well this is a great start! i am 35yr old married mother of 4 who needs to loose at least 50lbs, i would like to loose more but i'm taking the loss any way i can get it!

i did it in 2006, i didnt care what people thought because i was going to be healthy! My best friend was scared to death for me to do it because she thought something would happen during surgery. My husband and family were totally supportive. It definately isnt the easy way out and unless people actually know facts about…

I did WW about 6 months ago and personally i prefer MFP. I am more accurate and careful with what i eat on MFP than WW and i dont know why, however the one thing that i took away from WW is that i will eat fruits any time i feel like eating something for "free" i still look at them as free foods because it is a healthy…

I think it truely depends on each of our own bodies, i had a c sec 15yrs ago and still have that "roll" the next pregnancy was vaginal so i have the "top roll" well thats how i like to explain my rolls! no matter how much weight ive ever lost neither has ever actually gone away.

what i have found that works best for me....although i HATE getting up early. I get up at 430a to make it to the gym before 5a, i leave the gym at 6a, i have to be out of my house by 7a for work. I have 4 high school kids so between all of thier games monday is the only night i dont have a game to attend, normally on game…

I will be doing level 1 day 8 tonight, i figured i can do this for 30 days without a break, i mean its 20 minutes right?! first two nights i thought i was going to die, i cant believe how much more you can do in just a few days! at first i couldnt do the first set of jumping jacks without stopping and now i can do the…

so do they give you the calorie amount you really burned or do you have to figure it out?

so they have nothing to do with counting calories? i thought i read that somewhere...see i'm a mess!

ha..i believe so, for example someone brought in some cheesecake so i ate a little piece (log it) about an hour later i grabbed a reese cup then 10 minutes later i grabbed 2 lifesaver mints....mind you i havent eaten sweets in about a week for this reason!

i had wls in 06 lost 130lbs and have some loose skin on my arms and lower tummy, not to bad though. people dont even know i had wls. a friend of mine recently lost 120lbs in 1yr and has arm skin but no where else...she looks fabulous!

excersizing for me is a huge stress reliever, sounds wierd but i just feel so relax (or dead..lol) when i'm done. i wake up early too just to start the day right and not feel so stressed!

i am a 40D and my favorite is Champion. I used to get them at Kohls and died when they quit selling them but i found them at Target, they cost like $15 and the girls stay in place, i can run without pain!

i had my c sec 14yrs ago and unfortuneatly that flapper never went away even at my smallest weight of 169

my husband and i both prefer Degree any one of them works great! PS it works wonders on my teenagers too!!

I had rny 5yrs ago, highest weight was 306 and lowest was 169, i now weigh 229!! Its so easy to regain, this surgery is definately a tool and i never thought i would regain a pound however i was wrong. i cant stress enough that you need to change your lifestyle and unlike many i can eat anything and everything without…

I shouldve said this but i do eat pretty healthy but like many people i have my downfalls every now and then, even with the downfall i include every calorie and dont short myself and after breakfast and lunch i still have roughly 900 calories left when it comes time for dinner. I snack on fruit and veggies ALL day.

mon-fri i eat pretty much the same thing yogurt on the way to they gym, snack is some sort of fruit or yogart, lunch usually salad with only lettuce, egg and a low calorie dressing, next snack some sort of fruit or nut, at this time i still have over 900-1000 calories left to eat dinner usually racks up about 500 calories.…

i rotate each day, so eliptical level 8 doing hill cascades, bike level 8 hill cascades, treadmill manual incline level 8, weight lifting going from machine to machine. Each month i up the level so i just started level 8. i have my goal set to lose 2lbs a week so i think i get like 1340 calories but when i add my excersize…

I was worried about the artificial sweeteners and all the stuff i read about how bad they are for you.

my husband drinks this brand and hasnt complained yet.

I dont like breakfast either but i eat a gogurt on the way to the gym at 5a then do at least 45 min of cardio, normally i burn around 500calories then I tell myself to eat again around 9ish, i dont feel hungry i just know i have to eat, i eat lunch around 1p, and then the big food intake of the day is definately dinner.

i'm a 38DD and i find that champion makes the best workout bra. i get a large or xlarge,not expensive either i think i got them at kohls for $10

i think it just depends on the persons body, my highest weight i was 306 got down to 169 at one time a few years ago and it never left!! I am at 229 now and still have it.

It actually motivates me but no i dont rely on it, i'm so frusterated from being on this plateau for over a month but i like to push that button just to remind myself that eventually if i keep this up i will be at that weight.

Did I write this?? I have been trying to figure all this out myself, i'm rarely over my calories i excersize alot and i eat back my calories most of the time but i have only lost 13 pounds in 2 months. Just trying to stay positive!!

I like to make chicken wraps, just chicken breast, cheese, and lettuce to wrap it in. Of course you could add other things but im picky....who wouldve guessed!

I had RNY in 2006 starting weight 306 lowest weight 169, now i weigh 228...hence the reason i am on here, trying to relose on my own this time. For me I thought it was the easiest way to loose because i had seen so many success stories, i consider myself a success story too but i didnt change my lifestyle and that is…

when i did mine i didnt bring the excersize i do into the equation. I have a desk job so i put sedentary, however i'm at the gym 6 days a week for a minimun of 45min

I log it right before i eat it, for me if i see what calories i have left i tend to stay away from something i shouldnt eat!

i wish mine was true! i have been at this for 8wks BUT i have have actually lost 13....better than nothing!!
