one of the BEST stories and pictures I have seen in MFP in a long time. Very real and genuine. Love the comment your buddy made to inspire you back to the gym:-) So funny I laughed out loud! May you be blessed with continued inspiration and motivation and live a totally rocking healthy life!!!! Cheers:-)

skip the fad and any labeled with quick results. You didnt get fat and unhealthy overnight so why would you think it would just go away that fast? It takes time.....time will be your best friend too because during that time you will learn about your body chemistry and what works for you. Being healthy is multidimensional.…

Every two weeks. Weight loss in not linear but rather rather comes off in chunks (no pun intended) SO I really look forward to weigh in day because I know there will be some kind of result and I never get frustrated or disappointed by fluctuations

I use a HRM by Polar called the Polar FT-7. I bought it on amazon.com for about $75 and really love it. I find it is about 10-20% lower than the MFP database and the cardio machines estimates. The reason being it is calculating based on height, weight, age, HR and includes the ups and downs of the exercise without having…

ironically I just did the same exact thing....deleted a bunch of people because they either are not active or provide no valuable support.

I love your pictures especially the one in the maiden costume! So cute!!! Well, your transformation is fantastic and your life story beautiful in every way possible. Thanks so much for sharing. I admire you tremendously. I also agree with you about eat less move more. Very good advice for everyone. Cheers!

totally empathize with you. On a positive note I highly recommend two things to help. First is go to the public library and check out the book "all your worth". Second thing is to start using software to track your spending and make you and your wife a realistic budget based on your current situation. Lastly, plan your…

I did South Beach in the spring of 2005 before my wedding. I lost about 18 pounds total but the first two weeks were the most crucial for sure! The rest just came off with little effort but the first two weeks I was really impressed by my loss and my overall feeling.

Hello! I love the carolinas. I live in Atlanta, GA. I have two kids ( 5 and 3) and I can only imagine your busy life with 5 kids. Good news is you have all the control and ability to feed your body the nutrition you need. I remind myself that to take care of yourself is no different than being on an airplane and you put…

as with everything the balance comes from the goal to be met. Calories are important HOWEVER the macros will assist with meeting the daily/weekly calorie goals and not feeling deprived or having sluggish feelings as a result of calorie restriction. When watching your macros (I follow mine very carefully) the thing to…

I am an RN. I have worked in critical care for over 12 years and spent a good time at USC hospital caring for morbid obesity patients post operatively. There is some research being done regarding genetics, physical and mental associations etc with this condition. It is a medical condition. Although many people share common…

Studies that link weight loss to omega-3 fatty acids have focused chiefly on fish oil. Both human and animal studies suggest that the omega-3 acids in fish can assist with weight loss. Several studies from "The American Journal of Nutrition" and "International Journal of Obesity" suggest that 1.5 to 2 g daily of fish oil…

Yes I just posted about this....it us often co-prescribed with an antidepressant and is highly addictive. It does work but the side effects are to be seriously considered in light of its use and benefits.

There are prescription weight loss appetite suppresants which are simply put doctor prescribed speed! They do suppress your appetite but also can become additive and in the end are only good for short term use. I have found that the best appetite suppressant is in fact drinking lemon water or green tea with lemon (lemon is…

Fish.....love it and would eat it daily if my husband would let me:-) But chicken is a close second!

I log not only daily but literally after everything I eat. I am addicted!!!

honestly you did not gain weight overnight SO do not expect to loss it that fast. MFP is to keep you on track and inspired. I follow people who are positive and want to reach a goal. Once that goal is met it is time to set a new one! Health is so much more important than anything else as it determines all success from…

I recently decided to track my HR during weight lifting and I am glad I did. As it turns out I am burning twice the cals I thought I was! My HR during weight training is 130-167 and is awesome cardio and strength. I bought the Polar FT7 after much review and assessing my overall goals. For running I just use my iphone and…

I love this idea! I have two kids and started MFP last year. The new friends have shared lots of great advice and encouragement. A road to health is best shared with others! CHEERS:-)

this sounds similar to the paleo diet my sister in law does. SHe has amazing results and also does cross fit training with it. Very good and nutritious!

I am currently looking to loose about 35 poounds. I have found in the past reducing carbs has been very effective in weight loss. This time I am looking to make it permanent! Need some friends though to support me. I'd love to jump start the summer and loose 10 pounds in May!
