I HATE the gym also, I trick myself into going. I say in my mind, "I'm going to go and JUST do (whatever you find easiest) for 15 minutes; once I am there I do much more. :)

You CAN build muscle with low weights, more reps. Muscle needs to be fatigued, NOT overloaded. You do reps until muscle fatigue sets in sets in with low weights... maybe you need to have a refresher course in your certification?

You will gain muscle EITHER way. I've seen both, those who lift heavy less reps, less often and those who lift lighter, more reps more often. If you are looking to gain "strength" then lifting heavy is the way to go. You can find lots of info to back this up simply by research. It really doesn't matter.

TY!

I've done a lot of research (and contrary to MFP) the body needs only about 800 calories/day to sustain a healthy diet. The starvation mode is a myth, it really is only a slowing of your metabolism not completely stopping altogether. As long as you eat 800 or more calories you will be quite fine. I've included this for…

If you go buy a running magazine you can get lots of info on them. My old boss was an avid runner when I began running myself. She introduced me to Asics Gel Kayano, pretty expensive but definitely the most comfortable pair of running shoes I have ever tried!

Good job! I was at the same place when I started. I'm doing it very slowly, but getting there. Great encouragement! TY for sharing. :)

Its going to take you AT LEAST 4-6 weeks of regular exercise and healthy diet to see any results. Weight loss is universal so you will lose all over, not just "trouble zones." If you drink enough water, (which is half your body weight in ounces), then you won't retain water. You have to eat LEAN protein, not just any…

I have two small boys who just love fruit snacks, and we always keep some type of treat for them in the house. I eat when I'm bored so those treats always look soooo good to me. I've recently found a great "dessert" that I love and it satisfies my craving ( i looove cake and pie). I have a big banana and have real whipped…

DO it do it! If you're going for losing 1 pound per week, then as long as your deficit is 3500 calories by day 7 you'll lose that pound. It doesn't matter if you over eat one day and then eat less then next (as long as you eat at least 1050-1200 calories). I save up all the time, I have a love/hate relationship with cake.…

My motto is: Pinch today to enjoy tomorrow. As long as you have that deficit at the end of the week, no matter how you came about it, you'll be okay. Eat 1200 cals for 3 days in a row, so you have a few hundred extra cals for that special day. Exercising is mandatory and will add onto how many cals you can eat more! I…

If you don't get ENOUGH rest, you can experience physiological stress. Apparently the body biochemically holds onto fat more efficiently because of it. That's the ONLY truth. All other scenarios are debatable.

Apparently it depends on your sleep cycle. IF you don't get enough sleep you don't burn as many calories. THAT is the main factor, not when you eat. If you are a good sleeper then it wouldn't matter when you ate. "A calorie is just a calorie." http://www.nytimes.com/2011/05/17/health/17really.html

Calorie Count website has a recipe analyzer under the food tab. You type it in like this: 1 c. flour 1 lb chicken Etc etc and it asks for how many servings in the pot and then it gives you how many calories/serving for you. I love it!

Porn makes me hungry! LOL

No.

It was in the refrigerated section.

Thank you all for some really good advice. Distractions, exercise, and therapy. Got it! :) ty ty ty

You can use your own body for strength/resistance training. Working the biggest muscles in the body will result in progress being seeing faster. Squats, crunches, push ups, calf raises. You can do these exercises using JUST your body weight and be find and see progress for up to 3 months, after that you'll need to add more…

Ha! I used to be skinny, and now I am looking to lose the weight again. I was a size 4 before children. I remember NEVER feeling skinny. There was ALWAYS some weight to be lost, something that looked fat to me. Good luck in your endeavor; and you do look fabulous. Keep telling yourself you look great, it will eventually…

I don't live there. I was born there. I haven't been there in 25 years! How is it now? I remember it being very Sesame Street-ish.

Holy Crap!

I am so blessed to have such good friends in my life. I'm still not truly understanding the impact of what has happened to me; I'm slowly figuring out all that has been done to me b/c of this accident. My friends are so loving and I just thank God that I am able to see them and my family. Some may see my living through…
