  • That goal looks to be somewhere around 80-90lbs total and 3-4 lbs a week if my math is correct. (My math isn't the greatest so I could TOTALLY be way wrong) 3 - 4 lbs a week seems a little aggressive to me. So I recommend that you look at that. Double check my math and make sure your goals are realistic and sustainable. I…
  • Work Clothes to Work OUT Clothes to shower...then PJS!!!!! I lounge in my PJs all night. UNLESS...I have somewhere I need to go. Then I will throw on jeans and a hoodie.
  • You hate ALL veggies??? ALL of them? Regardless of how they are prepared? I find that very hard to believe. I have never found ANYONE who hates ALL veggies. They usually like at LEAST corn...which doesn't count but you get my drift. I think maybe someone tried to force to to eat them as a child and you dug your heels in…
  • Popcorn. But I love that so much that I try to budget for it. If I'm craving sweet...I treat myself to chocolate. If I'm not craving anything...peanut butter.
  • I don't know the answer but I am sure glad that I was not the only one that noticed this. I thought it was just me being slow.
  • If this is the list of foods you should avoid...not bad! I don't know about your diet but the only thing on that list that may cause me some discomfort is potatoes but I am pretty much reducing those down to nothing since the calorie value is to high for how long they actually stick with me.
  • I am feeling pretty discouraged today as well. Big hugs likecaramel! I am refusing to give up and am anxious to hear what insight you are given.
  • # of servings? size of serving? how many calories per serving?
  • THANK YOU for posting this! I ran accross this about a month ago and when I went back to find it so I could make it I couldn't find it. YAY!! I can't wait to try it! :flowerforyou:
  • I don't even like donuts and now I want one. or at least a vat of chocolate....lol
  • Go ahead an eat it because I am absolutely SURE that you love to work your butt off at the gym. If you eat that donut, you will get to work even harder at the gym. So go ahead...enjoy the donut and the workout afterword. Personally...I don't eat donuts because I am lazy. DUH! That is how I got so fat. If I wasn't lazy then…
  • I am only a month in and have lost 4 lbs...1 lb per week which is exactly my goal. If you check my logs...I am all over the place. One day I eat real well...the next I don't...one day I work out like a mad woman and the next I sit on the couch. I don't worry about it. I pay attention to what is going into my mouth and…
  • I agree. I switched from regular coffee with tons of sugar to "black" green tea. I enjoy green tea plain without anything in it. I used to have to put sugar in my coffee to make it palitable. Saving calories just with that. Keep up the good work! I am learning that finding little replacements like that is making a big…
  • Mind if I friend you? I am currently almost exactly your stats with similar goals. Mine is 135 but I haven't been down that far since I was a teen so I just might get there and want to go further. I am 186 working toward 135 44 - 37- 48 between 14 and 16 myself
  • I like this!!!
  • Befroe MFP, I never ate breakfast. Then I would be starving at 10AM counting the minutes until my lunch break. I have started buying and eating Special K meal bars in the morning on my way into work. They are super yummy and I can take it on the go and I can chew it. (I don't like drinking my food) If I am not ready for it…
  • For me the BLTs are what make this site so powerful to me. I am way to lazy to log every BLT that i used to take and I am way to honest to NOT log them...so each time I am tempted I have to make a choice. Be dishonest? Or Log it? Or...pass on it. I 9 times out of 10 pass on it. Looking at EVERY SINGLE calorie I take in…
  • Oh honey I feel your pain. I am right there with ya. Personally speaking...I am trying to focus on my NSV (non scale vicotories). Yes the weight is important but I didn't decide to change my life because the number on the scale upset me. I steped on that scale because something else bugged me (my clothes didn't fit the way…
  • WOW! Great information! Thanks for posting the question. I too am starting to run. I am killing my hips and knees right now because I can't afford to get out there to get new shoes BUT I am going to go LOOKING for them tonight before my Zumba class.
  • But isn't BMR what I need for just taking in air and beating my heart...like i am in a coma? Which every other site I have checked is around 1500. MFP has my goal 100 calories below the calories I need to be in a coma.

  • If you are craving salt (which I frequently do) Special K has crackers/chip things that are only 100 cals for 30
  • YAY!!! It only took me 3 tries
  • Thank you everybody for the words of encouragement. I think I will go see a doctor to make sure everything is ok and take it easy a little bit and give my lungs a chance to recover. I frequently forget I'm not 21 anymore and I cannot expect my body and lungs not to have suffered after 25 years of smoking on a couch with a…
  • Right here Darlin!!! RIGHT ON! KEEP MOVING!! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! Even if you are moving the pace of a snail you are running circles around the person sitting on the couch with a bowl of ice cream and a bag of potato chips!
  • How do you do the excersize ticker?
  • 11/3 1.5 miles 11/4 1.5 miles 11/5 3 miles 11/6 3 miles 11/7 1.5 miles 11 miles so far! YAY ME!
  • Found the answer on his site http://www.webmd.com/fitness-exercise/features/the-truth-about-heart-rate-and-exercise?page=2 "A more accurate formula is the one published in 2001 by Tanaka in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology: Multiply your age by 0.7 and subtract that figure from 208. For example, a…

  • When is the HR to high? or "overdoing it"?
    in HR? Comment by cherub_72 November 2013
  • OH I better not eat whenever I want...LOL but I understand what you are saying. You did clarify for weight loss. If I was attempting to gain weight or build muscle mass, would the answer be differant?...just curious.
  • Yes...logging as exercise is a bad idea. I didn't think that is where I was headed with this post but maybe in a roundabout way I was. Thanks again everybody!
