Another option would be stronglifts 5 x 5. Done in about 30 minutes and not a lot of new exercises to learn.

I can always use another friend to receive and support! Feel free to add me if you would like!

I am soooo happy for you!!! It is hard sometimes to stick to our guns, especially when we are hungry and have hungry kids and or SO in our lives. Way to GO!!!!! It is just the beginning and you are staying strong!!! Keep it going!!!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! You look Fantastic and I loved the running photos of you!!! Your times are so good!!! Keep it going and thanks for sharing!!!

I like Wendy's chili if I am in a pinch and if I am really needing the calories then I eat a baked potato with toppings. Other than that I don't eat fast food since it doesn't really taste good.

For me I gotta remember why I started exercising and eating better to begin with. My family has a lot of health problems and some of them have some weight problems. My doctor said I can't prevent the problems but I can certainly reduce the risks by eating better, exercising to lose some of the weight. I have lost over 10…

I felt the same way. I was stressing myself out over points and weigh-in days. Since I have been with MFP, life is so much better and way less stressful!

Love it chezjuan!!! Let's see, bad things that have happened to me 1. Had to invest in Hefty garbage bags for all of the clothes that don't fit anymore. Of course, the local Goodwill is loving me... 2. Not keeping local convenience store in business anymore with my multiple stops for pop and candy. 3. Don't get to smell…

My trainer has me working on negative pull-ups where you start from the pull-up position and work on increasing your ability to hold the position a few seconds at a time. Hope it helps!!!

Hey ya. I am in the same boat, already through the change, mid forties, been running and when I first started I need to run 1-2 miles before I felt like I could breathe without pain. A friend from my gym ran with me and said I needed to slow down and I have been working on that and it seems to help. Now as long as I do…

I like the 3rd one down, really shows off your beautiful face!

Hi I am 44, eating 1800-2000 calories and losing weight using the TDEE method. I just started it about 3-4 weeks ago and have been losing consistently when doing it. Hope this helps!

You look FANTASTIC!!! Congrats to you on the weight loss!! You can really see the changes, keep it going!!!

Congrats to you for facing that HUGE challenge and making it through even though you had pain, blisters and wanted to stop. YOU did it!!! YOU made it through!!! Big hugs!!!

Well here are a few of the NSV's I want! I want to run 1/2 marathon without walking this year! I want to wear a size 6 or smaller I want to make new friends with similar goals I want to be more adventurous and go white water rafting and para-sailing

Loved your story so much and you look FANTASTIC!!!! Thanks so much for sharing your life with us and showing that change is possible!!!

Me too. Whatever it inputs I go with. I don't use MFP's exercise tab at all. I think it grossly over exaggerates on burn on most of the activity.

Congratulations!!! You look Fantastic! All the hard work and and dedication definitely paid off!!! Thank you for sharing your story with us!!!

You know I haven't experienced that at all. My MFP friends have all been great, we talk about fitness and support and encourage each other but we also talk about things going on in our lives. Sorry to hear your not getting that! Feel free to add me if you would like!

Sometimes I put frozen fruit - whatever you like I do blueberries, strawberries, blackberries. Other times I use PB (powdered peanut butter and put it in, another idea is oatmeal and a banana and some cinnamon. Others put flavored yogurt in it...

THIS for me!!!

Thank you. I was confused since they were both on the same tab in MFP so I was thinking I was doing something incorrectly. Thanks again!

Honestly I tried New rules of lifting last year but it was too complicated for me. I am doing stronglifts 5 x 5 3x per week and it is done in less than 30 minutes and I get one heck of a workout. Already lost almost 9 inches in 30 days and I still do my running almost daily, eat at TDEE - 20%. Hope this helps!

Ok, I think I have this set up correctly but I have a question. My BMR = 1423 TDEE = 2455 20% reduction = 1964 which is the total amount I will eat For fitness goals i put the difference between my BMR and TDEE which is 532 calories - took it times 6 for the weekly goal. Where I am concerned is the Diet Profile which…

I run almost daily usually 3-10 miles and I lift heavy 3x per week, sometimes more so you can work out twice per day with no issues. It all depends on what your body is telling you and that you fuel it. r-balogh is right P90x doubles is tough and might work better for you!

Will have to go to store never heard of coconut flour but I am going to track it down! The pancakes/waffles look wonderful!

Congrats! You look fantastic!!! So happy for you!!!

Yeah if I don't want it then I just say thank you but not today. I might add something that it looks delish or something to that fact. Everyone in my office knows I eat pretty healthy so they know I don't partake if they bring in bagels or doughnuts which is nice and makes it easier to resist any temptations. I work with a…

Sometimes I make a breakfast scramble using asparagus, shredded potatoes, peppers, onions, mushrooms, pepper and a dab of butter...YUMMY!!! Otherwise I might do any veggies I have in the fridge - cauliflower, broccoli, peppers, mushrooms, onions, asparagus, spinach, sometimes I add a little Feta cheese, salsa or hot sauce…

That is pretty neat to see the amounts in different foods that are 200 calories. Reminds me to eat healthy so I get more food! I am greedy like that!
