Arm jiggle (women 30+)
Has any 30+ women been able to successfully get rid of arm jiggle? If yes what exercises did you use and how long did it take? Any befores and afters? I am getting a bit depressed over this issue and I start wondering if I will have to just get used to the arm jiggle?

I gained 33 or so kg during that pregnancy and had such a hard time losing the weight which led to my joining MFP in 2012.

5'8" Ladies, what's your ideal weight?

Activity Level?
I am really confused with setting activity level. I am not really sure what does each of the oiptions on http://scoobysworkshop.com/calorie-calculator/ actually mean. If I walk 3-5 hours a week it is not the same as walking 3 hours and lifting 2 hours... but it still isn't walking only 1-3 hours a week. So how do I decide…

Standing up all day?
Ok, here is the thing. I have a desk job. I sit all day. But, I can change the height of my desk in case I prefer to stand instead of sit.

How often shall I lift
I still haven't finished the book but have started looking for a suitable gym so I can start my strength training. I am not planning on doing cardio (other than walking as much as my time allows). My time is very limited and I will probably have to train in my lunch breaks (and they are only 30 minutes :( ). I am thinking…

Strength training
I know nothing about it... please point me in the right direction... how do I start? I cannot go to a gym at the moment, I might be able to do a bit at home (After midsummer I might be able to also get to a gym but before that it is impossible for me). Any recommendation will be very much appreciated and if anybody who can…

Ideas re night eating
I need advice re (medication induced) night eating. If one cannot avoid eating during the night and is overwhelmed by uncontrollable hunger, what food options are there to make the night eating as harmless as possible. Veggies don't help (not enough, not filling, don't satisfy the hunger). So far we have tried with lean…
