There are no shortcuts! I'm glad you physician didn't cave in to your request. Start an indoor exercise regimen. Get some elastic bands and start an eating program that emphasizes adequate protein intake and track everything you eat. If you do, you will be surprised at the progress you make.

Myths! It is important to have some breakfast, but controlled clinical studies of weight loss show that excess calories consumed at breakfast just leads to greater calorie consumption during the day. Try a protein shake or other small protein serving (I like hard boiled eggs myself that I cook up days ahead of time) rather…

I weigh almost every day. It keeps me motivated. I record when I have a significant loss but don't freak over the ups and downs.

My standard reply to those that are not losing at the expected rate is : are you measuring (not estimating) EVERYTHING that passes your lips and how accurate is your assessment of your exercise burn? I believe (and the data support) that we underestimate our calories in and overestimate our calories burned. Otherwise, my…

The protein figure here are too low! Don't worry about going over if you are healthy otherwise.

We all screw up from time to time, but that doesn't make it ok. We need to acknowledge we screwed up and get back on track. It's not the end of he world....tomorrow is a new day!

My standard reply o questions like this is: are you measuring EVERYTHING that goes past your lips? A common error is to to not count the little tastes during food prep or to be estimating the portions. If you are not experiencing the weight loss you expect, make sure you are actually tracking your eating.

Well, a common mistake. There are two kinds of ounces: a volume measurement, as on your measuring cups and a weight measure which you get from the scale. Non liquids wil be measured in weight almost always.

This has been discussed multiple times. These foods have significant nutrients and the fruits usually have substantial caloric value and sugar. This site expects that you lob everything.

I bring it into the shower and shampoo it after my workout. I let it air dry.

The source of the calorie info should tell you whether it is cooked or raw measurement as well. If not noted, it is likely raw.

Absolutely not. The protein recommendation here at MFP is really quite low..

I generally don't record my exercise. I use my HRM and get a calorie burn and adjust my intake, but I don't bother to record it here. It is uploaded to the polar site for my review so I don't see that it adds anything to type it in here......

A not uncommon occurrence

I like runkeeper for iPhone and android, I just don't know if it's available for the blackberry... Uses the gps for running and cycling...

Look, there is no exercise or diet that will selectively remove belly fat! Your body will remove fat from various compartments in it's own way. You will need to keep working! Good luck and keep at it!

Absolutely hogwash! There is no absolute need for carbohydrates at all! There are populations whose natural diet had essentially no carbohydrate at all! And there is no evidence that dietary protein causes any difficulty for people that have normal kidney and liver function.

Well, if ittable been stable for 2.5 years, I don't think losing more weight will help. May need to have a skin reduction /tuck surgery to improve the appearance.....

How can you loose 6. Inches from your waist and still have your clothes fit??? Sonehing id wrong with your measurements or your clothes must be sort if elastic.

The FDA has determined that HCG does not work for weight reduction and I personally am not interested in any drps obtained from the urine of pregnant women

The elliptical saves you from the impact of the treadmill which is why I prefer it for my indoor workout

Elastic exercise bands are another alternative to help you gradually build strength. Just keep working at it and in no time you will be cranking out the pushups!

Up at % am in bed by 10, but occasionally have the TV on. (Some weeks I am on until midnight and so I just get very little sleep that week)

You've done great so far! Just get back up on the wagon and move on> Today is another day!

Beautiful! Congrats!

Our autonomic nervous system controls sweating most commonly to adjust temperature . It doesn't necessarily mean you are burning a ton of calories, although you may be..

How great! keep up the good work!

AWESOME Doll!
