I'm a real estate agent and it is the best job I ever had. You are limited only by your own ambition. Be warned, you will need at least $2,000 to get started. You have to buy Errors & Omissions insurance, subscriptions to the local and national Realtor's associations, and your local multiple listing service. You MUST be…

I don't have a heart rate monitor, so I go with the lowest number.

I have tried it and it worked for me. I had a three month plateau that would not budge. I raised my calories for three days in a row and then went back down to my normal 1,200-1,300 a day plan. The next thing I knew, I started losing again. Now I do it regularly. I don't do the crazy one where you change every day, for…

Ha! You beat me to it.

Thank you for this website! I thing that I just might make this my reward too. :o)

Occupation: Real Estate Agent Dream Job: Ok, no one is going to believe this--but I've got the best job already. I love what I do!

You look lovely. Beautiful girl. Congratulations.

215 days and 88 pounds down as of today. As for the Negative Nelly who thinks it's too difficult to log every day--exactly how much effort does it take? All of ten seconds.

Welcome to MFP! You're really going to like it--not only do they have great tools, but there is so much encouragement and helpful advice and knowledge from our fellow members. I'll also be turning 40 next year--feel free to add me as a friend as well. :o) http://www.myfitnesspal.com/nansidhe

I started at 325 and different sites say that my ideal weight range should be 111-150, so I MAY have over 200 pounds to lose, it depends on how I look and feel the closer I get to my goal weight. Considering my mother and sister's weights when they were thinner (I never was), I think that my goal weight will be closer to…

LOL. You beat me to it.

Congratulations to you Teresa! Way to the go! :o)

Hi Cheryl, my name is Nancy and we are close to the same age and weight. I was making great strides in my weight loss until I was hit with a terrible health scare. I would love for you to add me as a friend as well. We can be each other's personal cheerleaders. :o)

80 pounds from April through August. It has come to a screeching halt for now because of a kidney problem and probably won't regain its momentum until they figure out exactly what is wrong and handle it.

It may be with the dieting that you have weaked your immune system a little and now it's just easier to be affected by the bad bacteria that can be found in foods. Have you tried a probiotic? I started taking a probiotic and the only time I get sick now is when I haven't taken it for a while. I use "Ultimate Flora Critical…

I guess I should give an update--if just to confirm to people everything that you stated in your original post. After bringing my calorie intake up to 1,200 a day, I gained a total of 1.5 pounds. So, I guess that I really was in starvation mode previously. Roughly three weeks later and still "netting" at least 1,200…

Thank you so much for this post. I just realized after 3 months of being on MFP and losing 57 pounds that I have been doing it incorrectly. I was never a big eater, just a BAD eater; so it was easy not to eat back my exercise calories, making my net intake an average of 850-950. Once I realised that I had to NET at least…

Here is a good article from WebMD on the daily recommended protein for all age groups and both sexes, I hope it helps: http://www.webmd.com/food-recipes/protein In sum, this is what they recommend: Infants require about 10 grams a day. Teenage boys need up to 52 grams a day. Teenage girls need 46 grams a day. Adult men…
