2 lbs a week is considered, generally, as the max healthy level of weight loss. However in the process of cutting out crap food, soda, etc you could lose 7-10 lbs in the first week depending on how your diet was before you started eating healthy. It's completely possible by eating well and exercising (even just walking for…

I agree. When I get something from somewhere and I have no idea I put what it was and pick the highest calorie thing that sounds as close as I can find. For instance when I go out to eat when we are entertaining someone at work I usually get the BLT on whole wheat... so I search BLT whole wheat bread and just take what I…

Well if you guys want to rail on her about her choice of words that fine but there is such a thing as fake food and there are numerous stories about it throughout the developing countries of the world. Look into Food Fraud which is one of the largest issues with food manufacturers. But what do I know I'm a food safety…

Amazing great job! You are certainly an inspiration for many people I'm sure!

She didn't approve of me laughing so much and being happy all the time.

I work in food manufacturing and there are a lot of variables that can work their way into this situation. Are labels 100% correct? Nope. Can that yogurt be packed at 110%? Yes. Would that add another 10% calories on top of the label claim? Yes. Why could it be 110%? I'm glad you asked. There are laws against under-packing…

Without more information all we can really do is encourage you. If you are lifting you can have periods where your muscle growth weighs more than the weight of fat you lost. If you are just eating less calories and not exercising then weight loss can be slower. If you are doing cardio you still can be gaining muscle but…

Man.. Poor Who's down in Whoville. Who would have thought that Mordor was so close. If the Grinch knew that he could have sold his soul to Sauron as well and taken care of those little punks.

Welcome to MFP :D First off congratulations on wanting help help yourself. You can never fix something if you aren't willing. Don't diet. I've tried dieting 100 times and while I can drop 25 lbs on a diet it never works in the end at afterwards I'm always at least 10 lbs heavier. Use this system to keep track of your…

I used to get comments on being fat more in the military when I was at the upper end of the allowed BMI chart. I just let it roll off my back. Some people are miserable losers and can only be happy picking on others. I can't think of the last time I heard anything relatively close to that type of garbage. Sorry people are…

If you have a smartphone tracking your food can be as easy as having the My Fitness Pal app. You can track on the website too but you can't scan bar codes with it. Any food that you eat out of a purchased package is the easiest. You can scan the barcode and put how much of it you ate (or drank). You can also make a recipe…

Well typically you should assess where you currently are. Figure out what your end goal is and how you want to get there. If applicable talk to your doctor about your health and what they suggest for a healthy plan for weight loss. You can talk to a dietician about how to take care of meals. My personal plan is extremely…

BTW as other people said you can NEVER have too many pics of your success! It shows an amazing accomplishment.
-
You look as amazing as your success story! Congratulations to you on your achievement! I'm restarting my effort from last year luckily I didn't gain all the weight back but NY winters are so blistery cold I didn't even go to the gym I had a membership to because it hurt to even breath outside at some points (-25 at times).…

I'm sure you could do it as long as you stick to it and as long as your weekly caloric intake doesn't reduce you to a level under your starvation mode... otherwise you would really be hurting yourself reducing your weekday intake. As long as your over your starvation mode level and you can do it then you'll be fine. Or you…

I used to wet it with a papertowel because I didn't know you could submerge it and couldn't get a connection. I bought my first one used with a new strap and thought it was broken. I saw on polar's website to actually wet the strap sensor area under a faucet... did that... worked like a charm. I'm sure different people…

Oh and you can get a men's or women's watch. My friend I spoke about before bought one of the women's watches just because that's the color scheme he liked... or it was the one available... I can't remember honestly. He specifically looked into that because he wasn't sure. Polar said that it doesn't matter what you buy and…

Not going to read through everything lol. I had an FT7 which was great but I quickly upgraded to the FT80 for added features. I now have mine synced to a footpod so that I can see my speed and distance on my watch. HRMs do show you how many calories you've burned and you can wear it all day if you'd like. You'd have to…

Definitely before and after. Not only that but I had shin splints for a while. I was going to a chiropractor at the time because of my lower back and she gave me a really good stretch for my shins. She explained that sometimes the muscle in the back of your leg, when tight, can pull on your leg wrong and hurt your shins.…

Partially my bad on that... apparently I was sleeping through the protein lessons in college Bio. (ok I wasn't sleeping but) Yes they have amino acids that are in proteins but they have other ones listed out on them. All I know is that someone told me about recovery shakes, I bought this one, and it worked like a dream.…

Oh and make sure you stretch properly before you exercise. It prepares your cardiovascular system for working out and it gets your heart pumping a little faster. Did I mention the recovery shake needs to have Amino Acids in them? Just making sure :)
