I am frustrated by the same thing. MFP does not take into account that fact that lifting weights burns calories even after you are done with the exercise....even days later. I do not know how to account for this on MFP, so if anyone else does, I would love to hear how. Until then, I am just satisfied knowing that my body…

I also find that eating a lot of fiber will do that too me. I love those kellogg's fiber plus antioxidants bars, but then I definitely am bloated. Maybe see if it is something you are eating...try to find any trends.

Why thank you mauri66!

I have been doing a lot of research on how to get fit/lean and almost all I have found has recommended high intensity weight training. This is a short exercise (only about 20 minutes, but it continues to burn calories WAY after you stop working out...unlike cardio. It has really worked for me...I have lost 30 lbs and love…

I haven't heard of this book, but have been doing a lot of strength training, so I will definitely check out the book. In the meantime, I would love you to send the spreadsheet so I have it ready to go. Thank you so much for the offer! twildmann@gmail.com

For the ladies out there....I don't have pics, but I can share my experience with strength training. I started the Shin Ohtake Max Workout about 7 weeks ago. It focuses on weight lifting...and doing fast, but effective workouts. I have seen a HUGE difference in my tone. I actually like what I see when I look in the mirror.…

I am also having trouble figuring how many calories I burn. I just got finished doing 14 minutes of tabata training and have no clue how to enter it in MFP. Does anyone know how many calories you burn doing Tabata interval cardio training? Thanks!

I like tilapia with butter and old bay....baked.

I actually got a exercise program called "Mama Wants Her Body Back", which comes with "Mama Wants Her Abs Back" exercises. It focuses on the areas that get stretched during pregnancy. It took me 3 years to lose the weight with my daughter...just in time to get pregnant again. Now, it is 6 months after my son was born and I…

Thanks for the information. I will look at the website. I have been doing any exercise stuff I can get my hands on. I go to the gym only about once or twice a week, so I am usually doing stuff at home. I am just not sure what exercises to do in order to work the certain areas I really want to change. So far I have lost 21…

At times, I just eat something different then my family. If my husband and kids want pizza...fine....I don't want to deny them...but then I will make a Lean Cuisine Steamer bag for me to eat. It doesn't happen often, because I am able to make foods that are both good tasting and good for you, but this might work for the…

There is SO much information out there, it is hard to know what is right. I wish I could find someone to just TELL ME what to do/how much to eat/what kind of exercising to do, etc...but will fit into my lifestyle and help reach my goals. Stupid question...but is this what a personal trainer does? Are there people that do…

I am in the same boat. Lost a lot of weight in the beginning and now at somewhat of a standstill. I have read on MFP that eatting more will help. Seems so weird to actually eat more, but I do understand the concept. My two problems are 1) I can't exercise everyday (2 kids/1 baby at home) and 2) it gets to 9 pm and I don't…

Yummy......love anything crab. Thanks!

Love mine too....and another reason to love them... they give something for my hubby to grab onto while we spoon.l =)

I am a beer girl so I usually drink Yuengling Lite...only 99 calories.

I freeze my daughters GoGurts all the time...I can't imagine it is much different. =)

The Fiber One Brownies are awesome and they are only 90 calories. I also like the slim fast peanut butter crunch bars...they taste just like butterfingers but only 100 calories. Skinny cow also makes some yummy stuff. Good luck!

cute x-mas socks, hair things, earrings/jewelry, small notepad to draw on, crayons, balls . We also give each of a children an ornament each year so when they grow up and go out on their own, they take the ornaments with them and then they have some for their tree. =)

You look FABULOUS! You inspire me...

This is a good one!

Love this one too!

I hear ya. I have been the same lately. I have been trying to allow myself 1 "not so great" snack a day....but I try to replace the really bad things with items that are fewer calories (to try to stay in my range). I have found fiber one brownies are only 90 calories but taste great...especially the peanut butter ones. I…

very cute turkeys. :smile:
