  • Eat. Yes, in moderation of course. I began my journey with MFP in January 2012 and did not have a goal weight in mind. BUT...I have hit an "acceptable" weight in my mind (being female, I would love to still drop more). I diligently counted calories until about June of 2012. Since I stopped I have still lost another 10-15…
  • To ensure that you do not become a nag, ask him what it would take to motivate him. Ask him how much he wants you to "nag" him. I kind of had this issue with my boyfriend. I could nag him like no other...but he is not going to really hunker down and do what needs to be done unless he is truly ready (this is HIM...not…
  • I have! It is yummy. Throw a little garlic in for extra flavor.
  • Hence why it is important to log. It is about more than just the calories. There are other positive nutritional factors to veggies (fiber, vitamins...).
  • Water is water. You should only be logging glasses of water ONLY as water.
  • Being an ex-personal trainer, I would say it just depends. Even though I used to be a trainer, I am going to a trainer right now. As first I thought I wanted to be with a female but after observing the female trainers at my gym, I did not feel any of them would give me the kind of training I wanted. I did not want to be…
  • Being an ex-personal trainer (serving a short time at the YMCA) they should still have certified personal trainers that will walk you through an orientation on the machines. I did this numerous times. :smile: I do not know what time you are going so staff could be slim pickings, but seriously...ask at their front desk. You…
  • Based on personal experience, I would (in no particular order): 1. Go to an allergy doc and get tested. When I had my issues creep up, this was my first step. Found out I had the same allergies since I was about 12 (I am now 35), but this was still good info to have. 2. See a dermatologist. This was my next step. Turns…
  • I, too, have been a part of a procession such as this. Nov 29, 2009 4 officers were killed execution styly in WA. One of the officers shot was my best friends brother-in-law. The number of individuals on the sides of the road showing love and support was absolutely amazing. THANK YOU TO ALL LAW ENFORCEMENT AND INDIVIDUALS…
  • Americano with a little bit of steamed nonfat = ~30 calories.
  • For "junk food" you could certainly do a lot worse.
  • I was going to say this same thing. Start on a track...I have been back into running for a couple years now and many times feel like a bafoon. I feel like I run very heavy on my feet and look lopey. But hey...I'm doing it. : ) And I second all the comments about the waves, thumbs up, etc. You will get acknowledgement from…
  • Makes my head hurt, too! I can drink other diet soda's without a problem. I like the tasts of Coke,...I have found that Coke Zero does not give me the headaches.
