  • It is not a myth about eating calories back. Everyone who knows anything about fitness and health knows that you need to intake the correct amount of calories for weight loss and that includes adjusting for working out, or as some of you put it "eating back your calories". You just can't go over board and think you burned…
  • How's everyone doing on the challenge? Would love to hear your positive and negative feedback!
  • Hi Everyone! I just sent friend request to all of you, so please accept so we can be a source of support! I noticed many of you don't have many MFP friends. If I may offer some advice... Build a community support. You don't know these people but they are all struggling and on a journey. You'd be surprised how helpful it is…
  • Today is day 4 of the beginner squat challenge. Hope you rested well as the next 3 days will be tough!
  • Never too late!!!

  • Alright team! Looking forward to hearing everyone's success! Remember to post your success! Day 1 starts 3/14. So here are the instructions for the 1st 7-days. Picture above shows how many squats each day! Counterbalance Box Squat: With your feet shoulder width apart, keep your chest up and arms out in front of you as a…
  • I'm in! I'll start Day 1 on 3/12! Day 2 is going to be super hard with NO coffee! Eek! Lol
  • Hello. Happy to add you! I'm looking for positive people who are really trying to work on weight loss. We all have bad days, but no negativity is allowed on my news feed. I have enough trouble fighting my own inner demons and not wanting to deal with others. So you'll get nothing but excitement and positive energy from me.…
  • Great suggestion on soaking. I never knew about that and will try it myself!
  • Awesome work @wrenegade64
  • @Sparkymel You should post your good morning to your wall so everyone can comment!!! I enjoy your energy and enthusiasm!!!
  • Hello!! 42 as well and a single mom of a beautiful 16-yr old. She's been hearing me complaining for years about needing to lose weight and I've done nothing about it. I wasn't at all over weight until she was around 2 and I got a car (didn't have 1 for 3-years). Then the weight piled on. I sat comfortably at a size 14 for…
  • Try volunteering daily. Either at Elementary schools reading to young ones or a nursing home. It sounds like you enjoy a structured routine. So find something to fill your time to help you get active and back on track. Also, you can still watch what you eat while traveling. Make healthier choices and plan for the…
  • How do you know they'd like it? They obviously don't eat it, because it doesn't look appetizing to them. Also, you keep saying they ask you, but get mad... It's very obvious that in your mind comments about eating better is being translated to "please give me advice". STOP GIVING ADVICE! Because they are right, your advice…
  • A lot of advice by well intentioned people. Something like this calls for a visit to your MD! You should talk to your Dr about what's healthy and what's not and what's safe and what's not! Then you will have your answer. If not your Dr, then a certified Athletic Trainer, not a Personal Trainer who could get their…
  • Thank you!
  • What ElizabethOakes2 said is correct. WW isn't really designed for a lifestyle change. Drinking meal supplements, Jenny Craig, NutraSystem, WW none of that is sustainable for life. WW is great to get started. I've done it and was successful, but couldn't sustain. Honestly, who wants to count points the rest of their life.…
  • What about Cardio do you not like? Cardio doesn't have to be running or on a treadmill or stationary bike. There are 100's of ways to get your Cardio in. And it's very possible that it's boring so you dread it. Try making a game out of it. I personally love listening to Salsa music while doing cardio. When I'm on the…
  • NorCal here! Welcome! Online support can be powerful too!
  • Swimming is good for cardio. Doing tons of cardio does nothing for building muscle tone. Your skin, depending on how many years it was stretched and your age may never return to full elasticity. But if you feel it's fat and not excess loose skin, then you need resistance training and weight lifting to begin building that…
