Little help please :)
Stats: 220lbs, F, 33 years old, 5'6 and current activity level includes: 3-4 lifting sessions per week of minimum an hour, average walking 30-60 minutes per day, swimming 30 mins a couple times per week. I am pretty sedentary other than that as I am between jobs at the moment, but I do have a two year old who expends a bit…

I have learned my lesson....
I learned my lesson... I am never posting on the general MFP forums again. I got ripped apart over and over today with a bunch of crap! But the biggest load was "lifting should not be counted towards your TDEE, only cardio". It seriously reminded me of the older ladies in my gym coming from their cardio class and making a…

Undereating....
I just read a thread that had users going off on someone about "starvation mode". They were saying it doesn't exist and there is no way you wouldn't lose weight if you under eat. I call bullsh**!! I don't know if it is called starvation mode or just your body adapting to how much you eat and becoming more efficient. Call…

Running and your cycle (men.. proceed with caution)
I am curious if being on your period causes changes in your body that would make it harder to run? I had my baby almost 7 months ago and started getting my period about 2 months after she was born. I have been getting it multiple times per month and I find it a little harder to run but since it normally only lasts 4-5…

Clean eating?
Does anyone have some good resources I can use for clean eating? I would think I eat rather well, but not "clean". I would like to give it a try. There are things that are clear to me like fruit and veggies being clean and meats and fish. There are other things that are unclear to me like whole wheat crackers being…

Hey all!! I am new to the group. I just had my first baby 2 weeks ago.

Leg Presses
This question is more for the ladies, but anyone feel free to answer. Who does leg presses and what kinda weight are you pressing? I am curious because when I go to the gym (all women's gym), the highest I have seen anyone do was 70 lbs. I started at 175 lbs at the beginning of November... and am now able to do 315 lbs.…

Weights and weight gain
OMG!!! I finally started getting into weights, in addition to my cardio and bam!!! The scale jumped up 15 lbs in a month and a half. Normally I would not believe it possible that this is all muscle but my clothes still fit and are even getting a little looser. I didn't update the new weight in its entirity on here cause I…

Standing at work
I started a new job this week and have been feeling the need to eat the house down. I am currently working 8-5 and only off of my feet for the hour I am on lunch which I remove my shoes since my feet are not used to this kind of treatment. Walking for long periods is okay...but standing that long kills them. What I am…

Damn bikinis....
I recently purchased a trip with one of my bestest girlfriends to Cuba. We don't go until November, but I wanted to go peek for some swimsuits. Now, I know I don't have this amazing body so I opted for the tankini. I have one I purchased last summer but its way too big now. I went into 3 stores and felt defeat in each one.…

If a food scale and MFP had a baby....
this would be it!!! My food scale's display started going a couple days a go and I found the "Nutriional Food Scale" from Starfrit at Canadian Tire on sale for $23, normally $50 so I bought it. IT IS AMAZING!! -codes for loads of foods that you can input, then weigh your food and it tells you the amount of calories, carbs,…

76 lbs lost
My starting weight was 268 lbs. Currently am 192 lbs. A 76 lb loss and a whole lotta confidence later :) I still have another 42 lbs to go, but I am determined to get there. It has not always been easy.. I have fallen off the wagon a few times but I always seem to find my way back on.

major NSV!!!
Yesterday I decided to try on my goal pants after my weigh in and woohoo!!! I am now a 12-14!!! Fits perfectly!! If that wasn't enough, I went into what I call the skinny box. An old box of clothes from when I was much smaller but kept promising myself I would lose the weight eventually and get into. Well, 10 years later…

Popular Brands and Food????
When I went to log in earlier, this was at the bottom of the MFP homepage prior to logging in. I seperated the foods so it was easier to read but I left them in the same order. Popular Brands And Foods: Arby's Buffalo Wild Wings Burger King California Pizza Kitchen Cheesecake Factory Chipotle Cold Stone Creamery Dairy…

a small NSV for me :)
After my shower, I started getting dressed. I put my belt on and thought it was a little loose so I went for the next hole... and didn't find one lol Guess its time for a new belt... and maybe some new jeans too :)

unsalted whole wheat crackers?
I was wondering if anyone knew of any unsalted whole wheat crackers I can put in my soup. They have the regular soda crackers unsalted but I can't seem to find whole wheat. I only use these for soup as I normally eat the low sodium whole wheat triscuits for a snack. I'm in Canada as well, so please keep that in mind when…

I absolutely love my digital food scale
I have had for a while but I was just thinking how great it is when I was using it to weigh out my dinner portions for later this evening. Anybody else love thier food scale?

He wins... the coat dies...
I have this nice black adidas jacket that I wore for years and loved. My boyfriend hates it and while having friends over last night he mentioned that he hoped it goes to die this year cause of how much weight I lost. I tried it on for the fun of it and oh my... everyone started laughing cause I looked like a child wearing…

I used my stationary bike which I haven't used in a long time since I have been running and doing other fun stuff but it was raining this morning so I did that since I couldn't go for my run instead of nothing. Its got of those HRM that just look like pads on the handle bars (not sure how accurate they can be) where you…

Advice on how to get more calories in...
I am used to eating around 1200-1300 calories and was told recently that when I exercise that isn't enough. I have found I am able to get higher calories in but seems at the cost of some of my fruits and veggies. I don't like the feeling of being too full and I have no idea how to up my intake without feeling like I have…

Thinking about running...
I have cut down considerably in the last few months smoking in the hopes to quit in the near future. I am doing this because I want to gain more lung capacity to start running. We have something called the pace way here which is a very long paved path (12 1/2 km each way) where you can run, roller blade or bike on. I biked…
