Hello All!
My name is Crys Mitchell. I've been on MFP since November and struggled to lose weight for months. I thought I knew what I was doing with my weightloss goals because I've always been an athlete. But without playing any bbgames or running in any trackmeets, I had no idea what I was doing. I had no idea how to eat. That's when I called in the big guns. I started doing Insanity and researching healthy eating habits. My favorite magazine is Oxygen. I reached my goal of getting back to my original weight only completing half of the Insanity program.

The things that helped me most were: Balance. I couldn't achieve my goals with just exercise alone. Eating clean and correct portions has been a big challenge to handle. Another big help was MFP. My weightloss has been a struggle. At first I was in denial that I was overweight and needed to lose some pounds. Then when I got started, when the weight was coming off fast enough, I wanted to give up everyday. But everyday I logged in, I saw people who were constantly logging, constantly working out. When I didn't feel like working out, one of MFPals would log how they beasted through a workout. So I said if they can do it, I can.

I still would like to lose at least 8 more pounds. I'm concentrating more on toning. So I'm alternating week two of Insanity days with weight trainning. I still want to give up...everyday. But I just remember that Weightloss journey is a lifestyle change...not a temporary change. Great luck on your success MFP's!

    You look great, and the comment you made about "beasting through the workout" was awesome. :happy: I think that is one of things that inspires me, is to read that others are sore from workouts, just like me, but they pushed on and went through the workout anyway. You are doing a great job, keep it up!! :bigsmile:

    That's what I said. I was bummed at first when only seeing the number on the scale...but when I did the comparison, I was def proud.

    I would like to lose 8 more pounds, but I'm stuck too. My body seems to love 148...and that's ok as long as I keep destroying the fat lurking deep down in me that's just waiting to give me heart disease or diabetes.
