Good Morning! I am starting Stage 1 today, and I am excited about it. I hve always loved lifting weights, but never really had much direction with it except to look up different excercises and try them. My biggest fear is that I won't stick to the calories. I love protein, no problem there, just the calories. It seems I am…

hey..we havent really been using this page at all...let use it! how is everyone that is POWER HUNGRY??? :tongue:

sounds like a great opportunity! I am definitely interested! molly :smile:

Very interesting and brings me back to my A&P days in Nursing school.... so I am sticking with my new/current plan based on advice received from this forum. Lift weights first, be sure I have enough protein, and have a calorie defecit. thank you, I appreciate all the time and effort you put into this answer! Molly

but if I don't have a calorie deficit, I also won't lose weight will I? Doesn't it all come down to cal in vs. cal out in the end? I need to lose probably 70 or more pounds, and I have been concentrating moselty on burning the most calories by doing cardio. by the way, thanks for your answers everyone!

And since I'm already asking one question...I have also read and had people tell me to do weight lifting first, then cardio, because you will be able to lift more therefore gain more muscle by doing the weight lifting before you tire from the cardio. As I see it, one will be done while you muscles are tired either way...I…

Hi, I am Molly, I love to learn the underlying science behind the way things work. I am a nurse (mostly in the ICU) and have 2 kids. My whole life I have been off again on again physically active. Last january I had a syndesmosis rupture of my righ tnakle and also broke the fibula up near my knee snowtubing with my kids.…

I would look it up on the web here at mfp or somewhere else where you put in your weight height heart rate etc. it will be more accurate for you. M P.S., i love the elliptical, but i have a looong way to go.

wow...did I start a trend or something?? nothing on here since I posted!!! today is going to be a better day with more excercise! hows everyone else doing?

too bad we didn't have a clothing exchange thing on here..like as you go down you donate you bigger clothes to others who are that size..I don't have the time to do it, but if I didn't work 40+ hours a week I would take it on! i had a big explosion with my poor kids last night..STRESS...just getting them to do what I ask,…

cyber-know....lol :ohwell:

I finally found this!! I can't read these from my phone app so I have to actually log on to a computer, which I rarely do from home..about me..I have very little to read on my page, I guess it is because I usually prefer to hide. so here goes: I have 2 kids, 12 year old girl and 14 year old boy. The girl I am worried…

I thought it was a tough challenge, because I was already doing 40 minutes of cardio, so I had to figure out a way to add it in..But it was worth it. I felt like I had reallt accomplished something a every day when it was done! I think I will be doing the windshield wipers this week because bouncing on my ankly like you do…

great article and great reminder. :glasses:

bed at same time every night, a routine before you go that's the same every night, have your coffee (if you like coffee) all set to be turned on or self start in the morning...the smell of that coffee is something I love and it helps me get out of bed. and.. i used to smoke too until may, for some reason a cigarette in the…

hahahaha! etoh adds calories though.....still funny..

I vote that yes it is definitely sexy. I think each person has thier own opinion though, and it's possible your friend is also jealous that she is "curvy" and you are toned..

yellow team let's go!

GO TEAM YELLOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GO TEAM YELLOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

welcome! this is a great place!:tongue:

I add flax to yogurt smoothies sometimes, and pizza crust, i hide in spaghetti sauce (along with spinach) so my kids eat it too. they actually like ground flax just mixed in their yogurt.

:tongue: what about the smoked salmon, because the protien will be filling, and maybe the prawn cocktail? do you want calories for drinks or will you have water? I love to have a cocktail or two when I go out....

that's awesome! ( p.s...what excatly does NSV stand for?):flowerforyou:

thanks! :smooched:

I will buddy ya! Molly

Excercise is something I really enjoy and look forward to, but...I had a serious ankle injury and surgery and a broken bone in January, and I am (just yesterday) allowed to walk without the orthopedic boot. Soon I will be able to try and replace the need for soomething in my mouth with some aeribic excercise,…

I 'll buddy you! Molly

Good luck! :smile:

I'm fatter..beacuse I have a huge appetite, I can't control my portion size, add that to 12 weeks sitting on the couch with torn ankle tendons and ligaments and a broken fiblua, then 2 months in an orthopedic boot, and quitting smoking. and here I am at my highest weight ever.
