    You are doing awesome with the exercise! Consistent journaling of your food and exercise should help get the pounds and inches down. It is a convenient format, just do it!

    Awesome job! Sounds like you are off to a great start. Its hard to get motivated and stay motivated sometimes. I have several co-worker friends and friends who encourage each other, and help hold us to our fitness goals. Find something that motivates you to stay exercising and fit, for me its the patients I see everyday who could benefit from some exercise and healthy eating, makes me want to NOT become like them. Plus after a while you may even get to enjoy working out, its all about making a lifestyle change that lasts a lifetime. keep it up!

    1st - YAY, you! You really sound like you are working hard and getting in all the exercise!

    2nd- You CAN keep it up and get those last 20 lbs off. You may want to consider switching up your exercise if you've been doing the same thing for awhile. Shock your body and mix it up - sometimes that will help you pull off a couple more pounds.

    3rd - Keep up the logging and food tracking. It can be tedious, but it is SO worthwhile. And don't forget the water.

    4th - Read through the boards for more inspiration.

    Keep going. Keep trying. Your goals are within site!

    This has been my first full week on MFP I weigh in on Wednesday and can't wait to see the results.
    My wife has been doing this for about 3 weeks and has lost just over 4lbs. the biggest help that I find here is being able to track your food accurately, I know it's made me change some bad food habits that I've been carrying for a long time now.
    I also like seeing the success stories of people that have been on this for a while. I want to be one of those stories soon
    Good luck to you

    My husband does work out with me and he pushes me hard. But the 4 miles a day gets me, maybe taking my son with me and letting him play after I'm done can help with some motivation. He loves the park. Thank you everyone for the posts! I can tell it will help reading success stories! Plus I've noticed everyone kind of pushes each other to keep going. And I know to lose this last 20 lbs the correct way and healthy way takes longer but I have been told it stays off!!!
