I know how frustrating it can be and there were times I was screaming at the scale too!! :laugh:
I think over time, I just learned to chill out and listen to my body and give it a break. I mean, If I lose well for a certain period of time.......and my body takes a break for a week or two, how can I blame it?? I am sure all your organs and just your whole body chemistry needs an adjustment period here and there.
Whenever anyone asks me what my favorite part about my body is, I always say "The whole thing for putting up with the abuse (eating crap and not exercising and gaining so much weight), I put it through for SO long and still rewarded me when I actually started to do the work and treated it right!!
I am corny, what can I say!! :blushing:0 -

You have done a FANTASTIC JOB...a true inspiration
The weight I lost doesn't touch a torch to what you've done (30 pounds)
BUT I just wanted to also add that when I first started on non work-out days I ate 1490 cals and on days I worked out about 1700-1800 cals

Maybe what everyone who has had a lot of success or reached their goal can do is to post what they did to reach their goal. By seeing what different people have done, it might help others!0 -

It means that you are putting this topic at the top of the community forums, so other people read it and it doesn't get lost in the abyss of "stuff and such". Just gives others a chance to read it.

ok, i'm back and read everything Tam said.
i am with you on only eating somne of the exercise calories as i found that when i ate them all my weight stayed the same. thanks for al your information and telling me about cookinglight.com as well.
You are my inspiration to keep at it. I only have a total of 22 lbs to lose from when i started, mind you the last week or two I have gotten now where, back at it hard tomorrow, but anyways, i know that if you can lose 135 i can surely lose 22. Ad now i have a goal of April 30th as i just booked us a mini family vacay at Great Wolf Lodge so i want it all gone by then which is 7 weeks tomorrow. I also just bought the 30 day shred DVD today so wich me luck!
oh, and i also tell everyone i know about myfitnesspal!!
and i also have my hubby on here now as well, he wants to get in shape before out little vacay as well. He needs to lose about 30 lbs wish him luck too!!0 -

I think if everyone could hear different "methods" and see that there is no "magic number" as far as calories go, then they can relax a bit and start to listen to their bodies. :happy:0 -

Exacery!! :drinker: Eat healthy, don't over eat, watch your portions, exercise, drink water, don't starve yourself.......those are the basics. But as far as methods, everybody is different. I eat between 1300-1500 on non-workout days. (as long as I don't go over 1500 I've still managed to lose....wellllll ummm until these last 10 lbs anyway :explode: ) and on workout days I eat 1600-1900, depending on the type of workout I do. I kind of know that if I'm doing a certain workout it will burn x amount of calories and so on and I add that to my non workout day calories. But I don't count cooking and cleaning and the strength training I do. So I don't eat them all, but I do eat MOST of them. After all, I worked hard for them
MFP is a basic guideline to get us started. But trial and error is the key to succeeding in this whole thing. If you follow the basics I mentioned above and make smart choices and exercise it's a great start and you will learn what works for you along the way. Follow the food pyramid and get the correct servings in too. It does work and was made for a reason. :drinker:
Good Morning Tami :smooched:0 -

And you stole my "exxaccerrryyy!!!" :laugh: :laugh: But, that's OK!! I will share it, along with my rolls!! haha0
