Welcome!! :flowerforyou: I am the same way, I dread the thought of exercise :P I just try to think of it as 30-60 minutes out of my day, and how fast that time goes by when I am sitting on the couch watching my tv shows and munching on chips... it's really no time at all :bigsmile: And I know where your coming from, I lost…

Well said, BrenNew :drinker: And welcome Ryan!! MFP is absolutely amazing. I joined in November of 2008 and by February of 2009 I had lost 30 lbs. Unfortunately I fell off the wagon a little bit and gained back 8 of those lbs..but I'm back and starting over again. As long as you consistently enter everything that you are…

Thank you Jenna, and Bren =) Just logging back on here was a little intimidating... I can't believe I let a year go by!! Shows how easy it is to lose track! But at least I know that this place works and once I get past the initial changes...it gets so much easier!

Oh and I need to update my signature :ohwell: no longer 30 lbs lost.

I am completely addicted :love: Luckily, I discovered LC the first time I went grocery shopping for my new lifestyle and I have been hooked ever since. I go nuts if I don't have any LC in the house :huh:

Exactly how I think about eating :wink: Congrats on your first 20 :drinker:

Welcome to the site! You will love it here :flowerforyou:

Yes you are so close!! I expect a success topic from you soon :wink: :flowerforyou:

Yes Stacy, feels amazing!! Congrats on your 21 lbs!

Haha yayyy!! Thanks :flowerforyou:

Thank you all so much!! And congrats to everyone on their losses :flowerforyou:

Welcome, dude :drinker: You will love it here!

Make sure you don't go under your calorie intake, always eat enough. If you don't, your body will go into starvation mode, making it harder, or even impossible to lose weight. Also, be sure to eat at least some of your calories earned from all that cardio you're doing! What is your daily intake set for? If it's only at…

Welcome to the site :drinker:

Haha thank you, and congrats on your weight loss also! I love thinking about it that way..like I have also lost a little more than two newborn babies :laugh:

Congrats to you too on the 21 lbs lost!! It is great :bigsmile:

Finally, I am 21 lbs lighter, just about halfway to my goal weight! And it's only been 3 months! Yesterday my little brother came up to me with a 5 lb bag of potatoes and pointed out that i had lost 4 of them! :noway: This site is simply amazing :drinker:

http://www.healthstatus.com/calculate/cbc This site has just about every activity out there :wink: Just put your weight in, scroll down and enter how many minutes you shoveled snow, and it should give you an estimate...even though an HRM is the best way to go :drinker:

Late.. but a carnation instant breakfast ( was on a tight schedule :tongue: )

I weigh once a week (sometimes I cheat in between but I never log it) But... Monday morning before consuming anything and after going to the bathroom, I weigh myself..always naked :blushing: Always be consistent :flowerforyou:

:flowerforyou: Welcome to the site!! Great job so far! :drinker:

You definitely will :flowerforyou: It's surprising how easy it is after you get into the groove of things and you really commit. I have gone of track a few times, and still, I have consistently lost 2 lbs per week. Just take it day by day, and don't beat yourself up over a cookie, or a french fry :tongue:

I feel you on this :grumble: Luckily (for this purpose only) my husband is stationed overseas for a year. So I am taking the time he is away to improve on myself. But I am SO nervous for when he gets home, he is one of the most unhealthy eaters I know, and he is still thin as a toothpick! :huh: So I am bumping this topic…

Thank you!! :drinker:

Thank you all so much!! Many of you have had results that motivated me to get started in the first place, I hope I can provide the same motivation to any new comers as well :drinker: We are all amazing :tongue:

So when I first started this two months ago..I promised myself I would stick with it, and as long as I was able to lose at least 5 lbs per month, I would be happy. Well, two months later and I am down 16 lbs!!! :noway: This has only motivated me to keep going towards my total weight loss goal :drinker: Thanks all of you…

Welcome :flowerforyou: I got the same way when I got engaged, but now my husband is deployed overseas for a year and I am all about getting my old body back :) Just make sure you log everything you eat, drink as much water as possible, and eat any exercise calories you earn! I have been doing all of these things, and have…

I have been slacking in the water department :grumble: So my main goal is to drink my water!! :drinker: Other than that, just working out at least three times!

I started this challenge a little late (One week ago) and I may have aimed to high, but I'm still going for it! Starting Weight- 203 Starting weight for Xmas Challenge- 195 Current weight (one week later)- 194 (It's time of the month too, so that doesn't help! :grumble: ) Goal weight for Xmas Challenge- 189 (I'll be happy…

I have heard that's the best time to work out also. But personally, I feel like I need to eat something for some energy, and let it digest a little, before I work out :huh: Oh and I work out usually 5 days a week, but with the holidays and being busy, I work out 3 days a week with an indoor bike trainer. Also, 2 times a…
