First, when I found I was "pre-diabetic, had "borderline high blood pressure", and had "slightly high" cholesterol, and realized I was probably only a year or two from having really serious medical problems (I have been heavy all my life, but until I turned 40, all my "stats" were in the healthy range) Second, looking…

You might also want to start tracking measurements instead of (or along with) your weight. Now that you are getting in better shape (and probably working out harder) you are undoubtedly putting on muscle.

You won't "flush the fat", but staying fully hydrated (and most people are running around somewhat dehydrated) can definitely help with losing the fat the old-fashioned way (exercise and watching what you eat) Check out http://www.ergo-log.com/euhydration.html which summerized a study showing you burn fat (vs protein)…

One week, 6 days of working out, and 251.5. Doesn't seem like much weight loss, but the workouts seem a little easier, so I am hoping that muscle is replacing fat. The first 3 days I managed to do both the 30DS lev 1 and the week 1 C25K walk/runs, but since then, I only seem to be able to do one or the other before my legs…

((From CNN.com) What do you know/say about chia seeds? Are they really a "superfood?" Expert answer: There is no actual definition for a 'superfood', this is really just a marketing term, but foods mentioned in this category often contain above average amounts of health promoting nutrients, including vitamins, minerals,…

This is the start of my second winter here in the northwest (we moved to Seattle July 2010 from Virginia, and before that from California), and I can definitely say the weather makes it harder on me to eat well and exercise. Even getting out of the house for something fun like going to the movies seems like too much effort…

I'm in, too. I really need the motivation to work out more often, and I am sick of my treadmill. BTW, Amazon has a good offer on the Shred DVD http://www.amazon.com/Jillian-Michaels-30-Day-Shred/dp/B00127RAJY/ref=atv_avod_discplus?ie=UTF8&m=ATVPDKIKX0DER It's $8.50 for the dvd (with free shipping if you have other things…

Also, I believe MFP's plan is that you eat back your exercise calories, so that your calorie deficit is constant every day, more or less. You can kind of see that in the food tracker. For example, for my ht/wt/age/gender, my BMR is 1929, according to MFP. I have mostly sedentary selected as my lifestyle (remember, this is…

I started about the same time, so I am still working out what I can eat and what I can't. I don't want to go on a radical diet (my history of crashing and burning with those is well documented), but I have learned that certain types of food really increase my cravings and make staying within my calorie budget tough, so…

Welcome - I am also just getting started (for the umpteenth time). Feel free to friend me if you want - I can use any encouragement I can get, and would be glad to help you keep at it too. Good luck - you can do this!

I know what you mean - mine are getting older now (my youngest is 7) but I remember how it felt like any second you could put the baby down you had to use to catch up on housework (or actually squeeze in a shower if you were lucky), and by the time my husband was home, we all ate dinner, and he was getting them in the…

Welcome to MFP :) I just started too, and the great encouragement from people on the board here (plus really using the tools to track everything I eat) has been a big help. Feel free to friend me if you want, and good luck! Rachel
