getting ready to start this and would love to see what others are eating. It still looks pretty restrictive to me I'm thinking maybe a mix of calories and the containers to get a feel for things that are not on there. like I didn't see regular pasta but I saw whole wheat pasta. I would rather have regular since the…

yes definitely. I work twice as hard and never seem to get anywhere. I have lost weight but it's really hard

Congrats you look amazing and you have accomplished a lot.

I am with cheangela it's probably the sodium. I'm sure there is more sodium in the cake than you expected. Soduim is everywhere. I exercise a bunch and though MFP adds calories it doesn't add soduim. I will normally stop eating when I hit my sodium max not calorie max that leave a lot of calories ont he table but I know my…

I can weigh myself before I eat chinese food and then again after and see a 3 to 5 lbs increase. It normally takes about 2 to 3 days of good eating and hard exercise to get rid of the extra pounds.

don't you just love good surprises!

I'm on week 2 of turbo fire. I love it

I would recommend the couch to 5k program if you haven't done any running yet at all. This is a great program. Also don't worry about speed / pace try and finish that's what's most important. Also, run a few 5k's there are always races throughout many cities. And also remember that there are good days and bad days don't…

I agree we all need time off from obsessing about weightloss. I took about a month off and though I didn't lose anything I didn't gain anything either. I tried to make good choices but sometimes I didn't. Don't worry if you want it you will get back on track. The most important thing is that you find the motivation to get…

I weigh daily and I log daily. I want to stay true to myself and fluctuations are natural. Over time the number goes down little by little. Just remember that weight loss takes time and we all have fluctuations it's only natural. Don't get discouraged

can you exercise at home. the jillian michaels 30 day shred is pretty good and it's only 30 minutes. if you can do that every day for 30 it would be good

you look great. How long did it take you

sodium should be next thing you pay attention to. Everything has sodium in it. Check and see what your sodium is you may be very surprised

he probably thinks that if you are getting in shape it will make you attractive to other guys and you'll leave him. Stay on track don't let him get you down. You lose weight and get in shape for yourself that is what is most important don't worry about other people's actions worry about your own. And if you are only going…

On the bottom of my fitness pal where it says 8 cups of water a day it means 8 standard cups which is 8 ounces per cup not a bottle of water but an actual cup. At a minimum you should be drinking 64 ounces of water a day. Here is a web page with little quiz as to how much water you should drink…

you look great love the pictures. I love your top in the last pic where did you get it?

I will friend request you it's always good to have supportive friends. This is a difficult journey for us and we need all the support we can get

it's pretty tough start with lower weight than you think you will need. Other than that it's pretty quck just keep reminding yourself it's only 30 minutes and you'll get through.

I agree seeing everyones weight fluctuate is a great relief. Some days I see it's just me but now I know it's not just me. Thanks for the insight.

I normally enter them as either aerobic or circuit. If you have a heart monitor you manually put in your calorie burn with the time you worked out. then it doesn't matter what kind of exercise it is.

Congrat!!!

Check your sodium intake you can put it on the main screen if you go into the settings. I was under my calories and fat one day but way over on my sodium (over double). My weight had gone up 5 lbs. Now I watch this also and I didn't fluctuate this weekend like I normally. This is just a thought and keeping drinking lots of…

Safety pins worked for me for a little while.

I notice when I eat sodium the next day my weight can be up almost 5 lbs. Then it takes about 2 to 3 days to go back down. I have also started tracking my sodium. I eat lots of salads and those are fine but the salad dressings contain lots of sodium. I think I will look for some sodium free dressing or make my own.

I weigh myself on my bathroom scale and get on 3 times because it can change within a few seconds. I alway take the lowest weight.

L1D7 complete this morning. Figured I would get it done early and over with. Plus my daughter pushed me a bit and said you gotta do it mom. So I did.

don't forget to add the lawn mowing as exercise

L1D6 complete. I hate exercising on the weekends but I told myself if I just got up and did it I would be done in 30 minutes and then I wouldn't have to think about it for the rest of the day. Plus we had chinese buffeet last night and I gained two lbs but I know it salt from the chinese food. I guess I've changed my…

I feel the same way you do. I rarely see my weight loss and I've lost over 20 lbs. Everyone else sees it and says you look great and I'm like I'm no where near where I want to be. I still look "fat" to me.

Yeah I can't wait to hit that point. Congrats on being officially "overweight"
