You are getting some really good advice here but I want to add that sleeping is the best way to lose weight. I'm serious. Go to bed early instead of snacking in front of the TV and if you have the luxury, sleep in past breakfast. I do better on weekends with my calories and exercise with plenty of sleep and a stomach that…

Just checking if my ticker is working!

I am in...first timer...I did 143 miles last month so I'm trying for about 150. Combo of running, swimming and biking! Will check back in with ticker...need to figure out how to do that! :ohwell:

Where do you find the nutritional info for the soups and hot bar foods? I have trouble tracking on MFP because I can't find the foods I'm eating! Yes, I love Whole Foods, but they are expensive. I don't shop there, just go for lunch or random items once in a while.

I have several bikes but my road bike is an ION by Gary Fisher and it is the sweetest road bike I've ever owned! It's fast, light but sturdy feeling even with the carbon fiber. It has Shimano Flight Deck 105 shifters...smooth as a baby's butt!! :) I take this bike on weekend rides and to work with me to ride on my…

Welcome!

Swimming will work for sure! I can burn 600-700 calories in the water during an hour swim. I agree with the person that said you need to increase your intensity. Try 25 yard (or meter) sprints or--50 M sprints if you are on long course. also, don't disregard yoga...ask your doctor first, but you can work core and proper…

I notice that I always end up going over on my sugar according to MFP, but I agree with what I'm seeing here. It's not OK to eat a bunch of candy everyday, chose the sugar wisely. Fruit will put you over, just like candy, but you know its better for you and your body. Even something seemingly harmless as Vitamin Water will…

Say What?! I've taken some kick-*kitten* yoga classes and some types of yoga get you totally ripped! It depends what you want it for. If you want gentle yoga to stretch and revitalize sore muscles, it can do that. If you want the go,go,go class where you sweat a few buckets of sweat, it can do that too. As an Anusara yoga…

Side note: Yoga will do the same thing for you...work yourself up to arm balances and poses where you work your legs straight and you'll get a great yoga butt! Check this out for more tips: http://april-laliberte.suite101.com/advanced-yoga-poses-part-1-arm-balances-a272987 Good luck!

I know someone that uses the program and she's in really good shape. You don't need to buy it, just look it up online and do those same exercises. They are similar to the ones you see in the boot camp programs at the gym. It's about muscle isolation, I've heard this is how J.Lo and others get their legs in such great shape.

I am there myself send me a friend request and we can spur each other on! My problem is eating too much when I don't work out. I'm fine when I do, it supresses my hunger or something. It takes about 2 weeks to set up a new pattern and several months to break one, start by setting up a fitness routine....walk at lunch, then…

Thanks all, very good suggestions!!

Wow, whom ever put this post out there, it is genious. I had no idea so many men would dig number 4...however she is beautiful, just not in shape in my opinion. And to think I'm so hard on myself! Thanks for the post and thanks to the men that responded.

Sorry: I am referring to====i would get offended, and then take my shirt off

Now that is funny! :)

Sorry i forgot to say...things like rice or pasta when adding to crock pots...wait til the last hour or two unless you want them to turn to mush! Same with soft veggies like mushrooms and tomatoes.

I love my crock pot. I throw everything in there and by the end of the day it's done! Trick to crock pot cooking is timing. Put in some ground turkey and form it into a loaf. Add in some frozen broccoli and some cut up red potatoes. Onions are good too! add a little water and cook. The potatoes should be sort of in the…
