Totally agree!!! Not to mention the potential for injury when beginners with little experience might not lift properly.

I would like to get to the "healthy" range of 25. Once there I wouldn't mind get a few more pounds down to have some cushion for fluctuation in weight.

I would like to say I am going to get my apartment cleaned and the dishes done. But a more realistic statement would be I am going to shift around some of the clutter and maybe take the garbage out. I also have a book report due for a class I am taking. That I will probably get done becasue it will be my excuse for not…

I too am attracted to a more "chubby" type of guy. That being said.....I would never disagree with what a doctor says, especially when there are health issues to consider. What does your doctor say is a good weight for you? If he agrees with 190 then I say go for it and tell your girlfriend to deal with it.

100 calorie popcorn is my usual go to in the evening. Sometimes I do a cheese stick. If I have a lot of calories left I do pretzel crisps and a laughing cow cheese wedge.

A calorie is a calorie. And, they add up. I would count them.

When your friend who has always been overweight is now skinnier than you.

Go Google "10 minute walks". It brings up numerous websites that tout that any kind of exercise is good for you. Your doctor is wrong that it is doing you no good. Is he right that 30 minutes would be better? Probably. But you have to start somewhere!!! Maybe once you get in a routine you could start taking the long way…

With student teaching, your lunch break is going to be pretty short so you want to keep that in mind with what you pack. Also, with you eating so early you may want to have something with protein in it to keep you full til school is out. I take salad a lot because it is ready to eat immediately. I cut up cooked chicken to…

Funny

Cadburry Easter Eggs - and they are already out in the stores......

I shoot for 30-45 minutes in the morning 5-6 days a week. But if the weather is nice and I am not exhuaseted I will do a short leisurely walk in the evening too.

Fruit roll ups

Woot woot!!! Good for you!!!

What kind of time frame are you talking? If it has been less than a month I agree with the others. If it has been more than a month I would think you would have seen some kind of change by now.

Agree. As long as you know in advance, you can plan accordingly.

Ask your eye doctor. If he says okay, then I say go for it.

Snort.... too funny. I am thinking you would have to do a whole lot of push ups to get the front to look like Carly.

Schwan's Sesame Chicken Dinner - too tired to cook....

What have you set as your goal to lose every week? Example - a two pound per week goal would be four pounds. While four pounds in two weeks is a comendable loss, you might not actually see the difference in the mirror. Sometimes it takes a few more pounds before you can actually "see" the difference. If your clothes are…

I usually try to do meals that are around 300 calories so that I can have a couple of snacks during the day... Warning - if you are watching your sodium, my ideas aren't that great. For breakfast I make my own egg mcmuffin - Viliage Hearth light english muffin, 1 slice Oscar Mayer canadian bacon, 1 wedge Laughing Cow light…

Thanks for posting - they sound really good!!!

Okay.... sorry... but I am still stuck on "changed her matron of honor dress". Really? I think that would have been the end of my friendship right there.

I hate to admit it, but my reward for every 20 pounds I lose is Ben & Jerry's ice cream.

Go to your settings and change your goal to maintain your weight instead of lose weight. It should set your calories accordingly

I got a sapphire birthstone ring one year for my birthday from my (now ex) boyfriend. The problem you ask? Sapphire is September's birth stone. My birthday is in April. I found out later it was a ring he had orignally bought for a previous girlfriend and they broke up she gave it back to him.....not impressed.

Healthy Choice Homestyle Salisbury Steak - it has a dessert with it!!! Also, Schwan's LiveSmart Sesame Chicken Dinner.

Do you adjust the machines for weight and age and sex? If you don't they default in for a skinny 35 year old. I have found once I make sure to do that the calorie counts on MFP are pretty close.

Is the 1200 net calories including eating back your exercise calories? If you are are eating 1200 and then exercising 500 off you should be eating 1700 calories per day. If you aren't, you are only getting 700 net calories and your body will go into starvation mode.
