Dieting and Indigestion/Gallbladder issues
Just a quick question: Has anyone noticed an increase in indigestion since they have been dieting? You would think it would get better since I've cut out all of the fatty, greasy, fried foods. It's still the same. Today I am hurting in my upper abdomen, no relief in site and I take Nexium on a daily basis. I wonder if it's…

First 3 lbs....
Lost my first 3 lbs!!!!! I started one week ago on the journey to loose. I weighed myself and started using MFP, eating WAY better and exercising more. One week later(TODAY), I jumped back on the scale and saw I was 3 lbs down. So excited to see more results. I feel motivated now that what I am doing is working and I feel…

7lbs my first week!
Well I did it. I finally followed an eating routine for a whole week and also excercised. And I lost 7lbs. I am so thrilled I want to do it again this week. I followedd the clean eating program and excercised to my walking dvds. I did lift weights too but not enough to do anything. Anyway, I just wanted to share.

thier words.....
So I went to a cookout @ my mom's yesterday and saw a few family members that I haven't seen in quite a few months. It felt SSSSOOOOOO good to be asked, "How much weight have you lost?" That showed me that my progress is evident and isn't unseen! :bigsmile: This morning I also reached another milestone in my COUCH TO 5K…

Halfway to Halfway!
I'm feeling really good about my progress so far. I have made it half way to half of my goal weight loss. In the beginning I wondered how I would ever do this but with the encouragement of my family and from reading all the posts here I have pulled through. Now it's not so hard to watch my calorie intake and most of the…

MFP Knows of what it speaks! :-D
5 weeks ago I wrote down what MFP projected I would weigh if I followed the calorie/exercise path I was at the time. Well I did, I followed it pretty close. I wrote that number on my calender at work. I came in this morning and WOWZER :noway: to the exact ounce LOL. I couldn't believe it! I'm going to write down the next 5…

Too Fast?
I joined this website about a week ago and I have been trying to hit my goals for calories every day and usually I am a tad under maybe by say 40 calories. I have also been working out everyday except once this week. Somehow I dropped 7 lbs already even though my goals were set for 1 1/2 pounds a week! I am eating my…

A rule of success (how to burn a pizza)
In the last seven months I feel like I have learned alot from the community here at MFP. And one of the biggest lessons that I have learned is that when you fail you need to get back up on your VERY NEXT oppurtunity. Day started out well, Ate well all day and spent most of my time playing with the kids. Then when supper…

Exercise Success!
When I first stated my back to the gym and weight loss journey, I could push myself to do 3-5 minutes on the elliptical without sweating and dry heaving. Yesterday, I did 45 minutes of intervals on the elliptical then did another 20 minutes of hills on the treadmill. Oh, and I can run, I can actually run!!!:tongue: This is…

Broke the plateau!
I know that to break a plateau I either have to change my diet or my exercise plan...well, I already work out for an hour and a half a day six days a week (combination of kickboxing moves and Jillian Michaels' 30 day shred) and I can't hack much more than that. Over the past three days I have cut out refined sugars, white…

I broke the plateau............
1.I gave up on intense excercise for a weekend a half, six days a week isnt neccescary, thats my opinion a good 30-45 minutes cario with circuit and strength training is plenty. 2.I allow myself a cheat day between 2000-2400 calories not 3500:laugh: . 3.I zizag my calories 1300.1400.1500,1600,1300,1400... you see where Im…

The rest I can just barely squeeze into (but I can zip…

I told…
