Before/After - Down 97.2 lbs - Bikini Pic
I've finally done it! Three years later and I've hit the goal weight I set for myself, down 97.2lbs. I started out on my own. I had to make very slow changes at first. I discovered MFP in August 2010 and lost the last 40 lbs a lot faster than the first 60. When I was 97lbs heavier, I could barely make it up my apartment…

Strength Training Routine
Hey all you lifters! I've lifted weights for about a year and a half now, but as I'm getting close to my goal now, I would really like to step up my lifting routine and want some opinions. I've done a lot of research, searching the forums here, online, and I'm currently reading a book and I'm still not getting enough of…

Ketosis and Primal dieting??
I really like the science behind the primal diet and in recent weeks have tried to make the switch to lowering my carbs and eating lean proteins and veggies more. I've been studing ketosis, which is the means by which the primal diet works. The body burns its own fat for fuel instead of burning carbohydrates for fuel.…

Wedding Dress almost 10 years later!
For my birthday I was planning on putting on my wedding dress to see if it would fit and had a very nice surprise! I had to clutch 4-5 inches of fabric because I drown in it now. :) I was fairly fit when I got married, so I'm overjoyed. Hubby and I will have been married 10 years next summer and I'm happy to say I'm…

Whey Protein
Is it common when getting used to whey protein for it to upset your stomach and make you feel nauseous? I haven't heard anyone talk about it and I've been feeling ill.

Dare I think the word.... sick?
For the last 24 hours I've really been trying hard to ignore the thought that maybe I'm getting sick, but I have been taking zinc just in case. I never get sick and haven't been sick in a long while. I'm trying to do everything I can in the next couple of days to either prevent or lessen any sickness or effects of sickness…

Sugar ?!
So I just have to say it... I DON'T care about my sugar levels! LOL! My question to you is am I being stubborn and should I? Except for occasional splurges, the majority of my sugar intake is from natural sources, mostly fruit. I refuse to believe that I have to stay away from food that has the good nutrients my body…

Hi all! So when I need to quickly up my protein, what's a quick high protein snack that I can grab without cooking?? I usually eat eggs, but I'm talking about when I'm running late and just want to grab something quick. I can't think of that many things besides supplements and protein bars and I really don't want to go…

Fast Weight Loss???
I have only been on the site for about a week now and I've lost 7 lbs. I wouldn't normally be one to complain about this, lol, but I've lost weight quickly before and know it's not healthy and damages your body. I'm only looking to lose 1.5 lbs a week and I've been on this journey for 2 yrs. now. I was previously losing…

Strength Training Question..
I've been on this journey about two years now with diet and cardio and have in recent months added strength training. I definitely see the differences in my body and muscle composition and am loving it! My question for those experienced weight trainers out there is how does this factor into calorie burn at all?? Does it?…
