awesome!

That is amazing! You look so good! Great job!

awesome! Way to go!

i lost at 1450 calories a day, and eating back only 1/2 exercise calories. I wore a heart monitor, so i knew my exercise calories were pretty accurate, so on high intensity workout days I'd burn 600 calories, and I'd eat back 300 of those, and I still lost pretty quickly. So if you exercise you should be able to eat that…

ps i sent friend request : )

i'm back this week for 3rd time, work at home, mom of 5. We can do this. I was super successful my 1st time, horrible my 2nd time, but i'm goign to do it this time!

Hashimotos makes losing weight hard, but not impossible. Its harder for us, but its worth it. I lost 30lbs 4 years ago, kept it off for most of 3 years, then my thyroid #'s started going wacky, and i started not caring because i'm so tired all the time. I decided this week to get back to logging and working out no matter…

i got the vivofit for Christmas with the heartrate monitor attatchment. I love it so far. Syncs perfectly with MFP.

Welcome!

I'm in! This is just what I need.

wow! you look like a totally different person! Great job!

You look awesome! Great job!

just start logging again. Its amazing when I gained weight back, thinking I wasn't eating as much as I was. When I logged, I realized, I was eating ALOT more than I thought. Logging just keeps a balance in your head so you know that maybe you shouldn't eat that cookie today, but tomorrow, I'll watch it closely and I'll eat…

I used to wear a heart rate monitor, but it actually figured more calories burned than either the machines or MFP. I lost 30 pounds in 5 months, and it worked to use the heart rate monitor to figure calories burned. I ate back any calories that made my net less that 1200....(make sense?) So if my net calories were 1400…

are you logging your calories? Are you being honest? Do you weigh your food or just eyeball it? I have never in all my years of MFP found someone who didn't lose by following the rules. Some don't lose as fast as others, but everyone loses. You have to log your food. Its essential. Paleo is taking out alot of carbs and…

I lost 28 pounds 3.5 years ago eating in a deficit and rocking zumba! I wore a hrm and logged calories burned and did not eat them back unless I was under 1000 net calories. I only ate 1/2 back and that was ALOT when doing zumba, I burned sooo many more than MFP calculated according to my HRM. It was awesome. I havn't been…

have you been tested for celiac? Its common with hypothyroidism, and it would cause your symptoms.

I wore one when doing cardio for safety. I was on a medication the increased my heartrate, and I had to be careful not to go overboard. I just felt safer. I'm not on the medication anymore, but it was sure nice to know calorie burns for workouts that was accurate, so I may still wear it.

I'm in South Dakota, we've been below zero already this year....I hate it...lol. We'll be below zero with wind chills off and on the rest of winter, sometimes even up to 50-60 below. No wind feels like summer today, we might even hit 25 degrees...my kids will want to wear shorts....no lie. I already wear shoes that are for…

How long does couch to 5k take? I want to run a 5k but we are hitting our coldest time of year up north, (it really really is cold) so we won't have races around here for a few months, I want to run one in the spring, but want to make sure I have enough time to prepare. My issue is my knees, whenever I start running I am…

Great job! I'm 5'9 and my ultimate goal is 138 as well :) It depends how you are losing on the rate...are you just doing the calorie deficite? or are you doing cardio? to lose a little faster you can add some cardio, or interval training. Maybe your getting where your body wants to be, you'll have to lower calories or…

2 of my children have celiac disease. Trust me they are not just jumping on the bandwagon. they would love to eat like their friends, but they aren't tempted to cheat because of the intense pain and misery eating gluten causes them. My son also is a type 1 diabetic, and ends up in the hospital with low blood sugar and…
