  • For those of you that have a protein shake before a workout, do you have one after too?? I've always been told that a protein shake AFTER a workout will help build lean muscle. I don't know that I could do two shakes in one day - mine are super filling (Apexx Lite is the protein powder I buy).

  • I used to weigh myself once a day - but then I found that I was becoming CONSUMED by it. For now, I'm weighing myself once a week, first thing in the morning after going to the bathroom. Eventually I will get back to weighing everyday but since I'm just starting out (again) I feel more effective when I see a bigger weight…

  • For me, I know that if I try to ignore my cravings and NOT indulge just a little bit, I'll go binge on something even worse. So first, I will try to drink some water - much like the others - but then I will have just a bite or two of whatever it is that I'm craving. Most of the time, those few bits do it for me! There's no…

  • Welcome! I'm fairly new to MFP too - I tried it last year and for some reason stopped. I had previously lost about 60 pounds with Weight Watchers and I LOVED IT but I stopped tracking, got a new desk job and unfortunately, gained ALL of it back. So here I am, STARTING OVER! There was a forum post earlier today that talked…

  • I too, struggle like you. The thought of dieting forever?! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! I definitely agree though - one day at a time. Focus on what your goals are for today (I also think it's safe to set short term realistic goals for the near future too) and it seems far less daunting. So, for today - I will make healthy food…

  • I go to a pretty nice gym (24HourFitness). I don't pay a whole lot of money for monthly dues but there are a lot of members. The gym itself has a "loft-like" feel with exposed ductwork. They have PLENTY of income but the ducts and the fans in the gym are always dusty! I realize it's a lot of work to keep them clean but in…

  • HONEYCRISP! They're only available (in my area, anyway) toward the end of summer, through fall and early winter. Worth the wait though - they're the very best!!

  • Hey! I'm pretty new too and it's always nice to have support! Hopefully you like the site and find it useful. All I can say is really commit to sticking to it. I used MFP for a while last year and just got away from doing it. Needless to say, I'm back and it's not because I LOST weight. Please feel free to add me as a…

  • Totally understandable! I don't have children yet either - but I am also trying to lose weight in order to have a happy, healthy pregnancy (someday). The smaller you are to begin with though, hopefully the easier it will be to lose it. Also, since it's on your "radar" you'll probably try harder to maintain a healthy…
