How can I set up this page to show the most recent post first?

Thanks for the nice welcome! Weighed in today...lost 1.6lbs! I'll take it! :-) Hope everyone has an awesome weekend. TGIF!

Sorry! Would help if I signed my name....Patti :-)

Good Morning! Just stopping by. I am on Jenny Craig but use MFP to track. I also have WW and follow Danica's Daily. LOL What can I say, sometimes you gotta try multiple routes! Anyway, I decided to check out Community and saw the title Serial Starters and LOVED IT!! That is sooooooo on point for me!! My short…

Wow....such support here

Adding....was really hoping for some positive feedback

Hmmm...I guess I should have left out the "questionaire" part as that is not the only thing that got me interested in this. And maybe should have mentioned I will be testing my saliva, not urine...althought not sure that would make a difference to those who have responded so far. Question...do you have an opinion on PH…

Thanks Cheryl!! I actually was only going on a free pass, and then when I was ready to join the lady there that day asked if I could wait until the owner was there to do the paperwork. lol Anyway, I'm on the fence because I also wanted to do weight lifting because I heard you get really fast results but not sure if I can…

Hey there, you are not alone! Good luck to both of us! LOL

I think it's an awesome idea. My first personal trainer (which I had for 4-5 years) was still in school when I hired him. And he had lost 80 lbs himself, so he understood what a struggle it is to lose weight. He achieved his ultimate goal of owning his own gymn just last year. Even if you never use the certification with…

OMG. For those who eat whatever they want and are losing weight (assuming by counting calories and exercising) that's great. If your only goal is to lose lbs then that's awesome. But for those who also want to be healthier and eat more nutritious food, then I think cutting out sweets/colas/junk food is the right choice. I…

I spend a few hours on Sat or Sun and big batch cook so I can freeze individual portions. Chicken breasts/tenders, steaks, lean burgers, baked tilapia/salmon, ground turkey chili, meatloaf, etc will all freeze well. Then I just grab and go for lunch. Take canned/fresh/frz veggies to go with it and microwave at lunch. :)

Hi! I just started high protein diet so here is what I've been doing. -boil 6-8 eggs, take 1-2 to work for BF Or snack - Starkist Tuna Sensation pouches for snack ( ranch, lemon pepper, etc) - Low fat cottage cheese as topper on baked potatoe ( trust me it's good!) - Double serving size on meats, and have several kinds…

Awesome! Can't wait till I make my goal. Like others said....start a new goal. Always gotta have a goal. :-)

Thanks TROberts! I think you are right on the carbs. Already had major energy issue on Wed...felt like I got hit with a ton of bricks. Had to stop workout 3/4 the way through. Went back to work, but wished I could have just gone to sleep. lol Decided to not workout on Thurs to give myself a brake. Feeling better today, so…

I only count plain water, no mixes

Here is the beginner lifting program I was going to try, but don't know how much weight yet. Assuming I will start out low so I can be sure to get the correct form down first. http://www.muscleandfitness.com/workouts/workout-routines/complete-mf-beginners-training-guide-0

I feel your pain!! I had WLS and lost 160 lbs. Kept it off for about 8 years, but the last 4 years I have been up and down 45 lbs. And when I'm up, all the weight is in my legs, especially my thighs. So while my waist is small, my legs are huge and nothing fits. Always have to wear a belt. Ugh!! And even my calves/knees…

Woohoo! thanks! One more question... I love doing "Curves" circuit training (don't laugh! LOL), but need to know if I should do lifting on same days as Curves. I know I need to rest some days from lifting, so trying to figure out when I can do different things.

I think I have the same issue. I started using my fitbit, and I could see that the steps were sinking with MFP, but I'm not getting any additional food calories. You would think with 7000 steps I would get at least a few extra calories.

I typed in "bodypump" under exercise and came up with this one.... Les Mills BODYPUMP™

I'm also facing the coffee issue....to drink it, or not to drink it??? Looking at several "clean eating" style diets, I was surprised to find some say coffee is ok/good, while others say NO to coffee. One said coffee caused inflamation, and didn't want you to even have decaf. But what can I say....love my coffee. I gave up…

I'm right there with ya! Good luck to both of us! :-)

I decided to focus on building muscle rather than watching the scale.....so for my diet I have to focus on getting enough protein. I was amazed at how hard it is to increase it to where I need it! But I love having something new to focus on, and the perk is that with eating all the protein I don't really want all the carbs…
