Don't remember where I heard this from but a few years ago somebody told me that too much protein makes you crave bad carbs. Don't even know if its true or not. Anyone????

When your 6 year old granddaughter asks, "Grandma why are you fat?" :embarassed:

Fabulous!!! I can't wait to post my before and after sometime next year!!! Awesome job!

What is PB2 ?

I agree...just be concerned with yourself. Its too stressful watching everyone else's habits. If the daily posting says "has finished loging their food, ect " then congratulate them or encourage them and move on. Why look at everyone's diary? Or maybe you just have the wrong friends as a previous poster has mentioned.…

8/06 Rest my muscles no cardio 8/07 2.0 miles (1 brisk & 1 moderate) 8/08 2.5 miles (1.5 brisk & 1 moderate) 8/09 No cardio 8/10 3.0 miles (1.5 brisk & 1.5 moderate) 8/11 No cardio 8/12 2.5 miles (1.5 brisk & 1 moderate) 10 miles completed! 30.5 to go!!!! :laugh:

This might sound crazy but I drink all natural cherry juice when my feet and ankle pain flares up from walking too far, it helps me. Just saying...

Alot of people have told me that it isn't necessary to eat the exercised calories back and I agree with them because I have tried and that day I did I felt extremely full and uncomfortable.

Thanks everyone! You all have been a great help. I'll try youtube first and then the Library. Awesome!!! :smile:

Sorry, but I disagree with you. I do pilates (I don't do the "100's" exercise though because physically I can't) but pilates strengthens and lengthens you causing you to be more slender and toned. If this is true please let me know where you found this information.

Happy Anniversary. Hope you have a good day together. :smile:

Been all of the above but I am currently single.

Sweet & Sour Chicken w/Fried Rice and a Spring Roll. Yum, yum!!!!:tongue:

Okay,glad to know I doing this right. I have mine set for losing 1 lb per week. I read several years ago that it's healthier to lose slowly because you have a better chance of keeping it off. Thanks for the information. :flowerforyou:

Hi Everyone! My name is Jeane and I am 51. I just joined MFP this last Tuesday. Thank God I found this posting because I was beginning to think everyone on her was in there 20's and 30's and already skinny. lol I will try to keep up with this forum topic as best I can.

I am just new to this site but I have heard numerous people tell me that there is alot of controversey about whether to pay attention to net cals eaten or actual calories eaten. The majority that I have talked to pay attention to the actual calories eaten. I have been on Dr. Oz's "Move It and Lose It" website last winter…

I'm in for 50 miles this month. It will be walking and bike riding because I can't run due to physical ailment. :smile:

To weigh 130 again...I have 47 lbs to lose. I just started this week so maybe in 6 to 8 months I will be there. Then i will treat myself to a trip to St. John, Virgin Islands!!!!! :love:

What's an HRM. Also, how am I suppossed to see a visual tracking if this site doesn't show that?

Saw your post of 344 to lose 100 lbs. Great Job!!! You are an inspiration to me. :smile:

Wow!!! Great job! You Go Girl!!! I hold my weight in my tummy and my hips. How did you get your tummy to go down so well what type of exercise are you doing?

From my belly on down to my toes! lol :sad:

I am 5'2" also and weigh about 177. When I signed up for this site the data base say's that for my height and age (51) I should weigh between 125 and 138 pounds. to the one who says she is playing it by ear - I don't know what your age is but I am guessing your benchmark is about the same if not pretty close to mine.…

Hi! I have a Pilates Power Gym that I bought a year ago. Sad to say I used it for 4 months to trim down for a trip to the caribbean. It did work but I got lazy after my trip and gained the 15lbs back that I lost and received more cottage cheese legs than ever before when I stopped using it. I do plan to start using it…

Welcome to MFP, I am new to this site as well. And have found much needed support than from any other weight loss site and besides this one is FREE! I will be praying for your success. :)

Th:smile: nks for the advice...I will try increasing my protein and my water consumption and see what happens. :smile:
