Greetings and low-calorie sweeteners! I'm Maelyn, bit quirky at times, definitely nerdy. I love sci-fi. One of my goals is to get down small enough to wear the Star Trek: TOS science officer's outfit for Halloween, next year, is the target. My struggles are emotional eating, binge eating at times, and PCOS, and medications.

TIP: DO NOT DRINK YOUR CALORIES!
Save your calories for more fulfilling meals and snacks! I dropped 10 lbs by cutting out cream and sugars from my coffee, and now I ENJOY drinking my coffee black!2 -
Hi. I'm MJ. My challenge is two fold in that I'm not only shooting for weight loss but also lower blood sugar numbers to either reduce or eliminate taking pills. I'm a little less than a month in and MFP has really given me clarity on how many junk calories/carbs I was taking in over what I should have been. My goal is to be at 245 which is a comfortable weight for my build with a 110 average blood sugar by the end of the year.

For anyone tight on time look into HIIT workouts. Its a quality workout where you go as hard as you can for short intervals followed by short periods of rest and be done in around 22 minutes with some serious calorie burn. No special equipment is required outside of a heart rate monitor.
Example of a Calorie Burner HIIT workout:
1. Warm up
2. 16 burpees (15 second break)
3. 16 push ups (15 second break)
4. 16 mountain climbers (45 second break)
5. 8 burpees (15 second break)
6. 8 push ups (15 second break)
7. 8 mountain climbers (45 second break)
8. 4 burpees (15 second break)
9. 4 push ups (15 second break)
10. 4 mountain climbers (45 second break)
11. 45 second run as hard as you can
12. Cool down
As far as food goes. A good cheap meal that has become a staple of mine is Simple Cafe Steamers. The Chicken/Broccoli version is as low as 190 calories and doesn't have all the junk you cant pronounce in the ingredients. More info here: http://www.healthychoice.com/simply-cafe-steamers5 -
Hello! My name is Leah and I'm a 33 year old mother of 3. I have been over weight since my late teens/early 20s. I normally hung around 155-165 lbs (5'4). I would "try" to lose weight for a few weeks and then give up. I never really took it seriously and it wasn't a big deal to me.
Then in 2013 I was put on a medication that made me gain weight FAST. I was only on it for a few months before I stopped taking it but I ended up gaining about 30 lbs and started 2014 at 195 lbs! I was in denial about it for a long time and kept thinking it would slowly come off with no effort (surprise, it didn't) but finally at the beginning of 2015 I got serious and started trying to lose it. I lost about 10 lbs and then found out I was pregnant with our surprise 3rd baby! Lol. After I had the baby, I was still stuck in the 190s. I really just kept thinking it would come off on it's own. I guess because I thought it was a fluke since my normal weight had always stayed around 160. I finally started changing my eating habits little by little several months ago. Then last week I got back on here to help myself stay on track.
I'm doing well. I'm still nursing my 17 month old so I get a little confused about how many calories I should be taking in to keep my supply but also lose weight.
Starting weight - 195 lbs
Current weight - 177.6 lbs
Goal weight - 140 lbs
Anyone can feel free to friend me!2 -

Love all the posts about how motivated you all are right now! Happy Easter to everyone that celebrates it! I was VERY bad today and ate soooo much unhealthy stuff. In order to help combat my bad behaviors today I think I'll take my dog for a long walk!
Holidays are such a struggle! How do you stay on track?0 -

Hello all! I am Bill and I am 31 years young. I was able to maintain a good weight up until I hit 30 at which point my metabolism came to a screeching halt and I started gaining weight. I have been a runner in the past and am starting back up again this week. I plan to run 2-3 miles 3-4x/week, to start. I will be focusing more on my diet at the beginning. I am a big time snacker and love empty carbs! I look forward to checking in on this thread and trying to share/gain motivation!
