  • OH YES!! Every time!!!
  • 40?? LMAO Wake up and smell the coffee. Try 54 !! And try having night sweats starting at 40, and still going strong at 55. Just a fact of being female and yes it sucks! I imagine I will sleep again when I am dead!
  • Well usually I do not let it get to that point, I ask for help. I am not embarrassed to do so. The other day I had issues with a 50lb weight to lift it up about chest high back onto the rack, but my arns were just wore out... I asked a guy to help, and he was happy to do so... I learned a long time ago when I was 380lbs…
  • At 20 yrs old I do not believe you will need to worry too much. 60 lbs is a lot, but if you loose it slow and steady like 1.5 to 2 lbs per week on average, it should be just fine. I am a bag of skin, but I have lost over 200 lbs in total, and I am considerably older. The longer one is overweight the harder to have the skin…
  • I've never been below a 38/40 D or DD depending upon the bra, and once I got around 21% BF with the weight training, believe me it all went. I had to get a 36C (slightly padded) the other day. And when I was 23 I had a bust reduction, taking 1.5 lbs off each reducing to a DD. Sooooooooo I am not sure, and I sure wish mine…
  • Yes DITTO. My mother tells me I look Gaunt! I am 5'9" 1/4" and I am around 168-172 depending on water retention. I hit my goal weight of 170 about 8 wks ago, and started eating more cals, gained up to 178 and now seem to be stable within 4 lbs which is normal and perfect. Total loss 112 lbs this go around! And the fact is…
  • I have been on a health journey for 20 mths, hit my goal weight about 8 wks ago and I am in maintenance now. I meet all 7 of them YEA ! My body fat is 22%.
  • I love Hummus with Carrotts, usually about 70 cals for 2 TBSP of Hummus and whatever for the carrotts depending on how many ounces, typically under 150 for me, and I love this. You can use Celery or mini bell peppers too with the Hummus whatever you might like. Obviously using Pita Chips will take that Cals much higher so…
  • Thanks, I will give it a try, and maybe bake them into little patties and see how it goes.
  • I am a bit confused. Do you note form these into Patties and bake them, and then put into your wraps like Falafel's one gets in resaurants? I understand the mixing and such, but do I assume the mixture is then in a loose form, that you put in your wraps. I am trying to find a receipe that I can make the tradiional falafel…
  • For me is there something biggr than a bat that has wings! Mine are horrible, but I am 55 yrs old, and I was obese for many years, and I carried so much fat in my upper arms. I am lifting weights and have been now for 10 mths, but unfortunately I am not seeing any hughe changes yet. But I believe once you hit goal weight,…

  • Yes. I have lost 110 over a 76 wk period, so about 1.3 lbs on average per week, all using MFP to track my exercise and Calories.
  • Chobani even with the fruit added is not too bad as it used fruit juice or cane juice so the sugar is less refined. I love Fage, no fat, but then I always add a bit of Setiva or Honey to it, as I do not like it without a little something to take the sour off, but then I always put fresh fruit in mine along with Chia Seeds…
  • I use the Polar FT7 it was $74 plus tax online at heartratemonitors.com. Those that are strapless are very expensive. I am not sure of any less than $75 that would be worth the $$.
  • Most folks!! I can assure you my metabolizm has slowed down in the last few years! I struggle to maintain my goal weight, my RMR is very low, yet my lean mass is very high 130+ lbs, I am 170 lbs. But it can still be done, time and dedication. I lost 110 lbs but I did it slow and steay and it took 75 wks.
  • I have been working with a PT for 10 months now, and while my muscles are now more defined, no way am I bulkly. Lost a lot of FAT from 40% to 21% !!!
  • 4am M-F @ the gym at 5am, and around 6am at thhe gym by 8am Sat. Sunday is my day off.
  • Heck, gummy bears and frozen pizza, I'd be down someplace for fried shrimp or gumbo!!
  • FTI have FT7 and I purchased it in Aug 2012 and just starting having issues with it in the last few weeks. I wash the strap often so that is not the issue, but at the same time the BACK button is confused and no longer works instead it brings up the Data screen. Often I cannot get the unit to actually stop, and finally a…
  • Yes foggy memory or dead brain whatever you call it. The fact is that for day to day work no major issues, but I have to take a class next week for a certification to whichI was suppose to study about 20 hrs in advance but kept reading the same chapter over and over. I just cannot retain this book crap! I guess if it were…
  • Listen! You just have to get over that and quick! I use to be 380 and I can tell you that you have to develop a thick skin, and beside, I hightly doubt anyone is judging you at all, in most cases everyone is there to just do their own thing and get on with it! Now I work out with a trainer and I started with him at 230 and…
  • All you have to do is type in your web browser: what is one cup in grams or whatever... I do this all of the time it is not big deal.
  • I have had that happen for the last 4 years, before last year but this last year finally I hit the 12 mth mark at the end of Feb 2013. Honestly then about 3 wks later notice a very light pink on my toliet paper one day but I refuse to think that means I start the count over. The hot flashes still come and go but right now…
  • Yes, I buy low sodium cottage cheese which BTW is bland without the salt, so I add Chia Seeds 1tablespoon, or Hemp Hearts 1 tablespoon and a little Stevia, and I love it. Sometimes I but half and half of chia and hemp hearts. Love it, have it every afternoon.
  • Hi I am 5'9"1/4 I am claiming that 1/4 inch! Used to be closer to 5'10" but with age comes shrinkage!! I am large frame, I wear a size 11 shoe (sadly, too bad you cannot shrink the length of your foot). My top weight was 380, I lost 150 via Gastric and maintained that weight for many years until 2011 when I gained 40 for…
  • 1. The 'girls' have suffered big time since starting weight training....what use to be DD is now a C, and since I get those slightly padded ones, could be worse, I refuse to try on a B cup! And to think in 1980 I had a reduction and took 3 lbs total off them suckers!! 2. Loose skin, losing 200lbs needless to say I have a…
  • i used to do 7 days a week, but since working with a personal trainer, he advises me to take at least one day off, so that day is usually Sunday. Your body needs a day of rest.
  • Well I agree with the other poster that the scales can be misleading but then so can the calipers. I have been seeing a personal trainer for 7 mths and we take those measurements with the calipers etc.. and for the last few months nothing much has moved on the BF% reduction maybe 1/2 %. Now we showed at I was 30.4% down…
