Need advice re weights...
Hi Everyone, Currently, I am walking, doing cardio kickboxing, using 5 lb hand weights, and a 25 lb kettlebell (alternating, so I don't get bored). Raising calories to between 1500-1800 was one of the best things I have done, and even though the scale is moving verrrrry slowly, I am seeing good results. Now, I want to take…

Anyone have a good vegetarian or vegetable side recipes?
Hi All! My husband and are are doing a sort of semi-vegetarian experiment next week. We are aiming to have only 2 meals next week containing meat, and I am looking for some interesting ideas. Any suggestions? Because of hormonal issues, I stay away from soy. We went to the markets this morning, and I have the following:…

Is there anyone just now starting Couch to 5k?
Anyone? I could really use a buddy - even if it is through the Internet and not in person. My birthday is coming up next Monday (41st!), and I got it in my head to do Couch to 5k. Even though I am clumsy. Even though I have never been good at sports. Even though previously, I would only run if someone ominous was chasing…

NSVs!
I have been kinda bummed because my scale has been fighting with me these past 2 weeks or so. Weight loss stalled completely. Then, for a few days, I was actually UP 3 lbs. I think this was because I actually increased my calories a bit in an attempt to get the scale moving again. Today, the 3 lbs was gone, so I am back to…

In other words, plug your ideal weight into a calculator (she suggest this one - http://www.cancer.org/healthy/toolsandcalculators/calculators/app/calorie-counter-calculator) and make that…

Small NSV
We bought an exercise bike not quite a month ago. The first night my hubby had it put together, I hopped on to see what I could do. It was mortifying - I could only do 4 minutes, and thought I was going to die at the end of it! Well, tonight I got on and was able to go for **50** minutes without stopping! And I probably…

NSVs :-)
Okay, so I have been "on the weightloss bandwagon" since January, but joined MFP just over 2 weeks ago now. The scale has moved slightly, but my NSVs have been piling up. The latest ones tickle me quite a bit: 1) I bought an exercise bike a couple of weeks ago. The first time I used it, I only did 4 minutes (!) and felt…

NSVs
Since it is "that time of the month", and I can't rely on my scale this week, I thought it was time for me to list my NSVs. Hopefully this will keep my motivation up so I can stay on track! :-) I joined MFP a week and a half ago, and have lost 17.5 lbs since January (3 lbs just since joining MFP!). I have not dropped a…
