I never heard anyone making this type of request, but the other way around (you should lose weight) - all the time...

Hello! Good question. I guess you could enter it under circuit training. I wonder if there's a big difference between general aerobics and circuit training for 30 mins (calories wise). I think it's a great training; I usually do the isolation muscles exercices after the 30 mins general workout of the beginning. I doubt if…

Very well said cnewyou! Very true!

You can also try a recipe with grilled chicken (chunks) and make the sauce with tomato paste, oignons and peanut butter. Try google it, it's West African Peanut Butter Chicken. You have different twist on the recipe, depending on the region of Africa, I personnaly prefer the one from the West, mainly because I had african…

I wonder if it's a question of age, especially for women like you hear all the time that : "after 25 yo, it became harder to lose weight". I'm not 25 yet, but you hear that all the time!!!!

Hi! I think somehow we are all different, and so are our bodies. Maybe you should experiment what works for you. For some, they have to bump their calories intake and eat all of them, others a portion of it and another group they just won't eat any of them. I find it's working better for me when I don't eat all of my…

Bump

I am not a professional on these questions, but after reading and discussing with people who are interested on eating healthy, I don't think sugar in fruits are necessarily bad. It is still sugar, but the body need a bit of sugar, just like good fats to function. I personnally avoid Aspartame and splenda and choice brown…

They have an entire thread when you do a search in MFP. I was reading it yesterday since I borrowed the book of a friend not too long ago. Actually there was mostly good comments on MFP, but to me, it wouldn't be a "way of life" I would be able to keep more than a month. I mostly read throught the Diet part (where you can…

There's always options wherever you go, but you have to ask for modifications sometimes. I don't think it would have the end of the world if you would have ate a burger (if you choose an appropriate option) if you go do a workout and eat healthy for the rest of the week! ;)

I usually listen to songs I like with a bit, mostly pop, hiphop, dance, metal. These days : Lady Gaga - Born this way JLO ft. Pitbull - On the floor Wynter Gordon - Dirty Talk Enrique Iglesias - Tonight I'm F**** you Chris Brown, Inna, some good old Cradle of Filth.

Interesting article. Althought they don't explain what you should do while doing interval training (3 mins cardio-1 1/2 mins weights)... I'm not sure about one of the last paragraphs where she says that it's better to do weights than cardio... Hard to tell.

Normally, people recommend to weigh yourself once a week (approx. same time of the day). For me, it makes me so much discouraged even with all the efforts I put in, so I don't weigh myself often but keep up the good work. I just feel depress everytime i'm on the scale and makes me want to quit!!!

Honestly, to lose weight focus on cardio, and don't forget to do weights. You obvioulsy lose more calories when you are doing cardio but building strong muscles who will later burn more calories is very important. However, I don't really appreciate what your trainer says when he tells you what you should buy. At the end of…

Hello! I had the same type of problems and they found I was reating to a celiac disease test, but not the major one, so i was not declared like a 100% celiac disease case. Just consult your doctor and you might have some answers. I found that sometimes it's mostly the stress that aggravates those symptoms. Good luck!

Agree with BlindFaith, I'm def chocolate addict, (not sugar because if there's no chocolate in the sugary thing, I'm probably not gonna eat it!) and I usually go for 1-2 square of organic dark chocolate (good quality, not crap) with at least 70% cacao, the darker the chocolate is, the less i'm going to eat some. Don't give…

I have 30 DS and No more trouble zones(NMTZ). I actually started with NMTZ before going to 30 DS, I highly recommend it. I am not going to lie, this one is more difficult and it's closer to an hour. you might feel like it's very hard and you want to stop, but OMG it works. I should start doing those again... I recently got…

I think before buying something is it VERY important that you consult either your doctor or pharmacist. A multivitamin can look inoffensive, but it can create interaction with medication or health conditions. Otherwise, I usually take during winter Vit C, always Vit D and Iron (I don't get enough, it's from my doctor's…

Can totally relate! I'm bigger than you but always had a pear shaped body and it's sooooo hard to find any pair of pants that looks good on curvier women. Dresses that's easy, you go with an A line dress and it looks fine, but pants, always something that looks not great! if they fit at the *kitten*, they are too tight on…

If you want to know a bit more on Sodium I suggest reading this quick article : http://ottawa.ca/residents/health/living/nutrition/healthy_eating/sodium/index_en.html It's short and sweet!

@pyro13g From the Calorie Calculator link you gave me, this is what I have : Maintenance: 2318 Calories/day Fat Loss: 1854 Calories/day Extreme Fat Loss: 1440 Calories/day So i should probably try to eat not more that 1700 cal a day, which would make more sense...

Great! Thank i'll try and see it I can apply your suggestions. There's a lot i'm already doing, but there might be just one thing that makes me stay where I'm at instead of losing the weight!

Hello! Well I am not an expert, but read a lot on nutrition and what I could say on low sodium is that now a lot of products offers a 25% less sodium option. HOWEVER, you still have to read the labels, some only add sugar or fat for compensation. A trick I have is stay away (as much as you can) from everything frozen such…

Same for me, I love fruits (obvioulsy probably because of the sugary taste) but HATE vegetables. I can eat only a few. I try to eat the ones I can tolerate, then I try to introduce one new veggie a year in my diet. For the ones I can stand but can't eat boiled or raw, I tried to make them super tiny and include them in a…

I was on WW for 6 weeks, I heard so many people losing weight through it, why not try?! Well, the problem with it is often when you are eating something that is nowhere to be found on the database (I found there is not much for the restaurants in Canada) and if the restaurant website do not have the nutrition table, well…

I'm voting for Rock of Love too, or The Hills!!! :)

Unfortunately, I have no answer for you. The only thing I can tell you is that the same thing is happening to me. Even if I try to do good with my calories and sports, my weight is kinda stuck for a reason... I tried to lower my calories, we'll see what happens! It might be that we are in the last 15 pounds... i dunno!

I totally fell of the wagon, keep going over my calories everyday :S I was very good the last two months :(

Day 3 is good, however day 1 and 2 weren't what I expected :frown: gotta stay focus on my goal!

One day, I hear someone telling me they read something about going to the gym in a magazine. Seems that nearly 80% doesn't like to go to the gym!!! I gotta say that when I wake up and I know I have to go to the gym, I feel like i just want to sleep in and relax... However, when how I look, I know I HAVE TO GO!!! I just…
