Kickboxing rocks! Whether you will strengthen/tone really depends on your instructor. A lot of classes are strictly "cardio" kickboxing. Those classes are great for fat burning, but probably not so great for toning and strengthening. The class I take is instructed by a former MMA fighter, and we do TONS of strength…

I recently started going to a kickboxing class with my friends. Most of us are chubby girls, and when we started, our trainer had us do 5 push-ups in between each set of whatever we were doing. With each class, he increases the set by one push-up. Tomorrow we'll be doing 13 push-ups between each set on our rotation. Two…

Leslie Sansone has tons of walking videos, and some of them are very challenging! I always feel amazing after finishing 5 Really Big Miles.

You're doing a great job! You are doing what's right for you, and that's what matters. :happy:

Awesome! Way to go!!! Get a belt! Just kidding!:laugh:

I'm far from an expert, but this is what I suggest. #1. Assess what you like to do. I love dancing, and I have dancing video games that are great for doing indoors - and they're FUN! #2. The hardest part is just getting started. I've been at this for 3 months, and it's still the hardest part for me. I tell myself I'll do…

Boo! Bad doctors cause a lot of injuries and death. They're out there. If my gut told me they were giving me bad advice, I wouldn't follow it just because they have a medical degree.

Fire. Your. Doctor. - Period!

Bravo! Thanks for sharing your story. Seeing your success tells me I can do it, too! :happy:

Anything with CONFIDENCE! I want to know that I look good. :wink:

Sounds like a blast! Wish we lived closer, or my family would do it for sure!!!

Nothing. There's room for anything in a healthy diet.

Well, I decided that fixating in the number 1430 was making me a little crazy, so I upped my calories to 1650-ish. I've lost 3 pounds since Friday! I have no idea what gives, but I feel better and I'm losing faster. It worked for me (so far)! :happy:

You can search the database for "generic pasta" and get a lot of results for cooked pasta. Give that a try. Hope you find what you're looking for. :smile:

Mean girls blow! Sorry that happened to you today. I'm the b***h who would have said something nasty back to them. You're a better person.

We've all been right where you are today. I still have days when I put on 5 shirts before I leave the house. MFP has worked beautifully for me. I've lost 20 pounds in 2 months simply by logging all of my food and exercise here. It takes a little time at first, but it gets a lot faster the more you do it. Losing weight…

He certainly doesn't sound like a great boyfriend. If he's keeping secrets and you feel like you're being taken advantage of, you should get out of the relationship. But you already know this. Life is full of crappy choices, but you need to be #1 in your life.

Mmmmmm! Gotta try this!

I love my Chobani with 1 tablespoon of honey. I eat this almost every day. Or you can add 1 tablespoon of a fruit butter or sugar free jam. Greek yogurt is very forgiving and can be flavored with just about anything. Have fun experimenting!

Bump. Hope you find an answer. That's a difficult move to replace when you have a bum shoulder.

Love this! We spend a TON on our kids for Christmas. I can't imagine the reaction if we gave them cash instead. They would die!!!
-
It's crazy how much we were eating before. No wonder I got fat!

You have to truly know what will make you happiest. I have DDD's and would love a perky C or even a regular D. Gravity and childbirth have not been kind to my girls, so I've been considering a breast reduction for a long time. You just have to do what is right for you.
-
You can absolutely do this! All you need to do is start. Log your food. Every single thing, every bite, every day. It is time consuming at first, but it gets faster the more you do it. I know the emotional eating that accompanies the parenting of small children. I was dropped into single motherhood while my husband was…

I like BBQ sauce on hot dogs, too. I don't think it's that weird.
