Exercise Ideas for 60+ Year old Male...
Hello Community! I am looking for some ideas for my dad. He is 62 and overweight. He has recently started taking his caloric intake/nutrition seriously as he is finally in the headspace to make motions towards healthier living. (Yes!) I am looking for some ideas of what he could do for starting up a gentle exercise…

Parsley Spread
I came across the original recipe in a vegetarian cookbook, played with it and adapted it to work for me. One tablespoon is 19 calories and has a lot of flavor. Instead of mayo or a pre-made spread, I put this on sandwiches, use it as dip for fresh veggies and dollop it into my lentil soup along with fresh pico de gallo…

How To Really Loose Weight...
Hello All! I found this chunk of information in my General Psychology book. I sited the author and other information in an attempt to avoid accusations of plagerism. I, in no way, shape or form, created this list. I am simply posting, with reference, this bit to share. It's nothing massivly earth shattering, but I felt…

Curious about Insantiy
I'm sure it's been asked before, but I simply haven't been looking for it till now. So my question is in multiple parts. 1. How effective is Insanity? (Is it worth $120.00?) 2. Would you recommend it to someone in moderate shape? 3. I saw on an infomercial that it's a multiple disc system. Do you do many discs in a day or…

Your MFP Moniker
What does your MFP name mean and why? Is it just for fun or something significant to you? I'm curious as I see some really unique one's out there. Care to share? My name is Mountain_Woman. I live in Alaska and 2 days after I moved here, I declared my love for this state's natural beauty. I decided I was going to become a…

Caloric Rant
Okay, I know all of our intake is different. I know as men and women we require more or less. That as people, we require more or less. I guess I am just feeling frustrated today. I know that I am trying to maintain a gentle weight loss. Nothing super aggressive, perhaps a half pound a week. I've upped my caloric intake to…

Laproscopic Surgery
Hello all, my father has decided to get the laproscopic surgery. I am looking for any experiences people may have had to better grasp what he will be enduring. Any advice, tips or the likes are appreciated. I am hoping to not get messages telling me how he should just diet and exercise better. I know this, I have been…

Confessions of a thinner person...
Okay, now that you've either lost some weight or lost all you wanted, what is one of the things you find yourself doing that you never did before? A confession...prancing in front of my mirror, semi-dressed, flexing. I just feel so yummy!

NSV...LOL
I have to laugh as I post this, but I had to take the extender link out of my watch today as it's sliding up and down my arm. Even with the extender gone, it's still loose. Maybe it's time for a new watch? Or this is the excuse to finally invest in a HRM!?!? :D

Breast Reduction Surgery...
I am not sure where to post this, so I guess here is as good a place as any. Has anyone out there in MFP-land had breast reduction/lift surgery post weight loss? I am thinking is a route I may wind up taking. The only thing is I don't believe I am done having children and am a staunch supporter of breast feeding. Has a…

Metabolism, is it movable?
Okay folks, I'd like to hear some thoughts on metabolism. Is it actually possible to change your metabolism or are we just victims of genetics? And if it IS possible to positively effect one's metabolism, how and for how long really? I know exercise boosts your fat burning ability for a finite period of time, but is there…

Exercising when sick
Okay, MFP-land community. What is your thoughts on exercising when you are sick? I have an infection that is making me feel run down with antibiotic induced spurts of feeling better. Today I over-indulged and went over (way over) my calories, I felt like all I wanted to do was eat. I was hungry all day! Frustrating. But…

Green Tea Tolerable?
I know green tea is good to drink in combination with healthy foods and exercise for weight loss. But I find the flavor to be fairly nasty. Does anyone have any ideas on how to make it taste better? I'd rather ice it then drink it hot, but I'll take any suggestions either way. Thanks guys!

30 Day Shred damage?
I have read about letting your muscles mend by doing a different exercise (cardio one day/strength training the next). With a daily constant exercise like 30 day Shred, what is the potential for tearing or damage? Has anyone experienced this at all? Pros? Cons? I am hoping my copy comes in the mail from Netflix today, I am…

Sugar Allowances...
WTF? Okay, so I had a bowl of steel cut oats, a cup of Very Vanilla soy milk and a small banana. My sugar allowances are over for the day already? Based on these numbers, how is anyone supposed to get 3-4 pieces of fruit in a day besides other foods with naturally occurring sugars? Your thoughts, folks?

Crude but Honest...
How would one log a strenuous session of lovemaking? I know that it's a good burn, but this site doesn't seem to have an option. If anyone dares to answer, I'd be curious to see what I should put in. Frankly, wearing a HRM to bed is a bit of a distraction and perhaps a hint at obsessing a bit much on my…

Loose Skin Thoughts...
With my weight loss I am finding I have loose skin. I know that it takes time, but is there anything I can do to help along with tightening or make it more efficient? What are people's average loose skin tightening times?

Perception of Self...I've lost the Weight, but still see a h
Even though I have lost 100lbs, when I look in the mirror, some days I still see myself as 100lb+. How long does it take to overcome this mode of thinking? Does it ever go away? Or will it always be around? Is there something I can do to change how I see myself in the mirror? Sheesh. You'd think it would be enough to loose…

Overcoming Stress Eating Habit
Hello all! I am almost to my 100lb loss goal and so excited! Unfortunately there is a lingering fear in the back of my mind that I cannot shake. I am worried that I will regain due to unchecked stress eating. Now I know that it is "within my control", but realistically, how does one even begin the daunting task of…
