CW, the OP wasn't asking about our opinions about whether to eat organic. He has made that choice. People eat organic for different reasons. I do not eat 100% organic but do my best especially with the dirty dozen. I do try to limit my processed foods as well, as you know by my diary. Be careful not to push what worked for…

I think it is very important to remember that you need to listen to your body. You will know if you are doing too much. Every person is different. I incorporate my cardio in between my lifting per a suggestion from a trainer friend. I do one circuit then cardio for 10 minutes (burpies, sprints, running stairs, kettle ball…

I do something similar. I do 5 exercises everytime I go to the gym usually every other day. I do a warm up and a core then start with my 1st exercise, usually squats, deadlifts or lunges. I do 15 reps then move to the 2nd exercise. I go thru all five ex. doing 15 reps at a low weight. I do all five ex. again for 12 reps at…

THIS!!!!

I highly recommend The New Rules for Life. I emailed the author and asked him a lot of questions and he said if u want to lose weight then start with his Life book then move on to his NROL for women. They are easy to read books and great exercises. I have lost 40 pounds since starting his books and lifting plus my body…

I drink mine with 1oz of coconut milk and 1 Tbls of raw honey! Yummmmm.

I did low carb years ago but couldn't keep the weight off. To me, and this is just my opinion, it is more important to me to be able to eat a healthy diet comprised of everything than to eliminate good carbs which I enjoy. I love my fruit and brown rice. Now, I am a truly believer in eating the GOOD carbs: sweet potatoes,…

DRY!!! The flavor is such much better if it sits over night so the spices can marry! NOW I need me some ribs. Shoot!

bump! Thanks for all the ideas guys. Loving this thread.

oh oh oh, I like this!!!

Your body is starving. You are NOT eating enough.

That is so wonderful. You were beautiful at your high weight but WOW at your goal weight. Way to GO!

I love The New Rules of Lifting series! They are easy to understand and work! I have used NROLfor Life and for Women. They both rock!

Wow! That was sweet. Thanks for posting.

Way to go! I did the same pictures as you in the beginning. I take pics about every 2 months. I almost cried when I saw the first ones. You inspire me!

Thank you for the video! You are an inspiration. Keep it up. I know your family will love having you around for a very long time!

About 4 weeks ago, a lady (Idid not know her) at my gym came up to me and said she had been watching me and noticed that I was really losing weight. THEN, about 2 weeks ago a man (I didn't know) came up to me and said that he had noticed that since he had started the gym back in April that I had lost weight and was looking…

Incredible!!!! You look so much younger. Beautiful pics! Did your hubby lose weight too?

Do u have loose skin from the weight loss? Sorry if this question has been asked. I didnt have time to read all the pages.

I cannot wait to get to my driver's license weight!!!! Woo hoo!! 45 more pounds.

My husband and I both use a polar FT7. We both lift heavy and do cardio. He burns a whole lot more than I do. We use them just as a help in our caloric intake. I am sure they aren't completely accurate buy I am steadily losing weight and hubby is looking great! So, I feel they are accurate enough to help us with our food…

You will get lots of opinions on here and most are only opinions including mine. U also have a bunch of unkind people. Do what works for u. No need to argue on these forums. It never helps.

Well, I honestly think it is important to eat all day. I eat 6 meals a day.....meals doesn't mean a lot of food, it could be yogurt and nuts or tuna and pretzels. It is good for your metabolism if u eat all day and drink tons of water. I have never heard any weight loss guru encourage u not to eat 4-6 meals a day.

Feel free to add me. I have been here since April 2013, log everything I put in my mouth, lift heavy and do cardio. I. Keep only open diary friends therefore I do not keep many friends.

Bump

In 2012, I took them. They did work and I lost 30 lbs. But when I stopped taking them I gained slowly my weight back. But part of that was not eating correctly. However, I have now lost that 30 +5 more I feel the right way. I have followed MFP on the calories end, made adjustments to my macros, exercise and I am losing! I…

Wow!!! You rock!!

Encouraging!!!! Keep it up. U look amazing!

You are in inspiration!! I am so proud for you and your wife!

I am a MFP snob. I won't accept friends who do not have open diaries. I have learned so much from my friends and gotten ideas for food. I hope that my diary also helps my friends.
