I have 4 kids ages 7-2, I can honestly say that exercise is what keeps me sane. I go to the gym, give my kids to the day care and enjoy my work out with no one calling my name all the time. And some times I go to the gym to just sit in the massage chairs LOL... or enjoy sauna. Again, just to enjoy me time. I love…

this is offensive post! You are subjecting people to this non-sense, on the website where self esteem may be an issue.

What do you mean Strength training burns very little calories, almost non? - THAT IS ABSOLUTE LIE! Here is my non-solicited advice :) Talk to a dietician. Snacking is not bad, depends on what you snack on and you also have to get used to eating less, so don't go crazy. You seem tense... Take up Hot yoga - that will help…

I am living thanks to my dieting. I learn to love the foods I eat. I learned to cook the way I would enjoy eating. Its all a process. An alcoholic would not be happy being sober, until he/she realizes and learns to live with out it... I have been eating garbage and was getting more and more unhealthy. Being sick is not…

Don't be frustrated. Its only been a month. You did not put on the weight over one month so don't expect it to come down in one month. Change your thinking. Do it for your health. Eating well and moving is amazing. Its great that you asking for help. Your best help would be a dietician. I know you have to pay money, but…

YES!!! this is my kind of group, I fight hunger every day! and its not eve hunger but just not satisfied from the foods I eat. I just want to bite into something salty and greasy...BUT have to make good choices...EVERY TIME. Find that motivation! stay with it, IT WILL GET EASIER. 1 day at a time...

much better then laying on the couch! go for it and if or when it gets old switch to something new. Plus, talk to your personal trainer, he/she sees you and how you progress and will suggest new avenues as you take this journey! Good luck and remember ANYTHING IS BETTER THEN NOTHING!

Here is a great web site to learn about vegetables and fruits and juicing. http://juicing-for-health.com/healing-vegetables.html

This is something you need to sit down and create for yourself. Brain storm. look at recipes you maybe interested in. Don't make it complicated. Grocery list - basics. Start a diary and maybe on the front page write a list of things you pick up every week and prep. So snacking would include: nuts/seeds, carrots, sugar free…

Also to curb your sweet tooth - drink celery juice. - soooo good for you. I know you may wonder how that curb your sweet tooth? you can find answere at this web site. there are ton of vegie juices that will curb your sweet tooth. http://juicing-for-health.com/healing-vegetables.html - INFO ON VEG

- mix salsa and hummus - as a dip. or hummus and roasted red peppers out of the jar (just cut them up and throw them in the hummus) ENJOY! - egg whites omelet with slice of roasted chicken or turkey breast deli meat ! so good. roll it in a letus instead of pita gives it an added crunch those are my 2 fav things

You are in the right place. These are the right people you surround yourself with. Most of us go through similar challenges. You are DEFINATELY not alone! That's why I Love MFP. When I loose my way I look at success stories and they motivate me. I do that almost on weekly bases. Whether you are ready to start again or not…

Use a Heart Rate monitor for best and most accurate answer for your body on any given day in any conditions under any stress or workout :)

Find another doctor! Asap! Sorry to hear about your struggle. To be honest my colleague suffers from rheumatory arthritis and he was forbidden to run. Or do any physical joint impacting exercise. If it hurts, you should listen. Pain killers are just to numb our brain. Its not a cure . Same with pot. Please consider…

I think at this age that the kids are in you should only talk to parents. It really does not matter how you do it... it may upset them. But ofcaurse the more sympathetic you are the better. Have parents join MFP just to see what they are doing to the kidds when their diets are concern. AND yes THEY KNOW... they just need…

Well thats three meals and two snacks and if you substitute two out of three meals woth shakes you r left with one meal. I was not missinformed

Well said!

Try to look up on the back of the strawberry container in the store and compare different brands. See if they all say the same or similar carb count. If so just use what best describes it at mfp database or create your own. Or just scan the bar code on the cntainer.

I am on it. Because just like you i have a friend who sells it and does it. So yes i kinda felt like pressured into buying it. She has made this sound so magical so i gave it a try. I bought it once and will not do it again. I am sick of it. Yes you will loose some weight, who would not if you only allowed to eat one meal…

On a 1200 cal diet - 200 cals is a big deal!

LOL, i dont think it works that way, that if you save ex amount of cals you can eat them next day LOL, But Chocolate does sound appealing.

On April 2, 2009, an FDA advisory panel reviewed the significance of malignant C-cell carcinoma and thyroid C-cell focal hyperplasia in rats and mice. Some say the tumors were caused by a nongenotoxic, specific receptor-mediated mechanism to which rodents are particularly sensitive, whereas nonhuman primates and humans are…

You know, when I go to the gym I always bring my HRM. However, I use it just until i hit my callorie goal. So if i goal for the day to burn 700 cals that is when i stop it. Wether HRM spot on accurate or as some people say unreliable chances are they are a great etimate of your work out. Whatever i do after my calorie goal…

I had a dental surgery too and was on smoothy diet for a few days. You will see the post surgery is not so bad. I was eating oatmeals with a little extra liquid (water, milk, almond milk), and crushed berries. i love oatmeal. Soups are great. I do butter nut squash soop or roasted red pepper soups its awasome. Fish is…

Please dont be offended, but most articles in magazines are rarely backed up by reserch. Most of the time "the magazine" needs to publish an issue and " a writer" just does a quick reserch online and formulates her or his oppinionm. Not to say that some or most of it is true or false. I think now a days HR monitors are…

I have MIO. I like it but the dam battery keeps on dying. So NOT MIO - i am considering switching....

I must say, that my eliptical does not even go to level 17/20 so i work out on 10/10 doing interval trainig. I also wear my HR monitor watch and band with personal settings updated all the time. I must say what ever my eliptical shows so does my watch give ot take 10-20 cals. So i am prettu sure you can totally lose 1200…

I think you know that its skin. However, it seems like you still pemTure in your assesment. Do not be too critical of your self. You are loosing fat so yes the skin will sag. But once you are happy with your TOTAL weight loss and you accomplished your goal, you will reasses and do what is right for you. You look and doing…

That is incredible!!! Congrats
