My trainers won't give me guidelines past a gallon of water a day, Mediterranean diet, & eat 6 times each day. I need strict guidelines and order and appreciate any tips you can offer!!! I absolutely want to tone and…

Water, water, water!
Water check! Where are you on intake? I am at 80oz! 20 to my goal! I am learning something about myself - if I drink most of my water throughout the day and before 5, I am more likely to reach my goal. Having more than 16oz to drink before bed de-motivates me and I often stop short of my goal. Anyone else like that?

Proving my doctor WRONG! ;)
I need to lose about 90#. Starting this journey again has been something I tried lots of times and I tried lots of ways to get there. I lead a busy life - I am a mom of 3 ages 1-7, a Realtor, a jeweler, and a retail store owner. Life in the fast (food) lane is convenient and takes lityle thought and no effort. I basically…

Working out and tracking solo... from Miss Codependant
Sooo, after 5 months of great success, my workout buddy and I kinda hit a motivational wall, then my knee gave out and I had to sit out a few weeks (and put back on weight as I am an all or nothing gal - either I workout and diet, or I don't do either). Here and now, she has changed her workout schedule and found a new…

HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) for running...
Has anyone tried the Tabata method for HIIT? I read that doing this should increase speed and endurance of your wourkout. My w/o partner and I jog 5 miles 3 times a week and completed this 4 minute span this morning prior to our run. I think I almost died. It was very tough and we could only jog a mile or so afterward and…

Soooo - which do you appreciate more: "great burn" or honest
I have cheated myself thanks to tons of (seemingly) half hearted MFP's motivation comments (see my blog for more on my take at http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/MereMe/view/new-year-new-me-yada-yada-let-s-get-real-here-196885) over the past few months.

I weighed 243 October 2010 when I first got pregnant; I weighed 249 June 2011 when I delivered; I weighed 235 July 2011 when I started MFP. Which weight is "fair" for me to use as my starting weight? How did YOU chose your starting weight???

Saying NO to processed foods and perservatives! (And a cry f
I needed an excuse to rid my pantry of processed and perservative rich foods. My children's school is hosting a canned food drive for the local food bank. I cleared out 46 cans leaving only a few items - cream of mushroom (and cerley and chicken) soups, rotel, tuna, and salmon. If it's not fresh or frozen, I am not buying…
