Weight lifting- Where do I start???
So I've realized everyone here on MFP does the whole lifting thing and I want to try doing more than just cardio. Mind you though, I'm only 6 pounds lost and 100 to go. I'm just starting to get my eating down so I'm pretty much a beginner. My question is, how long do you lift? I have a weight bench with tons of weights,…

Jessica Simpson What's your take?
Okay this is just my opinion. I love Jessica Simpson! I don't care for her music, but like her because she is honest! Most celebs say things like, "I love my body, I wouldn't want to put junk in it" or "I eat this way because it tastes better" Have any of these people had a whopper? I know I'm fat because I love food that…

Am I doing enough??? Should I try harder workouts???
Just curious... I've noticed a lot of people do high intensity workouts, P90X, Intensity, etc.. I've also noticed a lot of heavy lifting people.

What's the best workout for burning calories???
So I'm pretty new here and I have a question about workouts. I currently walk, do crunches, push-ups, play soccer with my kids, and do basic aerobics from time to time. My question is what is up with all the P90X and Insanity workouts? I know what P90X is and I just watched a video on Insanity, but are these workouts…

Alcohol
So I have a question. I am pretty new here and I'm on track with eating and exercise, but what about alcoholic beverages? I enjoy having a few drinks from time to time and I've noticed since joining that the couple of things I liked to drink are really high in calories. Anyone out there have any low calorie drinks they…

Fast food addictions
I'm really not kidding when I say I have developed a fast food addiction. What's really bad is that I can go without it, but as soon as I do eat it I start a downward spiral of getting it all the time. It's hard to go cold turkey with kids and a husband who do want it sometimes. This has only developed over the last two…
