Um--this varies a great deal from person to person--some can control their cholesterol levels strictly via diet while others need medication cause they make too much no matter ho much they eat. As to the original question: I love a nice juicy steak. I also love natural peanut butter which is loaded with fat--but the good…

Got into a pair of jeans that I 'outgrew' about 5 years ago!! I also like that my shirts don't stain across the chest. Yes, you heard right---I am happy that my chest is smaller!! I am more comfortable with my body that I have been in 5-10 years!

To flatten abs you need to work all three sets of abdominal muscles: the upper ones (the ones you feel with regular crunches), the lower abs (reverse crunches and 'bicycles') and obliques (standing side crunches and elbow to opposite knee standing crunches). I find it is easiest to do this to a DVD workout. I am a big DVD…

Hey cool! My name is Kristin, too! I'm a 52 year old mom and professor (cell biology) and MFP has really helped me get fit. I'll friend you and send you encouragment often. Hope you stay determined and reach your goal.

TDEE=Total Daily Energy Expenditure. If you are eating 1500cal/day and burning 2500 then you have a 1000cal/day deficit. If you are also working out and buring say, 200cal/day then your net calories are what you ate minus what you burned--in this example 1500-200=1300cal. Hope this helps. To the original poster: you are…

Just losing 57 lbs is a GREAT acomplishment! You should be proud of yourself! The lack of large change in clothes size could be due to you losing weight all over your body--from your face, arms and lower legs as well as the torso. But clothing sizes usually depend on chest, waist and hip size only. You have lost in the…
