I did it! Yesterday we went out to dinner, I ate small portions and met my 1200 calorie goal for the day!! Thanks for the reality check everyone. It is refreshing to be "put in my place" sometimes; friends and family always have the same line "oh you look great". The only exception is my husband, "You look good, but you…

Sounds like the best of both worlds. I like it. Thanks again everyone.

Thanks to both of you.

To clarify, I thought the number of calories that MFP sets already includes the negative 500 deduction. If not there is no way I would survive on 700 calories a day.

Thanks everyone! I think part of my problem is that I stay motivated for a short period of time. Then I blow my diet the first chance I get and restart again the next monday. (For instance, had company last week from Thursday to Sunday, I ate what they ate, which wasn't always the healthiest, but was the easiest when…

Ok, so I have taken Super HD now for 5 days. I feel like crap!!! Since day 2 I have been getting headaches, on day 3 I worked out and became so over heated that I almost threw up. I asked two personal trainers about thermogenic supplements and both had the same thing to say. Stay away!

ichigo007, did you workout that much before you started taking Super HD?

slay0r, I understand that. I did a lot of research on thermogenics before deciding to try it. I will let you know how they make you feel. emhargs, good luck with your supplements. keep us informed on how they work and the side effects.

She lost 7 pounds in roughly a week. I know that is a lot but she weighs about 210 so that is not too fast. I will let you guys know how they work next week. I hope I have similar results :)

Thanks Faerigirl74!

GemmaRowlands, first off congrats on 95! that is inspiring. I have been using it for about a week, it is a pretty cool gadget. and like jonski489 said, it is very addictive. I like looking at the steps i have taken and seeing a graph of how I am doing.

mcarter99, did you do anything special?

Thanks everyone! Have you noticed any improvement with your physical appearance since you started eating clean? I understand completely about the fast food. I eat clean about 25% of the time, and still fast food makes me feel like crap.

I have been exercising 3x a week for 6 months. I eat pretty healthy and stay within my calorie budget on most days also. While I am losing inches the scale hasn't changed. I know your frustration. My husband constantly reminds me that I should not care so much about a number. to concentrate more on getting the body I want.…

I need motivation also. Will be happy to!

Yes, you can have too much water but n12 glasses is not going to do it. Water intoxication is rare. check out this article. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_intoxication

Good luck!

Btw, I have a friend who is a figure competitor check out her site stephaniekeenan.com or google SK FitLife. She does virtual personal training and is wonderful.

I know what you mean. I have thought of getting one also. I entered a fitness challenge at the beginning of the year. I haven't lost any weight, but I have lost 8 inches of my waist. While that is nice, I want to see the scales move. If you are like me you need accountability. Which is why getting a personal trainer sounds…

I have PCOS also, can that really slow weight loss?

Hi Weight_less I have the same problem, I lost 10 pounds fairly easily now I have plateued for roughly 8 months. I workout 3x a week and eat aroun 1300-1500 and can't seem to lose any weight. It is very frustrating.

Emi_Pie, Nice job on the weight loss.

I would like to join also. I joined 3 days ago. Thus far I love it. The tools are awesome.
