that is a great suggestion...I'll have to look into that....I do love my sweets...but ALWAYS feel so guilty after giving in cuz that more likely than not leads to over indulgence....what can i say...i'm weak when it comes to sweets!!

Good for you!:smile: It will make a huge difference in the way you look at food. At least that's what it did for me. Before 4oz of food looked sounded so small....it's not. 1oz of cheese is a lot and dont't get me started on 4oz of shredded turkey for a sandwich...its massive. Before i used to order 12 and 16oz steaks and…

you guys rock thanks for the info...i'll present it to my husband when he gets home....it's really his deal...i'll of course do it if he decides to get it but he hardly gets to the gym and needs something to do at home...thanks to the MFP family for your quick responses:love:

ok my husband and I are on the verge of buying P90X but before we do we have some quesitons. One how much weight in dumbells does a man need? My husband uses 45s for shoulder press with 8 reps...is P90X a high rep low weight thing or high weight low rep? We don't want to spend a ton of money on dumbells we have a gym…

Really....you are going to be happy being over weight....that's the "happy" you are referring to? You are happy buying clothes that are bigger than you'd like....not getting that outfit you want cuz you can't fit into it. I took you a life time to put that weight on....8 months is nothing...what's going on is…

at least yours is one bad day and you log it....mine is every weekend ....I avoid logging anything every weekend out of guilt and regret. i bust my bottom all week working out and eating well but come friday sat and sun...everything goes out the window...be it laziness, social calander or just plane indulgence...every…

great article loving the simple explanations for those of us who do not hav e a physiology or kenisiology degree....thanks

Hi, congrats to you for signing up and getting started. I have been working out and doing cardio since Nov. 09 and I lost my baby weight pretty fast, all except that stubborn last 15 pounds. I could not break a wall that I had run into, that is until I joined MFP a few weeks ago. After months and months of my husband…

you really shouldn't fear fats if you are working out...you really need them actually. You just need to be sure they are the right types of fat. For instance, when I eat an avacado or almonds I'm often discouraged when I see the fat content but then remind myself that I need these to replenish myself from working out. I…

I'm having success with a lot of core exercises found in a pilates class. The two I recommend most are the plank postion and then V ups. I also am having better results by using a stability and BOSU ball for crunches. Obliques I'm currently doing Russian twists. Plus I've changed my eating habits to smaller portions of the…

I read recently in an Oxygen Magazine article that says each food product shouldn't have more then nine grams of sugar in it. I use juices that are made with splenda to avoid the sugar. I know some people are iffy about it and others just like regular sugar but the all natural stuff is like you said in the twenties per…

Don't give up. You are losing the weight so you must be doing something right. If you feel good about yourself I say....GOOD FOR YOU! That is one of the most important steps...who cares what the scale or measuring tape says. IF you are eating right...and I mean this has to be number one above working out and cardio only…
