Could be the types of foods you're eating, im not full from a spoonful of rice or a bowl of it either. however when i eat things with a lot of protein or carbs i do.

This isnt the most supportive place i've seen for sure. I personally try to give help/advice that is from my own experience or from factual information i've read, which I dont feel is the norm on here. Best Advice i can give for MFP is weigh and measure everything you eat and log it. I've found if i can cook a bunch of…

My advice, stay away from those diets unless you plan on doing it the rest of your life. the heaviest i was when i did the Atkins diet and stopped, i put on all the weight i lost plus 15 lbs. Now i just count calories on myfitnesspal and try to keep my macros at least close to where they should be.

I love how so many people give advice like they are doctors on here. it's one thing to give an opinion, but dont state it like its a fact.

one of the goals i've set is to finish the couch to 5k program (on week 7 of 9) i found that if i have a program like that where there is a start and finish, i'm more likely to complete it, after completing it, my goal will be to do it in less time using a 5k time improvement program. other goals i've had where ones like…

Congrats! I did that last week and had anxiety but did it, except I'm doing distance not timed so it was actually 24-25 minutes for me.

Make your life easier and get a heart rate monitor that counts calories burned, I prefer my polar F7, but the F4 will work too.

Check out DDP-YOGA

Congrats, I'm sure that will help them.

Large Salad with Grilled chicken. In my experience protein is what keeps me from feeling hungry

Measuring yourself is optional. for me it was just another way to show me my success in numbers, and i'm glad i've done it since the start. i only measure myself about once a month, because it seems to notice any change thats about how long it takes.

i know how ya feel, i try to drink a gallon a day, often times i drink a bit more then that on days im at work, and i have to urinate all the time, I have to get up from sleeping 2-3x now to go to the bathroom now, it sucks! but i noticed when i dont drink enough my weight loss seems to slow.

It happens. theres a lot of factors that it could be, one of the biggest i've seen personally is water retention from working out and/or eating too much sodium. just keep doing what you're doing and the weight will drop, just dont expect it to keep going at the same pace every week, it just doesnt work like that, trust me.

Thanks guys, looking forward to finishing this plan in 4 weeks, and i'll post my finish. it's a great feeling to hear people today that i know that are in seemingly better shape and much thinner tell me they couldnt do it :)

wish that group was started last september when i started MFP. :(

push ups are more for your chest then arms, for you arms try bicep curls and tricep extensions. try a google search for bicep/triceps workouts. they might yield better results. also results arent going to happen overnight, plan on at least 6 weeks to see improvement.

at least a gallon usually. only time i've drank more is in the summer when im at work or something and sweat a lot.

it works great if you plan on doing it forever. i did the atkins diet, lost 72lbs in 3 months, took no time to put back on 84lbs. your mileage may vary.

I'm one of those people yet i dont have a deficiency

how is that extremely common unless If you dont see the sun, suffer from milk allergies, or adhere to a strict vegetarian diet?

Only way i've found to keep my sodium down (which isnt easy) dont eat things out of boxes or cans. also, when i started my doctor set me at 2000 calories MFP had me at around 2700, i work on an assembly line for 10-11hrs a day and at this point MFP has me at 2100, i still dont eat that many even when i work out. im usually…

For me if i can back in i will because i am pretty good at it and it seems to me that its easier to pull out of a spot rather then backout, because i can look for people/cars easier then if i have to have my head turned around.

I just used youtube videos, heres a link to the ones i was following, seems good for beginner through intermediate. http://www.youtube.com/user/chichihealthfitness I also recommend checking out https://www.onnit.com/dvds/

I've been using a Polar F7 HRM, best investment i've made. i use it every workout. I definately recommend Polar and make sure you get a chest strap, a lot more accurate.

as far as workouts at home for toning, Kettle bells are great full body exercise (come in different weights, use a smaller one for just toning), also yoga (I'd suggest DDP Yoga)

I've used mapmywalk/ride/run etc. in the past and liked them a lot, not sure i'd use anything but those. i recently started using rundouble for the Couch to 5k im working up to and like that a lot also, it also does manual runs. I dont know about the treadmill but from what i've read the treadmill is easier then outdoors,…

curious why you wouldnt just use MFP instead of WW. seems like more work to combine 2 things that essentially do the same thing.

Water is what does it for me, i often dont drink enough before/during workouts but feel fine after i re-hydrate.

If i didnt trust my doctors scale, i wouldnt trust my doctor either. they use that scale to figure out treatments, dosages etc. my doctors offices scale is calibrated by the main hospital every week. and my eatsmart scale is pretty close to his.

+100!
