Good for you!! Milestones are worth commemorating so thanks for sharing. Today was my first jog. I've been walking 4 miles at a time 4 days a week and today I wanted to start my HIIT work. I thought I would just try to walk faster but I realized quickly that wasn't possible without jogging. So, I did 4 two-and-a-half…

You sure DO have progress!! WOW! Good for you and 100 days is fantastic. You are doin' it!

Thanks for the info! I would love to hear how you guys are doing right now! I'm 84 days into this and down 23 lbs. which is right at 2 lbs. a week. MFP says I should have been losing one pound a week but I do exercise and I think the fasting - I do mine every day for between 14-18 hours - boosts my metabolism. I'm still…

Do what works best for you overall. MFP tells me I will lose 1 lb. a week on the calories they give me but I lose two (23 so far) because I rarely eat my exercise cals. But in the 11.5 weeks I've been doing it, I've also had double calorie days for 3-4 days in a row while traveling (3 different times), celebrated…

This is often a problem for me as well, especially where I live. I have chronic insomnia due to a couple of factors (, noisy neighbor dogs, very active brain, and pain in the bod, too). It's SUPER hot in the summer here so all outdoor exercise - which is what I do - has to be finished by 8am and my exercise takes me two…

AND pics. Pics are so motivational.

Why would it be a problem to post the stats? I would love to see them.

Having my son heading off to college in the morning, giving me a hug and saying, "You feel skinnier." Also, visiting with a friend today and sitting on her couch, both of us facing each other, and having one leg tucked under and the other knee up and wrapped over my other leg. Feels good to be getting more comfortable in…

That when you go a week or two without losing weight you feel as fat as you ever were even though you know you've already lost 25 lbs. That is so WEIRD! Love this thread!

What do you say to the drowners who have 20,000+ comment posts and live to just drown out what anyone else is saying? I have decided they ruin MFP and it is no longer a forum where we can just connect. So, I just do my thing, which is working extremely well, and pretty much avoid commenting because of drowners. What do you…

This is great advice because we can't move forward until we really get it and being able to look at WHAT you eat will help you in a few ways. You get in the habit, as Concordancia says, and also it will give you a truthful look at your choices. It's amazing the capacity we have for hiding from ourselves. Be a friend to…

[content of post edited by MFP mods] Their Smart Points (new program) averages about 800-1000 calories a day. Not healthy, not sustainable, not a life-style choice. The "new" plan is a retro diet proven not to work at those low calories because it's not sustainable in the long run and they push things most thinking people…

It's also important that you sleep enough, choose healthy foods that optimize your body's systems, and be scrupulous with what and how you are reporting to yourself what you're eating. Are you cataloging literally everything? Do you weigh it or measure it to be sure? If not, you can fool yourself pretty easily (I know I…

Don't stop thinkin' about tomorrow, Don't stop, it'll soon be here. It'll be here better than before, Yesterday's gone, yesterday's gone.......

We are born to move. Moving won't hurt you if you're working up to it slowly, have great shoes, aren't hurting more than the occasional over-worked muscle, and it's helping you realize your goals. I try to do 4 miles at least every other day and more when I can and I'm working up to a consistent 5.5 miles as that's the…

Also, we only weigh once a week. Every day is too discouraging. I LOVE to weigh every day but it is sabotage for me. Maybe you, too.

Have you tried intermittent fasting? It works like a charm for my son and for me but we quite naturally go long periods between meals. We are not snackers but tend to overeat at meals. My daily fast starts about 8pm and I typically break it between 12noon - 2pm each day so, 14-16 hours without food. I also do my exercise…

Thanks for responding, you guys. I hope we find more like us. I would love to hear from those who've done it long term. Looking forward to my weigh in day with my son this week. I'll post the progress here and please let me know how you're doing, too. :smile:

Thank you, Alatariel75!

And I'm pretty new to the forums. How do you add someone, HappyBride917? I hovered over your name but it just brings up the "Send A Message" window. Is there a way to just connect ourselves?

I lost 35 lbs. with WW two years ago and I have regained 25 of it. I had three injuries this year (KLUTZ, I KNOW!) and that kept me out of my fitness routine. Fast forward to this month and I almost rejoined WW until I researched and found out the new Smart Points would put me at roughly 1000 calories a day which is…

Unbelievable! You BOTH look fantastic! Your decision set your whole family on a great course and what a legacy to pass on to your little guy. Thanks for this inspiration tonight and for being willing to share the facts and the pics. I'm encouraged!!

Sugar is my go-to as well and I know it's an addiction for me. Lately, I've been asking myself what might come to the forefront if I bypassed it? I've kicked it before - takes me five days to not crave it or jones for it - and then I've allowed myself small portions here and there. But, lately I wanted to find out what my…
-
dniania, I totally get it. I'm doing a streak of no sugar right now, at least in the form of added sugar such as desserts or pretty much anything that has had sugar added to it. Fruit is great (though I do keep it to a reasonable amount and can track it thanks to MFP) and not off of my list because the sugars occur…

Hi Keke and WOW. Congratulations! You made this work for yourself and that bodes so well for being able to meet your goals and keep the weight off. You now know, from keeping track, exactly what you're eating, what it counts for, and where you get off track. That's what I love about this as well. I wanted to share that the…
