I bet you that you that at your current weight MPF would recommend you only try to lose 1 pound a week That would push up your caloire intake a bit Also if you factor in workouts, you could add up to 600 more caloires

I hate to tell you that you need to exercise...but it's an important part of making weight loss work Forget that regular exercise tones and firms you, and makes you stronger and heathly What's best is that if you exercise you can eat back the caloires that you lose! So that means instead of nibbling a 1500 calorie diet,…

I got one, it's not very low fat, but simple Heat your oven to 400 Take a 4oz Salmon fillet a rub it down with a little Olive Oil Either salt and pepper or dust a Fllet with any of your favorite Seafood Seasonings (I like Tom Douglas Salmon Rub...I use it on everything) On your stove top heat up a cast iron skillet with a…

Two suggestions 1) Remember to recalculate your calorie intake AND calorie spend during exerice as you lose weight If your 15 lbs lighter then when you started, then yes...you're due to recalculate at your new weight 2) Sometimes it's good to take a "diet break"...although I've seen these with people who are losing a…

I believe in doing both running and strength...(mainly core strength exercises) I only train 3-5 miles a day, and my longest run was 10 miles But less then a year ago I was nearly 100 lbs over weight, so... When I started losing enough weight to run a distance...two things became apparent 1) I if needed take the time to…

I got the Healthometer glass body scale from Walmart, and I really like it It probably does too much But it measures weight, body mass index, hydration and offers daily caloric intake It can be programmed for 4 users And it's not that spendy, only around $35 online

Well the good news is losing 10-15 pounds is easy You might not even have to change too much of you diet You just need to burn more caloires then you're taking in If you're in the room with Mom and there's a TV in there, put on a exercise DVD, and work out with her in the room She might even try to join you Or get up…

I'm a Friday morning after my morning workout kind of guy I think once a week at the same time, is best And yes...if you can...weigh in naked Hey, if you're keeping score, every little bit helps!

That's happened to me too Sometimes I get a shocking weight gain in just a few days from eating Chill or bean soups over a couple of days I'm talking close to 2-4 pounds! But it goes away in a week or so...I know that sounds weird...but it's true

Go to active.com They have all kinds of training tools there

It's great you're taking frist steps As far as the treadmill is concerned, I think those kind of trendmills are hard to use, and at this point you need something that actually helps you...not frustrates you Modern programmable trendmills are great...because they can start you slow, and you can build up speed and resistance…

Here's an idea, just to take the issue of shoes out of the equation If this is happening on either a treadmill or elliptical...try doing your work out in bare feet It shouldn't hurt you if you only do it this one time If it doesn't occur then you know it's our shoes or the way you tie them If it still occurs, then…

Well at least you kept some skinny clothes to go back to! I'd don't know what I was thinking but I gave away all my skinny cloths a year ago because I lost all hope of losing weight THEN...life took some funny turns and I ended up losing 80 pounds! I really am happy, but you do feel a sting in the wallet Especially when…

53 last month...and 80 pounds lighter Never felt better

Amazing!!! Keep going champ it only gets better

I just do the same thing each day And weigh in at the same time each weigh in I weigh a bit more at night...after dinner...vs the morning

Good for you...it's funny how you notice the smallest things as you lose weight...like... I can cross my legs I can sit comfortably in a airline coach seat I can fit and a bathroom stall ;-) here's discovering all the great places you will be able to fit into now Good for you!!!

There a number of good shoes out there, but for fit, I like New Balance and Asics performance running shoes (and New Balance comes in wide sizes) BUT, he's going to need support inserts, no real getting around...it is...what it is... Without that extra support he'll end up at the doctors complaining about knee or foot pain…

I agree, don't worry about that It's a rough calculation that really is more for inspiration then it is a accurate calorie count

I think you're right in line to lose the weight you want to lose and get fit I have a similar calorie intake and workout plan, and I'm 53 You're closer to your idea weight then I am so you should be added some caloires to your diet to level off your weight loss soon

I'm conviced that my belly is never going to be the same I've lost 75 pounds, and I'm getting great definition in my arms, legs, shoulder and chest BUT My belly looks like all the skin just hangs there I'm giving up thinking I'll have six pack abs What I got is 2 packs in a bag!

I can't figure out BMI either For my age it says I'm unhealthy But I've always had a more musclar build...big in the shoulders, arms and legs I wonder how much that factors in?

Good for you I'm going through the same thing myself Back in March, I was squeezing into a men's 42...now the 38's I just bought feel loose on me, and I'm kicking myself for not getting 36's...slim fit no less!!! But I don't care what it costs, hearing people tell you how great you look is worth more then the price of…

Stretch and do a little walking

Good for you! I was in the same boat...losing and gaining for years But nothing has worked as well as simply tracking my calorie intake on MFP and doing regular exercise Stick with this, it's great

Two things that I swear by: Skip rope Do push ups

I saw a doctor about this, he sent me to a Sleep Specialist it was helpful, and it lead to me getting on this weight loss plan, (among other treatments) There are SO many reasons for lack of sleep, it's helpful to see a Specialist, who can sort out the causes

I'm with the person who said..."if it works your you, then stick with it" If you've lost over 50 lbs doing what you're doing, then tell your trainer goodbye For me it HAS to be a balance of cardio and strength But, I will admit I do more strength training now then ever before, but that's really all for show and muscle…

Boy you hit the nail on the head!...I thought I was the only one thinking this I've been very lucky and have gotten TONS of support from my coworkers on my weight loss I lost about 70 pounds so far and have just about 25 pound to go...and I'm feeling like it's not good enough yet Maybe I'll feel better once I hit my goal,…

I just did a post on this subject I swear by push ups as one of the single best exercises you can do Start VERY slow I started by kneeing and pushing up off a pilates ball, start with 10 reps I also worked on doing the yoga rod pose...which is just a push up, without pushing up, just lower self then hold it From there I…
