bump for ideas. so jealous you guys can cook like this. everything looks amazing!!

Hi Jenn and everyone else. I also have struggled with being obese my entire life and finally made a decision to take it seriously for the first time a couple of months ago. I started at 285 lbs, which was my highest weight was afraid I would hit 300 lbs and give up completely. I've gained the weight through many years of…

Wow, I thought buying 8 lbs dumbbells up from 5 lbs would be a good start to my weight training with dumbbells, but I guess I need much higher weights. Can you or anybody tell me what weights they started out using at the beginning stages?

I was looking for the exact same thing as you so thanks for the link.

didn't eat breakfast today but bump for breakfast ideas.

I've been looking at reviews and getting recommendations for awhile and today finally bought the Polar FT7. It's my first HRM and I hope it works well for me. If not, I purchased a warranty and was told that I would return it to the store for any reason at all (even if I hate the color). lol

thanks for the link!

I'm 250 lbs now. I've lost 30 lbs total. Although I run while playing softball a couple times a week, I only really started for fitness a month ago using the c25k app. Hated it at first but actually started to enjoy jogging by the 3rd week. I don't know if I overdid it by going up to high an incline, running continuously…

I am still in the early stages of my weight loss. I have only lost 30 lbs total with another 90 to go. I've already started bodyweight and weight training now, so that I will hopefully gain muscles as I lose fat. I workout at home and would like to add dead lifts to my workouts but only have dumbbells. Can I do dead lifts…

Love this post. So true and informative for newbies, so much that I'll be showing my friend this post who's new to all of this. Thanks for posting!

Thanks for this recipe. I love wraps and can only seem to find wraps where the least amount of calories is 130 cal but the sodium is also pretty high. So I can't wait to try this as well. I'm sure the sodium on these wraps are relatively low too!

MFB has become my new FB now that I use it all the time. With the amount of daily support you receive from friends, daily logging and interesting topics in the community forums which I actually learn from, I find that I'm now on this app all the time and I'm barely on fb at all now. The only other reason I still use it is…

I have a Health o meter scale from Walmart that works fine. I think I bought it for $20-25.

lol, thanks I needed the laugh.

I'm getting a tattoo when I lose a 100 lbs but I'm not sure what I want to get yet since it'll be my first. But I have plenty of time to figure it out since I'm only 25 lbs down, lol.

I love fitness blender. They're on youtube and have their own free website as well. Enjoy!

thanks for the links. I'm not scared of the the word bodybuilder or bulking up, anything is better than flab and I could finally wear t-shirts comfortably. I just bought 8 lbs dumbbells to use with my 5 lbs because sometimes the 8's are too heavy for certain exercises. But I definitely don't use 2 or 3's anymore. I also…

Thanks for the info. I'll definitely be utilizing your post over and over.

wow!! just awesome and such motivation for me. thanks!

thanks for your comment. I'll continue with these exercises since it works.

Thanks for your comment, you answered my question. I just meant from flabby arms to arms that are toned with some muscle.Your last sentence really was the answer I was looking for. We always get to see the after pics but becoming your after pic was just questionable to me without the help of a gym. I'll continue using my…

I also work a desk job for 40 hours a week and my headquarters just moved to a new campus that they built for the company. So I've been running up our stairs (5 floors) twice a day with my friend since we moved there in March. We also have a walking trail so I use that from time to time as well. I mainly workout every…

this breaks my heart alittle as I love fitness blender vids and use them all the time. I haven't tried that video but I would hope they were honest in the calorie burn because I would then have to question their other vids as well.

Wow, your arms look amazing. What did you do to tone up your arms like that? I would love to have my arms look that way this time next year.
