I haven't read the article but I have found in the past that lack of sleep definitely affects my weight loss. As Robert Ludlum was fond of saying "Sleep is a weapon."

Hi Josh, Welcome to MFP and THANK YOU!!! for your service to our country!

Have a look at this thread: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/654536-in-place-of-a-road-map-2-0-revised-7-2-12

I could do without cottage cheese for a while but I'd really miss the protein so I put on my big girl panties and deal.

Are you different online vs offline? Nope. What you see is what you get, online or off. Are other people you've met different from one platform to the other? Depends on the person. I've seen it go both ways. I belong to a reader forum and have met at least 30 of the online members in person. One thing I've found to be…

I have a bichon/maltese mix and feed him Wellness Small Breed. He loves it and it's significantly cleared up the tear-staining around his eyes. I also give him raw veggies (he LOVES lettuce and broccoli) and some fruit during the week. Sometimes he gets tuna and other meats as well.

Awww, thank you!! Aren't you sweet! I was thinking my numbers were pretty 'bottom of the barrel' at the moment. But I'm enjoying it and I'm making progress so I'm happy. I won't even tell you what my Overhead and Bench Presses are...unless you need a good laugh ;).

Got room in that cave for me? I'd never had avocado before reading about it here so I bought one a couple of weeks ago. One word: BLECH!!!! But I'll add in Chobani, Liver, Salmon and Mushrooms :(.

I'll speak up for the wimpy section ;)... A year of chemo and radiation played havoc with my body and my muscle strength was shot. I started lifting on 9/8/12 and started out with just body weight. The following week I squatted with just the barbell (non-olympic probably weighs about 6 lbs) and two 4.4 lbs weights. I'm…

My mother left our family when I was 13 so my brother (then 6) and I were raised by our father. I'm 49 now and 3 years ago I was diagnosed with cancer. As happens to most folks, when I started chemo I lost my hair. As soon as it started to fall out my dad sent me an email (he lives 70 miles from me)....the email was a…

Do you find you have trouble with the soles of the shoes being too grippy? I've recently given up on my shoes because they are too 'tacky' on the mat and I can't pivot or spin easily.

I'm 49 and on a mission to be fit by my 50th birthday next year. That's my birthday present to myself. I started lifting weights a few weeks ago and am loving it. Reading through NROLFW and looking forward to improving my routine. Always looking for more friends and support and love to help motivate others.

Fantastic!! You go girl!

I was thinking of you the whole time I was reading this post! LOL

We have a Bichon/Maltese named Max...

Close, it's the other way around. Trader Joe's is owned by Aldi's. "When Kart and Theo Albrecht split the company to form Aldi Nord (North) and Aldi Süd (South) in 1960, they also split their global ambitions. Today there are about 4981 stores that belong to Aldi North and 4504 stores that belong to Aldi South. In addition…

Here are few other links to some threads I found particularly helpful. No particular order, just copied the links as I found them while reading threads... SHBoss1673: TOPIC: Expectations http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/9433-expectations SHBoss1673: TOPIC: For those confused or questioning “Eating your exercise…

I'll concede that it was incomplete. I assumed folks could infer the meaning based on a shorter response. Guess I was wrong.

No, I didn't. I was talking about calories and volume of food and how after eating both you (presumably) feel full and are unable to eat any more. And how eating one will get you closer to your calorie goal than the other. So I can understand how it can be difficult to meet minimum daily caloric needs when you change your…

I wasn't saying 'fat makes you fat'. I was comparing a 900 calorie meal to a 240 calorie meal. Maybe you ought to read more carefully, or better yet, ask for clarification before jumping down someone's throat.

Then let me help you understand...you gain weight eating junk. You can eat a greasy cheeseburger that has 900 calories and 44g of fat or you can eat 6 oz of boneless, skinless chicken breast that has 240 calories and 3g of fat. Both meals will fill you up so you you can't eat anymore. One will pile on the pounds and the…

I find this as well.

To see the calories burned, press 'Mode' until you are in "HRM" mode. Then press 'View' to cycle through the info collected during your workout. Calories burned is in the third info set.

I am 49, post cancer, post menopausal (thank you chemo) and 2 1/2 yrs in on Tamoxifen. Doc says Tamoxifen makes weight loss very difficult. I'm out to prove him wrong. Cancer took a year of my life. It can't have any more. I'm going to be in the best shape of my life by my 50th birthday. Failure is not an option.

Thanks for all the recipes! These are awesome!!

This was mine this morning: Crowley - Nonfat Pineapple Cottage Cheese, 3/8 cup (3/4 of a serving) Generic - Skippy Super Chunk, 1 Tbsp Thomas - Light Hearty Multigrain English Muffins, 0.5 muffins Wegmans - 2% Reduced Fat Milk, 1/2 cup Cals: 270 Carbs: 30 g Fat: 12 g Protein: 20 g

Hi Tony, I had posted this in one of the groups but haven't gotten a reply and wonder if you could give me your opinion... A little background: I am what some folks refer to as skinny fat. I weigh 135 right now, look just fine in clothes as long as it's jeans and long sleeves. I don't do shorts cuz it's darned scary! LOL…
