Level 2... wow. I don't think I've ever sweat so much in my life!! Definitely going to feel it tomorrow, but man am I excited for this level!

Forgot to mention, how much does gaining weight suck?!! I know it's a mental thing, and water weight from new a new workout, but it still sucks! I've been losing on and off for a year, and only after starting 30DS have I gained even though I'm still in a deficit. I know I'm not gaining fat but it's annoying that the scale…

Soooo... I know it's a little late but I'd like to join in! I started May 1st and do weekdays and have weekends off so the program will take me 6 weeks instead of 4. Level 2 starts tonight and I'm dreading it! The first 4 days of level 1 were a killer and I think it's going to be the same again this time round! I've never…

Hi!! I don't have similar stats anymore, but I did when I started so I'm more than happy to be friends! 5'3 SW: 181lbs CW: 132lbs GW: 120lbs

Amazing!! Did you do any type of program or just a calorie deficit?

I always eat at least half mine back and I'm on 1200 too. Still losing :smile:

I'm 5'3 and started at 181lbs! I'm currently at 135lbs and my goal is 120. I've always been big and have never been a healthy weight let alone slim. I know how daunting it is! But what honestly helped me was setting myself little goals. For example, my current goal is to get into the 120's! 5lbs to go. It doesn't seem so…

Hotdog, jumping frog... :smiley:

I have hypothyroidism and am taking mess for it. I'm down 45lbs so far with 16 more to go :smile:

You can't spot reduce. You will have to be in a calorie deficit and you'll eventually lose the belly, it's usually the last to go but that's genetic.

Add me!! I started at 181 and am currently 136. Goal is 120 and the last 16lbs are so stubborn!

So inspired! My goal is 120 too, and I'm currently 136 (started at 181). May I ask your height? I've sent you a friend request, hope you don't mind.

If you haven't lost any weight in 3 months then you're eating more calories than you think. How are you measuring your food intake? Are you weighing everything in grams?

45lbs down as of today! 16 more to go! :smiley:

Everyone feel free to add me! I'm 5'3 and have a goal of 120lbs. Started at 181lbs and currently 137lbs.

How are you tracking your calorie intake? Are you using a food scale and weighing EVERYTHING? If not, that's the first thing you need to do. If you're just eyeballing portions you're probably estimating. Secondly, you need to eat more. 1200-1500 calories is not enough for you. You should eat at least what MFP gave you…

Feel free to add me! I'm 20, 5'3 and started at 181lbs. I'm now 137lbs and have about 15-20lbs left to lose.

I'm in too please! No idea how to join though..

Wrists! That's where I noticed it first anyway.

Hey!! Welcome to MFP. I'm sure you know most of this anyway but my main advice would be: First, stick with the program, it really does work. Second, don't aim to lose too fast! Everyone likes the idea of losing 2lbs per week but for people with not much to lose, it isn't recommended. No more 1% of your body weight per week…

These last 20lbs are a b*tch!! Seriously, it is so difficult. I wasn't prepared for it being this hard, the first 40 seem like a piece of cake compared to this.

So many of the above! The main ones for me are: 1) How easy it is when you stick to it. Why have I never considered calorie counting before?!! All these fad diets were a waste of time. 2) How much it becomes a habit. Even on my 'bad days' I'm still conscious of what I'm eating, and I like to log the calories even though I…

The first step is always the hardest!! The thought of changing what I ate FOREVER put me off dieting for good. It's only since calorie counting that I've managed to lose weight. I eat EXACTLY the same things as I ate before (maybe a little more fruit?). I just eat less of it! I still have pizza and chocolate and pasta, I…

Once you're on the correct medication losing weight is the same as losing weight without hypothyroidism. -43lbs and counting!

I've lost 43lbs so far just eating less than I burn. I don't take any notice of macros. Most of my calories come from carbs.

I owe MFP too! Im 5'3 and started at 181lbs. Currently 139 and my goal is 120!

I'm 5'3 too and would love to be at your start weight lol. I started at 181lbs and I'm now 139. My goal weight is 120lbs but I'll re-evaluate when I get there!

I step on the scale every morning. But my only 'weigh-in day' is on a Monday where I log my weight on MFP.

Also, I can't recommend C25K enough! I couldn't jog for 60 seconds this time last year... now, thanks to the program, I run for 40 minutes 3 times a week! I'm a runner... who'd have ever thought I'd say that?!
