I turned 60 this year, and have lost over 90 lbs and work out regularly also...if you need some motivation/help/suggestions add me and we'll work on this together!!!

My daily intake varies depending upon the amount of exercise I do. My biggest problem was that I hit a plateau, and stayed in the same place for almost 6 months. Until I started eating back my exercise calories. So I now eat between 1200 and 2000 depending on my exercise level. 2. I tried the monitor carbs, fat blah blah…

Exactly. If you go to this site : http://www.superskinnyme.com/Weight%20Loss/Exercise/Cardiovascular%20Exercise/HIIT.html you'll se that there is no specific calculator. As others have said, a HRM is the answer. Since I do my HIIT on a treadmill, i can monitor HR on there...or stop and calculate to ensure in zone....

hahaha, that was pretty funny. I am very much like you. People haven't been rude, and trust me my verbal/typing skills are second to none when it comes to rippin' off a few good repartees...but that being said, I feel that sometimes I over react, and yak too much to people... pointing out things I see that they could…

a 5 K= 3.1 miles therefore 1K =.62 miles or there abouts.

Well one can call it "storing" or not....I know for a fact, that I was taking in less than I was expending and NOT Losing weight. I don't think of it in terms of really "storing" I think joejccva71 was right and said it more clearly....your metabolism slows down saving what it can to perform those functions. All I know is…

One day shouldn't set you back too badly however, it also depends on the type of calories you ate....My guess is that it will show through water weight gain....holding on to the foods you ate. Just don't sweat it, and move on.

Not necessarily the more you lost the more you need to eat....it's really relative to expenditure of calories. When you are 100 lbs over weight (like I was) Left over calories were fine...the closer you get your your ideal/goal weight the more you have to tweak the system. Now you become like everyone else.... Your body…

Unless you're crazy (in my humble opinion) Running is not fun! Sweating your brains out is not fun.... BUT Remember that exercise comes in all manners...and not only does it help you lose weight, it builds your INTERNAL parts....cardio for your heart and lungs, building muscle to help your joints....It also decreases…

Amen... got the idea...and yes....trust it! Oh yeah...and BUMP! *lol*

I know, I was afraid too.... and I even gained about .6 lbs the first day...but stay with it...I had been starving my poor body... I just said, I'd try it for two weeks and if it didn't work I had nothing to lose....but wait....I did...weight. *lol* Let me know how it goes for you... Dee

Of course we burn calories...*lol* I am sure most of us forget that doing daily chores, like vacuuming driving, etc burn them. That's a good suggestion, however, don't get carried away with that. When MFP calculates your sorta BMR as you fill out the goals, remember that takes it into consideration. If you are not a couch…

Hi to all new and older members!!!! This journey is one that we shouldn't take by ourselves...we need those that understand us, each other. I have only been here a week and I love it!! The support is amazing, the tips are great and there is always someone that actually "gets" where you are in this weight loss journey.…

Congrats! I was baffled by the NSV so Had to look it up.....I guess I am too old for figuring some of this "lingo" out! *lol* Again congrats on the "Non-Scale-Victory" (NSV for those like me that had no idea what it meant!)

I had a Fleur-De-Lis tummy tuck done at the end of March, this year. I know that the first 3-5 days are the worst. Once the major pain medications wear off (from the hospital) it is pretty rough, but the one thing I did notice is that every day the pain lessened. I agree the drains are the worst...*lol* I also had some…

Hiya I'm new here too, only been on for about 4 or 5 days, and I feel the same way. However, I already lost about 90+ lbs and couldn't seem to lose any more, so I started on here...and I agree with you I am FULL. You are doing this right....feed to fuel the body to lose weight... Otherwise it shuts down.... You'll…
-
I was doing the same thing for months UNTIL I started on here. I found out that I was NOT eating enough and my body seemed to be going into hibernation. Now with MFP I find that I needed to eat MORE to burn the calories I was taking in.... Another suggestion is to maybe change up your cardio work outs. Cross training…

Remember to shed the notion of what a "meal" constitutes. Just look at your calorie goal for the day and divide it by 4 or 5 and fit those calories in there when you can. I don't know about "fruit cups", but what about just plain ole Fruit? Or yogurt like CarbMaster or Greek Yogurt? The concept I use, is sorta like…

Hiya Ziggie First of all, welcome. Secondly you have to get rid of the notion that we should eat three meals a day! My meals are not what would be considered meals, but "snacks" all day long. You need to eat 5-6 mini meals throughout the day. I never used to eat breakfast, now I have a 1/2c of Oatmeal, Protein powder and a…

I don't know about "big boned" but certainly there are different body "frame" sizes. From petite to Large. Measuring the wrist, and shoulders usually will show a difference between folks. I have always said, no matter how thin I get, even my skeleton will not be able to wear a 'small'. Broad shoulders, no…

I know that you feel that the junk food will help....But it will only make you feel miserable after. So many times I wanted to pick up a cigarette or a bowl of ice cream with bad news....but then I think....6 months smoke free.... 91 lbs down...NO NO NO NO, I am not gonna go back there...ever again. You can do this....walk…

To those that are just getting started on their weight loss journey GOOD LUCK and KNOW you can do it! It took me almost 2 years to lose the…
