You can do it, and it's so much fun. I recommend going to bodybuilding.com and check out the beginner programs. You can also download the app to your phone and take it to the gym with you. I recently did a beginner program with Jamie Eason. It was a great segway into lifting. Good luck!

I too had a menu shocker today at PF Changs. 1380 calories for the shrimp and candied walnuts. What a crime!

First of all, you are not dumb. Nutrition can be complex, that's why there are people who spend 4 - 6 years studying the topic and become professional nutritionists. I would first start with the guidance the MFP uses. Go back and set up your to when you first set up your profile, make sure your height, weight, activity…

I have had the Gastric Sleeve at the age of 50. There are definitely pro's and con's and if I could have lost the weight WITHOUT the surgery I would have. I wish I had found MFP BEFORE I had the surgery. I use it faithfully now. Bottom line, is I still have to exercise, watch what I eat, limit my caloric intake POST…

Hi, I agree with increasing your caloric intake. In the meantime, I recommend the following supplements: Fish-oil and BIOTIN (for the hair loss). It's recommended for cancer patients when they lose their hair during chemotherapy...... Anyway, good luck to you.

Hi, please don't be discouraged. You are a beautiful woman, and it sounds as if your husband truly cares for you. Take one day at a time, if you have to, take it one hour or meal at a time. Make small changes. If you mess up, start again at the next meal; DON'T wait a full day. YOU CAN DO THIS!!!! I'm concerned about the…

Quest bars are the best bars out there calorie/flavor wise. I get mine at GNC and they are usually on sale buy one get one off (the box) or buy 3 bars get the fourth free. But check around. I've tried all the other bars mentioned on this thread, I found them to be nasty tasting. You are bound to find a flavor you like with…

first of all congratulate yourself in taking the first steps towards becoming healthy. have you tried crystal light instead of soda? Yes, it does have artificial sweetners, but it's better than raw sugar for now. My fitness pal has a lot of inspirational stories, I read them to stay motivated. try replacing one soda with a…

Add a high quality whey protein to your diet, like UNJURY. or go to a local vitamin shop and try a months worth of protein powder and add it to almond milk to keep the calories low. UNJURY is the best, you order thru the manufacturers website at www.unjury.com

I have the same issue, I just purchased an Ennel bra based on the reviews found here. It ships in 3 days, I'll let you know what I think of it when I receive it.

You look fab, keep up the good work. Try to keep negativity out of your vocabulary. You can def. tell the difference in the pics.

good luck, you can do it, and you will find wonderful support in the MFP community. feel free to add me as a friend.

Great job!

Great job, what an inspiration you are.
