$10 /mth is a gym membership at planet fitness and like anything else if you don't use it then it won't work. I rather stick to the free version of MFP.

im 5'9 and when i was 137lbs i looked like the 15-17% range and i was a size 2-4, i don't want to be that again. Im back up to 160 and look like the 25-30% range but i would prefer the 20-22% i think for my frame that would be 145-150lbs.

nice to hear maybe ill look into it down the road, im happy with lo-loestrin fe for now

Im on lo-loestren fe, no weight issues, i just love food and i need to exercise more. In the beginning 3-6mths some spotting if you are not perfect with taking on time, and some acne when you get OFF it so i had to see a dermatologist. But I love love love no cramps, no period (after 3 mths it goes away), too many benefits…

i agree, they are all great motivators

Increased cost in some cases. We made zucchini spaghetti instead of using pasta and the zucchini was organic and 2.99 for 2, we used 8 zuccs which only ended up being two servings after cooking it so it cost = 8 zuccs X $2.99 = $23.92 just to substitute pasta which only cost 2 bucks for an 8 serving box. We decided not to…

MFP is suppose to be about support, I wish there was more of that on here. I love food and love to eat and I've been on a rollercoaster most of my life, the only time i lost a lot of weight (30lbs) was when I had a strict diet (I was a vegetarian for 5 yrs) and daily exercise (60-120min). But with life things change and…

No you're wrong. No i was not dehydrated and yes my body was in a state of "ketosis". I stated that muscle loss occurs in that state and I had also lost nutrients that had to be replenished via IV. It wasn't fun, and I'm sharing my personal experience, if you had a different one by all means share it, but you are not my…

When i was sick for a week and could not keep meals down only ate maybe 500 a day i ended up very weak. Went to hospital and when they tested me my body had gone into ketosis, they had to put an IV in me to give me the electrolytes and other nutrients I had lost. The R.N. told me ppl try to do this as a diet, it is not a…

with ex he pushed the issue and looking back I see it was a cover up for deeper issues... now I have a new boo (now married) only mentioned it while dating (as a way to make sure you are ready to be in a committed relationship, no judgement if you want to see others go ahead)- so no I would not bring an "open" arrangement…

congrats, I'm at 98! today

i was a vegetarian/vegan for almost 5 yrs...went back to eating meat

wow, you're ambitious! Im also 160 trying to get down to 150 in the next 4 weeks. You are right about no one ever regrets a workout, you only regret not working out. Nice mantra! good luck

exactly

love it so much I only buy one at a time o:)

I can relate the other week i went hiking at 6am so i was up since 5, and the rest of the day I could not stop eating. Then yesterday I went biking at 7am was up since 6am and ended up going over calories again and ended up sleeping for almost 12 hrs. I think being out of shape since Im in school at my desk 10-12 hrs I try…

i've yo-yo most of adult life and now i feel it in my joints. My goal is to lose body fat and gain muscle, strength, and energy for years to come.

when im using the gym machines when i put my hands on the heart rate sensor i usually burn 73 calories per 10 min with a heart rate around 155-160bpm which is 85% for my age range. I also can feel my heart beating really fast and im usually winded. So even when im home working out or biking, hiking i can tell by touching…

me too lost 11 with 14 more to go.

so true i read somewhere that a particular panera sandwich had just as much calories as a McDonalds Big Mac!!! :o so yeah i read calories on menu, but the rule of thumb i found is if it has cream, sauce, bread, mayo, or just too many ingredients skip it. Go lean meat, veggie/grain/lettuce or fruit. Keep it simple.

once a week, too much fluctuation on the daily weigh-in so i pushed it to weekly.

Dutchess County here! We have Bear Mountain, Mount Beacon and Breakneck ridge. I haven't had time to get out and hike yet, but what helped me find a group was to join www.meetup.com I found an upstate NY group for hiking, biking, walking...they have meetups almost every week if not biweekly, I can't wait to go later this…
