Add me for support too. Im not new I've lost over 50 lbs but was on a few week diet break and am now back at it to lose the last 30 lbs or so!

Trying to quit too. It doesn't go well with my new healthy lifestyle. Nothing worse than spending 2 hours at the gym then lighting up on the way home. I had my doctor prescribe champix a medicine that is supposed to block nicotine and help me quit. Im only a week in but it seems to be working. It does Have a lot of aide…

here is another one that made me feel great! My 12 year old daughter now steals my clothes and wears them! I cant get mad at her bc it feels amazing that we are almost the same size!

Omg when i read this it sounded just like me op. I cannot tell my size either and the bony knees feels so weird! Guess it takes a bit for our brain to make a new body image map. Congrats on your loss! Another thing i never expected was all the male attention. Now i have to deal with men staring or asking for my number a…

Wow great job everyone i needed motivation today and this helped!

Just keep at it. Weight loss isn't linear. I seem to lose weight 5 lbs at a time after TOM once a month then nothing the rest of the month until after that time again. Weird but so glad I didn't give up when I didn't lose for weeks at a time. Water weight glycogen stores etc all can cover scale loss. Measuring myself has…

Find a New Doctor! if your numbers are off and he wont give u meds he can't be a good doc

1 to 2 hours depending on how much free time I have

Mine is 150, but the number isn't that important to me as how I look. I think when I get to like 170 or so I will have a better idea on how much I have to lose. I want to be fit and thin without losing all my curves! I started lifting heavy so I hope that helps. Don't want to become skinny-fat !

I know right..a big difference for just a few pounds and Ill post some to the EM2WL website when I get a chance, I am still a work in progress though, although I think Im gonna throw my scale out the window :P once again no loss in a few days but im down another inch around my waist. So whatever ill just stop weighing…

coke zero and diet mountain dew taste awesome!

Its true, if your metabolism is way messed up then your not burning what they estimate from this site. This happened to me but I am slowly fixing it. I was barely losing weight at 1200 calories a day. It takes a lot to mess it up though, for me it was years of not eating except once a day or maybe every other day followed…

Don't mind the bad pics ive been taking them after I work out once a week so I could see the difference. These are about 1 month apart after I INCREASED my calories by 800 or more. Its only a 5 to 6 pound "Scale" loss during this time, but as you can tell from my decreasing belly it looks like a lot more than that as I am…

msjeep...the same thing happened to me when I upped my calories. I went from never being hungry ever..like id skip meals and eat once a day and wasn't hungry even then to being so starving I couldn't wait to come home and eat. I eat almost every 3 hours or so now,at least a snack if not a meal. I think It is the metabolism…

I am down 10 pounds and for me it equaled more than 6 inches off my waist and 3 inches of each thigh, 3 off hips and 1 1/2 of each arm, and down almost 2 sizes...not sure why it was so much for me as it was from 225 to 215, it shouldn't have been that much of a difference but maybe its all the exercise im doing?

oh and make sure you check your measurments if your not losing, I hardly lost anything for an entire month but when I checked I had lost 6 inches of my waist, so the scale can be a horrible measure of progress. If your feeling good I bet its starting to work, you just gotta keep it up :)

Hi welcome to MFP, im only about 2 months in, so not really sure about a lot yet, but wanted to say we are pretty close to the same weight and height and I am eating around 1800-1900 a day right now and its working pretty good. I did start out lower but found as I exercised more I needed to eat more and didn't want to…

are you all eating enough? Having a slightly lower body temperature can be caused by a lack of food. Anorexics tend to have body temperatures around 96 to 97 degrees but even to a lesser scale if you have been low calorie for awhile it can cause a lower temp. You can take your temperature and if its a few degrees less than…

Did you measure yourself and not lose any inches either? I only lost 2 pounds last month but lost 5 inches from my waist and 3 from each thigh etc... Scales arnt always a good indicator of how your doing

Thank you :) I guess I just needed some confirmation that I was on the right track. And no I am not logging weight lifting just cardio on the fitbit. I will start and see if that helps and yes I have a foodscale and am using it.

Add me as a friend for motivation if you want. We have similar goals and similar histories! I too have been through a bad divorce and am now a so gle mom going back to school! Exercising and eating well has really helped me to feel better about myself and I can't wait to see what the future brings now! You will do great on…

I'm using my fitbit for TDEE so it should be somewhat accurate. Two months ago I couldn't even do a pushup..now I can do 10 :) and i am able to lift heavier weights. I still have a long way to go but since I'm not "dieting" but eating more then ever I know this is something I can do the rest of my life and eventually the…

I'm on everyday if anyone wants to add me!

I think you and your family will do great! Your already off to a great start. Take it slow and just do what you can when you can.

That's awesome! She will learn from just watching you. mine loves doing yoga videos with me off tht computer at night. She spends half the time laughing but hey its a start. One thing we've really enjoyed is I had her make me an obstacle course and we timed eachothr on who could do it quicker. 10 jumping jacks, then run up…

I'm a mom add me if you'd like. One of the best things that has happened since I began my journey is today I asked my daughter what her new year resolution was going to be and she said" eating healthier" ! I was happy, as I wish I had better habits as a child. She also has been mentioning that she doesn't like sweets…

I'm 5'8" too and 216 right now and a size 14. I have quite a bit of muscle and don't look my weight and have no idea what I want my goal to be I'm thinking around 160 to 170 though. I'd be happy in a size 8 to 10. I don't want to lose all my curves either!

Same here without my measurements I would have been so discouraged thinking it wasn't working. I lost 6 inches on my waist while barely losing any pounds

I'm having quite a bit of success with it after years of vlcd that never worked for me. I am not being strict with my macros or even my calories though I'm honestly just eating whenever I'm hungry trying to include as much fruits and veggies as possible. I am tired of "diets"and want to shift my focus to being healthy…
