One of the (many many many) reasons that my husband and I separated a few months ago was lifestyle. Before we met I exercised regularly, was very outdoorsy, and had really good eating habits. He was overweight when we met but I thought that my healthy lifestyle could inspire him to want to make positive changes in his…

I wasn't interested in "cleansing," that's just the category in which they put the shakes. And again, this brand also happens to have fat, carbs, and protein if you look at the nutritional info. I just really want to get all the nutrients I need and stay within my calorie goals for the day!! No I haven't been persuaded to…

I can only go by what I see and the girl has never worked out a day in her life; she gets angry if a walk is longer than 3 blocks and I don't warn her in advance LOL And somehow she now has clearly defined abs and biceps. It's just very perplexing. As far as the proteins/fats/carbs all that stuff is in the shakes. I wasn't…

No bubble burst here, that's why I was asking! I am just really curious how my one friend is gaining muscle mass from this stuff when she's not working out at all. I wasn't looking for any quick fixes, so far I've done really well with just watching what I eat and exercising more and I'm ok with the slow and steady route…

I feel like I didn't do them right, it was a little too easy and I didn't feel any burn :( I'll try again tonight. Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Free Calorie Counter

CONGRATULATIONS!! Keep up the good work :)

I think MFP sets sugar goals wayyyy too low. If I have a banana and cottage cheese I am over my sugar for the day. I don't even pay much attention to it anymore, as long as the food I am logging is healthy and giving me energy. I am more concerned with my calories and carbs. But I suppose everyone has different…

I'm in...but I'll have to wait until I get home from work.

Cottage cheese is really hti or miss for me depending on the brand. So far the only ones that I've found that I can eat are Friendship and Horizon Organic. When it's good I love eating it plain on its own. But I can't seem to get a taste for the other brands, even with things in them. If I do put something in it I really…

Running (well really power walking/jogging), hiking, and yoga are my exercises of choice. It helps to get out of the stuffy gym and away from all the eyes boring into you. Maybe I just imagine that, but it makes me self conscious enough to not want to work out in the gym! I love nothing more than getting out into nature…

The problem isn't people GIVING UP on marriages too easily. The real problem is that people don't necessarily really KNOW the person that they married. I found out after 3 years of marriage that my husband was a drug addict and had been since before we met. Sometimes people are much better liars and manipulators than you…

Phenylketonuria can mimic the symptoms of MS and usually goes away once you stop drinking diet soda.

I am 5'5 and when I was 140lbs I looked like an "average" person; not chubby in the slightest but not skinnyskinny either. If you're 5'10 it sounds to me like 140 might be a little too skinny, and 130 most DEFINTELY is because even I looked emaciated at 130!! Perhaps you just need to tone a little and not actually lose any…

It's not about whether or not you brush your teeth. If a bit of cola will eat the paint off a car and the rust off an engine imagine what it is doing to your teeth and your organs! Even if you brush twice a day, most people don't brush in between meals and those poisons are eating away at you in the meantime.

Seltzer with a twist of fruit juice (lemon, lime, orange) is an awesome substitute for soda. I was never much of a soda drinker, but now I only drink water or seltzer.

I weigh myself first thing in the morning. I've tried to weigh myself before and after using the bathroom first thing after I wake up, and after noticing a few times a significant difference between the two numbers I only ever do it after hahah I NEVER weigh myself at night, it's only setting myself up for disappointment!…

I hate everyone equally, regardless or race, gender, class, age, etc. hahah Add me!

Hey guys! I've been using MFP for a few months now and it's really helping me to reach my weight loss goals. I gained about 60 pounds over the course of my marriage and in the 3 months I've been separated I've lost close to 30lbs! I hope to be back down to my pre-married weight before my birthday (July 23) and I think I'm…

I keep hearing about this insanity but I'm scared to try it! I don't know if I have enough stamina to do an INSANE workout!!

If you're exercising a lot you may need to increase your calorie intake. It sounds counter-intuitive but you need to fuel your workouts! Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Free Weight Loss Tools

I love doing yoga but classes are expensive and my computer recently broke so I can't watch youtube videos like I sometimes do at home. Are there any good websites with lists of poses that I can do on my own and at my own pace? I would love to continue the practice, I just don't know enough to put anything together on my…

You're definitely not eating enough calories throughout the day to fuel your workouts! You should consume a MINIMUM of 1200 calories each day.
