Amazing!! you are awesome!! Just the encouragement I needed right now.

Will strengthening the chest muscles help?

2326 had to do a little more exercise. I actually did the best I have ever done on a holiday. My net is 1710, 100 under my goal!

Muscle gain only happens where it is needed. Doing normal calasthetics and cardio exercises will not cause you to gain the wrong kind of muscel. Just exercise, eat right, and watch your body move to its proper shapliness. Don't worry about un sightly muscle gain. It wont happen unless you lift heavy. Light strength…

It may depend on the urethra or other parts of the vulva. Some can, some can't?

I don't really track,sugar. I don't eat clean enough anyway. As long as calories burned is greater than calories eaten, I am happy. I do try to keep some balance in the macros, carbs, fat, and protein.

I think I vaguely understand your issue. Vigorous exercise introduces injury if you don't wear adequate support. You could have back issues also. You need to make sure you keep a strong core, and select a sports bra that supports well during high energy activities. Sorry, nude running is just not going to work, lol. You…

Continuing succes! Yay, You!!

I think this is going viral. Thank you for starting the post. Count me iI. I am turning 51 in June.

You are a winner! You are intentional and motivated. Score!!!

You can keep lots of your boob size by building your chest muscles. Fills in behind and pushes them out to appear bigger. Stay in the middle of your ideal wight range, or a few pounds below the top, and your healthy body fat will finish filling in your boob awesomeness. It will also maintain your fiminine softness while…

I agree with this. Start talking about his funeral arrangements. Well, I may be going a little too far, lol. He will eventually change his mind. Just be patient. You concentrate on sticking to your eating/fitness plan. You own it. You are in control.

Now that is the right way to say it. I still am obese. But I am working hard and making progress. I love watching others' progress. The photos help motivate me. They say to me, "You can do it!" And it is important to congratulate anyone who makes the smallest increments in progress sometimes. Working hard has its reward.

Can't get any better than that!

I am in. Winning the battle now.

Just stay on course. 1300-1700 calories per day should maintain moderate loss for most people. Eating less than 1200 will throw you into starvation mode and you will stop losing fat possibly start gaining.

"Do or Do Not, There is No Try" Yoda teaches Luke Goals must be measurable and attainable. I will, not I will try. If you are not sure you can do it, choose something you can do as an intermediate goal. Then do that which you can.

You are awesome.

Great eye opener. I was fat. I didn't feel handsome. Am still overweight, but doing something about it now. I do not want to forget the feelings and frustrations I faced because of my battle with obesity. Mostly, I want to be able to help others in the foray of the battle. Better health has many benefits. You choose... I…

Hi I am Jerry, I am 50 years old. I am trying to lose one and a half pounds a week. My intermediate goal is to get down to 185 lbs. Onece I reach that goal I am going to try to lose another 20 lbs to 165. The best way to eat an elephent is one bite at a time. Where are you from? originally Moultrie, GA, now live in Warner…

I try to limit junk, keep my proteins, fats, and carbs balanced. I set a weight loss goal and then eat the proper amount of calories to loose wieight at the desired level. It works for me. I try to include a lot of fiber in my diet also from food and supliments. I am going to further refine my food choices as I go for…

I had to reboot my program. I have lost 8 pounds.

You are "a rail." Keep doin what you do!! Definitely a deserved compliment.

To answer two related questions: MFP does not tell you to add calories because of exercise every time. Check my diary on the date of this post. Most of us burn about 2000 calories doing nothing. If we eat less than 2000 calories, subtracting calories for exercise, we create a deficit, which means we draw on the reserve,…

Being hungry and used all calorie allotment happens when we eat the wrong things. Sugar (even in some seemingly "healthy" foods), refined flower, " enriched" bread (means sugar is added = white bread, don't let them fool you with "white wheat"), and junk foods cause us to be hungry soon after eating them, even if our…

Did eating that much fruit allow you to still loose weight? The sugars in fruits are different from other sugars, but it is still sugar. Fruits are zero points, but I think the idea is to eat recommend amounts of fruits, not overindulging. You need some healthy sugars. Eating a balance is part of the total package in any…

The point is to burn calories, right? Most people get more banc for their buck doing cardio. Even hijgh MR circuit training is a cardio workout. The purpose of cardio is CR fitness.The more fit in the CR area a person is, the better able thy are to burn calories. If the heart isn't healthy you stand a chance of dieting…

I find that if I eat the right foods, my ratios usually end up close. It is when I eat too much junk that my numbers don't balance. So eat right and the only thing you have to balance is the calories. I watch both, but don't worry if the ratios awe slightly off. Then if I am eating way too much sugar, I just cut down on…

I have a friend who is successfurl with the 1200 baseline. 1400 colories should help most people loose. The more you exercise, the more the body requires. I am set at 1900 for gradual loss. I may jump down to 1700 to accelerate the loss. Some days my workouts demands 1600-1800 to keep from dropping below the starvation…

Make sure you are not under eating, which causes your body to go into a starvation mode. The body starts storing fat and you do not have the energy you need to work out. 30 mins on the elipticaol burns a lot of calories. To stay in burn mode you should eat at least 1200 calories. If you entered your data in the…
