In the spirit of web based altruism, there is a really fun FREE game you can play to help feed hungry people. Go to www.freerice.com and play a game that helps you improve your vocabulary (or study for the SAT/GRE) and for every right answer you get, sponsors donate 20 grains of rice to the UN World Food Program. It's fun…

I really like this idea. I need to lose 115lbs to be within my healthy BMI, and I could definately use the motivation. Saturdays sound good to me as weigh in/measurement days, and I like the body fat estimator since one of my goals to to build muscle. I will post my goals on Feb 1. Good luck to everyone who want's to play!

hey all, I have always had a HUGE appitite, and I felt hungry all the time. Well since I have been tracking my intake and working out this month, I am having trouble eating. I LOVE food, and I still feel really hungry a lot, but as soon as I fix a yummy healthy meal, I take a bite or two and suddenly don't want the rest. I…

I completely relate to how you feel. I have always been overweight, and the only ways I usually lost were unhealthy. I always gained back weight that I lost plus more, and now my health is starting to be affected. I am soooooo worried about it I have trouble sleeping at night sometimes, :frown: but I really feel that this…

This may sound kinda strange, but I am a dancer and I discovered that when I was doing strength training, I was doing reps and breathing in a waltz pattern..."lift, 2, 3....squeze, 2, 3..." etc. so sometimes I like to listen to waltz while I work out. It keeps me from going to fast and making sure that my movements are…

Great job! :bigsmile: You can change those habits one positive step at a time! I made a good decision too. I went out to my favorite Mediterranean resturant the other day for lunch and ordered Cabbage rolls. They are the best. They come two to an order, but I only ate one. I could have eaten the second, but I felt…

I am having trouble with my carb/fat.protien goals. In the past, I just counted calories, but I have read that the nutrient ratio is just as important. Though I have been at or below my calorie limit every day, my ratios are always different. I usually eat a lot of vegetables and maybe some lean meat with lunch. I work two…

jrandsr1926, that is really helpful advice. I know that I always seems to jump into things rather than taking them slowly. By starting slowly with my exercise and weight loss, its easier to maintain a healthy lifestyle rather than just a diet. Oh, and I had a doctor tell me the same thing!

My name is Jenna, and I am interested in losing weight, but more importantly, building muscle mass. Would like to meet some friends nearby who are trying to get fit. I HATE exercise, but it's not so bad if you have a buddy.
