Hi Everyone looks great. Did all of you lose just by counting the calories and entering exercises on MFP? Or did you all do something additional? I'm a skeptic. I've been using MFP consistently for 2 weeks and the scales are moving in the WRONG direction for me or not moving at all. I've been exercising more than ever. 1 hour on the stationary bike 4 - 5 times a week. And I've just started 1 hour on the elliptical starting this week I want to see results!!!! Help!! Any suggestions?

If you are doing good exercise you are probably building muscle, which will show as weight "gained". You might want to measure yourself instead (I wish I had done that). Be sure you are entering the right serving size too. What I thought was a serving of cereal was really me eating 2!

I have lost 33 and Its just been 30day shred in the beginning (with the most change made) and now Zumba and counting those calories.
Good luck!

Thank you for the Positive support! 1 Round of P90X Lean, took a break, then 1 round of Insanity. I am now starting a round of P90X classic to get some size. I want to loose the rest of my fat and replace it with muscle.

That's great man - awesome dedication! I have P90x - was it brutal when you started at that weight? I'm contemplating that or insanity

I started out with P90X lean, and yes it was rough. I look back and wonder how the H@#L I did it. I will say I dont think I would have made it at all if I had started with Shaun T. He's a machine. I'm still NOWHERE close to keeping up with him. It is pure cardio. Tony allows for rest in between sets. Shaun T says "LETS GOOO!!!" and it doesnt stop until cool down. It's awesome though. After this round of P90X I am going to do another round of insanity to really get the new, bigger muscle ripped. I can't wait!!

I agree, the scales are not always the best way to mesure your success. My wife gained 5lbs in her second week and she is right beside me when doing P90x and is eating the same as I. She was a little discouraged affter the 3rd week, but i reminder her that she was able to do more pushups, jumping jacks, and other selected exercises. I told her just this week, (week 4 of P90X) that I could tell changes were happening for the good. The scales dont say what she would want them to, but her body is showing her true success so far.Keep going, and don't give up!!!!!
