My recommendation: don't ask MFP message boards!!! Try to find a better more professional space to ask this question.

You're not going to get 'bulky' from just adding light weights, that is a complete myth. In fact, it is almost the number 1 myth in every single article I could find on women and weight-lifting. https://www.nerdfitness.com/blog/2013/09/11/7-strength-training-myths-every-woman-should-know/…

Your exercise calories could be off too. I NEVER lose if I eat them all back...i usually eat back 20% because of how notoriously awful MFP is, and because then I give myself a buffer zone. Also, if you don't have your activity level set to "sedentary" then you shouldn't eat back your steps at all. I wouldn't do that…

Iraq was not a mistake, it was a well-planned strategy for making sure the US kept control over oil-rich countries. I heard Rumsfeld HATES BACON!!!

Do you have a running shoe store near you? (preferably not a big giant shoe chain...a smaller place that actually has well-trained, knowledgeable staff). If so, go in and get them to do a fitting on you. They will have you walk barefoot and see how your foot falls, and do the best they can to give you a shoe that can…

why don't you ask your physio? i wouldn't take forum advice on something that serious...

If you want me to be that kind of person, and you can be honest when you log, i will be that kind of person...in the friendliest of ways :) i am not a mom, but i did lose 125 lbs, and i'm toning up for my wedding in august. Friend me, if you'd like!

I'm sorry to hear about your father :( Caring for someone is so, so much work and you are a wonderful person for having done that with your life. It sounds simpler than it is, actually. But yes! Creating a daily/weekly calorie deficit is all you need to do. What will take time is building new habits and relationships to…

Second this! Find the Fitness Blender youtube channel. They have EXCELLENT videos. Very accessible. Just have a good work-out mat, and you don't need any other equipment for about half of their videos. If you get a pair of weights you can do another bunch of their videos.

of course, if you like! i personally avoid them, and go for things like cauliflower-fennel soup instead of potato-leek soup, or baked squash (half the calories per weight, and i love the flavors of different squashes). but that's just because i like to stuff myself and go for lower calories per volume of food.

if you want bacon with less fat, get canadian bacon or turkey bacon. otherwise you're wasting the most delicious bit!

clothing!

That's totally on point. It's not about the hair-splitting argumentative posturing of definitions of food and nutrition. It is about what is appropriate, helpful, generative. Hear, hear, @Deadlift5

clearly you never were the kind of fatty mcfatfat who actually ATE SPOONFULS OF TABLE SUGAR ONE AFTER THE OTHER. Yes. 17-year-old-me championed this one. [edited by MFP Moderator]

Yes...congrats on figuring that out! You're a real sleuth. I chatted w/ the instructor afterwards who teaches her regularly, and that was her guess as well as someone who knows her better. *shrug*

???? wouldn't "accident" refer to someone accidentally pissing their pants on the bus in this context? not a car accident?

I am so into it with you! Feel free to add me. I have lost 125 lbs in the last 8 years, no just trying to drop another 10 by my august wedding. I comment a lot!

i agree with all three posts above

you can add me!

saw a girl pass out at 10am spinning class 2 weeks ago, likely because she didn't eat beforehand.

Cereal always always always leaves me hungry. Can you bring your own breakfast?

I hate swimming, as does my skin. I'm a land-baby.

:lol: :lol: My face. I have been told I look like the girl from Flashdance and the L Word, Jennifer Beals, approximately 1,563 times. After losing 125 lbs, I was glad to see there was a high-cheekboned beautiful face under there...even if I got left with some tiger stripes!!!

Exactly my question! You took the words out of my mouth :lol:

Aaaah, the complex neuro-biology of food reward!!! http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2892765/ This is a review article on the concept that artificial sweeteners are correlated with weight gain. PLEASE NOTE: it's not a direct causal pathway at all. BUT...human brains are complicated. In a regular social setting…

I am 5'10" My highest weight was 285-ish I am now 166. I lost lots of the weight about 8 years ago and got down to 170 without any calorie counting or plan, just a general life change. I met healthy people, moved out of my mom's house (she hoards food and eats too much), and learned new ways of being in the world. I…

How do you know you're not eating more than expected? You can sit and get fat on "health food," you know?

I prefer messaging, myself. I trust this young woman to make her own decisions about messaging someone or not. Don't you?

I second this question
