The chart is excellent, thank you for putting it all together for us.

Great tips Cory, thank you for sharing. By the way, I just posted to my MFP blog about the challenge and our team, which of course broadcasts to Facebook and Twitter, but I wanted to challenge all of the team to help spread the word. This challenge is not just great for us each individually, but of course for those who…

Yep, that worked. But correction <grin> We're now # 16 with a total pledge of 1075 lbs amongst our 32 members!

http://getfitguy.quickanddirtytips.com/how-to-tighten-loose-skin-after-weight-loss.aspx - great article, thank you for sharing that. The flappy skin was something I was worried about, but when I originally dropped over 50 pounds it did (slowly) get in place on its own. Good to know about the 1 year rule before thinking…

My wife and daughter really have fun doing the Zumba on the WII. I have done it a couple of times and it definitely can kick your heart rate into hyperdrive lol and get the sweat going. We now have the Kinect on the xbox 360 and the game that comes with it, Kinect Adventures has some serious 'get you going' moves too, at…

The 'Englischer Garten' in Munich is a great place for a stroll during lunch. Even if it's not a 'work-out' that's going to get you breaking into a heavy sweat, getting out and moving is a great idea and since the park is so big, you can change the areas/path you take so it doesn't get boring. You could even take that time…

Sounds like a great plan. Doing something, no matter how little or small it may seem, always outdoes doing nothing at all. I took a look at that plan you mentioned and it's got some really good pointers too. Thank you for sharing.

These are awesome :) Thank you for sharing, it's a great resource for a weekly tip. Personally, my favorites are #40, 51 and 52. They really struck a chord with me. Keep em coming, Xavier

Good morning everyone. You're right, it is quiet in here lately, lol, so maybe I can help get the week started with my update. Excited - had a fun weekend out and about with my wife, did quite a lot of walking and today I saw my BMI has now dropped from the obese side down to the overweight side. Of course not where I want…

I have noticed using a bottle does make it easier for me too, especially since I am already struggling just intaking enough liquid itself every day, let alone enough water. I just don't drink a lot of fluids at all. Using the bottles does seem to make it easier, guess it's the mental thing. Ray: good point about the urine.…

Welcome to MFP, I just joined a couple of month's ago and am becoming more active in the site because there's not just a ton of support but also great 'accountability partners' here too. Feel free to add me and all the best on your journey. Xavier

Lol, I am in a similar boat, going to have to think about this since mine are all health/weight/nutrition related too right now. Plateauing a bit this month so far, noticed my water intake dropping too, so need to get things back on track. Drinking enough water has always been a major challenge for me, but I am going to…

Great idea Shanally, I will take that challenge :) I think it will definitely help me get on track in the right direction. Thanks, Xavier

There are some awesome ideas, I am going to have to try a few. Personally, I like Cottage Cheese with some Sea Salt or on toast with Jelly. Xavier

Great info. I had heard about the 'drink half your weight in ounces' too, but I also heard something about drinking the # of pounds you want to lose in ounces, not sure which one is right. I have to admit however that I struggle to get to 8 glasses a day, I need to work on that. Xavier

"I'll just focus on the positive, like the fact that I slammed out more push-ups this week than last week" That's the way to do it :) My wife has been interested in getting the Zumba DVD's, will have to take a look online to see where I can get them a bit cheaper. I think I too would have to have a couple of beers before I…

Courtney, you're right, P90X is very tough at the start, it's also tough in the middle and at the end :) There's a guy in my office who is a gym rat and very fit and he struggled on day 1. One of the lessons I had to learn personally is to allow myself to not be perfect and to forgive myself and just keep pushing. Hang in…

Personally, I am going with the 'mug' version of the same thing. Safer that way and avoiding the toxic issue. Just my 2 cents :)

I just joined mid october and mistakenly (as I learned today) was focusing so much on the calorie intake that I was extremely excited that I had days with 1300 or even 1400 calories remaining, but when I started losing energy this week and feeling weaker, a friend took a look at my diary and set me straight. When I was…

I am also a type 2 diabetic and wound up seeing a nutritionist who taught me about the carb counts, but quite honestly after a while I have to admit I wasn't watching it closely anymore. MFP is really helping me with that again and aside from Calories (since that's required on the tracker), the second thing I watch is the…

My better half told me about this as an alternative for being on the run as much as I am, going to definitely try it, but also checking out the 'mug' version and some of the alternate recipe ideas for it. Thanks for sharing :) Xavier
