You should have movement in weight over 3 months. What do consider heavy lifting? Are you just lifting weights for 30 minutes (like 15-25 reps in sets of 4) or heavy lifting of maximum weight for 1-5 reps? Neither is wrong, I just want to understand what you are doing. I would look at dropping the calories a little (maybe…

To me this all sounds good. When you start exercising you want to consume some nice lean protein before and/or after. Eggs, chicken, or Protein shakes are great! Just don't hurt yourself lifting too much! Remember, it's ok to start with light weights at the gym, you don't need to lift 30lb dumbbells. Find the correct form…

Was just reading through this article. I have submitted a request to update/modify a small part of it (as the article is locked due to spam). Under Putative health effects it currently states: "A more recent study demonstrated that when mice were fed very high doses of raspberry ketone, up to 20 g/kg, 2% of body weight or…

Copy/Paste from my post on this thread in the other Topic: also includes info on Dr. Oz at the bottom. Just to provide some information and correct some misinformation. First and foremost - Weight Loss and Healthy Living is 85% Food and 15% Exercise. Your primary results will come from focusing on these first! Research any…

I know you asked for homemade salsa, just wanted to share in case you ever need to buy one at the store. I compared them, and found that Newman's Own - All Natural-Salsa- Chunky Mild salsa only has 65g of sodium per 2 Tbsp. I think it tastes just as good as the Pace Picante/salsa I would normally buy.

Give yourself 1 week and weigh again. I gained 4 lbs last week for no apparent reason - no changes in food, sodium, carbs, exercise, and I drink a gallon of water a day - couldn't be explained. This week I'm down 5+ lbs. You may have to accept it, take it and set it aside, breathe, learn from it and move on. And I KNOW it…

This sounds exactly like the thread that got locked yesterday. MFP considers a 500 calorie diet to be waaaaay to little and very unhealthy and will not allow the promotion of it in the forums - just letting you know!

At least 1 week, my trainer prefers every 3 weeks, she thinks the psychology of seeing a larger number helps. But if you're just starting or having trouble with a plateau, you may try once a week to make sure you are on track. Don't weight yourself daily, there is waaay too much fluctuation on a day-by-day basis (2-8 lbs).…

Agreed, maybe 85% nutrition / 15% exercise. I think you have the exact right attitude by sticking with diet and exercise and adding a supplement as an addition without depending on it. Are you saying that I won't have 6 pack abs by taking Hydroxicut for a month???! That's crazy talk! :noway:

I'm getting tired of seeing the above type of post in threads too. If someone searches on MFP for Raspberry Ketones 80% of what you find is peoples opinion/hate of Dr. Oz. That has nothing to do with the product. Raspberry Ketones have been around before Dr. Oz. At least I posted more factual information with related…

I just realized I can right click > view image to see the whole thing :embarassed: What an awesome job you are doing, it's incredible how much change you've made!!!! You should be very proud, it's like another person!!!! Very impressed and inspired!!

Just to provide some information and correct some misinformation. First and foremost - Weight Loss and Healthy Living is 80% Food and 20% Exercise. Your primary results will come from focusing on these first! Research any product before you purchase, let alone ingest! For ANY supplement: Always, never expect a “miracle in…

Yeah, I search for 'Strength Training' under Cardio and add that

I have enhanced my idea for the Pop Tart Cream Sandwich... At first I thought, use Pop Tarts as Pie crust! Then I thought - Cake in the middle! But the answer was obvious! Ice Cream Cake in the middle of the Pop Tart!!! Pop Tart Ice Cream CAKE Sandwich!!! You are welcome!

did you just call us fat and ugly???! :grumble: sorry, I'll stop screwing around... :tongue:

Are you calling where I'm from "quaint"??? Rudeness. :flowerforyou:

Soooo if for the 2 people that felt this post was rude; she didn't mention anyones names and yet you felt that it applied to YOU? Does that mean you actually feel like what you've been saying was rude or people would take it as being rude? Because I didn't feel it applied to me... :laugh:

Thanks the one I just bought stopped working, and I need one that goes over 400 (for now :wink: )

Also, if you are really intending to purchase it, here are some suggestions: • Look for either Svetol® or GCA (Green Coffee Antioxidant). • At Least 45% Chlorogenic Acid. • 400mg capsules, 3 times per day, 30 minutes before meals. • Watch out for fillers and flow agents (anti-caking type additives) like Magnesium Stearate,…

Uh Oh! you mentioned Dr. Oz now half the people will immediately go on a rant about how evil he is - they don't care if he told you to exercise and cut calories - they don't want to hear his name. Dr. Oz does not promote any specific products and does not make money from selling products - he makes money from advertising…

WOW!!!! You are looking awesome!!! I love seeing progress pics and stories, always keeps me inspired! Thank you for sharing your progress! Goes to show inches vs weight, keep up with your exercising, it only makes us feel better!

BADAM! That is how it is done!! You look wonderful and what a great mentality you have gained!!! Thanks for inspiring!! Best Wishes!

^This, you sicko op!

People will likely ask that you open your Food Diary to see what you are eating. I have the same problem, except I've only lost 36lbs after gaining 4 lbs last week for no apparent reason! I've been working out for 8 months with a personal trainer and am trying to lose 200lbs. I should be dropping weight like crazy too, and…

what about a 2 Pop Tarts with Ice Cream in the middle?? A Pop Tart Cream Sandwich???!!!! OMG mind blown! :bigsmile:

How about if you've seen a thread for the 5000th time you don't post in it? Somehow, some people feel that they have to post rude comments just because they personally have seen the question asked over and over. You see the thread title, so why are you bothering to post a reply? Let others who are not sick and tired of…

Oooohhh I think I remember someone at work with a loud one, that's a good idea, thank you! I wouldn't have thought of that, gonna see what I can find

I was impressed half way down, then at the end you are actually looking real good, lean and building muscle. Great Great Job!!! I can't wait to be where you are, heck even where you started!

Finding the right medication made all the difference for me. Then realize that all the crap food is only a temporary taste of happiness that only leads to more depression (you crash, you feel bloated, you gain even more weight, etc.) It truly is a viscous cycle. Eating healthy foods actually helps to change your mental…

I thought it was helpful, hopefully others will too. :smile:
