Thank you! Please do not get discouraged, you're SO close. The hardest part is over for you. :) I hit so many plateaus along the way , just have to keep going! You're doing awesome.

Yes! MFP is my new Facebook. :) Helps keep me on track.

Congrats... and more importantly, GO EAGLES!

I was in the same boat! The hardest thing for me is just sticking with it. I wanted results immediately and that didn't happen (shocking, right?). After the first couple weeks the number on the scale started to decrease and eventually the lbs lost kept adding up. I started to feel more confident, and that feeling has been…

The heavier you are, the more calories you'll burn as well. So if you weigh 150 you're running 2 hours at 6 mph, you would burn significantly less than someone who is 250 doing the same.

I didn't really start to see results until my second or third week (and I had about 60 to drop, so I thought it'd be easy at first!). Just stick with it... things will start to change!

It varies depending on how much time I have during the day. I'll do between 25 and110 minutes 4 to 6 times a week. That includes stair stepper, elliptical, and/or running. Whatever you do though, you'll be lapping everyone on the couch!

Just hit 100 days today on MFP! I've lost 21.6 lb so far.

I felt the same was the day my BMI went into the 'overweight' category. Congrats! :)
