  • I had the same problem when I first started eating right. I went from 5,000-6,000 calories a day to about 1,500. My bowels just kind of shut down. First, your body will get used to the change and you will eventually become more regular. Second, three words: fiber, fiber, fiber! I assumed that I was getting enough fiber…

  • Hey, Future, welcome. You already made the first, and most important step. You have decided to do something to improve your health and your life. That is actually the most important step, in my opinion. Second, you found a good calorie counting/food diary/exercise log website (MFP), which means that you are serious about…
    in Hello to my new fitness pals Comment by ledward June 2009
  • That is so awesome that you mentioned this. I have been struggling the last few days because I am not improving as much as I "expect" myself to. I was beating myself up and getting depressed over it until yesterday when I stopped to actually look at how far I have come. When I first started trying to get in shape, I could…

  • Why are you scared? If you were NOT doing anything to try to lose weight and you dropped that much, then I would be scared. Otherwise, sounds like you're doing a great job! I did the Biggest Loser website diet and have lost 45 pounds in under 3 months. The plan is awesome! Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Free Calorie Counter

  • At least 25 grams per day for an adult is recommended. Some days I will eat 40-50. Just make sure you break yourself in gradually or you will be spending a lot of time in the bathroom! Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Easy Calorie Counting
    in How many grams of fiber Comment by ledward May 2009
  • It's a really good workout. Beware that you spend pretty much the whole workout in the lunge position, so if you don't like lunges, you might want to pass on this one. Hand weights are recommended, but not required.

  • You might also want to try the "Fiber One" brand of pancakes if you are a fan of pancakes. At only 180 calories and 5 fiber per serving, these guys will keep you full for quite a while. Best part, they taste GREAT :happy: Your husband might even like them. Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Free Calorie Counter
    in week 2 of training Comment by ledward April 2009
  • Yeah, I think that you will really love it, it is a great workout that requires little equipment. I do mine in my living room with a step up bench and a pair of dumbbells. As far as the part where you said you "underestimated your abilities", I say, "Wow, that's great!" Maya just about killed me in the first three days!! I…

  • Sounds good. I'll try it. By the way, I know what you're saying about how working the whole body is a good thing. I'm a firm believer in the whole circuit training/intervals thing. It's just that sometimes, especially when I have already done weight training at the gym that day, I just wanna pound out some straight cardio…

  • Anyone use this Wii game ("My Fitness Coach") for cardio? If so, have you figured out a way to make the workouts really focus more on cardio? Even when you make cardio your "focus", it seems you still spend about a third of your workout doing "leg extensions", "plie squats", and "hip abductions." I understand that strength…
