  • Hello everyone. Steve, I'm in the same boat. I returned to mfp 3 weeks ago, after a year long hiatus. Unfortunately, within that year, I gained about 30 pounds due to family issues. Now that I am back, I plan to stick with my weight loss goals.
  • I'm in the same position. I'm losing the fat in my legs, but my belly still seems to be sitting there. I once read that you lose weight (fat) in the reverse order in how you gained or put on the weight. So if you gain weight in your belly first, that is the last place where you will start to see any losses. For instance,…
  • I use Tae Bo with Billy Blank. Great for overall total body workout (plus cardio).
  • Way to go Martino78!!!!!!!
  • Jester, I agree. It's okay to be at a deficit from time to time, but not all of the time. My hang up is that people become so fixated on calorie counting instead of looking at the whole picture. As far as the potatoes, I am not a big fan of potatoes. And I only used the bananas because that is what I already had in my…
  • Exactly. . . In a nutshell As far as the bananas, they were just something I already had in my kitchen that I knew would help in my potassium-seeking mission. I refuse to go out and buy food that I would not normally buy. I am learning how to use the food I already have and am accustomed to purchasing to make better food…

But there are some people who will fill up on calories, and still not get the nutrients their body needs. So calories will not always trump nutrients 100% of the time. There are good calories and calories.…
  • I'm new to MFP, but glad you're back. I went on a 2-month binge and realized that my body wasn't feeling right. So I know what you mean. I sent you a friend invite.
  • Thanks for your support.
  • Great group. Looking forward to shedding those pounds with you. Dystonia Girl, how do we add our name to the spreadsheet? It appears to be locked. Are we going by the number of pounds lost or the percentage of the loss to Initial weigh-in?
  • Hi everyone, I'm new here. Just signed up on Sept. 26, 2013. I'm 43 and am looking for motivational friends. Working together, we can accomplish our goals
  • I would love to lose 25-30 pounds. That would put me at 130-135 lbs. It would be great if I could reach my goal before Thanksgiving. This way I won't feel so bad when I stuff my gutt on Thanksgiving day.:smile:
