  • Variety is always a good thing, and generally you want to work out 5-6 days a week. Rest is usually key for overworking muscles, so by doing the same workout everyday you may benefit from 2 days off a week. But, given you want to lose 60 pounds, you may not want that extra day off. Maybe try walking or jogging every other…

  • I haven't really had luck on MFP so far. At first maybe a pound or 2, but I was always going over... I got a free WW calculator app yesterday, and decided to give it a try. I am entering my foods on here first to get the calories, fat, and fiber. Calorie wise, its about equal to what MFP says I should be eating to lose. I…

  • Thanks for the suggestions. I started cutting out dairy just to see how I feel, and I have a Dr. appt tomorrow so I can talk about IBS and other lactose intolerance.

  • Women's Muscle and Fitness Magazine has some really great recipes that are high in protein and usually all around or under 300 calories per serving. Everything I have found in there is so good. And I am not a body builder, nor do I want to be, but there are some good tips in there as well.

My lunch today was a salad and soup combo that ended up at 620 calories- double what I usually eat, but less food. So I was super hungry. Try to find healthier foods that are…

  • You sound a bit like me. I haven't really lost weight on the scale, but my body has changed a LOT. Every time I go shopping to get better fitting clothes, I have this incredible anxiety. I now judge shopping success not by a purchase but if I managed to not HATE one thing I tried on. I look at myself and tear apart…

  • Jeff Galloway has a program where you run 3x a week, but he hasa day of walking to. (Run 30 min Tues and Thurs, walk Fri, use Sun as your mileage building). My Dad and sister and I are going to follow that and cross train on off days. Resting is key with training since running can be hard on your body. Your muscles need…
