  • 30 lbs down, 20 to go. Tons of ups and downs, been at this since like 2012.
  • Absolutely. I had tried WW without success. I don't think there was a problem with the actual program, but I didn't have the knowledge base to make it work for me. I'm not joking, my diet was seriously low fat popsicles and snack packs of crackers. No exercise. I had no effing clue. Probably the perfect recipe for…
  • Hi everyone. I'm 32. I have used mfp/P90 workout videos/walking to lose 35 pounds. I have 20 pounds to go to reach my ultimate goal weight and very little motivation. Have been off-track for several months and am just getting over the flu/bronchitis. I'm scraping by at work, but it's going to be another few days before…
  • It could be that you DO see your accomplishments as successes, but aren't getting any excitement/motivation from them because you already knew you could do it. It's nothing new- you've done it before. Many times. You know how this story ends for you whether you stick with it or not and it's getting old. You may want to do…
  • Hi there! I am into into drawing and growing my own Japanese morning glories. Haven't cosplayed since my early 20s because of my weight gain, but have always wanted to do it again. I'm 5'1" and started at around 180 pounds. I'm down to 154 with the goal of getting to 130.
  • 5'1" Age 32 HW: 180? (left) January 2012 LW: 140 (right) April 2013 Stopped trying once I was happy with my progress and gained some back over the last 4 years (oops). Time to get back on track! CW: 157 GW: 130 Lost through limiting calories, eating cleaner, walking, and P90 (the old one, not P90x).
  • Hi Katie! You may want to give yourself more time to make changes. You need more than a day to learn about nutrition and prepare for 1200 calories if you don't want to feel like you're starving (I know I did!). 1200 calories in junk food makes for a miserable existence. Eating cleaner and walking is a good way to start.…
  • At 5', I love walking outside or on an indoor track, but hate the treadmill. Walking is a very meditative and relaxing experience. I prefer to space out, so the mental effort required to not fall off of a treadmill (though minimal) makes the experience irritating. It might not be so bad if I could rest my hand on the bar,…
  • Individual packs of steamed edamame lightly sprinkled with sea salt. 90 calories, 3g fiber, 8g protein.
  • I think your chubs look like abs, too! You look amazing! Your progress is so motivating. I love the shorts picture, what a difference.
  • You've made incredible progress and can stick with it this time! Cathy's right, your face shape looks completely different in the newer picture. I'm on my second time around as well. 175 down to 140 and back up to 160. Boo. Ready to get back on track, too!
  • I lost nearly 40lbs with MFP a few years ago and have slowly gained back a good chunk of it, leaving me at 5'0" and 160lbs. I'm not too upset about it, but know I need to get back on track. Anyone else have muffin top? Not the belly kind-- the kind where your cankles puff out over the top of your socks. I COMPLETELY agree…
