As someone who has had surgery recently, less than 3 weeks ago, but who lifted 5 days out of the week, I can say not lifting is hard. It really is. But the muscle loss isn't as bad as I thought it might be. Of course that doesn't mean I'm not counting down the days until I can start throwing the weights around again. =)…

I tried a lot of different things but basically I learned to control my portions and keep under my calorie goals and that a combination of a little strength training along with a focus on cardio is what works for me.

Always looking for more friends! Feel free to add me!

I can always use more friends here!

Anyone who wants can go ahead and add me.

You can add me if you want 190 down.

Thank you both.

This. Don't count standing as a calorie burn and then whine the next second about not losing. Which is what this individual did.

Well there was no fist fighting so I guess my cardio was lagging today. I'll have to try harder tomorrow to find a brawl. Lol

If I get in a fistfight doing my Christmas shopping tomorrow... I'm logging it as cardio.

Don't forget to log the calories we burned laughing at this.

When I grocery shop I push two full carts lol,but I'm still going to not log it anymore. As for the woman logging calories burned while standing, I'll just take this into consideration when she whines about not losing weight.

That's what I was thinking, see I log "grocery shopping" because pushing two full, heavy carts around the store seems like a lot of work, but that got me thinking. So I don't think I will from now on.

Thank you all, I was just curious if this was something I should be doing even if it seemed ridiculous to me lol.

Always!

I've had it done. From 429 to 263 currently. It was a life saver.

I made tofu nuggets and they were a hit! 1 inch cubes rolled in breadcrumbs and then fried or baked. Even the kids liked them. They said they had the consistency of mozza sticks!

It's delicious.

You're so welcome!

Hey there! Requested you as a friend. I've lost a bunch already and gave about a 100 to go. You got this. Anyone who wants an active friend can feel free to request me.

It's super good lol Never eaten there. Not sure we have one in Edmonton.

This has been a super entertaining, not to mention educational read.

Thank you all.

Most of you have been super helpful, thank you!

I have MS so I decided that I am going to stick with one workout a day until I see how much my disease flares. Plus, the slow and steady just does seem more sustainable. Thank you all so much for the input.

Thank you all for the answers.

I do basic 30 minute cardio workout on the treadmill. It's a Fat Burner program and it is a good burn for me. I understand about burning out, I guess I'm just anxious to jump start my weight loss again.

I'm so glad I asked. This is fantastic.

Thank you both so much! It seemed counter productive to me.
