Is it possible that she is exchanging fat for muscle?

This is the only thing that has worked for me in the past, so I am trying again. However, the last two days my weight has been ticking back up, so I am either under estimating my calories or my weight is just fluctuating. I have never made it past 10lbs weight loss, so I am anxious to get past that goal. My overall goal is…

Every morning.

I wish I could understand it. I weighed in at 203lbs daily for 6 days and then the 7th day I weighted 207 lbs. I don't get it.

Right now, I am just walking for exercise. Once the weather turns nicer and we get the trampoline put up, I would like to start using that.

I have an awesome pond in my backyard that I can use for swimming, IF I can get over my fear of the fish and whatever else may be lurking in the water.

Congratulations! What a huge accomplishment!

I am 5' 8" and my goal is 165lbs.

You look absolutely beautiful!!!! Great job!!!

I have to add that I drink coffee and tea, so I don't have any caffeine headaches.

I had to quit cold turkey. I'm on day 36 with pop. I tried to wean myself off, but I found it I drank one pop, then all I would do is drink pop the rest of the day, so cold turkey was best for me.

I quit cold turkey in February 1st and this time it hasn't been hard at all. I believe it is because I am ready and determined this time. I used to drink Pepsi like it was water, limiting myself didn't work because once I had one then I wanted another. The only time I have had a bit of a problem is when I am eating out. It…

I love my standing desk!

OK. Then I shouldn't hold myself to the show "Fit to Fat to Fit" and think that it would be realistic of me to lose 60 lbs in 4 months. I can cut myself some slack and change my settings to 1 pound a week.

Thank you. Right now, I'm just using the 1,200 calorie guideline and logging my food. I've been walking a bit to start to build my body back up. I've just seen it mentioned on here a lot about slow weight loss and wanted to learn about the importance and why it is better. I definitely don't want to lose muscle or damage my…

That is amazing! Great job! I need to remind myself that I'm not going to lose all the weight overnight.

It seems all my weight is in my stomach. I measure 42" around my waist. I am trying to be patient, right now I am mainly walking to build up myself to a higher level of exercise. My plan was to start jumping on the trampoline when we put it up in the spring.

Right now, I have started calorie counting and MFP has me at 1,200 calories. It's a lot harder than I thought it would be. It seems those numbers add up quickly.

That is great advice! I will definitely try that. Thank you!

I have made sure to replace my Pepsi with water. I have my coffee each day like I used to but not in place of the Pepsi. I am also aiming to walk an hour each day during my lunch, I haven't been able to due to the weather here in Michigan but I have done it at least 3 days a week.

I have been watching it and it amazes me to see the person lose the weight. However, it seems like the show focuses more on the trainer gaining weight, I would like to hear more about the struggles the trainer faces losing weight.

I weight myself every morning. However, I only log what the scale says each Monday and I measure my stomach weekly.

It really helped me lose weight during the 30 days that I was on them, but not only did I gain back the 20 lbs I lost, I gained an additional 30lbs on top of that within 3 months of taking the pills.

You look amazing! What an inspiration!

When people tell me I am not young anymore and won't be able to return to that weight or fitness level.

Look how far you have come! Don't look back and keep pushing forward!

To be able to run and jump off my porch without fearing a broken leg.

Thank you for the input! Our family is such an "instant food" family that I have not had to actually "meal plan" and buy ingredients in the past. We just pop it in the microwave and go! Therefore, I feel so overwhelmed right now to come up with meals.

Amazing! You are doing great!
