    hey i'm stacy, a mother of 2 kids, 16 year old boy and a 2 year old little girl, no that's not a typo yes they are 14 years apart. I track my calories on here when I get in a rut to get back on track, I love myfitness pal, do you have facebook? I love meeting and chatting with new people and am on facebook a lot more often.

    You look great! That's awesome, great story! I like your advice to be patient about it all. Sometimes I get frustrated just losing 1 lb a week, but over the course of a year or so that will really add up. You stuck with it for 1.5 year and it was totally worth it, congrats!
  • I just got back home from work and am overwhelmed by your kindness. Wow. Yes, my first pound took 6 looooong weeks. I kept weighing myself and the needle on the scale wouldn't budge. Little did I know that it would move mountains later. I asked my sister, is this worth it? Should I keep going? She just said, give it a little bit more time. That's all I needed. 2 more weeks and 8 pounds went away. It was amazing.

    I ate about 1500 cals per day, that's what myfitnesspal calculated. I'm crazy, I didn't eat my exercise calories back, I saved them all for weight loss, I was on a mission I guess.
    Now that I'm maintaining I eat exercise cals, I don't want to lose anymore, I want to feel strong and healthy.

    One more thing, I was often terrified of the scale, I'm not kidding! So I used measuring tape around my waist every morning. Every time, I lost an inch, I knew the scale would move to the left. The measuring tape is still my best friend ;).

    Girlfriend, I can not express enough how much of a God Send your post is...I'm soooo there, at not seeing the scale move, as it ought and I now am understanding some things I must incorporate into my way of eating and drinking. That said, to see you post that the scale didn't move in such a long time and still you carried on is the BOMB to me, I love that and it gives me such hope. YAY YOU!
  • Newlifestyle4, with you keeping on, the scale will have no choice but to move to the left ;)
