I want to talk to the MEN
Looking for some way to motivate my man. :smile: Two-part post: First, from a guy's perspective, what can I do- as a concerned wife- to help my husband get in better shape? Is there anything I should do? Second, looking for success stories from men who are of similar build to my husband. Every time I find what I think is a…

anybody ski?
We were given two sets of cross country skis (used, but hey!) I've never done this before. Figured out right away that the boots were WAY too small for my feet, so I'm waiting on a pair I just won off ebay. In the meantime I've been trying to find info online. Found a couple of videos on youtube, but just wondered if…

Reached my goal- then started slacking...
Oops. I reached my first goal of 170, got down to about 165 for a couple weigh-ins, then kinda crept back up to 175. :blushing: I'd love to get down to an "athletic" body type which means I need to get to about 147 (female, age almost 35-eek! and I'm between 5'11" and 6') Has this happened to you? What did you need to…

Any Extended Breastfeeders?
I'm still bf'ing my 15mo on demand, day and night. Well, the phrase "on demand" sounds like that's all I'm doing all the time, but she's really not a demanding kind of baby. I think she nurses once or twice during the day and a couple of times during the night (we co-sleep) unless she's having a grumpy day and then it is…

progress... I'm really making progress! :)
Here is a picture of me holding baby Mary, now almost 4 years old: Here is a picture of me holding baby Lucy, taken on her 1st birthday July 5th: I think most moms who've had more than a couple pregnancies label their weight according to corresponding children.. I now weigh what I did before I got pregnant with my third…

such a very stupid question about bike riding
How do you sit on a bike seat w/o it hurting your butt? I've found that it is more comfortable if I sit leaning toward my tailbone rather than sitting straight up on my "sit bones". So I'm basically tucking my pelvis and making a "C" curve in my back. I hope that makes sense... Is that the right way to sit on a bike or is…

juicing- figuring calories?
We just got our first juicer. :smile: Would like to know how I figure calorie content of all these wonderful concoctions we shall be making! Does the juice contain the same amount of calories as the veggie/fruit from which it came? TIA! :smile:

When will I stop being "fat"?
I'm having a hard time accepting compliments on my weight loss, even though I'm anxious to know whether it is something others can notice. I've lost a lot of weight (36 pounds from my highest not-pregnant weight) and I'm down four sizes. I can't gracefully accept compliments because I still feel fat. I don't want to see…

first-time 5K runner
I didn't know I could jog any distance until we invested in a treadmill last weekend. I ran the pre-programmed 5K today with incline mostly between 1-3%. My time was 34:01. I'm not sure how that would compare for what's typical in my age bracket (I'm 34yo) but since I was going to try to average 5mph, I beat my goal by…

gonna do p90x with my kid :)
I'm planning to start a round of p90X in October and my 15yo boy wants to do it with me. Should I be concerned about him injuring himself, or any other special considerations due to his age? don't wanna stunt his growth or something, LOL! TIA

Mom of Many :)
I've been using MFP for a few days now, and I really like it so thought I'd introduce myself here. I'm Jennifer, 33, married 15 years with seven kiddos ages 15 to six weeks. At 5'11" I've set my goal weight for 170, but I'm really looking to tone up while I loose body fat. So that's just my best guess where I need to be. I…
