  • Wow, thank you for posting these! So much inspiration for me and for all to get going. You look amazing!
  • I did that too for short period of time. But I personally believe it is not very healthy to restrict yourself to the very bare living maintenance. I switch back and forth between 1200 and 1450 calories, because my body just lets me know it is not getting enough fuel. That way I trick my body and avoid hitting a plateau as…
  • Small attainable goals are the key. I started walking around my apartment complex at the beginning of this February with barely catching my breath. MFP is a great friend for me, it will tell you as is, no excuses. I lost 14 lbs so far and very excited about discovering new delicious healthy recipes almost every day. I eat…
  • Congratulations! I am trying to reach the same goal, to be out of obese category. So hopefully, it will happen for me as well next month sometime, I got about 5 lbs to get there. Thank you for sharing.

  • This is definitely a journey, some days are better than others. There is a free meditation challenge online by Deepak Chopra and Oprah, if u r familiar with them. I use meditation to balance moods when I am low, and it does happen once and a while, less and less as I grow older. Beautiful body is not about external…
  • Started at my heaviest 227 in February, 217 as of today, waiting for Monday for a weigh in :-) Started by just walking around the block, now trying to jog on a treadmill and strength training and watching calories.
  • I used to work 12 hr long shifts and went to school day time. I managed to loose 50 lb. then by working out 5 times a week on days off after day sleep. All my food was prepared at home, so I always knew how many calories I am taking in. I used to have 2-3 snacks during the shift as well. It is harder for night shifters but…
  • Hi and welcome! I am 33 and also getting my body ready for future healthy pregnancy. MFP is a good place to get straightforward accountability and support. I started by walking around the block in early February, then joined the gym, and then changed my diet thanks to MFP, charting all I eat, even ketchup. Today I am 10lb.…
