I'm no professional, but . . . It sure seems to me that if you are otherwise healthy, exercising now is not going to jeopardize your long term health. In fact, I would say just the opposite. Overweight people suffer more from joint pain than healthy weight people because of the stress the weight puts on their body.…

remember - it's your LIFE. Yes, you want to lose, but don't lose your life while you're losing the weight. In the long run it will even out and you'll probably appreciate all the great food you had today even more since you're not eating it all the time.

would appreciate knowing which model this is if you don't mind sharing . . .

Great Problem! But don't throw in the donation pile - keep it as a reminder of where you've been and where you'll never go back to. When you reach your goal weight you can frame all the belts you've gone through!

I like your idea of exercising for the "snack" calories or any calories over. Exercise is really important both for overall health and for upping your metabolism to burn more calories during the day. As for the hunger before meals: one thing to try is a big drink (won't necc. curb hunger but gives your mouth something to…

from various replies I've seen on the site over the last few months, I'd say it varies a lot from person to person. Some people have said their heart rate monitor reads less calories than MFP, but other people have said their hrm reads more than MFP. I think it has a lot to do with your height (which is not taken into…

It's hard for me to understand a mom who doesn't want to support her daughter in being healthy AND in losing weight. It makes me wonder if she has some issues of her own. Is she overweight and doesn't want to face it? Did/does she have issues with the culture's focus on physical beauty? Understanding her might help you…

I would say it really depends on your personality. Be sure to do something you can stick with. Will you get too discouraged with a harder video? Will you injure yourself trying too hard? Will you let yourself slide too much with an easier video? I do think it's good to change your exercise routine every few months (I've…

not a single one of these gals is smiling! is that part of "the look" for a black dress? I say, wear what makes you feel beautiful, no matter what color it is. But, personally, I don't think these black dresses are making the best of what the models have to offer.

couple of possibilities: * go for the young hip look and leave the holes; but zig-zag stitch around the edges of the holes so they don't get bigger (I did this recently for my teenager's favorite pair of jeans) * patch from the inside: put a patch, but make it out of jeans fabric (from an older pair that bit the dust or a…

Stayed up too late eating junk food. Guess today is a loss. stalling on going to bed. but I know that once I get horizontal I'll be sorry I didn't go an hour ago. So here I go to hit the sack. Goodnight!

I have had good success on 2 different scars with a product called "bio oil" it was reccommended by the doc office that did one of the surgeries. bought it at Walmart. I was skeptical at first, but now I swear by it! The small bottle lasts a long time.

I am currently battling the piece of pumpkin pie on the counter that my husband told me he would eat a couple days ago... [/quote] "If I eat it I will be saving my husband/family etc. from it and they need to be healthy too"

weeeelllll. If you're only doing 30 min. of cardio and no strength training and eating back your calories, I'd say that's it right there. Working out for a longer time (I've heard 45 minutes, but I'm no expert) keeps your metabolism up for several hours after you exercise. So instead of just burning the calories while…

some smart ideas posted here already. Most restaurants have salads that can be main dishes with meats added (chicken ceasar, etc.) Just be ready for the glares you'll get from the gals who want the fried food and you're making them look bad! ; – )

I notice the face first, but put more stock in the body. reason: there's not much you can do about the face you were born with, but a hot bod means he cares about his body and how he looks. Plus there's just no denying that sex is more fun with a hot bod.

But you will become more coordinated as you dance more, and dancing is a great way to engage your core. My advice: mix it up. After you do one exercise for a long time your body adjusts to it and you don't burn as many calories doing it. So whatever you choose, when it starts to get easy, switch to something else, or add…

You are SUPPOSED to be sweating! But ChrisStoney has a good idea to bring a second shirt. Even if it's just to drive home, I don't want that sweat all over my car seat. (I have ocassionally been desperate enough to get the "dog towel" from the back of the car to create a barrier between my sweat and my car seat.) My…

just a heads up: if you've never had it be advised that it is made mostly from beans (chickpeas are more bean than pea). If beans give you gas, go easy at first

How about special time to yourself. (Do you have kids? might need to swap childcare with a friend) Hours on end to read a book; Or how about girl's night in for movies?

his idea could help you burn off the calories from the bread!

That is exactly what I am about to eat. The plain quaker oats are cooking on the stove right now! I add vanilla low fat yogurt. gives it good flavor (it's like adding milk) and keeps me feeling satisfied all morning. I make a pot of oatmeal once a week, portion it out and refridgerate, then the rest of the week I heat my…

Asking your kids if you can have a piece of their candy is a great health strategy and great way to teach your children about politeness, theirs vs. mine, etc. etc. First we throw away everything they don't like. Then we freeze the rest. They get out one a day. After a few days they end up forgetting about it. We've even…

I'm no medical expert, but I once had a student with celiacs and he could not eat wheat products. You might want to research it.

I think most people are truly trying to be supportive and they just don't think long enough before they speak. Try to take it in a positive light - They Noticed!

Labs are great runners and very "people friendly" They tend to have "puppy energy" for a good 3-4 years before they settle down. Consider adopting from your local animal control. You'll get lots of running in with a dog!

Good for you doing it now!! There is some magical (child's) age after which it moves from being "baby fat" to "my fat." I'm glad for you that you're getting rid of it!
