Go to the Success Stories... enough motivation :)

Hi there, Depending on how much you need to lose (and you dont need to lose much) you set your weight loss goal at 0.5lb per week and you eat back at least 70% of your workout calories...then you wont have just 1200 given by MFP. Good luck!! :flowerforyou:

Awesome Post!! Thank you so much! :flowerforyou:

Wow really...?? Cause I just took a quick random peek at your Diary and went as far back as June last year and I saw quite a few entries that was way over 1200 calories..... even a few way over 2000 cals.... so yeah, thats weird. Just sayin.

Wow..... Wow....wow.....!!!! Incredible. And hell yes thank you for the awesome inspiration!!! You are gorgeous. Congratulations on an incredible acomplishment.

:flowerforyou: When I grow up I wanna be like Sara...! :flowerforyou: You are amazing, inspirational and HOT! Thank you for always giving kind and helpful advice, you are great. Absolutely a success story! Whoohoo! Ps. You totally rock a bikini!! :smokin:

Wow! Just wow! You look Awesome! So much dedication and you sound very proud which you are most definitely entitled to! :happy: Welcome to the "fit" side of ure family I Guess?! :drinker:

Yeah.... Dan once again nails it right on the head.... :-) I'm real happy eating my weekly average of 1700 cals. And I lost 2.2 lbs in the last three weeks. OP, once again, congrats on ure weight loss. But I sure as hell cant imagine eating so little forever.....not to mention the fact that the older we get the less…

Congratulations on your weight loss! Thats awesome! Im honestly just curious, will you be fine with eating 1200 for the rest of your life? Do you ever go over? Like birthdays, Thanksgiving, Christmas, general parties etc?

Lol!!!!! Best reply on this thread.

I agree, well said. But I don't think the woman who wrote it wanted to justify a poor lifestyle or being overweight...rather stand up for the normal human beings that are looked down upon for not looking like "mermaids" the media so love pushing under our noses. All very innocent I think, with no ulterior motives to…

:drinker: LIKE!

Bump Such a wonderful thread! I need the inpiration again.

Whahahahaha!! That was great! Thanx for sharing!

Well I wish my "pooch" looked like "your pooch"! :laugh: But in all seriousness - strength train!!!! Start doing a program like New Rules of Lifting for Women, Stronglifts 5x5 (google it, its free) or Starting Strength. You will be amazed (pleasantly!) at how your body will transform. :flowerforyou:

I'm a BIG fan of Nora Roberts and J.D. Robb (Nora's futuristic series). She has the most amazing writing talent and a way to move you with her choice of words and emotions. Love Karen Rose - amazing writing style as well and great psychological thrillers with some romance. Dean Koonts, James Patterson, Lisa Jackson, Brenda…

I still thank God for the day I stumbled upon EM2WL. A year ago I ate 1200 calories....NEVER again. Thank you gorgeous, kind and patient ladies for changing so many lives. :heart: :heart: Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours! :smooched:

Damn I love seeing ure posts and pictures and progress!! You inspire me so much! You look amazing! Happy anniversary! Great bod! And rock on! :flowerforyou:

NROL4W! You wont be sorry. :smile:

Me! Me! Im from the Garden Route. Hiya!

Thanks Kiki....once again..you hit the nail right on the head! Getting back to basics. Starting now. :flowerforyou: :heart:

You are amazing Yanicka! (even more so with being so wonderful to have given 4 couples the gift of life through your body). Thank you so much for sharing your story.... I am guilty of wanting to lower my cals lately because of the damn scale... I am in Stage 3 of NROL4W, I know my body needs time to change and your post…

:heart: Aaah, I SO hope each and every newcomer or confused and scared MFP'er will read this!! :heart: Thank you Crystal for your amazing example of "doing it the right way, the HEALTHY way!" Thank you for being such a great friend on MFP and all the encouragement and humor you bring to every day. So many people can learn…

Oh my gosh you look stunning!! Congratulations!!

OP: I do IF.... but 16/8.... (fast 16 hours, eat in the 8 hour window) and then I eat proper cals to feed my body and my workouts. No use in losing muscle mass cause you want to lose "weight" quick.

Oh well done!! What a difference! You look so much happier and healthier, you look great. Good luck on the rest of your journey! You CAN finish it! :flowerforyou:
