Hellobee Boards

@chopsuey119: Yay!!! BTW I had never seen a photo of you before, you are freakin' gorgeous!!

@chopsuey119: haha I know right! It's my favorite app. I'm not super religious about logging in every day and I'm kinda bummed there is no breastfeeding option - obviously I can't eat as few calories as they say - but that's not a huge issue.

Sometimes I'll browse the workouts to see what things burn how many calories. It's fun.

And I love how extensive the food database is, everything I buy from trader joes, costco or anywhere else is in there, even organic stuff. And you can add your own recipes.

yeah I'll shut up now haha I just love it.

@chopsuey119: aww thanks so much! I loved my maternity pics
haha! well 2 lbs a week is a lot. I would say you probably shouldn't ever eat less than 1500 calories as a rule of thumb. I'm surprised it even suggests it that low.

@enjollah: this makes it so easy. I could never keep up with food journals, but this makes it fun! and you're right, it makes you want to log in healthy food
and yeah... I'm being a little lenient with myself on the calories because of breastfeeding. I know I need to eat more than what it tells me. So for now I eat when I feel hungry, but make sure it's something healthy, like veggie, fruit, crackers + cheese, etc.

@cupcakemama: I'm not sure.. I have it on my iPod and don't have an android so I wouldn't know.

@cupcakemama: yeah I'm pretty pathetic in that area too. I modify every workout in each class I take at the YMCA. I tell myself it's cause I just had a baby, but I know that I wouldn't have been able to do it before that anyway!

@cupcakemama: are you a member at a gym?

@cupcakemama: I am envious of runners. I have a hard time running, I am trying to do the C25K program and couldn't even finish the first workout lol

@cupcakemama: yeah that's the way C25K works, pretty slow. The first workout is a brisk 5 min warm up walk, then alternating running/walking every 90 seconds for 20 minutes, then 5 minutes cool-down walk. But I only made it 15 minutes my first work out blah. But it was a full mile.
and yes, I run outside

@enjollah: today I was actually under, but the goal they set for me is 2,000 calories, and I had about 1700 today.
I actually hardly ever go over. I try to eat a mostly "whole foods" diet, so even if I eat a lot of veggies, it's very low-cal. That's my secret haha.

I'm really not sure what I should be aiming for while breastfeeding though... do you?

@NYCaliMama: yay! We can motivate each other, I'm trying the C25K as well but haven't run since last Wednesday (but I've been to the gym three times). I signed for for a 5k in July as motivation- it's been on my "bucketlist" too!
