Been there, done that!! I am happily off all caffiene for 3 months!! I was a tad cranky at first, but exercise helped alot and now I feel great!!

You are doing your treadmill for up to 3 hours a day??? Well, if that is the case, then, yes, you are burning alot of calories. The calorie deficit MFP comes up with is dependent on your activity level. If you are exercising that much maybe try changing your activity level to high. Weight is lost when the calories burned…

I reserve one day a week to eat whatever I want, however much I want. When I jones for something I put it on my list to eat on my whatever day. Knowing I have the option to eat it later, stops me from blowing my food plan. 9 times out of 10 when I get to my whatever day I don't want whatever it was anyway!!

Some of my favorite "portable" protien snacks include Jack Links Beef Jerky, StarKist Albecore Tuna in single serve cans, Hormel Turkey Pepperoni, protien bars, yogurt with Kashi Go Lean Crunch mixed in it and EAS proien drinks. After you get your microwave, try Michelina's Lean Gourmet meals! Here in Texas they are only…

If you lose the weight gradually over time your skin will be able to shrink with you. It also depends on your age and the amount of collagen you have. The older you are, the less elasticity your skin has so it doesn't shrink up. I will always have my little "apron", but I don't have the money to get it removed either. Alot…

Some of my favorite snacks are beef jerky, turkey pepperoni, yogurt with 1/2 cup Kashi Go Lean Crunch, and an orange with cottage cheese. All are good sources of protien and not super high calories either.

I did it by myself, then my husband joined me, then I got hurt and stopped working out, then he stopped working out.....now I am doing it again and he is not, but I am sure that as my body changes he will again join me. The cool thing is that this time my 16 year old is joining me!! Very cool! Good luck! Help your honey…

I used to go through that too; but I decided to quit allowing myself to get all upset anymore if I ask him if I am the reason and he says no. 9 times out of 10 it really doesn't have anything to do with me anyway. Men compartmentalize everything and we are emotion oriented so we feel it more. I totally hate that seperated…

I had the same pull up bar.....I screwed the collars into the door jam!! I was able to hang upside down on the darn thing to decompress my back!!
-
WOW! That is so awesome!! Keep it up!!

Jump rope in the house!

Woke up late for work, but I have learned to NOT skip breakfast......ate a protien bar during the 7 minute drive to work!!

Check out Bill Phillips book Body for Life. I lost 35 pounds and was in my best shape ever. Waiting to cleared from a back injury now so I can do it again!! Basically he explains how to balance your carbs and protiens and the best part is you don't have to count calories unless you really want to :-)

No. Women that look like that are on so many supplements its crazy and they aren't necessarily healthy due to the lack of body fat. You'll be fine. Be prepared to buy smaller clothes.

MUSCLE IS DENSER THAN FAT! If you Are working out like that then I would suggest paying more attention to how your clothes are fitting than the scale. At my top fitness level, I weighed the same as I weigh now (141), but only wore a size 4. Now I wear a size 8 or 9. Same weight; you're ok, keep up with the weights and…

That is so unrealistic its crazy! I am no expert, but I don't think it would be healthy to exercise for 6 hours a day!! Come on, really?? I can't imagine any doctor saying a regimen like that would be OK to pursue.....Someone could do that for a few days, but it would not be obtainable over a long period of time. Maybe…

i used to hang out with Pantera....does that count? The lead guitarist, Daryl and I got tattooed by the same artist. I even have a pic of me tattooing him!! Well, I wasn't really inking him, we were just messing around. Ya, that counts!!

Hey SweetToy!! Definitely remove "soon" from your vocabulary; you didn't gain the weight in a couple months so its not gonna come off in a couple months either. If you are obese, I would suggest going and having a complete physical and talking to your doc about it. There are a million gazillion diets out there-your doc…

Water.....alcohol makes me break out in handcuffs!

Accountability is the way to go! It really helps alot!:happy:

They "get it", its just that since guuys are wired differently they don't show it thee way we do. Men are visual and women are relational. My husband thought I was hot when I weighed 182 and at 145 he thinks I look amazing. Me?? Well, I loved the way I looked at 135 when I was a total gym rat and buff as hell! The issue…

Way to go!! Awesome job!!

I am sure there is a nurse on campus. I would suggest maybe asking the nurse if she could refer you to a nutritionist that could help you with a food plan that would encompass all your food allergies. My cousins kids are both Celiacs and since this discovery they have both flourished!! So many things are actually labelled…

Hi there. Been there done that!! I am 5-9 and at the peak of my anorexia I weighed in at 107! Not a very good weight for someone of my height. (normal weight for me is 142-162) I am proud of you for taking the big step into recovery! Take it slow and hopefully you have someone around you who you know you can trust and who…

I like shredding my leftover pot roast and eating it on a whole wheat roll. If it is dry I like to use my microwave steamer to heat it up-it works great!

To calculate the amount of protien you need on a daily basis take your weight in pounds and divide by 2.2. I weigh 151 (right now) so my protien requirement is 68g a day. ( Information taken from "The Complete Food Counter" by Annette B. Natow and Jo-Ann Heslin.)
