Neutral meaning straight and aligned with my arm versus 90 degrees (like in a regular push up)? I hadn't thought about the using Dumbbells to change my support angles! Thanks!

Yay! Wedding weight loss! I'm getting married April 1, 2016! I'm trying to lose 15 more lbs by then (a total of 20-25 in all, and toning up) I bought my dress in May. Yeah--11 months before the wedding. I tried on about 40 dresses at 5 different stores but I kept wanting to try on this particular one at David's Bridal. The…

Me! Add me! I'm currently at 211, heaviest was 219 about 3 weeks ago. Trying to lose 50lbs, but my goal progress is 2lbs a week so it's rough. I'm getting married April 1 and need to lose 15lbs between now and then...doable but rough. Looking for exercise advice--right now I have a weekly dance class for 2 hours, PIYO…

Three eggs, fried until they are mostly hard (just kinda soft in the yolk) topped with hot sauce 1/2-3/4 cup steamed spinach 1 oz shredded cheese or goat cheese Coffee with creamer Mid day I'll have a yogurt with my coffee because I tend to eat breakfast at 6:30-7:00 and I need a little something around 10 since I don't…

Soooo women should control how much they work out and how much weight they lose to visually and physically please someone else? I'm so glad I date only women, so I don't have to hear that crap. Oh wait...

Atlanta GA looking for more LGBT MFP pals. Need motivation to exercise!

Atlanta, GA! Friend me!

Can't have regular milk because the lactose is too high. I stick to Greek yogurt and low fat cheese, about 4 servings a day. The issue I have with vitamins is that most don't absorb into your system, you pee them out. I was in search of one that someone with a similar issue might have had success with.

That doesn't really help the iron question, but thanks...

Mainly worried about carbs at this point bc I'm trying to slim down for my wedding in 3 months. I only adjusted my macros to 40% carbs versus 50%. That's not that much difference in effort but it makes a difference in the weight loss, for me anyway. My question was also about any supplements that people vouch for that…

I do cook with cast iron a couple of times a week, but I'll try upping it! I'm all for more seafood, but I don't think I can eat mollusks and oysters if I'm trying to get pregnant? I thought they were on the bad list.

I can't eat beans or pastas without blowing through my carbs for the day. I also seem to have mild IBS because the beans and gluten from pasta and bread do a number on me whenever I eat them. My partner is on the FODMAP diet for her IBS, so we tend to just cook a FODMAP friendly menu. I'm already eating about 6 handfuls of…

I like to limit my carbs to breakfast and lunch, so I'm not sleeping and digesting carbs when my metabolism is on its daily lull. Try balsamic chicken? Chicken breast tenderloins, about 12. 12-16 oz frozen green beans 1 container cherry tomatoes, halved 1 pint mushrooms, sliced Cook mushrooms in s skillet (spray with…

Indian food is also great for tofu! Palek paneer uses an Indian cheese that is similar to tofu. I like tiki masala sauce with jasmine rice and broiled tofu cubes. Yum. Tofu FTW!

#1: start with FIRM or EXTRA FIRM TOFU. Cut the block into slices about 1.5" by 3" or "nugget size". Lay them out in a single layer on a baking sheet on some towels, lay more towels on top with another baking sheet, and put heavy weights in it. I use big tins or jars of sauce, etc. leave it for a few minutes, about 10-15.…

Boil them, then mash and roast/bake with leeks or onions. The turnips can be a little bitter, but the onion cuts it. GREAT for fiber and lower carb than potatoes.

Friend me! Mines open to friends!

Kings Hawaiian rolls. I've been known to buy a 4-pack and a pint of milk at the grocery store while I'm shopping and "shame eat" them before I get home so my partner doesn't see me.

I went to one of the best running stores in Atlanta--phiddipides--and spent a good hour trying on 12 different kinds of shoes. I'm pulling out my hair because I had some laid back asics that cost $49 at TJ Maxx that did me well, until their life span ended. I felt the knee pain more with those but no foot pain. Now I'm out…

Actually, you don't have to weigh all solid foods--the the slight differences in weight and volume end up being minimally varied. The difference in estimated exercise expenditures is much more likely to be a factor than intake.

I can verify this!

Witch hazel works great to dry out excess oil.

Try eating a more fatty meal (healthy fats--avocado and olive oils) once or twice a week. Cut out some wheat and dairy. Try fish oil capsules too. They work wonders. Last advice (might be TMI, but we are talking about poop here...)--get a squatty potty or a stool to rest your feet on in front of the toilet. It helps me A…

I'm 5'7" (not too tall but taller than average) and wear a size 14 pants at 200lbs. My heaviest was 215 and a size 16-18, so I'm guessing it will take about 15lbs per size. the issue with my weight/height is that I have a LOT of muscle so I don't know what to expect when I lose "weight." I'm thinking I'll lose size rather…

We have similar goals--I want to lose a total of 30, with a goal weight of 170, size 10 jeans, by May. So far I'm down about 7-8lbs.

you look AT LEAST 15 years younger in your "after" pic!

Instead of spiral steel, go with corset steel, if you want to waist train.
