Wow! That's great!

Hi Tina, welcome to the group. When you lost weight, what helped you lose it?

Awesome job! As far as sticking with your plan, what do you think is working for you and what isn't?

That's huge! Holy cow! I had to make sure I read that right. And yeah, your body was probably getting rid of some sodium... and along with that water. Just make sure you're not pushing yourself too hard. Rest days are important to keeping your workout sustainable. I don't mean to be a wet blanket, but believe me, I've…

Yeah, sometimes it's hard for me to eat yummy food responsibly. But that's part of the challenge... I know I can still eat yummy foods in moderation and that this is a lifestyle, so I have to learn how to eat delicious foods responsibly. I still want hot wings, pizza, and brownies, so I have to work it into my calorie…

nuts. yogurt. Sometimes I make a breakfast muffins on the weekend and freeze them so I can grab it, heat it up in the microwave and spread a nut butter on it. I also pre-boil eggs on the weekend and during the week I eat it. Nutrigrain can have a lot of sugar ... protein bars (with fiber) might be better option if you're…

Browsing MFP friends and resisting the urge to eat

Hey all. Nice to be in the group. I feel like I've been in a never-ending plateau and need some new inspiration. I've been physically active for about 3 years and pretty consistently at that. I came from a place where I could barely run 100 feet and now I work out about 5x a week. It's a good stress reliever. I've even…

I just printed this. Gotta try this next week! I think I'll just use 6 whole eggs and skip the whites. I hate wasting the yolks.

Today, I went for a walk around the park without obsessing over calorie burn. It was a little liberating.... To know I'm taking a walk, enjoying the scenery and not fretting about goal time, burn, heart rate. I just put on some nice acoustic music and headed out.

For real. I just really didn't know how to respond. The argument in itself was crazy. All I could say was I am not trying to change him. We've known each other for 9 years and married for 3. I think he thinks the word "healthy" implies worthiness. We are able to talk openly and we have good debates about environment vs.…

Anyone, feel free to add me too. I don't know how to add people... what button do i press?

you can add me, too

Me, too. About 20 lbs to lose too... I feel like I'm in a never-ending plateau. Add me!

I can always use an extra motivational buddy! I was thinking about this today... I used to be 230 lbs about 10 years ago and now I'm 180. It's weird to say, but I've lost about 50 lbs. I never really added it all up because for a while I was stalled out at around 190 so I feel like I just lost 10. My goal starting out with…

awesome! slow is good! It's easier to stick to, like you said. And definitely more healthy than a crazy pill. (Those don't work)

It could be that you just hit a plateau. Weight loss comes in cycles and soon enough everyone will hit a plateau. If you lost that much weight in that amount of time, your body is trying to hold on to your energy storage more tightly. Keep doing what you're doing and soon enough your body will respond. And also, don't…

I read a study recently about how people who were most successful at weight loss maintenance (like maintaining over 5 years) were those that 1) maintained regular exercise 2) weighed at regular intervals (i.e. each week, month, whatever works) and 3) caught themselves in time to notice they are slipping up. It's great you…

I've been doing pretty well this week. I really don't know why I decided to do 35... 25 is just fine. But I noticed I'm not as hungry. =)

I meant I'll eat half my exercise calories back

hey, it looks like you got a lot of good advice on the metabolism part. Only thing I'll add is I eat half my calories back to help me fuel for my next workout and prevent muscle loss. Also, about the eating healthy on a budget I hear you. I'm a student... but my slight advantage is that I have a bachelor's in nutrition...…

feel free to add! I have a similar starting weight and goal. Definitely relate to emotional eating, but I think I've gotten a handle of it these past few months. I used to eat when I was sad or stressed, but these days I don't feel "the rush" as much. Just takes time and consistency of not doing it. You'll get there! And…

I'm looking for a little more support, too! feel free to add. I have an open diary if you wanna take a peak, too. Right now I'm focusing on my fiber intake. I try to get at least 35g a day. yikes! I'm also a fellow nerd. Love reading and listening to science stuff and my goal is to go to a star trek convention.

nice pictures! That looks pretty neat.
