Hi all. I am new to mfp, and all this stuff in general. I had gastric bypass the end of jan, and have lost 94/95lbs, depending on the day lol. I have hit my first plateau and have started working out and trying to get my diet better than it was before, using the tracker and the exercise tracker as well. My friend got me on here and I really like it, but I could use some support since my husband is an oblivious lump and is not helpful with support, so... Help!!!
fruit for the day: 1 peach
Veg: carrot sticks
Exercise: cardio and weights

I've been an achey sad lump on my couch.
LOL! I mean.. I'm sorry to hear that.. But this image just made me giggle a little bit. I'm not giggling at the fact that you're sick, because that makes me sad. But the "achey sad lump" just did weird things to my imagination.
ANYWAYS. Good to have ya back and I'm glad to hear that the workout room was a success! You should post pics!!0 -

As some of you know, I've been having "issues" with the boyfriend lately. Well, today I saw my cousin. Him and I have always been really close and we were talking today and he asked me about my bf. I told him we were on a bit of a break and that was why I've been staying with my dad, but that I saw my bf a few times a week. He says to me "If you're apart, and you still can't stand not seeing them and you can't keep apart, that's when you know it'll be okay. It's when you're totally okay with not seeing them that you need to stand back and reevaluate things. You've been with John (my bf) for a long time now, I think you guys will be great."
My cousin is 5 years older than me. He just suffered through a HORRIBLE breakup and is now engaged to another girl. I love this kid
Anyway, that's just me passing on words of wisdom from a 24-year-old
Have a good night all!0 -
The weekend went by far too fast! How was everyone's weekend?0

thats great advise, if you can make up after the fights and not kill them when you really want to, it'll be ok. I will be with my husband cory, 10 yrs this august, married 8 yrs this sept , so it all works out ok.0 -
The weekend went by far too fast! How was everyone's weekend?

So i get to sleep in on the weekends and he gets up with nathaniel, or just turned 5 yr old son, who is hell on wheels and makes me wonder why the hell am i still fat when i am chasing him around all the time lmao.0 -
Hi All,
Trust everyone is well :flowerforyou:
Pls could you help and advise - What is the meaning of hm_day? and also I read about the Turbo Fire 9 weeks program? what is this and can someone also pls give me the correct exact start to a exercise program at the gym? the last time I started out I ended up with Physioteraphy since I apparently "over-did" it from the word go - I however only did 20 minutes of tredmill and after 4 times of going upped it to 30 minutes, I now have to start all over again (completely unfit!) :sad: but I'm SO scared of ending up wasting it again - I'm thinking of going from the 1st of September again - spring day and all (but I'm probably just postphoning it) :ohwell:0 -

hm_day is actually my name. Heather M Day
I have not done Turbo Fire but there are a few people on here who have, so hopefully they will be able to help you. The "correct" start to an exercise program completely depends on you. It's best to do a mix of cardio and strength exercises to build lean muscle as well as burn fat. My word of advice is just to start! Take it slow and don't rush anything, because if you push yourself over your limits too far, you'll end up hurting yourself.0 -
Thanx hm-day I do appreciate and I thought that much but isn't quite sure what a "moderate start" - in time - will comprise of? being totaly unfit and all0

Start off by walking at a steady, maybe even brisk pace. This is usually about a 2.5mph on a treadmill, or faster. I wouldn't start jogging until you can do a brisk walk for 30 minutes. Start lifting light weights, and doing the circuit machines (chest press, bicep curls, chest flys, etc.) at your gym if they have them, which they should. Usually a whole circuit of those machines is considered a full body workout and most start off at a very light weight to ease you into it. Basically, once these things become too easy, push up your weight, and so on. Also, simple things like calisthenics (push ups, sit ups, crunches, etc.) are fantastic.0 -
Thanx again...I'm going to do precisely as advised... sincere appreciation :happy:0
