* To be sure - this is a great site with caring, hard working folks. But make no mistake - the site is simply an inanimate object; * YOU will be successful at lossing unhealthy body fat only when you have a really, really passionate "WHY". * Take a look at some of the posters' FANTASTIC weight losses; slow, steady, healthy…

One measuring cup holds 8 ounces OR 238 mls. There ya go! No wonder you thought you were trying to drink SO MUCH water.

* I have found that doing Zumba & calories burned has a lot to do with how much "Heart & Soul" you chose to pump into each action during the duration of the routine! * So my calorie expenditure on a really REVVED up nite & some one else's version of a slowwwww cha cha cha can certainly be very different. * I started out…

* If you do a SEARCH right here on MFP you will find a TON of Adkin's related PRO & CON. One thing is for certain - reagrdless of the food/calories you consume in efforts to drop weight , the important key is - Are you losing FAT lbs or are you losing H2O or even worse - lean muscle. * The initial big weight loss with…

* Welcome aboard! YOU have taken a very important 1st step here! I started officially on May 04 2010 and do THIS every day- 10 minutes to log all. Accounting every bite that passes your lips is a great behavior modifier. * But what I read here in your introduction is a big NEED for you to consider - CHANGE YOUR Mind -…

* Wait til you FEAST your EYES on what you are about to see on this Alaskan cruise!! I've done the Alaskan cruise on Princess, not once but TWICE - it is awesome! * The food is "managable" - they set up a new buffet about every 3-4 hours and there are MANY MANY healthy food choices. We opted for the "no formal dining room"…

I so agree with the above poster about sodium! * And know that EVERY single processed food & MOST food at restaurants are loaded with excess sodium (SALT by only one of it's names)! * If you can bump him down to 2000 mg of sodium even better - but it takes effort for sure. I do not have salt in my home for cooking, no salt…

I have Granddaughters 3 mths, 1 1/2 yr and 8 yrs old. I've decided my options include: A. Getting UP an hour earlier in the am. (do! cause it works the best!) B. Stay awake an hour extra after they are asleep, (usually way too tired) C. Turn on a video during nap times (this works for me) D. Include two out of three in the…

*I have to work REALLY hard to get enough protein in daily - so I use the REAL EGGS - liquid (Costco) for fat free eggs - like 5-7 egg servings a day! I buy it by case of 8 containers and keep in the freezer - take one out every other day! * aslo the Premier Protein Plus bars (good price at Costco too) have 30 grams…

* am rather new to this but eat EVERY 3 hours - start w/ brkfst @ 7am / 10am / 1pm / 4pm & 7pm with each meal being 250-300 cals that include 15-20 grams protein & 7-10 grams fiber. * I teach art classes to elementary age children so I "pack" up to three mini-meals (as I call them per day - the 10a/1pm/& 4pm. Usually…

Dear Voyage, * I feel for your pain & discomfort, believe me, I really do. Chronic illness is a challenge by the minute & I understand that so well. * You mention your doctor frequently in your posts & the orders for 1000 cal. intake , but I was wondering WHAT THIS SITE recommended for caloric intake when you set up MFP…

OK! I tried this" negative" method for chin-ups & push-ups this week AND I can visualize it really working - in the long run! My breast bone feels like it's about to crack :bigsmile: but it was all good! Thank YOU for the idea!

Hope you feel better soon! I think this idea makes alot of sense. I will use it and keep ya posted! THX :smile:

* THANK YOU to all who have given me input on this "getting Strong enough" topic! I appreciate your input & encouragement greatly!

Dear Caring Husband, * Have you ever tried to nail Jello to the wall? Well that's what you are doing when you try to change anybody other than yourself. It's simply NOT going to happen. You CANT make someone else realize their own self worth or exhibit self esteem for them. Your wife must find her own way, in her own time.…

Best BULK price I have found is at Costco! Regular food store price is way outrageous!

Might want to use "circuit training" and the amount of time doing it for the Body Pump class. Also - simply use "strength training" & amount of time done.

* Just a thought - why soy protein when you could get lactose - free whey protein? And though soy protein is OK , it's methionine content is very low compared to animal based proteins, so like all legumes soy should ideally be eaten with foods such as nuts or vegetables. * Anyway - I put non- flavored protein powder in…

* Elavil (one brand name) or chemical name "amitriptyline" is a tri-cyclic antidepressant med that is frequently used to treat migraines. Drowsiness, weight gain & dry mouth are top of the list of side affects. Some folks must take it at bed time OR request a smaller dose OR both. But there are MANY other meds in the…

Check out the OMRON brand - I think they have what you are looking for! I use a Sportline brand. But I have seen Omrons advertised right here on this site! It's called GoSmart.

* Having been to only my 1st class last week - (don't know if this is your 1st? ) - MY Guess is 650-800 cals/hr IF you simply keep moving/dancing whether you know what your doing or not! But regardless - HAVE a BLAST! :laugh:

* According to ob/gyn folks, the female body does not return to the pre-pregnant hormonal state for almost 6months. And according to LouAnne Brizendine, MD, who wrote the book "The Female Brain" - pregnancy hormones abound in the female brain for up to & over 6 months. * Point here is - You sound like you are NOW ready to…

I agree with those who simply get up before the REALLY hot heat hits! I live in the high desert in Idaho & MAN - it gets HOT here (but NOT humid) and we just have to "get r done" before 9 am or after 8pm. But I don't always get that lucky, so I take EXTRA water, ice cubes & wear lots of sunscreen. Actually as long as you…

Thanks again - good new stuff (to me - NEW)

Dear Concerned Loving Husband, * NO ONE will get your wife's attention on this "diet" plan - but YOUR WIFE - by herself & at her own time & palce. A person has to CHANGE THEIR MIND - 1st! As you most certainly have done yourself - no one "encouraged you to lose all the weight so far - but yourself. And as you mention in…
