Ladies, you will NOT bulk up by lifting heavy!
I just wanted to share my results from Body Beast to show women that you will NOT bulk up from heavy lifting and it will do your metabolism GOOD! See, I was an obese kid with a high weight of 200lbs in 8th grade (I was 5'6 at the time and I'm very small-boned so don't carry that kind of weight well). I was a size 18 with a…

Is anyone else getting a pop up while on MFP to download Adobe Flash?
This keeps popping up. One time, while not paying attention, I clicked on it by accident because it happens so fast, and my Norton blocked a Trojan from that pop up. It pops up once per day, ONLY when I'm on MFP. Has this happened to anybody else? If so, where do I report it?

Dating site or Fitness site?
I hadn't been on here a while but last I checked, this was My Fitness Pal, not Plenty of Fish. So why are guys asking me for nudies and girls posting their boobs as their profile pix?? lol

Have You Read Your Ingredient Lists Lately?
We talk about all the horrid little chemicals in McDonald's food, right? How come we aren't talking about all the horrid little chemicals in food that is labeled "healthy"? The pic below is the ingredients list for a WW cereal bar. Just because the package says it's healthy and good for you, doesn't mean that it is... READ…

Les Mills Combat results!
I will tell you this. My first week of Combat, I had realized it wasn't what I had expected at all! It was wayyyyy out of my comfort zone, and I don't think it should be LEGAL to include that many burpees in a program! But, I had put together a Challenge Group and it mattered very much to me that the other challengers in…

"American" food
Just curious... So, being the US we always hear phrases like "As American as apple pie" and I just saw a Ballpark Frank commercial where dude said "you don't get more American than Ball Park franks!" So, I wanna ask my non-US friends...do y'all have apple pie and hot dogs where you live? Please tell us where you're from…

What's Stopping You?
Why do you think it's so hard for you to just use the many tools available out there and commit to change? What do you think is stopping you?

Health Isn't a Seasonal Thing
Here's a though, peeps. Rather than rushing around every Spring trying to get "ready for summer", why don't you establish reasonable and sustainable lifestyle changes that you can stick with 12 months per year rather than crash dieting every Spring. The only summer prep I have to do is figure out where I can get the best…

Don't Judge Yourself by the Number on the Scale!
Here's why you should be less concerned with the number on the scale and more concerned with your measurements, how you feel, and how strong you're getting!! I am about the same weight in both pics!!

Why wouldn't you encourage your loved ones to get healthy?
I came across something very interesting in the past couple of months working with people who want to get healthy and in shape.... I've noticed that husbands are tend to be more supportive of their wives getting fit. But wives being supportive of their husbands getting fit? Eh....not so much. I thought that peculiar since…

Stop the Madness!
Just a thought I had earlier. Most normal, sane people wouldn't fall for a Get-Rich Quick Scheme, right? By now we all know they are BS. Why do SO many people still fall for the Get Thin Quick Scheme???

READ YOUR LABELS! Know what you're eating!
Even though I know better, do you know to this day that if something is labeled "healthy", I automatically pick it up and think "woo hoo! Found a great new food!"......until I read the ingredient list on the label? More times than not, I end up putting back the so-called "food" or even "frankenfood", dejected, and yet…

Don't give yourself an "out"!!
You decide you want to lose weight, get in shape, get healthier. When you set your goals, remove the word "IF" from your vocabulary. Instead of saying "I want to lose 40 lbs and if I do, I will get a bikini". Instead, say "I AM GOING to lose 40 lbs and WHEN I do, I'm buying a bikini". Remove the doubt from your words and…

I'm not perfect and pasta is NOT the enemy!
I wanted to post on here that I'm soooo not perfect...and then got sidetracked by a forum topic I saw while creating a new topic so I figured I'd kill 2 birds with one stone (just a touch of ADD lol). 1. Pasta isn't the enemy. Excessive consumption of white pasta is. Not whole grain or whole wheat pasta eaten in…

EAT GIRLS! EAT!!!!!!
Either there's an awful lot of starving young girls on here or they are all lying on their food diaries... EAT GIRLS!!!!!!!!! I'm twice your age, eat twice as much as you, and am smaller than some of you!! Stop the madness! Skinny is NOT where it's at, HEALTHY is! You're messing up your metabolisms and when you get to my…

Finally! My progress with ChaLEAN Extreme and P90X!
I think I'm more proud of the fact I finally got these pics resized (I hope) than my actual results! JEEZ! lol In my before picture, from February 2012, you would think I hadn't been working out. I had been doing my same old cardio and light weights, for years, and it was failing me. I was also sick the past 2 years and…

SENSA, REALLY??
So I'm scrolling thru my home page on FB and an old schoolmate posts asking for opinions on Sensa and if anyone has tried it. Anyone who knows me knows I sounded off loudly right away on that...as I lost my weight by exercise and portion control and have kept it off for 20 years..and my old classmates saw me lose the…

Diet Food
Just a rant. Remember that the diet industry actually has a special interest here, which is to KEEP YOU BUYING THEIR PRODUCTS! I've said it for years and they said it on "The Weight of the Nation". A product like Slim Fast, with artificial flavoring and 36 GRAMS OF SUGAR IN ONE SCOOP of the chocolate?? Partially…

If you eat "diet" ice cream, read this...
On the Today Show this morning they tested "diet" ice creams to see if their nutritional labels were accurate. Of course A LOT of them weren't, including the trusted Weight Watchers brand. More and more I'm learning that WW is more interested in their profit more than anything else! Copy and paste the link to read the…

Starting P90X Monday
So I finally decided to follow "Classic" rather than "Lean"...has anyone replaced Plyometrics with Cardio X? I read in the guide book that you can if you're not up for plyo but I just wanted feedback...Also, in the Nutrition Guide it says I should add 600 cals per day on days I do P90X and I wanna add the workouts into My…

ChaLEAN Extreme Before and After
I've been working out since 1996. I originally lost my weight in high school, 1987, but didn't go about it the right way since the information was not readily available back then about fitness and exercise and nutrition, so I was left with a lot of loose skin around my hips and thighs. As I'm getting older, it's become…
