my knee seriously hurts!
I was walking up the steps to the cardio room and started to feel a sharp pain in my knee. So I took it easy and just did the bike at a slower pace and felt no pain. Now I can't bring my heal within a foot of my butt without my knee hurting! (I usually can bring it all the way without being sore at all). Any suggestions?…

Stronger Better Faster....Jan 13
GOOD MORNING!!! All yesterday I felt horrible and then my husband got home and told me they had to go to PT at 7pm since they were all struggling with their PT test (duh...when they constantly cancel PT because of the weather what do you expect?) So I decided to get dressed and go with him. I spent 20 min on the bike (4.5…

burning 44 calories?
I am dead set on not going over by 1 calorie (since I'm known to binge and give up) I went over by 44 calories after dinner (we ate after we worked out) because I had to choose something different and didn't know the calorie count :grumble: What's a simple exercise you can do at home that is a good calorie burner and easy…

Stronger Better Faster....Jan 12
Morning (yeah...not really a good one!) I'm up at 6 simply because I can no longer breath laying down since I'm sick and I'm having pain (I think it's ovarian cyst that is showing up again) I'm glad I logged in extra miles yesterday because it looks like I'm taking today off. I don't think calories are going to be a big…
-
oops!
I was hungry and light headed on my way home so I stopped at Taco Bell and got a crunch wrap :embarassed: Now I have 10 calories left for the day and it's only 3pm! I'm usually good with sticking with it during the day (it's late at night I struggle) but with that T.O.M. I can't help my cravings!!! :sad: I think I'm just…

So where are you from?
I'm originally from Jacksonville, FL...but the Army moved us to the middle of Kansas!

Energy?
For the last couple of days I've felt down and out! I've been drinking water non-stop, eating "right" (even though some days I've gone over my calories it's been "healthy" food and not chips, candy etc) I've tried to exercise but last night I could only do 15 mins and I was completely wiped out! I've been getting a good…

My exercise today...
Sneezing!!! 1 sneeze = 1 sit-up At that rate I'm doing about 2 per min - by tonight I should have a six pack! I'm sick of being sick! :cry:

HRM for under $50?
I just can't afford the polar F6 like I want! So I'm looking for something else. I've looked over Ebay and every where and it's just not happening. I've looked at a couple different ones from Nike...but all the reviews have been really bad. I want a simple, watch only one. I don't need the works, just one that tells me how…

Changing Perspective - an overeating challenge
I've decided I can no longer focus about the weight on the scale. That approach worked in the beginning, but it's working now so it's time for a change. I've decided to make a goal of making it 30 days straight without overeating! (Including the exercise calories :happy: ) I keep thinking "I'm doing good" but looking back…

I did something today I gave up on years ago!
I ran at 6mph for 2 mins and completed my mile in 14 mins! I'm thrilled because in 9th grade I had to quit the varsity volleyball team and settle for JV (mostly my choice) because I couldn't run the distance without my knees hurting. Dr. after dr. told me to "take it easy" "stop when you feel pain" and "do only light…
-
light and fast?
I REALLY do not feel like cooking!!! I'm not to worried about calories because I know anything that could possible feel me up is going over board :grumble: So I we're grabbing to-go food to eat! What's your favorite "light" meals for fast food?
-
realistic goal?
Ok. I'm working on the couch to 5k! I just started last night and did a mile in 16 mins. (half walking/half jogging). I am planning on running a 5k early May. I want more of a goal than to just "run" it. I'm looking for a good time that would push me to do well...but it's far fetched :laugh: Anyone have any suggestions as…

Seriously?
I weighed-in two days after Christmas at 140.5lbs. I'm now 148!!!!!! :noway: Yes, I wasn't counting calories...BUT I was being very careful not to stuff myself, eating cereal instead of all the bacon and french toast...I felt I was actually doing better than the week before Christmas and that week I only gained .5 pounds!…

Better, Stronger, Faster.......Dec 22
GOOD MORNING!!!!!!!!! I'm enjoying my vacation! I've been watching what I eat...watching all the food go into my mouth! :grumble: But it's ok...I've been working out and my whole goal was to maintain. I only stepped on the scale the first morning I was here (it was about 143) and figured my moms scale was close enough to…

I did it when everyone told me it was pointless!
I have shared the fact that I'm trying to lose weight with people. Most of the comments I have gotten is that it's pointless to try to during the holidays. Well, I did it! I made my Christmas goal of 139.3 pounds! So to all those that say it's pointless to try and are waiting til Jan...what is the point in waiting another…

I found a new motivation today!
My old boss who I hadn't seen in over a year was very overweight. Well I went to my old work (a vet) since my dog got sick on our trip here. She told me hey and I just said "hi" and kept walking. Then she yelled at me "Don't you dare walk away from me." I recognized the voice and turned around still dumb founded because I…

S.B.F Challenge........December 17
Good Morning!!! Today is my last day to get ready for my trip to Florida...so I'm more focused on that, than exercising. I think I truly gained a pound last week since it should have come off by now if it was just water weight from TOM. All it well though. Originally my goal was 135 pounds by now...but I did slack more…

any one else snowed in?
Well technically I could leave...but a Florida girl in a Kansas winter is just not having it!

overweight family trying to force feed me!
Ok...I only have about 6-7 more pounds til I hit my goal weight. I'm JUST in the "healthy" range now but I want to be to closer to the middle of the range. My family is FREAKING out because my husband told them about my counting calories and exercising so they think I'm "obsessed" with my weight and need help. Well...the…

S.B.F Challenge........December 11
Good morning! Yesterday ended up being a REALLY bad day! I started with a reasonable lunch...then it went to enough trail mix to physically make me sick, then I figured I would get off the couch and do some walking at Walmart while my husband got a tire fixed....we ended up at Subway and I had a half of meatball sub too…

S.B.F Challenge........December 9
Good Morning! Yesterday I ran into an old friend that I haven't seen for about 6 months...she noticed I cut my hair (I took off 7 inches) but then she said "Something else is different...YOU'VE LOST WEIGHT!!" :heart: She is the first person that didn't know I was working on losing weight that noticed and this morning I…

S.B.F Challenge........December 8
Good morning! I made it out of bed at 5:30am this morning hoping the if I start downing the water I'll be hydrated enough by 7:30am to go workout! So until then I get to work on homework! I'm also hoping today I can go look for some new running shoes! Hope you all have a good day!
-
I think I jumped the gun?
I was looking on Dailymile.com for local races. There is one in May at our local zoo! It's a 5K so I signed up :noway: I haven't run a mile in YEARS! But I'm starting the couch to 5k today...so I'm thinking this run will be a good motivator!

Running shoes?
I don't have a lot of money so I'm looking for shoes at a max of $100. Suggestions? Favorites?

What was it for you?
What was that final straw that made you change? For me it was budgeting money like crazy to be able to go home for Christmas! We have lived off of BARE minimal and have saved over 25% of our paychecks to go home for Christmas when we had been living paycheck to paycheck and just making it! I figured if I could get that…

B.S.F Challenge.......December 6
Hey guys! Well, last night I did well...coming in under my calories by 200...yet I had two hamburgers and felt completely sick! (Yeah...for working out at night :laugh: ) Today is going to be a challenge because I'm going out with friends for lunch (no biggie...I already have picked out what I'm going to eat) BUT the mall…

For the first time...
I have gotten dressed up to go out (going to the mall with friends) and I'm HAPPY! I'm wearing a shirt I haven't felt comfortable in for over a year and I feel HOT! I can only imagine how I'm going to feel after another 7 pounds lost!

Haven't felt like this in a while...advice?
I feel like I just got done with a binge! :sick: I've eaten 1800 calories today (have just under 2000 because of exercise). I know that the *old* me would feel nothing but guilt thinking that I seriously over ate! I'm don't feel "guilty" because I know I was suppose to eat those calories...but the "normal" feeling after a…
