Worse than useless advice
I lost weight with MFP while I was training for a Spartan race. After the race was over, I slacked off on my exercise and, I ate a bunch of junk and gained my weight back. I knew winter was coming, my outdoor exercise was over and so I decided to join a gym. I joined a gym at the spa I go to. I like it because it's not…

Post workout fuel
Saw this information online today and checked it out with other sites. Apparently quite accurate. The Move: Upgrade Your Post-Workout Snack The Benefits: Sports scientists have long advocated having a bite after exercising to help promote muscle repair. An even more compelling reason: less belly fat. Exercise activates…

What do you eat.
I've been reading on other boards,the complaint that they just can't eat as many calories as this board suggests or that they just aren't hungrier than 1200 calories (or less if they don't eat back exercise calories). I confess that when I first started this journey and had to sometimes find close to 800 calories between…

Heavy lifting

I need someone to explain this one thing
I've made this into a separate topic because it's the one thing I don't understand. My cut value is 2000 and my BMR is 1500. I understand what you are saying to be eat to my cut value on rest days and on workout days, don't eat back my exercise calories unless I burn over 500 calories and then I eat the excess over 500…

This is nice
Gay marriage is legal in Canada. Don't know how it will work out between rival hockey supporters but how nice that this can go on at Center ice during a game. http://video.senators.nhl.com/videocenter/console?catid=0&id=165721

One for the money - recast the movie
I'm a big fan of the Janet Evanovich Stephanie Plum books but I was seriously disappointed by the movie. Did not think the casting was right at all. So, lets recast the movie and you can use any actor living or dead. Stephanie - Sandra Bullock Grandma Mazur - Ruth Gordon or Estelle Getty Joe Morelli - young Joe Mantegna…

NSV - I'm teaching it
I am a hypnotist. Yesterday, I taught my first hypnotic weight loss seminar. I stood in front of the class and said "I'm sure you are wondering why you are being coached on weight loss by someone who looks like me. Let me assure you that there is less of me standing here today than there was a year ago." At that point,…

I'm not happy about this
I wasn't greatly overweight for my height (5'10") but I wanted to lose about 30 to 40 lbs. I have been losing weight slowly, less than a lb a week usually and some months staying entirely steady. This has been a slow process and I've been okay with that. However, I am NOT HAPPY with what has been happening to my looks.…

High Flying NSV
Yesterday, despite the fact that I was 50+ lbs and 25+ years old than anyone else in the class, I participated in an aerial training class on the trapeze and aerial silks. It took some help to get my behind hoisted BUT I wasn't the only one that needed to be helped. It was the most fun I've ever had that didn't involve sex…

I use Pacific organic low sodium. 1 cup of canned black beans, rinsed. I use Unico. 1 bunch of baby bok choy. You can use regular too but I like the baby. 5 or 6 green onions. Crushed…

Another horror discovered
At my age, losing weight is a battle against not only fat but sagging skin. I thought I had reconciled myself to the dreaded underarm dingle-dangle and abdominal flip-flap.:ohwell: Today, however, I discovered a new horror :sad: . I had my arm raised and my elbow bent at a 90 degree angle above my head and I happened to…
