Jillian michaels protein powder?
I've read many mixed reviews.. Very contradictive even lol. I'm hoping some of you guys have tried it and can let me know if it's worth getting. I have no idea about protein powders other than I know I need more protein in my recently fairly active lifestyle.

When do you start to see the difference?
I've lost about 45lbs. It's taken me close to 2 years to do it this time. I am just wondering when I should start to feel good about my loss? I still have somewhere around 100 lbs to lose.. I just don't see the loss yet. Almost 50lbs and I still don't see it in the mirror :( .. its so discouraging. I'm wondering when did…

Calories burned??
So I run outside doing intervals (c25k) and my heart rate monitor will tell me I burn any where from 550-650 calories (I'm just over 250lbs) when I calculate it online it says 420ish for calories burned. I guess it doesn't matter a ton because if I eat back my exercise it's only about half of them but I would like my…

Heart rate monitor calories question:
I am wondering again about heart rate monitor calories. If my heart rate monitor says I burn 500 calories during a work out how accurate is that and is it what I should be logging? Your body will burn a certain number of calories sitting and doing nothing just using the energy it needs to for breathing, keeping your heart…

Lifting heavy?
I see it posted all the time in the message boards about girls lifting heavy. What does that mean? How heavy (in lbs) is that? I lift crates and boxes all the time where I work anywhere from 35-65lbs that seems heavy to me lol. I'm very interested in strength training because I still have more than 100lbs to lose.…

Favorite motivational quote:
I have 2. The first one that has stuck with me for the past 6 months or so is: "I won't give up what I want most for what I want now." That one has gotten me thru a lot! The second and newest favorite quote is: "No one said it would be easy, they just said it would be worth it!" What gets u thru the day??

Muscle weighs more than fat?
I've seen this come up a lot and kind of laughed a little when I saw in a post a few minutes ago about 5lbs of muscle being more than 5lbs of fat... Reminded me of when a girlfriend of mine asked me which weighs more a pound if feathers or a pound of nails?? :) . Just sayin!!

Nsv!!
I've been hanging onto my fav pair of jeans for probably 8 years. Even when I wore them before had to lay down to zip them up! Now they fit perfectly and comfortably! 282lbs at size 26 now 250 at size 18!! I think the next nsv will be donating them!! :)

It's possible!!
Just going out on a limb here and thought some one might benefit from my story. I started out at 282lbs. I was eating 700-900 calories worth of food a day. I didn't understand how I could be so large and there was really no way to cut out any more food without becoming really unhealthy. My first doctor told me I was lying-…

Anyone vegetarian?
I'm looking for some new friends! Especially vegetarians. I recently kicked the meat habit (except fish) and would love to find some friends who are vegetarians. Hubby is pretty skeptical so would love to give and receive some support on mfp. Thanks!!

Vegitarian/vegan help?
I have wanted to go vegan for years. I tried it in high school but ignorance got the best of me then lol. Turns out you can't live very well on carrots, lettuce and bread. I'm a little older and I would like to think wiser :) I am setting a date that I'm going vegitarian. Shouldn't be a huge adjustment since I don't eat a…

Couch to 5k?
Who else is doing this? How are you doing with it? Does it work? I'm going to do day 3 tomorrow.. Hopefully I do better on day 3 than I did on day 2. Couldn't keep my breath for the last 2 intervals do had to walk em. Should I do the day over if I can't keep up with the whole workout? I like the idea of it, I just wonder…

Weird dream last night...
Lol.. I know what I think when I come across things like this! Dream interpreters: check this out ha ha! Anyway I had this dream that my friend had me try this new food which was not only a food but a mouthwash.. And if you used a little bit on your eyebrows it removed hair.. I'm sure it's not a coincidence that I've been…

From what I've found and heard It can contribute to all kinds of serious issues like cancers and bone and organ abnormalities. Also causes serious issues when trying to lose weight.

Ground black pepper?
Does this have calories? I want to believe it doesn't.. But I've been enlightened by seeing people log it. I don't have a label with calories on the back of my peppercorn bottle. 5 calories isn't much.. But it's enough to log if u have it on just about everything like I do!!

130lbs to go!
So I'm Jen. I have technically been a member since August, but actively since mid-November. I am using the weight management program thru my Dr.'s office. I'm supposed to be excersizing 3x a week and eating 1200 calories a day. I don't know how I would track that without mfp.. weight watchers made it fairly simple and i…
