I crave sugar so badly late at night. If I don't have exactly what I want to eat in my house, sometimes I will make a special trip to the store. That is my absolute worst habit. It's not even that I eat when I want to, it's that I will give in to my cravings by making a special trip just to satisfy it. I have no advice, I…

try changing the resistance, it might be on a high level and your muscles are getting tired by pushing against it. I think you should keep going at it and little by little you be able to stay on for longer and longer! Push yourself!

My calves are awesome! I may be overweight but it is around my midsection and thighs. I'll be the first to say that I love my calves.

the inner thigh muscle is called the adductor. use a hip adduction machine to work that muscle. It is a thing when you lift weights by squeezing your muscles together. If you run uphill or up stairs it would help tone your hips, but mostly your gluts. The chaffing (is on your skin, not muscle) is probably just from your…

If you have a set schedule at work, it might help to have a set schedule to work out. Say you go to work from 9am-5pm. You could work out at 7am, shower and go to work. If you think working out at the end of the day, work out at 7pm, whatever time works best for you. I hear it's best to work out in the morning to give you…

Resting heart rate actually lowers when you become more fit. It is actually healthy. I'm not sure about your exercising heart rate, but it might be that since your resting heart rate has slowed then it doesn't raise as much as it used to. Maybe you can't lose the weight because you are at the right weight for your body.…

Go to settings at the top of the page, then choose Diary Settings. At the bottom of the page there will be privacy settings. Make it public. This is so your food diary can be seen by everyone, not just yourself or your friends.

Just try to eat breakfast every day. It really starts up you metabolism. Then you will be hungry at lunch and then hungry at dinner and not starving in the evening.

Log what you eat before it even touches your lips! If you think about logging calories before every meal then you won't just eat and forget.

I think you would benefit from a psychiatrist or therapist. They are trained professionals and will give you better advice than your peers or church leaders. I was diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder when I was 15 and I went to my therapist for a few years. I really benefited from the tactics he gave me to deal…

If you are also eating throughout the day, a big meal will not make a huge difference. Eat a small breakfast, a big lunch, and a small dinner. I wouldn't recommend just eating one meal a day because your body will think it's starving and hang onto calories and fat. Be sure to eat within 45mins to 1 hour of waking up so…

I could use some motivation as well! Added you and Mendorica. There is another thread in Introduce Yourself you might check out. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/922801-female-with-100-lbs-to-lose-looking-for-friends

I don't understand why a cookie would cause guilt. You can diet while still having little snacks now and then. I even go out for fast food and stay under my calorie goal. Do some sit-ups, run in place, jog up and down the stairs. The cookie will come off.

I don't know why anyone would think that's crazy, I see it all the time. I like eggs, mushrooms, and peas on my salad. But when I don't have the ingredients, a nice caesar salad with Romaine lettuce will do.

I have no children, so I don't know exactly what you are going through. But I go on walks in my neighborhood whenever I can. In doing so, I see lots of women walking with their babies in strollers. It would be a good idea to include your baby in your exercise routine, especially when the weather warms up. You will both get…

This link has an explanation on why you shouldn't reduce your calories that much http://goaskalice.columbia.edu/how-many-calories-does-it-take-lose-one-pound You should try building muscle then your body will need more calories to function and you will lose more weight.

Be careful when not taking in enough calories. Our bodies will think we are starving itself and hold onto every calorie we've got. This article might help clarify a bit http://goaskalice.columbia.edu/how-many-calories-does-it-take-lose-one-pound Try exercising more often. Keep the heart rate up and your metabolism will…

I never thought of myself as an emotional eater until recently. I suffer from an anxiety disorder. I don't pig out when I get stressed but I always have a bag of candy in my room to munch on. That is probably the worst idea in the world. When food is right at your hands. It needs to be out of your reach or not exist in…

I'm not very educated in the exercises that might help you. But toning muscle involves more reps and building muscle involves increasing the weight you are lifting. (more muscle burns more cals) I do know that one pound of weight equals about 350 calories. To calculate how many cals your body needs to operate, use this…

I also wanted to mention that Target has a sale, $9 Workout DVDs, at least where I am. I would check those out. They are a fun, money-saving way to get some exercise and they are reasonable in timing, like a half hour to an hour. You can always pause them and come back too! My favorites are cardio, like dance or Tae Bo!

Good News: You don't always need to buy fresh fruits and veggies! Canned and frozen have just as many nutrients as the fresh stuff. Frozen is the best way to go in my opinion. They are picked at the peak of the season and flash frozen to keep them fresh. Just heat up the veggies, I love steamed vegetables, or let the fruit…

Definitely people are more confident, and it's easier to say what you want to over the internet. I am a natural flirt so with the added confidence I feel I more cheerful when I flirt so it probably comes out more serious than sarcastic

I've heard of people wearing their regular bras with a sports bra over it, you get the support and shape you need. I heard of this from my sister and it sounds like it would work

Once there lived a prince and a troll that liked pumpkins that were bumpy. They sold seeds to elves for pickles because their chickens couldn't have calories because they loved dynamite. The chickens decided to go overseas in a boat called the Titanic. The captain was not smart, he used Pancakes on his poopdeck with syrup.…

I started the pill when I was 16 and diagnosed with PCOS, since then I have lost about 10 pounds and hadn't been trying to lose weight at all. I don't necessarily think it's the pill that inhibits weight loss, I think it's the hormones from PCOS. I've only read about androgen levels of PCOS sufferers being higher. Androgen…
