Best advice.

Thanks :) lol

Very interesting post, took me a while to figure it out too!! Here's how I'd explain it - and I did this for me also!! I'm open to corrections obviously! 1lb of fat on your body = 3500 calories (stored energy). ======== How much to lose weight? Being alive = 2000 calories (aka Your basic metabolic rate, or "BMR") Running…

Are you taking any supplements that might be throwing you off balance? Its worth going to see doc and explain any major lifestye changes you've made. And I agree - you should not take birth control pills for acne! lol Personally I have suffered from Rosacea for about eight years, and no one knows what causes this - though…

If you're not overweight but still think there's work to do then perhaps exercise/toning/fitness is for you - it's worth researching. If you're on facebook check out the images at "Fit Behaviour" - if you find them inspiring then there's your answer. Good luck :)

LOL!! girl you are SO right haha x

re: skinny profile pics - it could also be a picture of who inspires them or the shape they aspire to.

I have 146 lbs to lose. So you ain't all that :) Welcome, hello. Goodluck :) Oh and please add me if you like :)

And yeah, legs. Your ARMS are about as long as my stumpys lol

You look amazing. Yes my trainer recently told me this (as I told him I did NOT want to end up looking like a russian shot-putter) that the "lifting heavy makes you bulky" is a myth. Actually lifting heavier makes your body work harder to recover i.e. burn more calories. Though thee must be some truth in it otherwise how…

In UK, have over 100lbs to lose, am 41, 5ft tall and hovering around 270lbs. I'm setting short goals like exercise and habit-changes and taking one day at a time. Wouldn't mind a few committed buddies - feel free to add me. Sporadic MFP user but getting more regular. "In a years time you'll wish you started today". :)

Heehee! I don't want that shrinkage either! I think though probably fat on your back and shoulders rather than boobs. I definitely don't want to be buying the chicken fillets! lol

My 20th workout today since 9th April. I am working out 3 times per week (couple of weeks was 2) with a trainer who comes to my house. My goal aside from the SV's is to make exercise part of my life. Since 9th April I can now: - go a whole day without remotely feeling like a nap - I'm sleeping way better at night - Don't…

Wow, the Laws in this country just wouldn't let employers get anywhere NEAR what you're describing; there'd be war! That's amazing and grossly unfair. What does the Law say there?

I've had a lap band for 2 years. I did an AWFUL lot of research before I chose this option - this is what I learned: Weight-loss surgery techniques are mostly suited to how overweight/in danger your health is because of your weight: Balloon: reversible, least invasive: Obese Gastric Band: not reversible (only to bypass),…
