@monachris: If you really like OJ but can't make the allowance for calories and don't mind artificial sweeteners, Minute Maid and Tropicana both have products that are half the normal sugar in their original products. I usually buy the Trop50 OJ and Lemonade. It gives me something to drink that isn't water. Also, that…

Happy Saturday! Robin: I hope things have gone smoothly with the surgery and you're recovering nicely. toots: most of the health issues have worked themselves out. I don't have the cancer gene, which is a relief, but I'm broke now because my husband's insurance didn't cover the cost of the testing. :frown: I'm off to get…

Hey everybody- I haven't been posting anything, but I've been reading for a bit. I am keeping MFP on the backburner, so I probably won't post much, but since it seems that Robin is having surgery, I just wanted to say that I hope it goes well and recovery is speedy! mnwalkingqueen: After my surgery and finishing my…

So, don't let it control your life. Maybe you need a break from tracking all your food all the time, but I would pay more attention to what other people have said. Getting in more fresh fruits and vegetables as a regular part of your diet will help. You don't have to be a slave to your calorie count, but you do need to…

I finally tried Baskin and Robbins cake bites. Well, one mint chocolate chip cake bite. It was good, and I planned for the calories, but I think I now have the willpower to steer clear because while good, it didn't stack up to my usual single scoop of chocolate ice cream from there, which I also had today. And yes, I…

By full/whole body: that means don't just focus on changing the places you want to see improvements, it means training all your major muscle groups. So, in your case not just upper body but lower body as well. So, not just push ups but adding in squats and dead lifts, etc. New Rules of Lifting is a good book, but I like…

Try pushups-they will help tone your chest and shoulders and there are variations that can work your triceps. You also might just google arm strength training and find some sample videos of exercises you can do with dumbbells at home.

Honestly, you're probably not eating enough. If you want to lose weight, and you're going to workout, you have to feed your body, or you're going to feel horrible. You should, I would suggest, up your calories to net 1200 per diem and then adjust from there if you are or aren't losing. Pay attention to your body's signals:…

Hi Gina-welcome to MFP. I find that one way to work around not having all my calories logged in the day is to log ahead of time. So if you pack a lunch or plan dinner or what not, go ahead and log your calories early. This is the best way to log meals that you eat out as well because you can plan ahead and know if you have…

Keep an eye on sales at REI, and you might be able to get one at a discount. I ended up getting a Timex Ironman (for women) HRM. I've used it without issue almost daily since July of this year and haven't had any issues. I did pay $150 for it though. I'd say the cheaper models aren't quite worth it--I initially got a Gaiam…

You can also try a stationary bicycle, but adjust the seat so that your legs aren't cramped up on themselves, but more stretched out. You can find the right adjustment by pedaling a bit-if your knees hurt, increase the distance between the seat and pedals.

I don't think that you should worry about what other people are doing. Do what you can handle, what you have time for, and manage your weight with diet and exercise. It depends on your goals too . . . if you want to be super ripped up and in killer shape, eventually you'll want to up what you can handle. But if you just…

Yes, that's definitely okay. If you end up sticking to 1250 and doing exercise to burn over more calories than you normally would, you're going to end up starving and/or too tired to stick with a workout routine. You also have to make sure you don't eat under your calories and/or eat up to your calorie limit without eating…
