I lost weight and was all-round more fit using MFP with a friend, but when she stopped using it I lost motivation. I've kept tracking food and exercise, but have been just maintaining my weight for the last 2 months.
I plan to focus on:
- Frequent exercise, especially full body weights with balance challenges
- More fresh veg & protein (less sugar & dairy)
- Finding friends in the app to motivate each other
I'm on my phone all the time, so am good at cheering you on when you post! Please connect.0 -

Such a positive thread!
I've lost 30 lbs so far and still 30 or more to go! The first 20 I feel like came off easy, then came the holidays and I basically maintained through end of year. Started being serious again in January and it just seems like it took forever to lose 10 lbs this time. I did have some personal issues, became unexpectedly pregnant only to unfortunately miscarry. Probably a week after miscarriage got back into trying to lose weight, and the scale just isn't budging this time...only going up to come back down!
But through it all I never really went down a size, and then maybe a week ago tried on some stuff at the mall and I'm a 12 (down from a 16)! With the scale not moving, I really needed something positive to happen so I know that all of this effort I'm putting in isn't for nothing because I don't can't tell much when I look in the mirror.
Scale still isn't moving much, but at this point I'm just trying to focus on the inches. Last October/November I made a goal to be a size 10 by the time my friends and I head on a vacation this summer. I've got a little over a month to go...so I'm really pushing. I know as you get smaller it takes less time to move between sizes, so I'm hoping that just maybe it's possible. Lol even if it's just in one clothing item!0 -
Hi Folks!
I need to lose 30, too. Hoping I can get close by the end of June. The mantra? 30 by 30. I turn 30 on June 30th. This is Day 3 for me and I wanted to see who else is on this journey with me. Who I can motivate and who can keep me motivated. I'm glad to see this thread and hope to join in on all of this positivity and support I see! Good luck guys!0 -
hELLO MOTIVATEDSISTER & lemondropdreamz thank you both for stopping by, and sharing!
When the scale seems to be staying around the same numbers for awhile, you may need to change your macros or switch up your workout routine!
For example, if you are eating 1500 calories per day....reduce your calories to 1100 for a week to jump start your weight loss again! Also...if you are walking on the treadmill, start jogging some as well!
If you are doing normal cardio workouts, change to HIIT which is high intensity!
This will wake up your slow metabolism, and start the scale moving in the correct direction.
If that is not successful...trying changing both your caloric intake, and your workout routine!
You may have to ADD 15-30 extra mins to your workout!
Change will kick start results!
Good Luck!

Checking in...i hope everyone is still keeping their portion control in mind! Portions are very important! Once you get use to smaller sizes, it will become easier!
Also, change what you eat and when you eat! Cut out all junk foods, fast foods, and unhealthy foods ( this will only be temporary until you achieve your weight loss)...Never eat or snack after 7-8pm if possible! Eat more fruits and especially good green veggies!!! Eat more Fish!
...And last MOVE MORE!!!!! You have to move to burn the fat! Yes you can lose weight by cutting back on foods and not exercise, but if you want it to take forever to come off, you can do it that way...if you want to see results soon....you must MOVE!!!!
Incorporate some type of cardio in to your day! Aerobics, Walking, Jogging, HIIT, Tabata, Jumping jacks, jump rope, or any of the popular DVD's thats available...Jillian Michaels, P90X, Hip Hop Abs, Cize ...there are endless videos on YOUTUBE ...it's your choice....but make a decision to MOVE MORE, and you will start to see RESULTS soon!!!
