Yes. It got wavy and then curly. It's the damage caused by hair dryer, processing and chemicals. Straight hair follicles are round. As they get damaged, they become oval shaped which is curly hair follicle shape

I feel exactly like you. I gained 10lbs of the 20lbs that I lost this year :cry: I am so disappointed in myself. I tried doing the same things that got me motivated in the first place but they are not working anymore. I'm out of ideas:sad:

That is so true for me. I weigh 140lbs at 5'-6" and I have inherited all kinds of health problems even though I excercise regularly :ohwell:

Monday - Full body strength training + 1 hour cardio + 1hour flex Tuesday - Off Wednesday - Full body strength training + 1 hour cardio + 1hour flex Thursday -Off Friday - Golf Saturday - Hiking 4-5 hours with 10lb backpack 2000-3000 ft elevation Sunday - Off Strength Training all 1x10 all Bench Press Chest fly Military…

Agree. 80% of calories are burned by metabolism and 20% by execrcise. So it is more beneficial to increase your metabolic rate

Potatoes are the problem not the frying. Potatoes have a Glycemic index of 92 compared to table sugar which is 53. If you are going to eat the hash browns, just enjoy the fried ones. You won't be doing any better with the steamed ones.

I would love to be called Serena Williams. Strong, sexy, confident, athletic

Thank you. At 46 I feel like I am in better shape than I was in my 20s :wink:

So what do the ladies on here bench/sqaut? Need some inspiration :smile:

Many ladies in the gym will not use heavy weights because they are afraid of looking like female body builders. I keep telling them that they will never look like that unless they have testestrone and lift for 6-8 hours a day and eat 4000 calories. It seems to be some kind of mind block that women have against weights

Lost my 20 lbs :-)

I saw it and loved it. I would have like more naked dancing and less deep story line because that is not I watch a stripper movie for. More Tatum less Matthew

Freshly made hazelnut pesto! Yumm.. and Kale chips :-)

Thanks :-)

Hi Valerie, I completely agree with you. I turned 46 last year and hit menopause. OMG! I had always prided my self in that if I put on weight, it was in the right places. But now, all the weight is on my belly! WTH? I look like a middle aged man. Lost my butt and about to lose my boobs :-(

Agreed. I wish this myth were removed from public minds

If you were insulin sensitive in the past, I suggest you eliminate low GI products and stick to meat and veggies. I had the same issue and it worked after eliminating fruits and carbs

I did log it under strength training. Doesn't give any calorie deficits at all

I love Gripads. They are easy to take on and off. They have a thicker padding than gloves.You don't sweat with Gripads like you do with gloves.

Why doesn't this program credit any calories for strength training? I know I'm burning calories when my heart is racing and I'm breathing heavy. Yet it credits you for sit-ups and slow walking which don't even make me breathe heavy

Thank you everyone. Great suggestions. I recently joined MFP but I have been eating right and excercising for a while. I only recently heard about this app. I drink atleast 8 cups of water.green tea a day. I do heavy strength training 90 minutes twice a week and I hike up mountains atleast 5miles on weekends. I don't…
