If you know my struggle add me.
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.

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 -
