I would log it as aerobic - it's running so definatley log it. It's not "life". Although it is fun. Life for me is sitting on the couch, anything else is exercise.

I had to google HCG diet and found this site: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/hcg-diet/an02091 Maybe people were warning you about following a nonproven treatment, or perhaps they were telling you that it is healthier to increase your exercise and eat a healthy diet rather than take a hormone in order to lose weight…

Hey don't be so down on yourself. How about asking your doctor for a physical therapy referral so the professionals can tell you what exercises are safe for your back?

Fresh foods with have less crap in them, going to make some chicken barley mushroom soup now

Hi, I think it's great your hubby wants you to be healthy. Don't think of dieting. Think of eating healty foods. You will need more calories when you lift. And it's not all about the numbers on the scale. Take measurements and before and after pictures. When you see how much better you look toned - that will be your…

also do not add salt until you are done cooking the beans

this sucks but my face is saggier. I have jowels now :(

I bought a Blendtec blender - very expensive but very strong and easy to clean. I have a cup of berries, whole banana in 8 ounces of almond milk with some ice. If I need protein I add chia seeds. Drink it in the car on my way to work. I was doing green smoothies, much more nutrititious but I got lazy

Thanks for this post! When I wnet through menopause I gained 10 lbs and started eating like a pig and was not exercising. I watched Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead (on Netflix) did a juice fast and LOST MY CRAVINGS FOR BAD CARBS!! I also stopped drinking coffee. After losing 20 lbs, I am now eating a healthy diet, exercising…

I hate the gym and cancelled my membership. But I love to walk - so I try to walk 10,000 - 20,000 steps a day and do exercise videos for 30 minutes 3-4 times a week. Find something you enjoy.

I think they assign that 1200 calories to every woman. I FINALLY did my TDEE after mumbling to myself for months, "I don't need no stinking TDEE" and my calorie needs are 1640 calories - to maintain my weight. So if I do any exercise I should lose and I am alot older than you - 54!! Also, how could these teenagers and 20…

yes we rock!

absolutely! i am 54 and lost 20 lbs. I started with a juice fast for 3 days and got rid of cravings and gradually I started to increase my activity. I hate to exercise but I love to walk - so I got a pedometer and walk 10000+ steps a day. Just start off logging everything you eat and all exercise Cut out all liquid…

i am such a baby - i still love rice with butter, fish sticks and would love to try a fluffernutter. I haven't had on in like 40 years!!!

Red wine actually is good for your heart. It contains a lot of antioxidents and alcohol raise HDL - the good cholesterol. Personaly, I don't drink at all. But if people include it in their allowed calorie intake it can be part of a healthy diet

every day - i can't help it

WOW! That's amazing. Thank you for posting your pictures. You look great!

don't eat trigger foods. for me sugar donuts (mmmmmmmm donuts), sugar cookies, sweetened cereals smoothie for breakfast make my lunch drink lots of water log everything on MFP move my *kitten*

You lost 10 lbs in 2 weeks?! That is awesome!

I am afraid that if i leave MFP I will become the fat slug that was previously me. When I slack off with the exercise, I eat less and when I eat more, I force myself to exercise more so at the least I maintain my weight loss. I think that if i stopped logging I would get lazy and eat too much. BUT, you have to do what's…

Oh, this post was about COFFEE? How disappointing

and he shouldn't have won 7 tours!!!!

The thing that I hate about Lance Armstrong is how he destroyed people who spoke against him and they were telling the truth! He should go to jail for perjury. Now he is finally admitting it and people will say "Aw Poor Lance - he had cancer so we must forgive him. He was a bully and is not a nice person. Gregg Lemond was…

soda and alcohol - I am so glad that I don't drink. Not only is it a waste of calories but it decreases your inhibitions so not only do you actr like a fool- but worse than that - you eat more

7am smoothie almond milk banana fresh or frozen beerries chia seeds few ice cubes 10am snack chobani yougurt or a mozzerella stick I miss bagles but I can't hadle all those carbs. Now I treat myself to one maybe once a month

hi, You sure can do it working out at home! just be sure to watch your diet too. Start by cutting out drinks with added sugar and juice, fried foods and increase fruits, vegeables, lean protein and water. Cardio will help more with weight loss but strengthening will increase your metabloism Good luck! Cindy

Hi, I add vegetables in so occasionally I can check and see if I am getting enough potassium, calcium, iron, etc. But as far as calories go, you don't have to count any vegetables except for peas, corn, potaotes and cooked dries peas and beans.

Fantastic! More parents should be like you ladies.

It's safe to have a cheese stick or a tablespoon of peanut butter. Just try not to eat any carbs at night. It hels to make sure you are drinking enough water too
