  • Love the squats and lunges! Embrace them!! I've started doing squats and lunges (narrow, skiers, wide, sumo, w/leg lifts, w/knee lifts, etc and other workouts as well (walking, boot camp x2 week, yoga, elliptical, weights, body weight training, etc...)) since February 2015 and I've pretty much dropped 2 inches everywhere…

  • You can do hills, intervals, fartlek just like running but walking instead. I can't run due to a hip/lower back issue (yes, I'm seeing a professional who got me back on my feet again and this is part of my rehab). Today, I did a 41.50 mins walk (8.50 mins/km, total of 4.85k) I use RunKeeper with a 5 mins warm up and then…
    in Does walking count as exercise?!? Ideas to burn more calories!! Comment by karinefournel April 2015
  • If I do an early morning run I don't because I know I'll be hit with nausia. If I run at lunch time I'm make sure that I have eaten 2 hours before the run or training, again not to get nausia. For race day (half-marathons) or long runs because I know I'll be running slower I can stomack a light breakfast (oatmeal, banana…
    in Do you eat before you exercise? Comment by karinefournel June 2013
  • Welcome to MFP!! I do that too mostly during the week because I bring my breakfasts, snacks & lunches. I also plan on the type of activities I will be doing and estimate the amount of calories I'll be burning so I can adjust my meals accordingly. On the weekends when I have no plans I don't plan my food ahead but I do keep…
    in Log the food before you eat it? Comment by karinefournel March 2013
  • Thank you all very much for your comments and ideas, it's very appreciated! We are bringing a plug-in cooler so we will be able to keep food that needs to be cold in it and we will be stopping over night at an hotel. We will have to wait until we cross the border in order to get fresh fruits and veggies, etc but I will…

  • I'm a mom of a boy almost 5 1/2, we decided not to have more children because my hubby had cancer during my pregnancy and the treatment was very aggresive on him. I'm starting with wanting to loose 40lbs and then we'll see. You can add me as a friend if you want. I would be more than happy to help you out.

  • Hi Jessica! Congratulations on your weight loss! That's fantastic!! Are you always eating the same things or are you mixing it up? Campbelllaura's right, mix up your exercises and also mix up your diet. Find low calories you can make at home with various foods. I also read in of the forum about going on maintenance for a…
    in Hi Everyone! Comment by karinefournel February 2013
  • Hi Amy, I'm also new on MYFP. I've never had a eating disorder but I've been battling my weight for many years and I decided that it's time to shed it off. I'm usually pretty self-motivated when I have an idea in mind but having a few friends going through the same thing I am always helps me more to achieve my/their goals.…
