Hey! My name is Samantha,
I am 21 years old and on my weight loss journey. I am currently 185 (on my home scale). I would LOVE to lose 6-12 pounds by Easter! I have lost 13 so far (yesterday was day 60 for me) but in the last 30 days I have only lost about 3, so I need motivation and advice!!
Thanks in advance for your support! Feel free to add me as a friend!

    Wow well done for 13lbs! Amazing! Have you been sticking to your calorie goal on MFP? Been doing more exercise? Maybe that could be it..

    Hi! Congrats on your weight loss!

    Things that have worked for me so far:

    1. Logging into MFP several times a day and commenting to all of my friends. It keeps me motivated!
    2. Eating all of my cals, including my exercise cals. Some days I'm 100-200 under but I'm also eating 1700 a day about.
    3. Cardio 2-4 times a week. Going to start weight training now that I've lost the first 25. This may stall the weight loss a bit but I will lose inches.
    4. Drinking 10-15 glasses of water a day. This one is VERY important.
    5. Multivitamins and fiber supplements to make up for what I'm not getting with the calorie cut.

    Thanks! And yes, I am sticking to my calorie goal or under it each day, I also do exercise at least 150 minutes a week (30 minutes 5 days) but usually go over by around 100 extra minutes. I do drink a lot of water and I have been taking Thermo Bond. I am also planning on buying the Acia Berry Cleanse, I know its not a magic pill for weight loss lol, but last time I took it, it just made me feel very healthy and less bloated.
