Thanks so much! That does makes sense to me.

I read an article in from Men's Fitness that debunked that whole article. The guy who wrote the article basically misrepresented the study. He didn't mention that the people who exercised lost more weight from their midsection. There were a lot of things from the study that he left out to make his point. To me, Time should…

In a recent study they put three different groups on a calorie restricted diet, the first did no additional exercise,the second did cardio only (I believe it was 30 minues of cardio three times a week) and the last group did the cardio along with three days a week of strength training. All three groups lost around the same…

I am not on maitenance but I can tell you my calorie boosting meal. 1 1/2 spinach, a cup grape tomatoes 2 tablespoons blue cheese, 1/3 cup corn, 1/4 cup garbanzo beans, 2 tbsp newmans own balsamic vinigerette (sp?). This meal ends up being around 450 to 500 calories and you can add more corn and garbanzo beans to beef it…

I like where your mind is at. Now you have me all excited about after Christmas sales. I can't wait to get myself some presents. I can't wait to be at the size that I want to be at.

Yay! Lost two more pounds. I believe this makes my first 10 lost since I started on mfp. I will have to make a ticker now. I also measured my waist it started out at 32.5" and now it is 30" so that is pretty exciting. I didn't measure my hips when I started, but they are 42.5 now so I will measure them a month from now and…

Another tip, after you stir it, store it in the fridge upside down. I have noticed that this keeps the it from separating again and it also prevents the bottom of the peanut butter from getty dried out which sometimes happens with natural peanut butter. Works for me. Just be careful when you open it!

Thank you guys so much for the great response. You have made my mind up. If I can afford, it I am so going to do it. xsargex I agree with you that Israeli's are total badasses. Beckyi88 if you happen to be in the Roswell, GA area we should try to go to classes together and encourage each other. Otherwise good luck on with…

Yes I was wondering about that too. I got addicted to reading her posts and then she left me hi-and dri. Hope she is okay. 00Angela00 please tell us that you are okay!

Thank you so much for the help. When I go to the doctor I am going to ask to be tested for both Thyroid issues and Iron deficiency. I don't think it would be mono since I have had these problems for many years now.

I was just wondering if I am having thyroid issues. My dad has hypothyroidism. I always feel tired and foggy in the brain. Seriously, I can sleep for 10 hours still really tired and fall asleep the minute I sit down to watch a movie with my family. I also have a low pulse rate for someone who doesn't exercise (between 60…

I hate that! That happened to me the other day with banana bread from planet smoothie. Usually I am carful to read the serving size, but every once in a while they get one over on me. It makes me so mad because I have to cut back for the day to make up for it. URGGGH.

Hi everybody. I lost another pound. I am really excited about about that. I am having a little trouble sticking to my diet as of late. It has been challenging for me. I gave up yesterday and ate some horribly unhealthy Chinese food that was probably full of sodium and sugar. I can say one thing though, I only felt stuffed…

Hi everyone. Thanks so much for starting thread. This has been a great motivator for me. I love being able to Keep track of my different weight loss goals through this thread. I just realized something if I continue to lose weight as MFP says I am supposed to, I should weigh 168.20 by my three year anniversary with my…

Make sure you do the fitness test first. Chancs are, if you can't make it through that you need to try a less intense program and build up to P-90x

How do your find things that put things that are in your private food database that you haven't used before in a meal.

That didn't work I don't think that I checked the box to make the entry public so it is not in the database.

Also, you can have fewer periods with the Nuva ring, you just leave it in for the full 28 days instead of taking it out after 21 and having a period. That is what I do. I usually have one every other month. I had one friend who never had periods with it. My gyno said this was fine it was fine either way. It just depends on…

Ditto on the Nuva Ring. I love it. I didn't gain any weight on it or experience any increased appetite at all.

That woman does have an amazing figure. I also wouldnt balk at having Rachael McAdams body either.

I love skinny cow ice cream during that time of the month for the chocolate cravings, or Lindt 70% cocoa chocolate. Also, taking a daily calciium magnesium supplement is supposed to reduce cramping and pms. I am not sure if that works. Walks help. I personally recommend birth control though. I am on the Nuva ring and I…

I have heard that it is best to eat low fat dairy products because they don't add in anything to substitute for the fat, they just skim it off. So low fat or fat free, milk cheese, plain yogurt are all supposed to be better. Fat free deserts like snackwells have more calories because they just add more sugar to make up for…

I think the "Eat this not that" series could be helpful. They tell you what to eat at certain chain restaurants and what to avoid. I need a copy to carry with me everywhere i go so in case I am ever in a spontaneous situation I can have an idea of where to eat and what to eat. I think they focus mainly on large chains like…

Great job on everyones hard work and weight loss. I am stunned I lost another 2 pounds. I was in a wedding on Saturday. It was a beautiful wedding. My best friend looked positively stunning. I love her so much. She actually chose flattering (style and color) brides maids dresses. They made all the bridesmaids look great…

That is great! Unfortunately I don't think my RHR is particularly good right now. What were your workouts like when you started and what are they like now?

Great job! I can't wait until the 20 pound mark! You should be so proud of yourself.

I really, really want to have that done. How much does it cost. I also want to have laser stretch mark removal.
