you could do weighted sit ups by holding a medicine ball or a plate. But if you're just doing them with bodyweight, I usually just enter 1lb as the weight.

First, you can't compare how much you burn from doing xx excersize for xx minutes to someone else on your feed doing the same thing, because different factors are at play. For example, if you weigh more, you burn more, simple. So if a a 125lb person and a 225lb person do the same activity for the same time, the larger…

I started C25K at 295 lbs with no running ability to speak of. I did the time intervals for the program (instead of the distance intervals) because a) I was super slow, and b) I wasn't on a treadmill or at a track and figuring out the distances was a pain otherwise. Over the course of the 8 weeks I successfully completed…

A bonus side effect of losing weight: funny joint noises and pains get reduced! Just keep up the hard work.

^^ What they all said. Fast does not last. Put in a strong effort, and you will see results in the appropriate amount of time. There are people who have lost much more then 50 pounds using the system, so try not to let the amount you have deter you or intimidate you. You can do this.

Would love more active friends who like to post/chat!

Maintain a deficit, however you do it. If you want to worry more about recomp, then maintain a deficit and hit your macros, however you do it.

I not only openly weigh everything, at the table, every meal, but have been successful to the point that I now have 3 other family members doing it as well. They haven't quite joined me at weighing food out at restaurants, but that's their loss. It's my body, my "diet", my success story. Screw the judgement of anyone else,…

For a meal: 3 egg white omelet with a slice of cheese for 110-120 cal. I found a whole wheat bread that is only 40 cal a slice, so I guess you could throw two slices of toast in there with a tiny bit of jelly/butter and still be just around 200 cal total.

I second MapMyFitness. I recently started using Wahoo fitness, because MMF does not sync with the Magellan Echo watch I bought. Fortunately, Wahoo and MMF can be sync'd, so I run Wahoo with the watch during my activities and then port them all to MMF for the stats and tracking. Also, if you're looking for accurate calorie…

@pcrucifer Delayed-onset muscle soreness

Feel free to add me! Just hit the 100 lb milestone, and more company for the remainder would always be good!

I enjoy hearing about other's days and keeping each other motivated. Add me!

If you eat 3 meals a day, why is hitting 1/4 of your calories for the day in one meal super bad?

I want more friends!

Anyone can add me, the more the merrier!

You're losing less than when you started because you have less of a deficit than when you started

I do the same thing. Any time I feel like I'm making no progress and get impatient, or the days I just really wanna splurge, I open up the folder with my monthly photos. Hits me like a ton of bricks every time when I see how far I've come. Makes me realize that progress is being made, and that the eating an entire…

Stick to your deficit, and you'll break through it no time. I know what it's like to hit a plateau, multiple times, but stick with it and you'll get through it eventually. I know having someone tell me that when I plateaued never made me feel better, but looking back they were right. Your body just needs a a little break…

When I started MFP i began the couch to 5k program at the same time. I highly recommend it. Its designed around being super out of shape and it will help you gradually increase your cardio/running. When I did the program I just downloaded the app, put on some music, and did whatever the time interval was they said. Speed…
