How about...thanks for the supportive comments mom. How about we both hit the beach in San Diego next summer ... in bikini's? :) Ok ... maybe not bikini's but bathing suits none the less. When we go for my graduation in Phoenix we can hit the hotel pool together too and watch all the men drool over the "Eitner Swing". :)Lynseehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06752254017919024864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4436259672320992437.post-75006706017450549442010-12-02T20:16:13.396-08:002010-12-02T20:16:13.396-08:00okay, just caught up to the last several days of y...okay, just caught up to the last several days of your blog ------ amazing how well you're doing and how well you're hanging in there; you've always been the type of person that once you make your mind up, you go for it full-speed-ahead! Good job. Very interesting to read all the research you've done too, thanks for that info. it helps us ALL. I know you will succeed this time, b/c you are so mindful of this in your everyday/everyminute life and though you don't totally deprive yourself of everything, you are very picky about a "cheat choice". As for "Temptation", he really wants to be supportive and help you be healthier and sexier, BUT -----he loves you and loves to feed you things that have always made you happy -----my "tempter" does this also, so I know very well what's going on. Help him to KNOW that you can feel MORE LOVED in other ways. Keep up the good work, YOU are MY inspiration. YOU will NOT spend your entire life afraid to put on a swimming suite, (like I have).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4436259672320992437.post-54031355546498037802010-12-02T10:10:27.506-08:002010-12-02T10:10:27.506-08:00Yeah I'm with you here Kristen. My brother su...Yeah I'm with you here Kristen. My brother suggests one day every month or so where I eat a few hundred extra and burn a few hundred extra because he says it will "trick" my body's instinctual reaction to what it perceives as famine (this reaction is often called "stalling out" or "plateauing"). I call these "cave man" days so you may see a post now and again where I eat 1,800 calories but burn 500-800 that same day. Supposedly a reduced calorie diet makes the body think I'm in a famine and it stores everything it can in fat cells so caveman days make it think "famine over!" and it re-programs or something along those lines. Since the burn cancels out the excess I suppose it's worth a shot! :)Lynseehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06752254017919024864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4436259672320992437.post-25457599298932312712010-12-02T09:56:32.617-08:002010-12-02T09:56:32.617-08:00I just wanted to point something out.

Online calorie counters add calories burned to calories to be consumed because it is automatically designed to keep you at your desired calorie level. You SHOULD not eat more just because the calorie counter adds your calories burned to your calories to be consumed. You will only neutralize your exercise efforts and lose less by doing so. You already know this I am assuming because you said you were going to stay around 1600 but I just wanted to confirm that what you are doing (keeping calories the same regardless of calories burned) is greatt!! Keep up the good work!The Fat Chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13583918986118438324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4436259672320992437.post-18934336339676462252010-12-02T09:23:51.349-08:002010-12-02T09:23:51.349-08:00Hey thank you, if you're the one who originall...Hey thank you, if you're the one who originally mentioned the 5.3 mile run thingy. Your original comment inspired me to conduct the calorie burn numbers farther rather than taking them at face value and I too learned very valuable information.<br /><br />It is true that fewer pounds to lose means it's harder to burn the calories. I think that's a big factor in why so many people plateau. An hour walk works for them at first but, as they lose weight that hour walk isn't as effective but they don't really realize it so they keep walking an hour a day and wondering why they're not getting progress anymore.<br /><br />One very positive thing to note for people in your situation with just 30-50 lbs to lose is that every day that you do something outside your normal routine, even if it doesn't result in immediate weight loss, is still building muscle. The more muscle you build the more "conditioned" you become so that, eventually, that marathon session on the treadmill gets easier.<br /><br />I had a friend once who was probably a minimum of 50 lbs over weight and, when I was fit, she wanted to join me on a strenuous 9.1 mil hike in Zion National Park. My dad and I both thought she was going to have a hard time at it because of her weight but, in reality, she out-hiked both of us! In spite of her extra weight she had more muscle mass and conditioning than we realized and she both inspired us and put us to shame at the same time.Lynseehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06752254017919024864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4436259672320992437.post-34235834037246145292010-12-02T08:12:30.355-08:002010-12-02T08:12:30.355-08:00Thanks for the lesson on caloric-burn dependency o...Thanks for the lesson on caloric-burn dependency on a person's mass. When you first mentioned it to me, it felt intuitive -- but this article really drove it home to me.<br /><br />It's amazing how many more calories it takes a larger person to do something -- it makes sense, it's just amazing at *how much* of a difference it turns out to be!<br /><br />I guess that's good news, though, because that means that even very large people who can barely walk stand a fighting-chance if they will just get up and walk.<br /><br />It also means, however, that people like me who are only about 30-50lbs overweight but aren't exactly "fit", are going to have a harder time getting trim since we have to do more to achieve success but it's harder since we haven't already been conditioned to be more fit.<br />:(Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4436259672320992437.post-8191522807122717662010-12-02T03:19:18.317-08:002010-12-02T03:19:18.317-08:00Yep, it's all about you!
