  • An awkward answer: It could be stress or depression. Those can also cause you lose interest in sex. It could also be a hormonal thing too. Since you are not on an antidepressant or BC, then those two can easily be ruled out. Have there been any changes in your life? New job? Moved to a new house/apartment? Loss of a family…

  • Welcome! This is a great site for what you are looking for. Although I have exercised in the past, I haven't as much now. It will take a while, but if you are patient, you will lose weight. Too many people want to lose weight now and don't want to take the effort to make it last. Good luck!

  • I agree lighter weights and more repetitions. I have heard that free weights can cause larger muscles because they are a consistent weight through the whole motion. Weight machines don't do that. My understanding is that free weights give you more bulk. Of course, this may be more of an issue for the heavier weights than…

  • Welcome Soaplady! This site is great for losing a little, or a lot. Tracking really does help. Once I started tracking, I realized I was eating 2500+ calories a day! Now I'm down under 1700. It took a while, but it has been worth it. Good luck!

  • One of the many reasons I never upsize my meal. I also remove things like cheese and mayo from any burger I get. That cuts a lot of the fat too...I also try not to eat all of my fries (it's hard sometimes because they are very nummy!).

  • Welcome to MFP! My wife introduced me to this site and I've been having a lot of success so far. You'll be hungry for a while, but then your body will adjust to the lowered calories and you won't be as hungry. Also, you'll get full faster. I used to have to eat 500 calories for breakfast to feel full, now I can eat around…

  • I do things a little different. When I have a craving for something sweet (usually soda), I make myself drink tea instead. It doesn't always work, but I've cut down on the soda...a lot. Good luck!
