I use a face wipe called Acne sports wipes after each workout which seems to help keep the acne at bay. Hope this helps.

I think there are 100 ways to get to a destination. The journey you pick is your journey not anyone else's. I think if someone knew that you opted not to have the surgery and they did and they knew what you were trying to do, then they should be considerate and refrain or limit the amount of conversation they are have with…

Having complex carbs during the day is fine so eating it at breakfast is ideal since you have the whole day to burn it off and you need most of your energy at that time. I don;t see why you can't have a whole GRAIN bread with your breakfast..or even oatmeal. It's my go to carb in the mornings since it's low fat and…

Excessive amounts of red meat...everyday. Mashed potatoes with loads of butter. Movie theater pop corn, soda, wine, liquor, beer.

^^^ So practical. lol

It's whatever I can fit in. However I strength train 5-6days a week with cardio intervals on those same days. I train every part of my body for the entire week.

I just let mine dry. Or you can use the dry shampoo.

1/2 c Egg whites 1/2 c uncooked oatmeal whole grain Stevia--2tbl 1/4 c Pumpkin puree 1/8 tsp Pumpkin pie spice Blend all ingredients in blender and cook like regular oatmeal.

Yup..that's the 100 year war X 20. lol

CPA/CFE here :)

here's a video..you don't have to do the push up part to be a burpee. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7MGljX4bbps

Your own body weight is plenty to get your strength training in. Just do more reps of exercise including: push ups, lunges, bear crawls, planks, leg lifts, lunges, squats, arm circles, arm raises... Hope that helps.

You're suppose to eat 1g of protein for each lb you weigh. The MFP settings are very low and based on the food pyramid...which has been found to be incorrect. I take in 120-130g protein daily, from shakes, eggs, tofu, nuts, and of course meat (which I know you won't eat). Xoxo

I love love love spin class. That's where I lost my first 20 lbs. Great cardio workout. You can pick different classes too that focus on different things...like cadence, speed, or strength. Give it a try...for at least 3-5 classes. If you dislike it after that, then at least you gave it a good try.

Nope never ate a "girl cheese sandwiches." But thank you for the response. No ma'am. No expert here. Just another gal trying to lose weight because of poor choices. Just sharing the advice I received from my physician (M.D.), trainer (Masters degree in physiology and nutrition) , and nutritionist (Bachelors degree in…

30 minutes. But if I know I am working out, I do not eat a heavy meal beforehand.

Only protein settings are set low on MFP. Carbs are actually set higher .

I don't know what your diary looks like but the main culprits are bread, pasta, rice, etc. Cut the portions in half and see how that works for you.

When you look for bread, look for "whole grains" not "whole wheat." I eat P28 bread which has 28 grams of protein in 2 slices. :)

Yes it plays a MAJOR factor in your weight...along with what you ate and drank will give you fluctuated readings.

Here's the great thing... YOU looked at your diary and actually analyzed it instead of just blindly logging. YOU used the app/website the way it was intended. YOU are on your way to successfully achieving your goals. So pick your chin up and do it! You've just made one HUGE step...acknowledging the issue.

I also get hypoglycemic without food so I eat 6 meals a day...smaller portions for each meal. Also, it keeps me from being ravenous and feeling completely starving waiting for my next meal. That's what works for ME...different for everyone.

:drinker:

It really depends on your max heart rate. I try to reach 155-165 then decrease to 130s. Try increasing your running pace to where you are not just jogging but actually fast pace run. Hope that helps.

If you have an Iphone, there's an app that shows you a graph, your BMI, and lbs to lose till target date. The app is called Target Weight. MFP app also has it if you do not want to go online and create the graph. It's under the "progress" tab. Hope this helps.

You have no idea how much that gets on my nerves!!!

That's a temporary weight loss consisting of dropping water weight only. It is not a permanent solution. Unless you are trying to make a fitness show or some other competition where you need to weigh in...I wouldn't do it. It'll come right back once you rehydrate.

Welcome to MFP. Good luck on your journey. :)

Lunges, squats, cable kickbacks, jump lunges, pop squats, and those abductor/adductor machines do work as a little supplement...don't ignore them completely. I use them to target the area specifically ---along with the above named exercises.

I've worn heels all of my professional life and my heels were no less than 3". I wore them at 170lbs and now at 130lbs. The main mistake people make is the type of heel and the shoes really do matter. Cheaper shoes are VERy uncomfortable and are not made well so it tends to make your feet hurt. Also, look for a heel that…
