I feel so warm and fuzzy all of a sudden. Way to put things in perspective! Keep up the fight! I have learned a lot from mfp and my mfp buddies, and it was all FREE!

So agree with the pleated khakis comment. Even without the sneaks, they aren't attractive. A Doc where I work wore this the other day...I was snickering as he delivered the diagnosis...I'm so professional:)

Mom jeans! I don't like sneakers with street clothes, only with workout attire!

Does your hotel have a gym? I just got back from a trip, and everyday I would get up before the family, go to the gym and sweat for an hour get coffee, then back to the room before breakfast. I had so much energy, and that hour was nice me time before the crazy day started. Personally, I would just pick a standard number…

Oh Come on guys! I'm gonna dive into the candy bowl in about 2 seconds. Somebody pass the Reeses pb cups!

I would say that you are already very slim at that height and weight. I am also in my 40's. I lost 25 lbs (165 to 140). Despite continued efforts, I have not been able to go below 140. I think that our bodies are telling us something. Especially since we have built lots of nice muscle with dedicated excercise, I think our…

My analog (old dial type) scale weighted me 5 lbs less than my new digital scale (bummer). My digital scale and my doctors scale say the same thing, so I trust the digital. I have read this story many times on these boards. Go with the one you think is more accurate and forget the other one. Bummer if you need to up your…

I have two Lululemon bras that I love also. I little pricey, but worth it.

It sounds like you are super busy! If time is an issue, there are tons of excercise videos "on demand" on cable. I did a great cardio/ab workout yesterday that only took about 25 minutes. Lots of workout videos now incorporate both cardio and strength training in a relatively short period of time. Very efficient for the…

In yoga, it helps to focus on your breath. It helps to bring your mind into that very quiet focused state. I never paid much attention to whether I was inhaling or exhaling. Just try to stay smooth and fluid. Try to be aware of breath holding. You will feel better and more energetic if you keep breathing

Totally relate! I'm a size 8, and the other day I bought a t-shirt at aeropostale...size XL! I had to laugh! Some things never change. The fact that you shopped in VS is awesome...screw the sizing!

The key to this whole thing is moderation. You are not eating enough cals which is probably driving your preoccupation with food. It's a hard cocept to accept, but to lose weight permanently AND be healthy we need to eat and not be hungry. I also felt preoccupied with weight loss and counting cals and analyzing food, but…

Love this approach!

Why do we do that!? One of the most difficult things about changing is realizing that this is a long term plan. Why do we want to punish ourselves for such benign sins and throw the baby out with the bath water? I struggle with this all the time, but I think I am getting better. At least I recognize when I am doing it now.…

I have always wanted to be a runner. I have tried many times, but I find it painful. It has been somewhat demoralizing, but the elliptical is my answer to running. It is so smooth and gentle. I kick some serious a** on the elliptical. As long as I've got my tunes I'm good to go. There is no way you will become fat with…

Bump! Love this idea!

Look into kettlebell routines. I do one at home that is free "on demand" through comcast. Kettle bells are like doing strength training and cardio at the same time. There are so many things to do with the kettlebell. It keeps things interesting. I also like lifting the kettlebell more than I do the dumbbells. It seems more…

I love my kettlebells. They are very versatile. So many different things that you can do with them. I think they have made a difference In my fitness level. I also do Jillian michaels shred it with weights, but am interested in trying other workouts. I would highly recommend them. Form is very important when younare…

I also love Propel. Most of my water intake is with Propel. I don't like the taste of water. I wish that were not the case.
-
I use my hrm numbers, and they are lower than mfp numbers by about 25%. I have increased the workout time so that I'm burning what mfp said I was burning before I had the hrm. I find it more difficult to cut the intake cals. Good luck!
-
Congrats on your loss! That is fantastic!
-
Bump
-
MFP, clean eating, strength training, cardio, cute clothes
-
All you have to do is change the cals burned for whatever excercise you do. For example, if you choose elliptical, mfp gives you 400 cals, erase the 400 cals and enter your hrm value...easy.
-
I prefer to call it maintanance. Without the occasional treat, I would never last at this!
-
Maybe elliptical?
-
Love that you did it together. Congrats cute healthy couple:)
-
Oh boy! I so hope this is the start of a trend for you. Talk about motivation to continue! Good luck!
-
There is a strength training category under the cardio menu, but I find it to be inaccurate. My HRM tells the story:) welcome to mfp!

2 scrambled eggs with cheese, fresh jalapeño salsa, and an ounce or two of leftover filet mignon. Lots of protein and so scrumptious! Ooops, forgot to mention the gallon of coffee...that will never change:)
