My hair is thin too. After you check out that it is not a medical problem, here are some vitamins that might help with your hair loss. Vitamins that will help are biotion, vitamin b complex, and vitamin K ( I read this on a msn article) Personally I have tried the bition and have not notice a difference. And don't forget…

i fall sucker to cravings too. But I say don't deprive yourself. Try and look for healthier snack options or have a small porition. For example, I love chocolate, but instead of buying the 100g bar, I buy the 42g bar and only eat 1 square. This way I savour it- (beucase I know I am not going to eat the entire bar) And I…

I am 5: 3" and my goal is 130. I am tired of putting on back o the weight and want to do it in a healthy and safe manner.

Green beans 1 cup and grilled chicken, with 1 cup of green tea.

Totally understand how you feel, I am in the same boat, lost about 15 pounds and enjoyed my summer. (Ice cream, cake you name it) Now I am 10 pounds heavier. I have started again. And I do admit MFP really help me stay motivated adn loose the weight. New month new challenge- and this time I am going to keep it off!

Okay I know the advice eat healthy loose two pounds a week is a healthy range. But if you have 7 weeks, cut out the carbs and you will see the weight lose. At least 4 pounds a week if you are strict. That means no rice, no flour, no bread, no sugar. (Even the hidden carbs and in sugar found in carrots, peas, orgnges)…

anything tandori- chiken fish, usually not battered or in heavy cream sauce. Curry dishes are also not made with heavy cream. And of course they ususally have salad.

You should take it after your workout. If you work out on an empty stomach you will burn more fat. If you have the protein shake before you work out, those are the calories you will burn. Also after your workout, you need to replenish some of the nutrients, so your protein shake will assist in that. I take protein shakes…

I felt like that too. I was like I don't see no difference. But sometime the weight loss is in places you don't measure. For example when I loose weight first place is my face, then my feet. Go figure, all the places you cannot really see. It is probably showing, but in places you are not measuring.

Don't be discourage stick with it. But you have to find a healthy balance in your diet. Vegetarian, you can still get your protien from soy. They have a lot of soy burgers, that are quite tastey, have the patty with a salad, some jello, you will be on track. Try and use fruit for your sweet tooth instead of sweets. Good…

I use to too. I would be all this temptation, and all I can eat is salad and a chicken breast. But I realized if I see on the weekend, I would only loose a pound a week. If I stay strict on my diet, I will loose 3 pounds for the week. So anytime I tempted to cheat I tell my self, eating this bowl of ice cream, will delay…

No you cannot get the same beneftis of b12 tablets as taking a b12 injection. When you take the b12 tablet, your body looses som through your digestion track. So by the time it hit's your system you have lost quite a bit of dosage. When b12 is injection it by pass the digestion track and hits your system right away.…

My husband use this, what it does it prevents your body form absorbing fatty food, an you will poop it out. The only thing is if you do eat a lot of greesy food (ie cheese pizza, fried chicken, oily food etc) you will have leakage. It does say what it does, but you might not appreciate the side affects. The only way to…

Anytime you feel like eating something bad, put it in the nutrion calculator and figure out how long it will take you to excercise to burn off the calories. I am a chocolate junkie, and anytime I put it in the nutrional calculator and I see one fun size chocolate bar is 80 calories, I think twice. Becuase I know that is me…

Thanks for the response very useful.

Thanks for the encouragement!

add me, I am on it regularly :)

To have more protien is okay. It will keep you fuller longer, and mantain your muscle mass. Sodium intake, over will make you retain water. You should be drinking at leat eight glasses of water to get rid of the sodium. Try using dash seasoinngs, as a replacement to sodium.

Sometimes when it is that time of the month your weight sticks. Also if you are eating any food high in sodium, your body will hold on to more water. What I suggest is you eat some salads and protien for a day or two and drink at least 10 glasses of water. You should see your weight drop after the two day period. And don't…

This was a great post, and very helpful! Thank you!

At 25, stop excercise and was eating terrible. Never really learned what healthy eating is until now.

To make this easy for you , stay away from bread, rice and flour. I do the low carb high protein diet. This is my typically meal. Breakfast 3 boil egg white 1 tomatoe with sea sald 1 cup of coffee- black 4 melba toast rounds Lunch 100 grams of tiger shrimp Greek salad- no dressing or olives Jello cup Dinner 100 grams of…

We are in th same bought, that is exactly how much weight I want to loose! We can keep each other motiviatied. And remember, if you had one bad day, it is only a day, go back to your routine. Good luck!

I love the firm videos!!! And if you are in great shape px90, will kick your butt. I find the videos a lot better workout, then going to the gym and doing the treadmill for 45 minutes.

Since youare at home you need to get into a routine, if you like to snack, have six small meals rather then three big ones. And eat low calorie food. For example: Breakfast 3 egg white, with cheese, and 6 strawberries, snack jellow, with some almonds, lunch salad, with chicken breast. Dinner steam green beans, with…

I know they are some what old school, but they work, and if you do it every day for 10 days you actually see results. The firm videos. You can get them at wal-mart, blockbuster. They range from $10 to $20.00. You require a step up and a set of dumbells. But they do work, even if you do not have your nutrition part down pat…

Stay away from the chips, as there content is very high in sodium. I would try melba toast, the jello light , there is actually out thre low sodium pretzels which usually contains 1/2 the sodium then regular pretzels. Also if you prepare your own dinner, you can use Mrs. Dash seasoning for salt alternative. Good luck, hope…

I measure every two weeks. Usually a every 10 pounds you loose result in a couple inches lost. I try and measure the same time every two weeks. (ie in the morning, or at night) I was also mortified you to find out OMG my waistline is 39! Should it not be somewhere in the 28 range. But I find it motivated, it makes me want…
