When I took other quizzes that went on measurements before, I always got "apple" or "straight/ruler" or even "hourglass," but none of those ever quite fit! My bust and hip measurements have always been almost exactly the same number - BUT my waist isn't small enough for me to be an hourglass, which would make me seem like…

For my first 25 lbs I just stuck to the mfp calorie limit, and I made sure to get enough proteins and watch fats and sodium, but at a certain point that stopped working as well. Since then I've also been working out at least 3 times a week. (For now, two or three days are 30-45 mins on the elliptical and 30 minutes of…

I had this problem big time until I bought a new pair of shoes, and now I don't have the problem at all anymore. I invested in a pair of Nike New Balance. They are sturdy but very comfortable, and they are also great because they help stabilize my ankles (which is really great for exercises like lunges too).

Once you find your Wii, get Just Dance! I have all four and it is a great time and a great cardio workout! And my other absolute favorite is Biggest Loser Challenge, for a mix of strength and cardio. The Biggest Loser game is great because it allows you to set your goals and choose programs, and unlike some other workout…

I've been learning a little bit about what works and what doesn't for food when I'm busy. A new favorite quickie dinner is WalMart rotisserie chicken, actually - with a ton of veggies on the side (and I promise I keep an eye on my sodium). What DOESN'T work for me are 100 calorie anythings because they are small and never…

Hey guys, me too, me too! I feel so overwhelmed during the year and even when I've managed to lose 20+ lbs in the summer, it's all come right back during the year because of badly timed (and badly chosen) meals and a lack of sleep and exercise. I also managed to get myself a hip and lower back injury last year that keeps…

Any of you still here working toward your goals? Any success stories or before/afters? I'm a bit of a late-comer! But I just got my M.A. in German Lit and am now going for my PhD. Also currently an instructor. I hope to either teach language in the States or pick up an editing project in Germany. Anyway, I'm here because I…

I don't know what an mc is, but I've been held back by a hip and lower back problem on a number of occasions. You can still lose weight by just watching what you're eating very carefully. It just moves slower, and you're more likely to hit plateaus more often because you're not building muscle to raise your metabolism. I'd…

As another poster said, the calorie deficit on MFP has already been set where it should be for your diet - which means if you cut even more out by exercising and not eating it back, you're actually setting your calorie deficit much much higher. Starvation mode doesn't mean that you'll DIE RIGHT AWAY. What it does mean is…

Such a little amount to go over isn't such a big deal, but I do think it's important to pay attention to how much you're consuming anyway. According to CDC data the average American over the age of 2 takes in about 3500mg a day. I think it IS something to worry about in as much as the amount of sodium you've ingested in a…
