I just started lifting weights using www.muscleandfitness.com they have free workout plans for everyone including beginners, men and women. If you don't have lots of equipment like me use body weight exercises.

If you have not already, Be sure to check with your doctor. Many people jump into an exercise program without knowing limits or thier health condition. Taking a stress test under controlled conditions would ensure you are healthy to do the things you plan to do. Having a doctor know your plans also helps with…

could be not leaving to rise long enough before putting in oven. Also cooking temperature could be too high if its well done on outside.

Totally agree on this. The whole thing is scientist and doctors had to come up with a way to categorize this weight control problem so they could treat it and get paid as a professional and so the term and disease "obesity" was born.

I haven't eaten McDonald's for several months. Also for some reason I've lost the urge for drinking sodas and it's great to be free of those useless sugars. It's hard to cut vices out of our program but the OP is right....so get of your lazy butts and get it right this time.

Any incite on diet would be helpful...I'm trying to keep my cholesterol in check so I'm limiting fatty meats like no beef and no pork, no egg yolks. For exercise so far I starter bike…

I'm just starting out. My goal is to loose fat and get more muscular. I'm a bit confused on food labels. When reading and weight food labels, are those serving sizes considered cooked or dry measurements? For e.g oatmeal serving size is 1 cup, so I usually measure a dry cup and cook that in water with no additives. But you…

natural sugar? no such thing. Its all processes in some way of form unless you can pick it from a tree.
