Seeing the scale waver on 209 before settling at 211. The last couple of days, it's waffled at 212 before settling. Microprogress - I'll take it!

http://ajcn.nutrition.org/content/84/4/936.full Even when activity levels were accounted for, phosphoric acid has been shown to have an impact. I'm not by any means suggesting colas are Evil, just that people should make conscious choices. Me? I still occasionally drink Coke Classic or a nice single malt, and eat bacon.…

Exactly! If for some reason it doesn't work, ask your quilting forum how to post images then adjust as needed (sometimes the tags look a little different depending on the technical hoo-haa behind the scenes)

Go back in to where you created the ticker (under Apps on MFP top menu bar), and click on "get code for ticker"

http://www.muscleandfitness.com/workouts/workout-tips/increase-your-strength-partials There you go - probably best to carry on with full range of motion unless/until you need to add more focused techniques. And guys doing partials probably know what's what. Good question, though! :bigsmile:

This! I've lost 12 lbs in the last 5 weeks. My 24 yr old son started with MFP 3 weeks ago and has dropped 10 lbs in that time. Which is irritatingly unfair if you are me ;-) Run with it - you've got this! If you haven't already read this, it's an MFP classic:…

Dinner leftovers, or deli turkey wrapped in a slice of swiss or lettuce leaf - whichever's handy.

She also advises not brushing teeth daily in order to keep them whiter. :huh: Wearing heels isn't any better for your legs than calf raises. And carries the already-mentioned negative physical impacts. Wear 'em if you want, but don't kid yourself that it's "good for you".
-
This! (My motives may be influenced by opening my diary right AFTER bringing bacon, beer, & corndogs into the house. Solidarity in numbers!)
-
Sure. As others have mentioned, a weekly count works just fine. Why? Because your body does not magically "reset" its calorie counter at midnight! (unlike MFP)

Big fat snowflakes. Sort of a "walking meditation on snowy day"
-
Great choice! Year-round swimming was my first sport :-) As LouSmorals points out, it really is that simple. So please *do* go hop into the pool! Now I'll get into the weeds, just as context (since you're asking about details). I don't know your specific pool, but here are a couple of general etiquette notes from the…

Since no one else put this link yet, here you go - it's an MFP classic and made just for your above question! http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1175494-a-guide-to-get-you-started-on-your-path-to-sexypants Regarding your cardio, there's a lot of YMMV. If you like a shorter more intense workout, do that. If you'd…

Congratulations! And thank you (really, THANK YOU) for sharing this! :flowerforyou:
-
Interested in seeing what others say. I've had 3 (including 1 endo) insist they prefer synthroid because they don't have confidence in Armour or other naturals having consistent dosage. :huh: But then, I've also heard doctors insist any value w/in the vast "normal range" means you should feel 100% healthy, and had an endo…

When you say "get in shape" what exactly do you mean? That's not meant snarkily, btw. You will get better advice and more importantly stay the course when you have specific goals. I found this series of articles to be quite interesting, with specific notes on weightlifting when you're obese (I'm 211, down from 236, so…

This. In for the smiles! OP, the Hal Higdon & Couch to 5K really are great options to get started. Enjoy! :drinker:
-
Actually, colas (diet & not alike) contain phosphoric acid which has been shown to be harmful to bone density. Which no one necessarily cares about until later in life - unless you've seen a friend or family member who's got osteoporosis. It's sneaky, and you "feel fine", yet (from nof.org): "A woman’s risk of breaking a…

Nope! Coke Classic all the way! That said, it's a rare treat that's usually accompanied by movie popcorn - and that's usually a good fraction of the day's calories. Soooooooooo worth it (to me). Obviously, YMMV. For someone who drinks a can or more per day, it might be a really nice way to shed calories rather painlessly
-
For me. Because I'm over my disappointment with medical issues, and ready to get out of my own way. My body shouldn't have trouble scrunching over to tie my shoelaces. That's just not who I've ever been, and I'm gonna do whatever it takes to reclaim my fitness - even if I can't presently do my favorite sports. Life is too…

You asked a couple of questions here. I'm picking this one to answer. Me? I have low-normal blood pressure and for 44 years now, have always liked lots of salt. I'm losing a little more than 2 lbs/week. Eating is healthiER, not clean, as I'm just making small changes to start. I also am hypothyroid and have very little TOM…

I love sewing & quilting. Current projects are new bathrobe and (finally!) finishing quilt of old tshirts & baby/child stuff. (youngest is 20+, so this is waaaaaaaay overdue for finishing!)
-
Baggy Underwear 'Nuff said. :bigsmile:

Hmmm, awkward comments received, not so much. But I will NEVER forget the worst one I made: Saw a high school acquaintance @ the mall about 5 years after graduation. We weren't close, but were friendly. He'd been very overweight in HS, and when I saw him looked much lighter, happy, and *healthy* (even in retrospect). I…

Great article, with a lot of nice (pardon the pun) chewy implications for non-AN eating issues. Thanks very much for posting this!
-
Being hungry and craving carrots for breakfast. It was just surreal and amusing (I ate them while fixing tea & the rest of breakfast).
-
+1 I held out for a year, trying PT, chiro...ended up needing surgery @ 27. Good news, it worked. Bad news, might not have been needed if I'd taken care of it sooner. Sometimes the "suck it up, buttercup" approach is not the best. Damn, I *still* hate admitting that!
-
Whoa - I'm certainly not suggesting that anyone else 200+ can't or shouldn't run. Just stating my individual #s, partly to make the point that *if* you can't run at a particular weight, you might very well be able to at some later/lighter point. To not give up - it IS very individual and a worthy endeavor! Also, I think…
-
This exactly! I have to racewalk until under 200 lbs - that's just how my knees are (and we've only got 2!)
-
Yup! My (adult) DD and DS are both now on MFP. More smack-talk IMs, but also Skyping for mass cooking discussions. We're not MFP friends, and are all taking slightly different approaches (DD logs on paper - don't get me started). There's a certain glee when the child who laughed at your food scale confesses his just…
