. In the last two months I have rode over 250 miles on my bike...but I stopped counting calories!

Tell me it's possible...then tell me how you would do it!
Ok....I started this Challange in Jan! It was to do 430 miles by May 7th I did good but I slacked off for two months and now I only have two weeks left (I'm leaving to go out of town on the 1st) :noway: My husband has told me to basically give up only didn't use those words. I have 230 miles left to go. The most I've done…
