They are fit because they work out. It's not their fault you are just getting started. Focus on you but learn from them. But, use them as motivation. When I started I didn't go look for the fat guy to motivate or me to run, lift or bike. I talked to the people that had been doing it for a long time and knew what they were…

Thank you again everyone :heart:

Thank you! To start lifting I first started with body weight exercises and read New Rules of Lifting for Women, Starting Strength, and luckily I have a couple good friends that helped me learn proper form. I also joined the eat, train, progress group on here so I could lurk and read the great advice Sarah and SideSteel…

I :heart: this post!

Yes I think going to someone's BBQ on a holiday and bringing your own food and enough for just you is rude. I would bring a dish to share, and then eat all the good food. It's a holiday and you are celebrating it with family, enjoy it. It's one day and will not ruin any progress.

What's wrong with a 1000 calorie dinner?? Now I would be cautious cause your calorie burns seem high, but I would definitely be eating a big dinner and ice cream... it works

Lemon Butter Grouper fillet, Crabmeat stuffed portobella mushrooms, roasted red potatoes and salted caramel ice cream :)

I lost most of my weight before getting one, but I love having my flex, it's tells me the truth about how active or inactive I am being. More active = More food :drinker:

Well then can you explain how he is detoxing himself of carbs while eating them? Is that like a vaccine shot we'll give you some .. I don't know sounds pretty ridiculous to me. And losing for a contest is just as ridiculous.

Since you have medical issues I would consult with your doctor on the best exercises for you. Aquatic might be good but I would definitely work with your doctor.

So what is the killer part... I just want to make sure I understand. Since my health markers have been very carefully monitored by 3 physicians over the past 18 months that I have been doing this. Every single one of them has improved. Blood work, EKG, PFT, you get the idea. And in the past 18 months I've eaten a pretty…

Any cakes, cookies or other processed food you don't want you can send my way. OP unless you have a medical condition that you need to monitor your sugar for... I would not bother tracking sugar and switch to fiber :) Now who's got the cookies and cake that's what I came in here for

Without an ice cream maker you can try this: Switch out the half n half and milk for all heavy whipping cream one 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk You have to whip the cream until stiff peaks form Add half the can of sweetened condensed milk, vanilla and fold gently to combine. After it's combined, add the remaining…

Deb, Instead of restarting on yet another quick fix type diet, how about saving your money, log your food here, eat at a reasonable deficit, do some activity, and work on developing good habits. Log your food accurately and honestly. Go for 80% good choices the other 20% don't worry so much about. I eat lots of delicious…

Welcome! You can lose the weight. It takes lots of patience and consistency but it can be done. Good Luck to you! Read this success story: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1103164-3-yrs-312lbs-lost-1yr-from-bodylift-and-maintenance Log your food accurately and honestly. Go for 80% good choices the other 20% don't…

When my weight loss stalled it was because I was not accurately logging, slacked on weighing my portions. So nope won't agree. You are asking for advice without giving the information needed to help. If you aren't losing most likely you are eating more than you think are not in a calorie deficit. Or you have a medical…

So how do you think we can give you any advice or assistance? Best thing bring your paper logging to your doctor explain your goals show them your logs and get their opinion.

So let me understand, You started May 14th you logged until June 9th... You lost 7 lbs during this time, you stopped logging and now you have lost no weight? And you can't figure out the key thing you are missing? I haven't bothered to look at your diary since you can't be bothered to log.

Motivation comes and goes, when you are motivated is when you need to be building good habits that you can continue. Logging consistently get into the habit, workouts make them part of your routine. Of course it's easier when everything is going well, that's normal in everything we do. But hanging in there when it's not is…

1. Nope don't eat it except for the once a month Sunday breakfast hubby and I go out for 2. 113 pounds 3. No it does not jumpstart your metabolism, it's all about calorie deficit and is personal preference on when you like to consume your calories

Just peeked quickly at your diary... you ate 4.5 blackberries? 1/4 teaspoon honey? 1 oz of a homemade brownie? But to increase calories stop using the fat free stuff, eat some peanut butter, nuts, or calorie dense foods. But I would suggest you take a look at the accurate logging link I posted because there are some issues…

I vow to eat all the foods I enjoy while maintaining my reasonable deficit and to end every night with at least 1 serving of ice cream. Log your food accurately and honestly. Go for 80% good choices the other 20% don't worry so much about. I eat lots of delicious food and have consistently lost. Keep it simple find a…

Don't follow this quick weight loss is not healthy and very stupid to post here

So if you had to ask you already no it's not a good idea. But let's think about this, you have 17 lbs to lose, you want to do cardio 6 days a week while eating just fruit..... you are young enough you should remember health class they talked about nutrition at least for 30 minutes right? Is fruit going to give you the…

Love this post so much I would make you that Peanut Butter Ice cream and not even take a bite.. well maybe for quality control!!

Read this thread .. if you want it or work for it. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1338754-three-years-ago-today-i-came-home-from-rehab

Is the thread for the 1 person I would like to punch still going I think I made my pick

OP I have to say every time you post it's just another excuse or easy way out or another way to try and make this more difficult than it is to begin with. You've got more excuses than my kids had for why they didn't clean their rooms when they were younger. So please stop trying to find the easy way and either put in the…

This is just crap and annoys the hell out of me! As someone that did have severe health issues that most were because of my weight, to be promoting "Yay scales" or whatever that crap was is not helping. It's a cop out. I'm all for loving yourself no matter what your physical appearance is but not acknowledging and…

You haven't been insulted, your claims with nothing to support them have been criticized. As for thinking you have been here almost a year let's see right under your picture it says Aug 2013 that would be just shy of a year. You also haven't been insulted, if you believe so vehemently then you should be able to show…
