I did mine one minute at a time until I got to 60 minutes. Because of age I cut down to 30 to 40 minutes. Don't worry about how long its gonna take, just Nike (do it). Be sure to do your calorie deficit for weight loss. A friend was pushing me to continue, told him it was painful bla bla. He told me the very thing that I…

I think when people sign up for this site they need to receive a message from MFP detectives, telling them to search before they post, cause otherwise - people want to post topics on their forum just like every one else. Millions of the same topics are posted over time but we can participate and try to help that person or…

I think she meant you said 500 calorie diet, instead of deficit!

[ Cutting a portion of a meal will not hurt you. Or if you have a craving, just take a taste or eat something similar that is healthier. Best![/quote] This makes a lot of sense!! I'm taking this home.

yes yes yes - All of them -- very sound advice . At my gym, which is the Y, the seniors come to socialize, and will sit at two different machines to shoot the bull with each other. All day you have to ask people to let you use the machines. If you are going to do exercises with dumb bells, don't sit on the darn bike - sit…

wow who is the guy in the purple

LONGTIME - I see you have two flags on your opening post - what the duce? you made an excellent point to me. Thank you.

That was like 50 years ago for me (almost) and I ate the same thing every month. I only weighed 97 pounds, and could not eat all day long. When the cramps stopped around 5 or 6 pm I would have a peanutbutter sandwich and iced coca cola. Every freaking month thats what I craved after the pain.

SonicKrunch I look at the anti aging cream facial before and after pictures and they are the same pictures, lightened up and doctored. They even have on the same blouse. I thought I was nuts for comparing them but I do, always. Was glad to see you said you cant have the same wrinkles!! I had a good laugh even though I…

heeheehee!

I started doing one list because so many foods build up in 4 to 5 lists that it affects me mentally. Sounds silly but knowing that all those foods are listed - and they are the same foods - grinds my gears. I have to protect my very fragile state of mind, so I just use one list. But that's the only reason. People have to…

Removed myself from denial. When I got out, I was shocked. Then I went to work

I'm not negative towards WW, I have joined them hundreds of times in my life. But I find what you all are saying to be true, and I wonder how they stay so strong because in reality, they cost too much. And right the "speakers" are not knowledgeable. When they first came out, it was mandatory to eat liver.:sick: Yes - it…

This sure is a fun post! I love the funny responses

THERE you go - Meatwad, I understand you!

JAMES DANEK - this seems like a good idea to me - thank you too! QUOTE: At this point in my training I have stopped counting walking calories... (35m 5'10'' 193lb so broadly where you are physically)

Thanks!!!

I DO understand your problem. For a while walking was all I did. From 2009 to about 2012. MFP told me what I was burning on those walks and I ate them back. It seemed like I was working my buns off burning all those calories but I wasn't. I said to myself if I can burn all these calories walking, why would I want to kill…

QUOTE - CALLIOPE610: : I'd rather be a 52yo old fart who goes to bed early, runs a 9:00mile, deadlifts 210 and weighs 20lbs more than I did when I graduated high school (116) than be a young, unfit couch potato. Thanks.

If the friendship means that much to you, dont even talk about the weight loss and healthy stuff with her. she is jealous and insecure so just be her friend in everything else. But keep doing what you are doing for yourself!! If she asks about then talk but just let it go so she can keep her little jealousies to herself.
