I would second Vailara's recommendation of Body by You by Mark Lauren. My daughter began using it consistently since 1st week of Jan and has seen lots of strength gains as well as changes in body shape. She was able to surpass her original goals due to being able to do it consistently probably. It also did not take a lot…

Bump:)

Bump! Interesting article!

Bump - sounds SO good:)

Bump!

Bump! Lots of great ideas on here!

Log your calories BEFORE you eat them! Sometimes you decide not to when you see the numbers in black and white - or red:)

Wow! What great info here! Thanks for asking the question!

Love reading about your success! Great documentation with your pix!

I've always had the OP's question myself but now that I'm looking for ways to add protein without changing fat or carbs much I understand! Now - to find a protein powder I like without spending a bunch of $$ experimenting. Thanks for all the awesome suggestions and to the OP for asking the question I've been pondering…

Loved your story in every way! Congrats on the wonderful NSV and thanks for sharing it in such an entertaining way! You always make us smile:)

Interesting info!

Most of the times when I increase my workout dramatically I gain 2-3 lbs due to water retention. I have learned that it always goes away! Women seem to retain water for lots of reasons but if you stay true to your eating plan and workouts it goes away eventually. Be patient and consistent and you'll lose it!

These look wonderful!! Are they really easy?

Your transformation is awesome! You must be so proud of your accomplishments!

I've been wondering this myself. I'm 51 and started lifting heavier in March when I started MFP with a trainer. I then started lifting with free weights instead of machines in May when I began NEW RULES OF LIFTING FOR WOMEN. I have noticed an increasing pain in my lower back and hip now that I'm 5 weeks in and lifting much…

Bump to take it all in!

Thanks for sharing! I'm always looking for healthy ways to use very ripe bananas! Can't wait to try it:)

Like some others on here have mentioned NEW RULES OF LIFTING FOR WOMEN is a great place to start to get a workout that's just right for you - if you have access to weights. Even if you don't, it gives some great info on what's going on inside your body when you lift heavy (or light) and do cardio, as well as nutrition…

Thanks so much for posting! I LOVE success stories yours. It makes it seem so possible:) I have about 40 to lose with 17 down after 110 days here! Hope to be posting a story of my own someday. You're an inspiration!!

I know your pain. I went to a podiatrist and had orthotics made about 20 years ago. I STILL wear them! Best investment ever. However, if you have these don't get workout shoes for flat footed people or that will make your arches hurt. If I don't wear them my back and legs hurt. As for me, I personally can't go barefoot for…

Your transformation is amazing! I was about the same size when I found MFP. I have lost 17 lbs in around 110 days and like you, I've spent most my life trying to lose weight - or keep from gaining. So I'm a definite fan of this site! I'm curious how you did this besides eating breakfast and doing various cardio. Any other…

Congratulations! What an awesome thing - to not only share in getting healthier together but being able to look forward to doing so many healthy activities together in the coming years! Thanks for sharing your inspiring story!

Hey there. I know exactly how you feel. I have regularly worked out for years between 3-5 days per week (depending on my kid's sports schedules) but not only couldn't lose weight but continued to gain until I reached an all time high -even surpassing pregnancy weight! I "tried" to eat better and walked several times a week…
