OP - I can relate completely and I think a lot of other women do too.

I don't have all the answers because I still struggle w/ this. However, for me, a change of mindset has helped. This is my...

Sarah - good luck! You will and can succeed. It is a long process...and sometimes painful. It gets frustrating because you work and work and the payoff is a slow process. But, slow is what you want...

I just started the routine, but I feel like I am short changing myself because my workouts seems so short compared to what I used to do in the gym.

Don't get me wrong, I am sore afterwards and...

I have a great support group of family and friends and I think I "embrace teh foodz" too much. I workout hard and enjoy a healthy, meaningful diet about 80% of the time. The other 20% of the time I...

From what I understand...a calorie is a calorie regardless if it came from chicken breast or a snickers bar. In order to lose weight you need to create a calorie deficit. Many people stress clean...

I'm always "that person" who brings the veggie platter to work functions. People make fun of me, but come on...a few vegetables won't kill anyone.

Thank you! I hated tracking calories at first, but now I kind of enjoy it. It was a real eye-opener to see how much damage a cheat meal on the weekends or a night out w/ the ladies really did. I...

Haha!!! My husband makes fun of me on my cheat meals too! I had a McFlurry from McDonald's and was like "how's that going to look on your fitday?" haha....

This might be a dumb question but I love yours and Kimm's advice. Is there a difference between the calories you burned and the calories you didn't eat? i.e. If I burned 500 calories running or if...

Same problem. I make sure I only buy pants w/ a little spandex/lycra in them. That way you can guy a smaller size for the waist and give the thighs some room to stretch.

For normal, day-to-day macros I usually end up at 33/33/33 (I don't try - that is always what I end up as). On long run days I end up more at 25p/30f/45c. For race days (and pre-post race days) I...

I just wanted to post a quick "Thank You!" to all the ladies who have helped me out on here. I appreciate all the tips, advice, patience and help. I have asked a ton of questions and you guys have...

When I am feeling really munchy (not real hunger) I try to occupy my hands...i.e. paint my nails, read a book (it is kind of hard to eat and hold a book at the same time), brush your teeth, chew some...

I enjoy cardio. I love to run (and I play sports so I need to keep the cardio up for training). Am I HURTING myself by doing cardio? I am in off season right now so I have switched my focus to...

I felt wierd having shorter work-outs too... this has been my first week on the same workout. We'll see... :-)

Sounds like you are on the right path. It took me awhile of trial and error, but now the eating seems pretty easy to me (the only hard part is saying no to sweets!). I basically make sure I have...

Agreed

I'm not in it to argue. I am on the board for support and learn...not to bicker over semantics. You can clearly understand the point I am trying to portray.

The op seemed worried about gaining...

I am not sure which part you are confused about. I am not talking about losing a lb of fat from one place and gaining in another. I am talking about overall body compisition.

I pulled this from...

That's good advice. One thing I am learned is that I am not "on a diet" and I won't "start Monday." It is a lifestyle change...and a long, slow, hard process... but WORTH IT. If you decide to have...
