Also, what the guy above says about fruit juice is true, yet he failed to mention that part of the reason for that is all of the ADDED sugar in them. He honestly seems a bit obsessive about carbs. Sure you need to cut back on carbs to lose weight, if you've been eating like the avaerage American previously. However, severe…

I've read quite a bit about sugar, and from what I've read I have come to understand that you should not worry too much about the sugar you are consuming from fruit or dairy. What you should be watching instead, is the added sugar consumed from mostly processed foods and drinks. Granted, if you are eating tons of fruit it…

Great job, I can't wait to have these kinds of victories.

The reason why you would eat back your exercise calories is because MFP is already calculating a deficit. I'll use myself as an example. I am guessing that before I started using MFP I was consuming 2000-2200 calories per day. According to my info, and wanting to lose one pound per week, MFP has told me to eat 1530…

I don't see how it is possible for you to be going over on your calories and still be in starvation mode. You should be eating the calories you gain from doing exercise. So lets say that MFP has told you to consume 1400 calories per day. If you don't exercise you should eat 1400 and you won't be in starvation mode. If you…

I started about a month and a half ago at around 200, I am hovering around 190 now. My goal weight is also 145, I think I'll look amazing at that weight. I am 5'7".

For the cardio workouts like bum bum and cardio axe, I log low impact aerobics. For the other resistance training type workouts, I log as moderate calisthenics.

I am almost finished with the second week of the program. I have been doing the Slim and Lift plan which is designed for people who are to big all over. The results are not as extreme as they would have you believe on the T.V., yet there are results. I can tell already that there is less cellulite in my butt and thighs.…

I just wanted to let you know that I read quite a few articles recently about sugar intake. Most of the articles say that the sugar consumed from fruits, veggis, and milk products can be ignored when figuring out you daily total. This is because they are naturally occurring sugars and much less harmful. That being said…

I've read a few different articles on sugar recently. Added sugar/processed sugars are very bad for and even cause obesity. What I've read suggests that you can disregard the sugars you are consuming from fruit and milk products since those occur naturally. Although you don't want to go crazy on the fruit either, it's…

Wow, it's amazing how much younger you look too! Congrats on making healthy changes in your life!
