If you want to work out 2 hours a day, try to break it out in small increments. I do about 60-80 minutes before I go to work. I do a 10-15 minute power walk on a break or lunch at work and sometimes I do about 20 minutes when I come home from work. You just have to make the time. I get up at 5:00am and start working out…

I do my workouts and also socialize with others on MFP. Most of the socialization is suggestions and encouragement which most of the time helps others. If you are on MFP for just you, then don't friend anyone and just log your exercise and food.

Egg Whites with veggies.

Thanks. That's great advice. I do believe that I focus on the scale sometime too much.

I burned 950 calories doing kickboxing this morning. It is possible. I did a 65 min. workout and my HRM calculates my calories burned.

Vodka is a low calorie drink. No carbs, fat or sugar. Some places have unsweetened lemonade. I put it in that and it tastes great. As far as eating you can eat veggies, small chicken dish and even some of the non-fried appetizer size things.

I will eat some candy or something sweet if I crave it. Everything in moderation.

I lost several inches in my inner and outter thighs. I did it by walking/jogging and aerobic workouts. It also toned my butt.

I agree that I like indoor running better. Way less stressful on the feet.

Today I have been doing this for 6 months and I have lost 55lbs without taking diet pills. You can do it by eating right and exercising.

I'm in. Hoping for more but I will challenge myself with the 10.

Right now I eat about 75-80 grams of protein a day but I can up that. I just do not want to add to much fat or sodium. My family has a history of high blood pressure and I am trying to avoid it. So far, I have done it and pray that I can continue to do so. My clothes are much looser. I have dropped 2 clothes sizes. I thank…

Congrats. I can't wait to get there. It's not too far off.

Definitely plan ahead. I just started on here in August 2012 and it has definitely helped me. During the month of July, I started exercising to get my self prepared and when I joined the logging of the meals made a major difference. I plan my exercise routine and meals days ahead of time so that I can buy the proper foods…

You are in mny thoughts and prayers. I pray he returns to his loved ones safely.

Keep up the good work. When I started walking, I started out a little at a time. Now I am up to jogging and doing about 60 minutes of exercise per day.

Don't give up. You may need to adjust your food intake up or down. Make sure you drink plenty of water that is important. When I first started out, I would get to my job 15 minutes early and go for a walk, then I would walk 20 minutes on my lunch break (before I ate) and then 15 minutes after work. I broke it down into…

I would go if we could bring our spouses. Mine has been so supportive and the cruise ship would allow us to log into MFP without ridiculous high rates. I remember my job had to contact me one time on my vacation and the rate was high for a call. They paid it but I would hate to pay something outrageous. They give group…

This year is my 4th year on Mirena. I did not gain any weight since I've been on it. At the beginning it gave me backaches, but that is it.

When too much nitrogen is present in your system, your body depends on the kidneys to process the excess nitrogen. This process creates urea, which can then be expelled through your urine. However, when there is too much for the kidneys to even process, then the excess nitrogen is secreted as ammonia through your sweat.…

I pray for your loss. On Friday, August 31, 2012, it will be 16 years ago that my parents lost my brother. They say the same thing as you...it does not get easier...you just learn to live through it. I know that my brother is in heaven with your daughter. They entered it in the same week. I pray for your strength and I…

At least 30-40 minutes of exercise every day. Early mornining: cable fitness exercise workouts, mid-morning - 1 mile walk daily.

I am 48 and losing weight at this age is hard. As of yesterday, I lost 20lbs this month. I have been adding more exercise each day. That is difficult for me because I have sciatica (right side of my back) and do not have full feeling in my foot. The more I exercise, the more it comes back. Just keep at it and you will be…

I prefer to walk and run outside. I like the fresh air and looking at nature.

I'm in. I would love to lose 30 pounds by Christmas. It is right on target with the goal that I set for myself. I wish everyone the best in reaching the 30. Stay encouraged.

I lost 8 pounds the first week and now it is about 2lbs a week.

I log everything I eat, down to a cheese cube.

I exercise in the morning.

Congratulations on your total life style change. Your story is inspirational. I wish you continued success on your journey....You can kick the smoking habit too. Just keep the faith.
