Excellent, wonderful changes. Well done!

Hi and good luck! I sent you a friend invite. My suggestion is to make this change slowly. First, get used to logging everything. Then, as you see what you are eating and how many calories are in some things, start cutting them out/replacing with lower calorie and healthier alternatives. Just make one change per week and…

Good luck, I sent you a friend invite!

I still play wow and do exactly what Sidesteal recommends. My original main is a feral druid and my current is a death knight. I actually have my strafe keys set to C and V, and almost every other button on three of the action bars is tied to a keyboard key. I use the mouse to move. One bar is for thing such as rez, trade…

Hi and welcome! I found that my best results came from being exact in my diet (weigh, measure, log everything) and no cheating. Add to that some form of exercise every day. Running works best for me to burn fat, lifting weights with it helps me keep my muscles and lose mostly just fat. So, eat at a deficit (for sure) and…

Locking the thread. I'm not defending anyone, what a stunning generalization. Everyone is free to express an opinion, but leave personal attacks out of it and please, it's unnecessary to repeatedly create new threads to spread your personal opinion. Thanks. Stormie MFP Forum Moderator.

Just log everything you eat. You'll quickly find that some things aren't worth the momentary pleasure of consuming them (cuz that's all you'll get, lol). As you experiment and learn how many calories are in things, you'll find what works to fit your calorie needs. /peanut Probably nuts help one feel satisfied and less…

I'd like to get rid of stretch marks/tummy sags so I could get my belly button pierced. :sad:

Feel free to add me :) I'd add all of you, but I'm limited to 10 per 10 minutes, lol. One of my goals for 2012 is to log on every day and check in with my friends, so I'll be here if you are!

Eeks, this is why I don't buy presents for anyone outside of my immediate family (except the adopt-a-family, but that's anonymous). I'd probably be the one people posted about, saying...she got me the ugliest thing or the cheapest thing! :tongue: All of my children are taught to earn money and buy or make everyone else in…

I suggest you pick one or the other to focus on. If you want to lose weight, keep working out but eat at a deficit. If you want to gain muscle, keep working out, but eat at a slight excess and get adequate protein.

It's not always as easy as just "leave". Unfortunately, I have first hand knowledge of why. I sent the OP a PM with some resources.

Holy crap. This isn't a spa site? For real? **wanders away mumbling about how some things suddenly make sense**

5-7 pounds. Part of it was sweets and part was because I quit running. I haven't run in 2 months, first due to a cold and recently just due to being lazy. I didn't worry about or log what I ate, I ate what I wanted, when I wanted, including a lot of restaurant food (ouch on the calories). But, back to it on the 1st. I'm…

Friend invite sent :flowerforyou:

Why don't you start a group? And feel free to add me as a friend. I'm 51, lost 15 lbs in 2010, 28 in 2011, and have 15 more to go in 2012. (yes, I really am doing this the slowwwwww way, lol).

Invite sent :flowerforyou:

Feel free to add me. I've been here a long time and am very happy to help those just beginning :)

Everything. Lord have mercy, my waistband is tight. Thank FSM the holidays are almost over.

Bumps. ^-^ :devil:

I was just talking to my husband about this (he struggles a LOT with weight issues). I believe that the only way to effectively change our weight and life is to make exercise/diet as much a part of our routine as going to work, taking a shower, and sleeping. Don't tell yourself that you'll run a few times next weight and…

Yup, can you send that guy over to my house at 5:30 am a few days a week? Please? Thanks.

Kindle touch, kindle cover, pocketknife, work shoes, slippers and the game, Minecraft. The Kindle is a surprise, he just had his stolen 2 weeks ago, so I replaced it. Been together 9 years.

Only if you survive!! :wink:

I wear a Fitbit and track every day's calories. I do not log cleaning or my normal, weekly shopping trips. However, I took a vacation day last Friday and spent more than 6 hours walking the mall. According to my Fibit, I walked 5 miles during that time and burned 450 calories. I logged 2 hours. My daily calories were much…

I've been at this a long time. I quit smoking, lost 15 pounds and plateaued. Finally, this year, I lost nearly 30 pounds and have kept it off. I only have 10-15 pounds to go and am sort of taking a break from the push towards my goal.. Since Oct 1, I've been eating at maintenance calories and exercising only sporadically.…
