    Thanks Everyone!! You guys make me want to push harder and get to my Goal! For the people who asked what I was doing or what the workout was. I have always mixed in a little weight training into the workout but recently I have stuck with mainly Cardio. I have not cut out weight training all together but not wearing myself out with it. I found that for me Cardio is giving me the best results. When I started on March 21st I set the treadmill at the gym to 6 MPH and was able to run for 2 mins before I had to stop because I was huffing and puffing so hard. I then lowered the speed down to around 5 mph light jog and ran for a minute then walked for a minute and back and forth until I had done about 5 rounds of each. I gradually increased the speed and the times from 1 minute walking to 2 mins running and then 1 minute walk to 3 min run and so on. As Of last night I got on the treadmill set it to 6.7 MPH and ran the length of a 5k without stopping or walking. It took Baby steps to get to this point but it has been working. I log into MPF everyday and keep track of my food and workouts. I have tried nearly every suggestion that was out there eat more.. eat back my exercise calories, do more weight training but none of them worked for ME. I am not saying by any means that they do not work but they were not giving me the results that I wanted and in order for me to stay motivated I need to see results or I will quit " Trust me.. I've seen me do it a few times hahah" There were several days where I did not make my suggested calorie intake for the day. I was eating a lot and it was keeping me full but with what I was eating it was not very many calories. (example for Lunch I was having two full sized grilled chicken breast, sautéed onions, bell peppers, mushrooms with salsa) I would be stuffed after eating that and it was only 390 calories.. If I ate that for all three meals it was only 1170 calories and MFP says I should be eating 1500 to lose 2 lbs a week. there was no way I could eat all that. So I ate until I was full and then didn't eat anymore. Is this the way to do it? I don't know but it has worked for me. Thanks for all of the support!! You all Rock!
