    Thanks Everyone! I started last year and got fed up of always being in pain, and I was starting to have some health problems so I bought and elliptical machine and joined MFP. I started out at I think 1600 calories and got down to 1200 calories a day (to lose 2 pounds a month). Since I was close to my goal I started increasing my calories to 1580 (which is where I am now) to lose .5 pounds a month. I do 45 minutes on the elliptical 6-7 days a week and strength training 3 times a week. The one thing that I did that really made me able to keep up with the program is that one day a month I would have a cheat day where I could eat whatever I want. Since I was new to dieting it was really important for me psychologically to know I could still eat the way I used to sometimes. However, the more weight I lost, and the better I ate, the less I wanted to cheat. I actually started to LIKE eating healthy! I still "cheat" some times, but I don't consider it cheating anymore. I've learned that a healthy diet can still include some not so healthy things, the secret is moderation. I will never go back because I know that being healthy feels so much better than that burger will taste.

    So AMAZED!! You are truly an inspiration!:flowerforyou:

    Wow! You look amazing! Thanks for posting. I need to lose that much as well so this is very encouraging. I want an eliptical machine badly but don't think I'll last 10 minutes. LOL Maybe I can work up to 45 minutes though. Thanks for posting!

    When I first got it I literally couldn't last 5 min! You just have to start out slow and gradually increase your workout. The more you do it, the easier it gets. Buying the elliptical was the best investment I ever made.

    I cannot tell you how wonderful it is that you have become a healthier, happier you. And you can see the shift in thinking too with your ability to just throw away the scale and do what you know is right.

    I have been a slave to weighing every single day because of an obsession over the process "working" but your decision has made me consciously decide to do things differently as well. I will weigh once a week on Fridays and continue working out and counting my calories.

    Thank you, for being such an inspiration!

    What courage that took (throwing away the scale)! I have scaled down to once a week! So keep in the loop! You look absolutely wonderful and though we don't know one another, I am proud of you! This is one of the hardest battles to fight in life and you have done it! Take care!
