Wow, I can see your dilemma. What beer are you drinking? Can you learn to substitute one of the lighter beers? Michelob Ultra is 95 calories with 2.5 g of carbs and when I do drink beer, that's what I drink. I think if you let the guys know what you are trying to do, it would help as well. Being one of the guys at these…

I have never heard of Greek Yogurt. Where do you find it? Is there a brand name I should look for?

I gave up red meat. I don't feel any different but hopefully, it will help lower my cholesterol.

What is an NSV?

No, I don't. Why did you cut back on red meat?

I asked my trainer this question just yesterday. What she has me do is 8 minutes of cardio to warm up ad get my heart rate up at the start of my workout. Next, I do the weight machines and free weights. Lastly, I do about another 20-25 minutes of cardio. She said that if you do all your cardio first, it tires you and…

Just read one of my "pet peeve" expressions in this thread...MUSCLE WEIGHS MORE THAN FAT. Wrong. A pound of feathers and a pound of cement weigh the exact same amount- 1 pound. I think what you mean is that a pound of muscle is denser and takes up less area than a pound of fat.

You bring up an interesting point. There are those who say that 30 minutes of intense cardio per day is plenty and anything over that amount isn't really benefitting you. Anyone have thoughts on this??

Congratulations to you both! Just curious, how old are y'all and is this the first time you've tried to lose weight?

But it shows the weight loss from the time we started on MFP, not our weight loss from when we started this challenge. I don't want to go back and reset it to no weight lost..

Where did you hear to take your weight and divide it by 15 vs the old standard of drinking 8 glasses a day?

I've never been pregnant and have wondered as well BUT, in the case of very heavy women, sometimes their bodies aren't working correctly until they lose weight and bam, it happens. Prior to that, they may have never felt the need for birth control.

What exactly will we be doing in this challenge? Are there any guidelines? Do we post the weight lost weekly on Friday's or what? I'm joining but just wondering what the purpose is?? Thanks! CW Mon, April 4 248 GW Sat, April 30 238

Welcome! Just curious, what made you decide to use MFP? I just joined about a week and a half ago, myself.

Wow, congratulations on your massive weight loss!!!! That is tremendous and judging from your facial pic, you look fantastic! What has been your exercise regimen? As far as counting more than calories, the jury is divided on that one from what I have read. Diabetics and pre-diabetics and really obese people who are at risk…

What is the BL WII game? I have a WII but no exercise programs. Do you find it works? Do you feel you have gotten a good workout when you have finished it? I wonder if I should get one to help vary my routine as now I do Gym and my home recumbant bike and am starting to ride my real bike.

As other's have said, just enter it as Strength Training in the Cardio section. While you can enter your separate exercises, it doesn't count any of the calories burned and it's very time consuming to enter. If you put strength training, iyou'll at least know that you worked out with weights that day. I think it is very…

Is this Papichat Natalie?

I had a salad for supper last night. It had organic mixed baby lettuce (comes in a package), mushrooms, celery, green onions, tomato and cauliflower in it. I made it in a plastic container and put it in the fridge so I can eat on it for a few days. Since it was my meal last night, I added chunks of Havarti Cheese and a few…

So how did you do it? What worked for you? I'd love to hear your story,

My favorite cereal is Raisin Nut Crunch but right now, for health reasons, I am eating Cheerios. I have it with splenda and skim milk and cut up a small banana in it. It makes a great supper if you have eaten your main meal at lunch.
