This is why I love MFP... look at all the support! I did see someone who said they wanted to "loose it fast" Here is what I have learned: 1. In the first weeks of starting exercise program most folks gain weight because muscle weighs more than fat. SO don't just weigh yourself... MEASURE to see what your body is really…

BEST wishes to you. There are some amazing success stories on here from people who started out just like you. Here are some things I have learned: 1. In the first weeks of starting exercise program most folks gain weight because muscle weighs more than fat. 2. NEVER eat less than about 125O calories... OR try to loose too…

Even healthier if you make your own pizza sauce rather than the store bought variety. Costco has a great Tuscan spice mix that is great for this purpose.

Hi Sue! I just qualified for the senior discount myself. I have been here for over a month now and think it is great. Get a good profile and dive in. The people here (for the most part) are really nice and supportive (ignore the jerks '-) Things I have learned: 1. In the first weeks of starting exercise program most folks…

Sorry to be disagreeable, but I do disagree that it is a "very tough journey." I do agree that the people on here are (for the most part) pretty great though. Here is my take to make your journey a pleasure: 1. In the first weeks of starting exercise program most folks gain weight because muscle weighs more than fat. 2.…

Hi. I am sorry people were mean to you. I have been laughed at myself for different reasons throughout my life... "Hey 4 eyes" or "you are so lame you can't hit the ball out of the infield." Yeah, I was the 4 eyed un-athletic nerd. Like you I had to over come on my own. Now I am not saying that my appearance and lack of…

SMACK... Hi Sally

3-4 times a week but I only record on Monday mornings. Mary Lou Rettin says she does not allow a scale in her home. (Famous Olympic gymnast)

Don't focus on weight loss, focus on learning to live healthy!

My favorite snacks are: Dreyer's frozen fruit bars Dried Mangos Sorbet ... an apple is good too

I like to reward myself by eating back SOME of them. It motivates me to exercise more.

My advice: 1. Continue regular exercise doing things you LIKE to do for long term success 2. Never eat less than 1250 calories 3. Reward yourself by eating back SOME of your exercise calories 4. Your plateau was reached probably because your body felt "famine" was coming, so eat a bit more to reassure it (100 more calories…

I do this with just a frozen banana, non-fat milk and cocoa powder for a great chocolate banana milk shake! no sweetner or other ingredients necessary... although adding strawberries is good too!

I am sure the UK has an equivalent of our FDA... WRITE TO THEM.
-
Counting the calories may work for you, but the point is most people miss that entirely as you see here with fitness savvy persons! WRITE LETTERS!
-
... actually I think it is a 1/4 second spray! Who can do that??? LIES. Write your letters folks... its the only way to get change. The FDA must hear from ALL of us!

WOW.... Congratulations! You are HOT... '-)

Riding my bike 10 miles which I had not done in over 2 years.

Never eat LESS than 1250 calories per day. You put your body into starvation mode and it retains fat to "protect" you. It took you YEARS to get to the size you are, don't try to loose it all too quickly. If you do loose it too quickly, the chances are you will gain it back later. Proper exercise. Healthy eating. Weight…

My suggestion is start by meeting a REASONABLE exercise goal. Find something to do that you ENJOY and do it as much as you can. I enjoy walking and riding my bike. I know that I will not use a gym membership, I will not train for a marathon, I will not lift weights. SO.... I do what I like to do and it works for me. Once…

Best of luck to you. My advice would be to avoid the fad diets and exercise and just learn to live healthy. Use MFP to track yourself to help you learn, but eat the food pyramid, don't starve yourself and figure out an exercise program you ENJOY doing. I like to ride my bike and walk, so that's what I do. You can do it!

First, in this economy don't quit until you have something else lined up that is a sure thing. Second, NEVER burn a bridge. If you quit, do so with class... a handshake, a smile and "thanks for the opportunity."
