Thanks to all, these posts really boosted my spirits and I feel like I can easily be back on track now! :)

Thanks everyone :-) I lost 5 pounds at my weigh in.. 25 pounds in 40 days I am very proud I have worked so hard and have been really focusing on the lifestyle balance. I will continue to learn and grow, but it's these biweekly posts and feedback from mfpals that really keeps me going! You guys are awesome, thank you for…

Great job!! This was inspiring for me, I am really trying hard to stay focused on the positives and the little victories that I've achived along the way. You look amazing, great job!

That is so great !! Your body probably feels so good, I know that rib cage feeling I can't wait to feel mine ! And congrats on the sit up! Keep pushing yourself, by next week you could be able to do 5! :-)

So incredibly proud of you!! I want this to be me next January, 2016! Great inspiration!

Should I be only doing cardio? I was told that the interval training would help melt fat faster and also built muscle - I do 4 sets of this workout: 3 minutes walking, 3 minutes jogging, 1 minute sprint, 1 minute jog, 1 minute sprint. Then between each set I do either 20 push ups, sit ups, squats, or jumping jacks.

I think it is perfectly fine! If you follow through with confidence, nobody will bat an eyelash.

If they snub at you, well, it doesn't seem like they are the kind of…

Thank you everyone, these were great responses! I just used my reports tool in mfp to see how much fat I was getting.. a few of you commented that may be the reason and someone else gave me an equation to figure out how much i should be having... .3 x 228 = 68.4 and I've haven't been going over 40.. i will consciously up…

Absolutely amazing. so proud of you!

I do- I am working with a weight loss doctor in my area. He has me on 15mg of Adipex. It's not a long-term drug, but something to help suppress appetite until your body learns how to eat an appropriate amount, then he weens you off. It is day 2 for me on the medicine and I feel fine. A lot more productive and focused…

Awesome Job!!

wow, these are all so inspirational! i just got back on the weight loss band wagon and have 60+ pounds to lose. I am at 228.5 right now and will need lots of support from mfp friends! I had to create a new account-come friend me! I am a good encourager too, the motivation and help from others goes both ways! :) great work…
