Fruits and veggies are the keys to loosing weight. I don't think it will hurt for you not to log them, but you are only hiding it from yourself. If that works for you then do it. It's the bad stuff that causes you to gain or keep weight on. Just keep the rest of your diet clean, lean meats, grilled & saute'd, stay away…

Good advise. Thanks.

Found it. Thanks. I will be working towards the toning. I have never been a weight lifter, that is my husband's thing, but I will do some research to find some toning exercises that are comparable. I thought about buying one of those exercise balls to help cushion some of those moves that I can not do. Thanks so much for…

I don't know how to do this>>>set your macro's to 35% carbs, 40% protein and 25% fats<<< Can you tell me?

4 pages back, you may not even see this, but... I have found, through MFP and my own family, that it is a fine line between complementing someone for what they have accomplished or discouraging them or making them mad. Maybe they mean it but they have exagerated to try to make you feel good and not discourage you by saying…

So, what should I do to get rid of my love handles? Please keep in mind that I have issues with my hips and thus some movements are difficult for me. (Like dancing, vacuming, or sex :blushing: can cause a flare up, repetative rocking motion. I do them, but with caution)

You have done an amazing thing! You look great! A positive attitude is everything! Stop calling yourself fat! You are NOT! When my first child was born my father told me to never call him a bad child, even if he did something bad, I should never call him bad because your words have power and he would live up to what I said…

Congratulations! Remember, what you eat is as important as how much you eat. Lots of veggies make a huge difference!.

I know how you feel! I was 5'10" in my younger days, (have lost 2in since then) but I had the same problem. All the guys that were worth spending my time on were shorter than me, or just barely as tall. My best friend is 5'11" and her husband is shorter than me. Guess you just have to love them no matter how tall they are.…

I agree! When I was single, 23 years ago, I dated a lot of guys, good looking and not, but the personalities ran me off. I was fotunate to find a good looking man with a great personality. Now, 23 years later, the looks are still there, but not as amazingly as when we were 25, but the personality lives on. His laugh is the…

I believe a child rises to his name. I named each of my sons by the meaning of their names, and each has lived up to them. Example: Named my second son Justin Ray, which means "A Just Wise Protector"... And he definately is. He now has a wife & 4 children and he is the most wonder husband and father in the world! Takes…

Check your messages sweetie.

Hey hun. You know that I am always on your side. I'm sure whatever you do will be the right thing. Don't feel bad over it, just do what you have to do for you. Take care of #1. Kids are resilient, take it from a mother of 4 and grandmother of 6, they will be fine.

I used this calculator, http://walking.about.com/library/cal/uccalc1.htm, to see how it compared to MFP and it was within 2 calories for my walk tonight.

I've been wondering about this too, so... Found this on the subject; http://walking.about.com/cs/measure/bb/bybpedometer.htm

Sounds like a plan.

Hey hun. I was asking this for my DIL because she had 4 babies in 5 yrs and has loose skin on tummy. Response that made since included a web site, http://getfitguy.quickanddirtytips.com/how-to-tighten-loose-skin-after-weight-loss.aspx , but it can take up to 2 yrs, and use vitamin creams. No quick fixes. Sorry.

http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/core_march_8.htm Take a look at this article that was passed on to me in a post. It may help.

I would pay off my mother's bills.

This is a great article! I am passing it on to my daughter-in-law who has had 4 babies in 5 years and her tummy is so streached out of shape that we all thought her only option was surgery.

To everyone, thanks for all your responses. I only posted this because I was curious as to why my body works this way, NOT that I wanted help to fix it. I am loosing weight and I take my daily regiment of vitamins and I am not starving, actually get quite full when I eat, so all is well. I did get some good responses that…

Sorry to disappoint you, a bit frustrated when people try to push me into something that I know i can not do, so, as I said before, I will continue walking. As for the glands, I had 2 unidentified growths in my neck that almost choked me to death in a month's time, they thought I had cancer, but could not determine the…

Thank you! I truely appreciate responses like yours. I do take my daily regiment of vitamins and minerals, which seem to sustain my energy and I am in good health despite the achy breakys (LOL) and the heart murmur. I have an adopted daughter who is a cardiac nurse, so she makes sure I take care of my heart. Again, Thank…

I have closed my diary to prevent further criticism. Thanks to all that truely tried to help. I have some ideas now.

I listened to my sons tell me the same things you have just said years. When I let it get to me and did what they insisted I had to do I became immobile. It's not just that my hips were damaged, it caused the bones to deteriorate and to get arthritis in the joints. All the muscle in the world is not going to fix this. I…

If I have to make a choice between working out and being able to walk, I choose walking. My oldest son is 33 yrs old, so I am no stranger to what happens to me when I do more than normal daily activities. I have had times when I have sat on the floor and played with my grandchildren, only to have to be lifted off the floor…

Any time I eat breakfast I gain weight. I know the norm, but I obviously am not normal. Going to do what works for me, but I am concerned that I NEVER loose weight when I eat over 800 calories a day. I do take lots of vitamins and minerals to make sure I have the nutrition that I am missing by not eating as much.
