If the family can afford it I would recommend one or two sessions a week with a qualified athletic personal trainer. They can tailor a program for her. Honestly I recommend that for anyone of any age trying to start a workout regimen. Even if just for a month or two it'll give a solid foundation and opportunity to learn…

Allan- I love that list! To Mezzie and brown eyed beauty- I just started work in with a personal trainer (doing small group sessions - we aren't all at the same fitness level but we workout together :-). I totally encourage you to find a trainer not associated with a large chain. Try a training gym. I definitely think you…

You're the closest I've seen to mine! AGE - 31 H-5'2" SW 180 CW 160.8 GW 115-125 (All depends on how I look at 125)

When I'm hungry at night - and I'm usually hungry at night, even when I've eaten good foods throughout the day. So what I do now is I save my gummy vitamin for last (I tend to want something sweet) , veggies or I have a handful of peanuts with a few chocolate chips and a full 8oz glass of water. No matter what I have i…

These are delicious! No bake energy balls - http://www.gimmesomeoven.com/no-bake-energy-bites/ About 84 calories each. They keep well in the fridge for at least a week (they never last that long here :-) or freeze them and pop them into ziplock bags and they'll be good to go in time for the morning snack. And Broccoli with…

I'm 5'2 and looking to lose about 35 lbs - My Goal is to be between 120 and 130. I'm 31 and don't remember what I looked like at 130 so I'll reassess when I get there! It is tough when we're short to look like we've lost weight but man put on 5 or 10 lbs and you can totally tell.

I think we are the only to do it consistently and under normal circumstances. I've seen instances where at zoos or shelters or even with family pets, where a nursing mama with nurse a baby of different species. But I don't think it's something that would just happen in the wild...
-
That's not at all accurate. Women who are nursing don't have to drink cows milk in order to be getting enough nourishment for them and their babies. Calcium and vitamin D can be found in various vegetables. And with the chemicals most companies are pumping into the cows, cows milk isn't all that good for you to begin with.…

I only eat ranch on my salads as well and i've found that if I load my salad with veggies (carrots, broccoli and fresh spinach) its very filling! And I make my salads in containers with lids, use 1 or 2 tbl of ranch, close the lid and shake! I find that shaking after mixing it up distributes the dressing in a way that…

Same as last week - 170.6 Its been tough getting this weight loss train moving. I need to do better with tracking my foods. I can't wait till I have a phone that has aps, it would be easier to chart as I go through the day. Also I've recently become a "domestic engineer" (i.e. housewife - temporary till new job found) and…

This week I'm at 170.3. I gain and lose the same 1lb each week :-( I need to get back on tracking my foods each day.

Happy Monday folks! Last week I weighed in at 170lbs! This week I'm at 169! One pound down and I'm excited to see the scale going down instead of up. Have a wonderful week folks!

Congratulations! Make sure you have adjusted your calories to account for the pregnancy. And also my obgyn has mentioned that while you are pregnant you aren't really eating for two! Follow the same common sense rules as before - for example, eat when you're hungry and stop when you are almost full. Eat good healthy foods…

I almost think I got an ab workout laughing.

Water is the ONLY thing I say force yourself to drink! LOL I'm from the desert and water was not an option growing up it was mandatory. I love the water pouches but they are full of artificial sweeteners which I'm not fond of so if it helps you start drinking it then go for it but use it sparingly. Or like another poster…
-
I dislike everything on your list. Well, I kinda like tomato but only as it applies to salsa and pasta :-) I don't like most cooked veggies so I eat them raw. I love mixing pb and honey for a dip for my apples and celery. I love pizza so I make my own at home! Way less calories and it takes less time than ordering or even…

I'm a little late but I'm in! My anniversary is 12/31 and my goal is to wear my reception dress to dinner that night! Amazing how much can be gained in the 1st year of marriage if you let it! Weight today is -170.0 For my workouts (just started back yesterday) Doing workouts from FIT tv on demand. A mix of cardio and…
-
Many people make the mistake of eating UNDER the calorie goal! The goal is something to MAKE not to be below. MFP has calculated based on the info YOU provided how much you should eat to lose weight. Crazy as it sounds you need to meet this goal to help you lose weight safely and keep it off. Also give it time, a couple of…

LOL excellent benefit! I love it.

You look fantastic! Congratulations! WTG

My favorite is the Pasta Romano w/bacon! I love it so much I've attempted to recreate it at home - Not there yet but I think I'm close!! I also love the new "snacks" Particularly the chicken taquito things (can't recall the name right now but they're yummy!) I should have bought stock in LC for as much as I spend!
-
Not sure about the KT Tape - but you might also try running on grass occasionally. That may help!
-
We're not trying to get pregnant any time soon but I am trying to get healthy and in shape before we decide to get pregnant because I want to be healthy and in great shape BEFORE I gain my pregnancy weight. Hoping that this will help me get back to a healthy weight after the pregnancy! So good luck to you and the other…

If you are hungry after you exercise, try eating a small amount of protein after your workout. Its important to fuel your body after the workout just be sure to eat something sensible :-) Keep up the good work!

Check out the frozen fruit section - Jamba Juice (not sure if you've ever been to one its a fantastic smoothie shop) Anyways they have premade frozen pieces with yogurt in them and you just add apple juice to it and blend to your consistency! They are really good! MY husband loves to add his protein powder to them (the…

I'm on week 4 and I must admit I've slacked a little! I've already decided that I'm not moving on to month 2 until I am able to finish the warm-up without stopping! It amazes me that I sweat like a pig doing just the warm-up! I am loving it :-) Though pure cardio made me nervous the 1st time since Shaun T was "talkin spit"…
-
I do monthly! But its just because I tend to fixate on the numbers! Do whatever you find works best for you! Just be sure to keep moving forward, even when setbacks occur!
-
Fantastic! You look great!

5 kids? OMGosh thats awesome! My suggestion - give it at least a month before getting discouraged! My Dr. told me that when you've been a certain weight for a long time your body gets comfortable and d oesn't want to let go right away. Which is why our bodies go into starvation mode when we suddenly stop eating 2000…
