Wow what a wonderful transformation! You should be proud knowing that you are going to be a great role model for your daughter!

I've definitely gone through periods like this, especially when members of my family had severe health problems and I had to take time off to help. I suppose that I have a few suggestions: 1. If you have a normal exercise routine (ie running or a certain type of class), switch it up. It seems simple, but my gym has…

I have a feeling that you are going to get all sorts of suggestions, some you should probably ignore and others that you can pick and choose from. My advice, which comes from experience practicing with my own body, is to lift HEAVY. I am currently doing New Rules of Weight Lifting for Women, which is one of multiple…

Ughh that was me last thursday. Broke up with a guy I was seeing and then proceeded to eat an entire medium dominoes pizza by myself. I had to drink TONS of water all weekend to get rid of the sodium. blech.

dropped the iphone in the toilet. bummer.

I think that as others have said, "front lines" as we have thought of them historically don't function the same way anymore. My family is heavily involved in the military, and from what my cousins have said, women are seeing combat all the time because of the nature of the type of fighting against insurgents in Iraq.…

Your facts are simply not true. Look at Coke's website itself- they say that they use a mix of 4 low calorie sweeteners in their products: http://www.dietcoke.com/wellness-balance/sweeteners-and-you.jsp

It was one of my conscious choices to quit diet soda and it definitely paid off for me. I ended up quitting after doing a lot of scientific research on foods that are very acidic and how that effects metabolism and body health. In general, we want to maintain as alkaline a pH as possible, because blood acidity is linked to…

I would be concerned about this ONLY if you tend to binge or get really hungry at night. In that case, your body is probably compensating in the morning by not being hungry at all and you might be better off training your body to eat at more appropriate intervals. It's all about personal preference, but I used to feel the…

During my 1.5 years on MFP, these are the main lessons that I've learned: 1. Cardio may burn calories, but it doesn't shape my body, and so I MUST add resistance training. That said, a large variety or exercises and a rest day are essential for me so that I don't get bored or burn out. I used to run 50 miles or so per…

Did you just get back? You probably ate a lot of salty foods and more carbs than normal, which will cause water retention. I seriously doubt that in 1 week you ate 17500 extra calories if you were being relatively conscious about your intake. Load of up on fruits, veggies, lean protein, and water this week, and try the…

Although I can't relate directly, I know that my parents struggle with this situation as well, as my mother is quite overweight. I guess that the advice I would give you would be first, make sure that you talk to your husband and explain that you feel hurt by his commentary. It will be a hard conversation, but it is…

Like others have said, I eat AND lose weight. First of all, I'm 5'10 and 170 pounds, so my body definitely could not survive on 1200 calories per day. To lose 1 lb per week, I eat 1810 calories, and that's not including exercise. Since I exercise 6X per week and usually for an hour or more, on average during the week I eat…

@glenna111 I would totally date you if I was in to women!

I would never give up on my career goals. I would also never accept anything but a completely equal relationship. ....and no back door. Sorry.

Way to go for taking that first step! In terms of keeping your calories under 4000, your best bet is to start filling your pantry and refrigerator with healthy foods that give you good fiber, minerals, and vitamins. If possible, throw out any of the processed stuff that is not good for you (chips, frozen snacks like…

Ok, I'm glad that I'm not the only one. Ice cream is one of those things that I refuse to take the "light" version. If I want ice cream, I want the real thing in all of its caloric deliciousness. But to the OP, great idea for those that want a low cal version!

Height: 5'10.5 CW: 181 GW: 168 I have a naturally athletic frame with little curvature. When I put on weight it is in my midsection and chest area, and my legs are huge from playing years of soccer. I'm alright with it though, because it is all muscle. I used to really want to get down into the 150s, but after talking to…

This is incredibly sweet. Sounds like you have a good one. My advice would be to remember that he loves you, and that you are going to celebrate him, so forget the rest of it!

Panties. I hate how it sounds, and also how it is only for women's underwear, making it sound cutesy and making it seem as if women are little children who love buy patronizing-sounding undergarments.

<prof pic. Also, where are the lovely man thighs?

Tough Mudder ATL March 2013. My original goal was a half marathon under two hours, and I killed that one last month. After tough mudder and one I get to my goal weight, I'm going to sign up for a marathon...it's my incentive, haha.

I'm sorry, but you are clearly projecting, because I did not speculate upon why you are obese. I think however that it is logical to assume that if your friends eat unhealthy things more often than you do, but have a healthy weight, that barring any metabolic disorder on your part, it is probably because of a combination…
-
I'm sorry but I think that YOU are confused about what healthy means. Even if you only eat once per day and you eat 3,000 calories, that's still a ton. And I apologize if this sounds offensive, but there is no way that you got to three hundred pounds by not eating unless you have some sort of metabolic disorder. It is…

As someone who is matriculating to medical school next year and who has gone through periods of my life where I was 20 pounds overweight, I agree with both sides of the argument. For doctors, it is extremely difficult in our "slap a bandaid" on it medical community. Health care costs are skyrocketing each year, and it is…

The best thing about insanity is that you can go at your own pace. Even the people on the actual DVD take tons of breaks (except for Tanya, but she's a robot). I think that if you go into it understanding that you might need to take breaks (when I couldn't breath/was exhausted, I would wait for my heart rate to go under…

Ian Somerhalder works out at my gym. He's kind of weird in person, and wears jeans and sweaters when he's lifting. He also dresses very hipster-like, especially fedoras. I hate fedoras. But to each her own!
