I've seen many posts regarding the motivation for one to get in shape and maybe loose some weight, but this one rings close to home for me. I am currently 50 and was not happy at all with my physical condition so I was motivated to make some changes. I started several months ago and have dropped 30 pounds and have been…

Certainly no expert here but if you honestly track the foods you are eating and then maybe eat back about 75% of the calories you burn during exercise, you should do well. I've been exercising and find that if I eat back all the calories, I feel full and uncomfortable. I don't think you'll get in trouble eating slightly…

I'm working through back injuries and weight loss and have found the ellyptical and stationary bike work best for me. My body does sense the additional impact the ellyptical provides but if the body can handle it, it's a great calory burn as well. Best of luck and I commend you for taking things slow. I'm sure you will…

The C25K plan may help you transition into a "high impact" activity. Joint and shin injury would be the only real concerns as you start to run.

Home made, Toll House Chcolate Chip Cookies....warm!!!!

Are you really surprised? This is the "Me" generation and too few parents are actually teaching these kids how to be respectful. No excuse, just an observation.

If you are relying on the elyptical machine to calculate your calories burned, I would us that as a basic value. If you would really like accurate data to input to MFP, I would suggest a reasonably priced Heart Rate Monitor (HRM) as this will allow you to use different exercise methods and still account for the calories…

No expert here but I've been running and using the elliptical as well and I've noticed that during the walking phase of my runs, my heart rate tends to slow down quite fast. However, when I'm on the elliptical, I maintian my heart rate for the entire time I'm working out. This could be a contributing factor as well as you…

Just a suggestion but if you are this determined to loose weight, based on the amount of exercise you are doing, it may be worth while investing in a Heart Rate Monitor. Wear this while working out through all of your exercises and you can gain real insight as to how many calories you are burning. As many others have…

I'm a bomb tech and the numbers were purely random.

Protect the President and Vice President....going to be a busy year I think. And in my free time, an Independent Shaklee Distributor.

May be just a little different perspective but I'm confident that if he works with you, watching what you eat will be a lot easier. I would talk with him first and tell him how this hurts your effort. Hopefully he will be supportive and stop bringing these items home. I'm like you, at least I think, it's a lot easier to…

Kind of new to this as I had tried earlier to thank you for the link. This was a very good read.

Thanks for the link...that was a very informative read.

Sorry to hear about the challenges but we all have to work with what we've been dealt. Dieting is certainly beneficial to maintining a healthy weight, or loosing should that be necessary, but most on MFP post about the benefits of watching your intake coupled with some type of exercise. For those who can, they are…

"MFP" This site has allowed me to be brutally honest about my food intake and the caloric "hit" that I was doing to myself. My goal has been to loose some weight so that I could start running and biking again. I'm loosing the weight and that is due to the accountability this site affords for tracking my food intake, and by…

Little man....big ego. He's a jerk and you know you're doing the right thing. Hang in there and try to forget it. Nobody deserves that, especially when they are working on it. Take care and good luck.

Shaklee's Vitalizer for Women is all natural and complete. They also have individual vitamins available for specific needs, i.e. hair and skin. I like that they are completely natural. Let me know if you want more info. Good Luck.

Lots of options, just depends on what is important to you. I've been using the Shaklee "Cinch" shake for about three months and have lost 23 pounds. It's all natural and contains Leucine to help prevent muscle loss. I use the chocolate and it's great. This is a mix so you will need either a shaker cup or I use an electric…

If access to a gym for weight training does not work well, try a program like P90x. Great work out and only requires a few items so you can do this at home. Just a thought.

I don't want to sound like an advertisement but I also wanted to drop some weight without having to rely on garbage (chemicals) to do it. I found a program that helps curb the apetite while providing good protein with supplements to help retain muscle while shedding the fat. The best part is that it's all natural, no man…

A recent favorite for me is to brush on a Thai Peanut Suace while I grill the salmon. If it has skin, just remove it with a fillet knife so you can brush on the sauce on both sides. I think this will resolve the fishy taste and if you already like peanut suace, I think you'll love this. I use "SAN-J", it's gluten free as…

I've had minor knee issues and started using Shaklee Joint Compound. It worked great and is all natural to boot. This helped me with my running and as I've lost weight, it's progressively gotten better. Good luck.

With a short term goal of 30 lbs and long term goal of 50 lbs, I realize I fall short of the goal you are looking to achive. However, I'm a little like you in that I can and have felt defeated when starting different weight loss efforts. Recently, I began a program that helps me curb my hunger so that I can loose enough…
