Google it, and select images......thats probably the best place to start as it would be hard to put in words some of the exercises that are talked about in here.

You take offense to being labeled as stronger? Would you have the same aversion to being labeled as "weak"? Would you have whined as much as you are if they pulled you from heavy lifting and asked you to play with stickers instead? Not asking you to "feel" less because you are strong....but you may want to "feel less" in…

Are you serious? This has to be trolling, maybe at its finest...because when you come back to itemize the "violators" you then go on to say it looks about 50/50 and your looking for additional input...................but I thought I only saw 2 or 3 people saying you should be offended (and those seemed pretty sarcastic).…

I am a person who is borderline obsessive with schedules....I sometimes find that if I don't make to do list that I will fail to meet some goals. With that said, I use my handy-dandy work calender to make a workout schedule every month. I print a copy of it and hang it on my fridge and then every day that i complete the…

I am extremely lucky that I am not what I would consider a binge eater, and if I do have a "cheat" day/binge like episode I don't punish myself, I don't feel helpless to stop, and I start over again the next day. I feel bad for people who seemingly can not control this behavior. I hope that some of the suggestions on that…

Also, make sure that you are hydrating well. I have noticed that after a hard work out if i drink at least a bottle of water that my hunger stays at bay. As others have said, nuts or protein, and some say a complex carb will help fuel the body and aid w/ muscle recovery post work out. Although I have found that the hunger…

Excellant loss! I too am really close to my 10% goal...with in 5 or so lbs :bigsmile: Keep up the great work!:flowerforyou:

Well friends.....I HATE MY SCALE!!! LOL I weighed in on Saturday and was down 5 lbs (majority of it was water weight I'm guessing). When I weighed yesterday it was back up to CSW...and then I weighed today and it was the exact same number as yesterday...what?!? so I stepped off and reset it...and came up 1.5 lbs…

When I was nursing I left my body's needs fall by the wayside because I was so concerned about the baby's needs. I ate very little through the day and then when I had a chance snarfed a ton of crap. Some things that I would recommend are make sure that you are eating through out the day, try to keep your water intake and…

If it burns calories I count it as exercise....just like yard work, sex, water gun fights....granted it doesn't burn as many calories as jogging/running, or doing cardio, but people gotta do what they can do...gotta start somewhere!

bwah hahahah...i'm so dumb! I really should start reading things better...i thought you meant a food scale! not the "body" scale! :blushing: I do in fact have one of those....it is hard not to get obsessive with its use. I generally do step on it once a day, but I try not to get worked up over the numbers because I realize…
-
I don't....i probably should, but so far I have been having ok to good results, so I'm gonna keep on trucking until I stall out....when that happens I will likely tighten down and weigh over measure food...I tend to eyeball stuff, and I tend to air on the side of caution and estimate a little higher then actually consumed…
-
I feel like a pretty normal person....i wouldn't "compare" the weight of 2 things...I could observe that the volume may look the same but the weight will be different depending on density of said obects. But to "compare" I would have to have 2 items that weight identical amounts. This is why people should take/track…

I haven't read thru all the responses, but my suggestion would be to exercise portion control and eat the same meal you prepare for your family, maybe fix extra veggies for yourself (to help fill you up a little more while adjusting to smaller portions). Also, try to have some "healthier' snacks available...that way when…

Hummm...thats a really good question, in, for the answers you might get. I woudl say which ever helps you better. If you know that there are days your going to go over (say wing wednesdays or thirty thursdays) and you can "save up" calories through out the week....the math will still balance out to the same. I guess it…

Ahh,....go for a jog anyway!! You'll thank yourself.

I believe that as you lose weight and you "check in", MFP automatically decreases your recommended calories, at least that has been my expierence (but I was messing with and customizing the goals around the same time that cals dropped down). I think that you may have been reading about people who use other sites to…

I cut out my hard core binge foods (pasta and potatos....and all other carbs) for a period of about 4-5 weeks. It sucks, but I personally feel like it reduced my cravings. I feel like now I can sit down and manage a cup of either and not require the whole pan. I always hear on here that there is no need to cut out the…

*Sigh* Well I failed to stay motivated at the 10lb/June challange....hoping that I can buckle down and recommit and lose a cool 10 by July! SW 242 CW 226 GW 150 Good Luck all!

Yes, you are supposed to eat back your exercise calories. MFP uses the information that you input and the amount that you want to lose per week and spits out a daily calorie goal (in your case 1200 calories). Just eating at that calorie allowance, with out exercise you can anticipate weight loss because MFP has already…

Not trying to deflate your point.....but where did you shop? Even buying the generic or store brand of the majority of those items listed, at least in the Midwest is much more expensive that what you've estimated. ie: a gallon of store brand 1% milk is $3.98. So your numbers, and then the average amount available to spend…

ground sirloin, ground chicken breast, tomato, avocado and cheese....gotta have the cheese!
