running with Exercise-Induced Urinary Incontinence
Exercise-Induced Urinary Incontinence is a "thing". What are your tips? I've been googling around for running tips with this. Kegel exercises are helpful for some, but for others with actual damage or prolapse this is just a laughable answer. Besides that pat answer I've read to definately don't run with a adult diaper.…

What does 1500 calories look like
I'm a 5'2", 50 yr old woman, 130lbs, "good" body fat %, size 4-6 pants, and small size tops. I like to not be hungry, and being an older, small female I get less calories! I noticed a lot of people have very little food in their diary and are not aware of how much food you can really eat. 1500 is around how many calories I…

Hotter Than Hell bean Chili with very little meat
Makes possibly 22 one cup servings of hot spicey chili that freezes very nicely! I vary it according to the peppers and onion I have available, or the tomato I can find without salt (why is that so hard???), but always the jalapeno's. The version I made tonight with double the kidney beans was: 22g protein, 240 calories,…

'ol ladies running
Poise vs pads? After 4 babies some days are harder than others to run. I'm up to 3 miles. It's aggrivating to have to stop. It's impossible to know when a bad day is until it happens. What if I was running outside?

Hey measurement liars!
Discouraged because your weight and inches aren't changing while you are working so hard at it? Pour 12 oz into different 12 ounce containers of different shapes. Shape and weight can remain the same and be a totally different look. If you know your clothes fit different, then you know you have changed. It's success, keep…

Nearly 50 pounds before I turn 50 with pictures
Today I feel 15 years younger. I'm as thin as my thinnest as an adult, but much more fit. I started MFP last June or July with a rocky start on a trip. I got the hang of it and just passsed my one year mark of consistantly logging on. I keep trying to pick "cleaner" and eat "better" but I eat what I want, and try to work…

Hell Yeah Fat Lady!
500lb, or so, woman at the pool yesterday when I was swimming laps. It took her the entire 30 minutes I was in the lane to walk across the pool at neck deep water. When I was first starting to get going I did 10 minutes in my slippers in my bedroom on a piece of equipment and that was all I could do. Know what I thought…

Healthy Food Labels -repost
Well I must have done somthing wrong. Here's the SHORT version! LOL! I read in NYT's the efforts on new food labels to try and make it plain what is healthy and not healthy when shopping. I think it's missing the mark a little. The main food groups are protein, fats, carbs. Diabetic diets are based on carbs now, often.…

Sports Bras for Bigguns
I lost a lot of weight on top, thank goodness! But I know that a sports bra is a challenge for women! My daughter can't find her size in stores, so had to go online. After DD you are stuck with some poor choices, especially if you don't live in a city. I bought her one from this website and I thought it might help others…

30 lb bag of dog food, carry that around all day!
Look at me!! I can't tell you how surprised I am that I actually was able to do this, and it's working! I've lost almost 30 pounds, more than half way there, when I thought last year I was doomed to be a old round woman. I was seeing clothes at the store and judging them by "would a round old lady wear this?" or "this…

Categorize This!
I did "The Biggest Looser Cardo Max" DVD level 1. I have a couple more new video's like this and I want to do them and put them in MFP. So would that best fit into turbo jam kick boxing, calestenics high impact, or aerobics? It had small weights and high cardio. It was a heavy workout for me! What would you put it down as?

This month I've noticed that I feel successful and good at this diet - exercise - lifestyle change. So I've been sliding in food I shouldn't be eating to stay on my calorie goals and…

Make your own burger?
I got a grinder for my kitchen aide after reading enough about how nasty ground beef can be, how hard it is to trace back to only one animal or even only one country, and what additions might be in it. Anyway, Which calorie numbers should I use? I have used ground chuck, for example. Chuck Roast is a lot different in…

Not loosing as fast as I expected
I love MFP. I felt like I've worked harder than ever, for longer than usual, to not have lost anything at all. I went to reports and looked at all the graphs. I am at a stand still, but only a week's worth. Not as bad as it feels! I have been more consistant in diet and exercise, which was the dissapointment. But at least…

turkey gobble vs double chin
So I'm on my way to loosing my double chin. I'm still dedicated to loosing it. My concern is will it be replaced by a older lady turkey gobble!?! I'm not one to spend buckets of money on beauty procedures. I'm nearing 50, not afraid to look older. But how sad if I gained a loose neck.

It's harder for women over 45?
I used to easily loose weight and tone up quickly. In the last 5 years if I work at it really hard I loose very little. But if I don't work at it I gain 10 pounds a year! Is it harder over 45?
