I'm back in.
I need a new motivator.
I was on a good roll in September to December, but I lost steam.
Appreciate all help!

Huango. I find that if I cut out eating the high calorie junk food, my weight loss journey is pretty easy. I never gain weight on salads or an occasional burger. It's always the cookies, cakes and candies and chips that do me in. So now I take a bite of that yummy food if I must, and really taste it and savor the taste, and give my husband or the garbage the rest, if I decide it isn't worth the calories. Yesterday that equaled one bite of a home made cupcake (was really good, but not worth it), two pieces of kettle corn (were stale after all) and one small piece of fudge (was worth it). I navigated through that party not missing out, and not over doing it.4

Hi, I'm new here and started my weight at 160, and I'm down to 151 I think! I'm 5 2 and a half lol. I need some weight loss friends to keep me going as I'm getting discouraged ):5

New friends wanted for support. I will return the favor! We got this! It really helps to have fun size friends on here as we understand the low calories!2

No weight loss this week, but feeling good about this week. 12 months ago tomorrow I started my mfp journey and lost 16lbs in 4months. It seemed easy at the time so I need to channel that mind set. For me it is all about - prelogging, loads of exercise, eating filling foods, having high calorie days and having a little bit of chocolate everyday.

My weigh in day -- I've got to say, doing this weekly really helps remind me to try to stay on track!
Lots happening this past week -- son was getting ready to go back to college, some family birthday celebrations -- so lots of going out to dinner! I maintained, so I will not complain! Still trying to get to 125 (maybe 126 now...) by the end of January!

Sign me UP! But seriously, are we the same person?
My starting weight was 155 and now I'm about 147. I'm 5' 2" 22 years old!
Also, anyone else in this group, feel free to add me. I'll support you by making any choice you make look way better! And you can look at all the times I fell off the horse and had to get started again! And the up and down weight! Basically, I'll let you know it's okay the mess up as long as you never quit

Great job, especially with all that good craziness going on. Do the best you can, and enjoy life too. This is a lifestyle anyway, not just a quick fix. I went to a birthday party at a restaurant and just had fish, salad, and 2 bites of cake- really, only two! I've gained 3 pounds due to TOM, but my weigh in is on Sunday and I hope to have lost it by then. I soooo wish I was at your weight already, but I'm only a month in. I'm proud of you for losing during the holidays (and hibernation season too). Keep it going!juliemargaretkim wrote: »My weigh in day -- I've got to say, doing this weekly really helps remind me to try to stay on track!

@SheilaCali -- Thank you for the encouragement! I can't believe how great this feels -- hang in there and you WILL get there -- all it takes is time! I'm doing power yoga (vinyasa or "flow" yoga done in 90 degrees) and tonight the practice centered on finding "true North" -- I made the connection! I'm finding true North -- and making healthy choices and loving it. And yes -- enjoying life.1

Oh, I definitely know the struggle!
Also when I say I need to lose 10#. That's like 2 dress sizes for me.
DH just has to drink 1 less beer or something, but I have to watch everything I put into my mouth and work out a lot just to lose a few pounds.
We can do this!
I've plateau at 128 and then at 121, and now at 116.
I will reach my 1st GW. I know I will.
Just a matter of WHEN?

With my daughter having strep and the flu last week(ate a lot of snacks because I was home with her) along with my TOM this week, I'm excited about this loss. Lots and lots of water, veggies, and exercise. Have a fantabulous Friday everyone.

I started MFP back in October and love it. I started out trying to do 2lbs per week, but feel a lot better with a slight increase in calories so I'm at about 1lb per week now. Does anyone live in the Des Moines, IA area? I would love to have a spring fitness partner to meet up with.
I've found that taking my measurements is an amazing way to keep motivated, even when I don't lose weight, I lose inches so it's totally worth tracking!
Happy tracking everyone!4 -

My illness this week resulted in a temporary plunge in my weight that was definitely unearned so I'll wait till next week to post accurate numbers. Traveled to attend a conference. No treadmill time but managed good food choices. Reunion dinner was a four course meal with wines. I just ate a little from each meal.
The hotel had an all-you-can-eat buffet breakfast one morning. When I asked the waitress for a menu and told her I was trying to just eat my normal breakfast of 2 eggs and toast but would love some cantaloupe from the buffet -- she immediately offered me the child's buffet price! Win-win! She got a great tip and I limited temptation.1 -

So inspired by your success! Congrats on your accomplishment. Was thinking about a month ago how great it would be to finally be in shape to accomplish this.2 -
Fiddletime, I'm among the 50 somethings in the group so not too far behind you age wise. Your TDEE does present a challenge. I once did intense exercise for 20 minutes twice a day and had success in jump starting my metabolism. Don't know the research on this but do know if you increase your activity/exercise, vigorous or not, your body will need more calories. Good luck on your journey!1

Thanks. I do exercise intensely about 35 min 4 days a week. I can lose weight, but I can't eat more than 1200 cal. I've stopped eating all but a few exercise calories back. That's keeping me losing. I started doing that last week. If I feel too hungry I'll eat half the exercise calories back (about 100). It can be done, but takes some getting used to. My eyes sure want to eat more!!!

Yes, we can do this.
You have to start somewhere.
Focus on building strength and sculpting your body.
Sohee Fit is just a wee little thing and she is my inspiration.
Here's her video of all sorts of work-outs to prep toward doing a pull-up.
I did these for over a year before I could do my 1st real pull-up.
https://facebook.com/SoheeFit/videos/972713239539568/
LOOK at this transformation.
You don't get here by just doing cardio.
Go lift some HEAVY weight, and you'll be rewarded.
(not me)
Have a great day!
Take charge of your day!

I have hit a SERIOUS plateau, and it has been so hard to keep slogging along, but I'm sticking to my meal plan and my workouts and hoping to bust through at some point!

Keep reminding myself to just stick with it, but it's so frustrating to see so little progress on the scale when I'm so committed.0 -
