  • My starting weight Sunday April 24th = 217 My weight on Saturday April 30th = 215 Your total weight lost for this week = 2 Would like it to have been more, but its acceptable. Easter meant nothing to me calorie-wise, but it was my son's birthday (29) so a really bad calorie day anyway as lasagne is his meal of choice. Rest…

  • "That's like saying any combustible fuel is a good choice to throw in your car. X-D" Not at all. I'm saying that from the perspective of the amount of energy you will get from a "fuel", they are the same if they are equal in calories. But the good "high test" stuff is what ALSO has nutrients that you need. So, of course,…

  • You may indeed want to talk to your doctor about this as chronic nausea is not normal. Don't know how long you have been taking them, but many people can not tolerate iron suppliments and can find that their reaction to them actually gets worse, not better over time.

  • Don't kid yourself the products are going to help with this. Normal skin turnover rate is about 20-28 days. This means the the remodeling your skin has to do to fit back down to your new size will take several months. Since you will hopefully be losing weight steadily until you reach your goal you may find a tendency to…

  • 5'6" and trying to get to 135. That's the best I've ever been and that was with serious muscle weight on me. I could leg press 1.5 times my weight and bench press half my weight. Boy, I looked good then. Not sure I can get back to that as I'm now in the post-menopausal, over 50 catagory with all its attendant problems of…

  • Forgot! By the recipe calculator here on the site, this is 8 servings at 205 calories a serving.

  • You've done great! The only problem here is that the medical staff isn't bothering to actually look at things and update the chart. If your doctor didn't IMMEDIATELY congratulate you on your great progress when he/she walked in the door, its time to find a new doctor.

  • There is a great deal of variation in how much people sweat. Sweating in and of itself does not indicate how may calories you are burning. Just make sure you aren't filing to sweat because you are not hydrated enough. NO SUIT - these are very dangerous as noted by several people here. Also a note to those who are heavy…

  • LadyHawk's post is right on the money and I have the background to comment on it - PhD Immunology/Toxicology, minor in Biochemistry. Losing more the about 2.5 lbs a week is generally not a good idea without a lot of extra diligence about what you eat and how you excercise. The MFP is set up to give you the calories to lose…

  • Generally, rest days between cardio workouts are not needed unless they are very intense. Moderate level cardio workouts every day are fine and are good for you. They increase the efficiency of your heart and lung function and your body's use of oxygen. The breaks with weight training are needed because (if you're doing to…

  • I'm my own worst enemy, but I have learned to identify what sets me off, which goes a long way toward fighting it. I am a "stress" eater and an "idle hands" eater. The first has become less of a factor since I retired from a high level industry positon and now work as an independent consultant. But that has me working from…

  • Watch out for "eating back" your exercise calories. While the calculations are set up to allow that and still theoretically loss at your selected loss goal, most people will over do it. I never eat back my exercise calories unless I've done a lot - some days hiking I can burn may whole calorie allotment in the exercise -…

  • I weigh in once a week. I'd do it every other week, but don't have the patience to wait that long to see what's happening. Weighing in more often the once a week is counterproductive for most people as daily changes in body weight are normal and its frustrating if the number doesn't seem to always be going down. This can…
