Thanks for all the great advice! As far as going outside, it's not just the issue of getting sick. Part of my son's cancer treatment is a stem cell transplant which will require him to spend three months in a bone marrow unit. He won't be able to leave the room, and anytime I leave the floor, I have to shower and change…

Anyone feel free to add me. I just started my reset yesterday, and I could really use some encouragement. I still have friends who don't eat very much on my list, and it's discouraging seeing how much weight they are losing while I know I'll be gaining in the next several weeks.

That's discouraging. I just finished the first chapter last night, and I DEFINITELY have more than 30 pounds to lose. Now I'm thinking maybe I should have waited to buy it. :-/ I'm really starting to think this might not be right for me. I have such a long way to go and eating 2500 calories a day isn't going to help me get…

Thanks for the advice! I have my calories set to TDEE- 15% right now, but I'm debating on whether I need to do a reset. My calories have been all over the place the last couple of months, but recently in the 1700-2000 range with eating back exercise calories. Then I have my binge days in between. I've been working on…

Feel free to add me - just joined a week or so ago, and I have a long way to go to reach my goal weight. I'm so glad I don't have to starve to get there though!

^^^^^^^Love this!! I needed to read that.

Feel free to add me as a friend - I'm just getting started, but I need friends who EAT! My 1200-1500 calorie friends just don't understand. Even though I'm just starting I've had people tell me it sounds like too much to eat. I just listen, smile, and then forget everything they say :-)

Just upped my calories to 2058 a little over a week ago after being STUCK on the scale for two weeks. I don't eat back my exercise calories though (see: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/ShannonMpls/view/tdee-exercise-calories-an-alternate-way-to-customize-mfp-goals-238045 ). Still too early to tell if it's helping the…

You're gorgeous! I love how happy you look in your "after" pictures... you have a geniune smile, not a forced smile, if that makes sense :-) Such an inspiration to people like me who have a long way to go.

You look great! Thanks for the tips!

I felt like an idiot the first time I went to Zumba, and still feel like an idiot everytime I go. But I sweat, and I do things I wouldn't do on my own when I'm in a class in front of other people. It forces me to push myself, so, for that, I love it!

I'm in! I love challenges. And I can always use support, motivation and accountability.

Great advice! Thanks! I needed this.
