Where? I can never find affordable boots to fit over my calves! :'(

What "muscle weighs more than fat" means is that if you compare the same amount of space taken up by fat and by muscle, the space taken up by muscle weighs more. Alternatively, if you compare 1 pound of fat with 1 pound of muscle, the muscle is much smaller. Because, like you said, muscle is more dense.

Just wanted to chime in here and mention if you are going to row, make sure you are doing it correctly. Outside of my rowing team in college, I have never seen anyone do it correctly. It drives me nuts and it's so strange because the incorrect way looks so inconvenient and annoying, I don't know how people keep it up. It's…

Can you, or someone else, please explain this? I realize this was like 4.5 years ago, but this thread is back and I'm finding it really interesting, but I'm really confused by this part. I know you can't be saying that exercising is not a good way to lose weight/burn fat (because in a later comment you said "All workouts…

I always keep sugar-free gum everywhere - home, work, car, purse. The action of chewing can trick your brain into thinking you're eating, and you can't eat food when you have gum in your mouth. (Well, you can but it's tricky!)

I've lost about 10 pounds now which is the point where I typically lose momentum and start gaining again, which is NOT going to happen this time, so I know I need to kick it into high gear. I got super inspired yesterday reading other people's NSV's (non-scale victories) on MFP, so finally got up the courage to start C25K…

I have a huge sweet tooth too, so I have to work at least one or two sweet things into my calories every day, otherwise I think I'd go nuts and eventually overindulge. I don't really like to cook or bake, and plus if I did then I would have way too much and eat it all, so these are some of my favorite store-bought,…

This too! (Almost) always works for me.

I am a snacker too, so I always make sure I have plenty of pickles in the fridge. They're 0 calories (for the dill kind at least) so I can eat as many as I want, and they're crunchy and salty so they really satisfy my cravings. Another good 0 calorie crunchy snack is celery- you just have to stop yourself from smothering…

Forgot to mention, I also do a very similar rewards system to what cizzim described. I set myself small goals each month, and one of my goals for January was not to eat any fast food at all, and I would give myself three "stars" if I did it. It was really, really hard (much harder than I expected, which was kinda…

You don't have to be a jerk about it. This site is supposed to be a place where people can come for support, encouragement, and advice, because losing weight/getting healthy is really hard for many people. We should be building each other up and not mocking people. If you have never personally experienced the struggle of…
