  • I agree with bethie0828 too! If they don't say anything to you in person, you can bet they say good things behind your back! I overheard a guy friend talking about another woman. His exact words were, "She lost a lot of weight. I mean, she looked great before, but she looks even hotter now!" So, keep your head up, flaunt…
    in Do people constantly compliment your weight loss or ignore i Comment by ylin January 2010
  • After speaking with a personal trainer, I was told that you should do cardio as often as possible. You should alternate strength training with different muscles of the body (upper body one day, lower body the next) and you can actually add strength training on top of cardio. For example, you can run 5-6 days of the week…

  • yup... not a good idea! your body's in starvation mode. the first time i lost weight with mfp, i prob ate about 800-1000 cals a day, only because by the end of my day, i was too tired to eat. i thought i was in the best shape of my life, but then i got sick. it took a while for my immune system to recover, and since then,…

  • i would call the 24 hour hotline with your health insurance carrier and speak to a nurse regarding your situation first. when i went on vacation to Europe, i had shoes that supported my feet poorly and they quickly became swollen walking on cobblestones and such. they were VERY swollen. my ankles, feet, and calves looked…

  • ditto to fufi's advice and also don't forget that muscle weighs more than fat. don't worry about weight as much, as long as you feel more fit and toned! good luck! :flowerforyou:

  • I agree with the others... either burn the extra 500, or eat a salad for dinner. If you allow yourself to slide, then you may do so again at a later time, resulting in you not sticking to your diet. Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Online Calorie Counter
    in question... Comment by ylin March 2009
  • I also agree with Rita. I myself work 3-4 12 hour shifts a week, graveyard shifts, sitting down the entire time. I've gained 20-25 pounds since September. That's about a steady 5 lbs a month! I kept telling myself I'd go to the gym after work, but after 2 months, I realize that's not happening. After being humiliated my…
    in Working too many hours....... Comment by ylin March 2009
  • A pound a week is safest. You don't want to put your body in starvation mode or your metabolism will go down which is bad in the long run. My trainer at the gym told me that if I were to burn 3500 calories a week (500 cal/day, or a pound a week), I should be drinking 11 cups of water a day. Water breaks down all the fat…

  • My sister is 3 years younger than me and used to be known as the runt of the family. Of course, that's in her favor! She's 5'4" and has always been a size 0 or 1, weighing 98-105 lbs. I'm a few inches taller than her, and have always been at least 30 lbs heavier. I sometimes despise going to family functions because…
