How did things turn out for you? I'm in this situation now.

1. What made you accept the invitation or join? I'm a part of your community on Facebook but thought I may get additional support and views from the members of MFP. 2. What's your biggest challenge when it comes to your fitness? Lately it's maintaining my enthusiasm for it. I love it while I'm doing it and yet I struggle…

Struggling with self diagnosed binge eating. Some days I start off so great and by the end of a long, tiring day I just want to (and do) scarf down enormous amounts of calories. I have been heavy most of life, about 4 years ago I got very committed to changing my relationship with food.. Began logging all my foods and ate…

I'm doing this too! Great cause.. http://childrenscancerresearchfund.cmail19.com/t/r-l-afqld-iuxdkatt-y/

I will be moving from the Philadelphia, PA area sometime mid September, to the Tampa/Clearwater area. I used to live in Clearwater but it was over 20 years ago! Will be looking for places to run, bike, hike, roller blade and open to trying new activities such as stand up paddle boarding. Suggestions welcome! Would be great…

I am all about the mental transformation.. In releasing my mental demons I lost 50 pounds.. People ask how I feel.. I say despite feeling better physically the internal changes feel the best! It's true. Keep up the great work you're a positive role model and great inspiration!

There isn't anything that I don't love about me, my body or the way I live my life. I have spent too many years worried, scared and hiding behind food to waste anymore of my time that way. On my journey, I have found and come to KNOW, that I am a beautiful, smart, capable, loveable, tenacious, strong, motivated, determined…

FANTASTIC post,

I have several comments. One, it takes about 90 days to truly set a new habit in place. So, try to commit to 90 days of consistently logging. Find some some MFP friend you can truly connect with and stay equally involved with their progress as you want them to be with yours. Get to know something about them, personally...…

In the first year or so of changing, it is easy to have the pendulum swing too far to the obsessive side. I went though this and it is only as I hit my to year anniversary of changing my life, that I am loosening up a bit. I think there is a fine line between obsessive and holding ones self accountable. I know no one else…

Calories in, calories burned, weighing and measuring food and ourselves are all just estimates, really. Nothing is going to be 100% accurate... But, it at least makes us aware and cognizant of what we are doing and certainly a much better gage than eyeballing things or throwing all caution to the wind!

My reason was to truly be healthy... And it started with my mental and emotional health before it allowed me to transform my physical shape. But OP, I think yo look amazing, you are absolutely gorgeous and have avery curvy figure. One of the things I actually now miss, was my big hips and butt... Sometimes i now think I…

I know it will be hard' but maybe stop weighing yourself... Try it for a few weeks and just see how it goes. That damn number of the scale F's with everyones head! You will start to feel bloated once you increase calories.. I am sure you have heard of refeeding edema. T,ry to focus on general overall health. general health…

I belonged to an anytime fitness for a blink of an eye, after the Golds gym I used to go to closed down unexpectedly and before the new LA Fitness was built, which is where i belong, now.. It was like working out in someons glorified basement. But served its purpose in the interim. The Pros, however, is it is open,well,…

I had over 50 pounds to loose, weighing in at 204 at 5'6". I had lost about 20 and was able to maintain that loss and range in weight between 165 for a few years, but after a bad break up, it began to not so slowly start to creep up, again.. Next thing i knew I was darn near 180 pounds! In November 2011 I decided to STOP…

Mine, which i just counted for 60 seconds is 45 BPM. With that said, I do some intense cardio sessions.. Spinning, trail running, hiking, stair mater, etc. I am attaching a link from the Spinning.com website. I think you will find it helpful and interesting. It not only gives a range but explains the benefits of working…

You're not lifting enough weights. First, make sure your diet is about 25% protein (roughly one gram of protein for ever pound you weigh) and always eat your exercise calories back you cant build muscle without enough calories/nutrients to do it.. Second, start lifting some real WEIGHTS! Start with a warm up set that you…

I am looking forward to the session start up. It is the only show i watch on tv... I am wondering what kind of menace Carl is going to be. I like Rick, but i really begun to dig Darryl the last two seasons.

You're way over thinking this! If you enjoy running, run. If you enjoy lifting, lift. I do both and many other activities as well such as spinning, hiking, boot camp, stair climber, elliptical, Pilates and yoga. I make sure i eat enough calories as CUSTOM set by me and aim to get about a gram of protein for each pound i…

This post has to be a joke. You dont weigh over 300 pounds if you cant afford to eat!

Very funny!

I hope this post is a joke... 1200 calories IF you arent exercising isnt even enough...

I do this too. I make sure i "save" enough calories for my night time eating. But, i have also been able to tune into my body and i realize when i am tired i tend to gravitate towards sugary foods which will give my brain and instant boost of glucose (your brains only source of fuel). Try to figure out if you're just…

I truly believe there is a sugar addiction. I was reluctant to believe this at first, but i do notice with things like baked goods, candy and ice cream its like a switch goes off in my head. I obsess and fixate. I actually taught myself how to practice eating those tempation and over indulgent foods. It was hard at first,…

Muscle does not weigh more than fat. A pound of fat weighs the same as a pound of muscle.. Just a pound. HOWEVER, muscle is more dense and therefore a more compact form of body mass. It also take a lot to gain a pound of muscle weight while losing fat.

I went from a 38 full C to an itty bitty 32-34 A+/B- I dont mind so much loosing the boobs but i dont care much for the deflated, loose skin that USED to be my boobs. I think its age and genetics... My sister losses weight but never seems to loose her boobs. Mine were some of the first things to go. ????

Wipe off the nasty head sweat mark on the benches, take your empty water bottles and used paper towels to the trash, put the weights back where they belong. Although id rather walk over a pile of plates on the ground then to have to unload 445 pounds 45 pounds at a time from the leg press machine... People at the gym are…
