  • I have lost 95 to date, but still have about 60 more I want (need!) to lose to put me at a healthy weight. Lately I have lost a bit of motivation, as I've been stuck at this weight for a few months, but trying to get it back and focus again! One day and one step at a time...
  • This is great, I've enjoyed reading all the responses! For me I was surprised that my shoe size went down. I used to like the house to stay at 68, now it is 75 and I'm still ALWAYS cold. I didn't realize just how much extra energy I would have - I'm always fidgeting and moving, all day long! My tolerance for sweets has…
  • Are you eating back your calories from exercising? If so, try dropping those out and/or decreasing what you eat back. I've found that MFP greatly overestimates the calories burned in exercise - the only exception to this is if you're using a heart rate monitor which should be fairly accurate. Changing foods can help, as…
  • I'm at 91 lbs. lost and I've noticed that I've gone down a little over 1/2 cup size (from a D that was tight to comfortable) . They still have about the same perkiness as before. I do really watch the support when exercising though - I wear two sports bras, first sized correctly and second a size smaller to hold them in…
  • Wow, that's incredible!!!! Congratulations and great job to you :D
  • I agree with most of the comments above. Some of it comes from genetics. But mostly it is from the eating habits that are learned from your family and the lifestyle you live while around them. I've struggled most of my life with weight, more so than either of my two younger brothers. The older my brothers get the more they…
  • The gym I now go to is primarily focused on spinning done on the Real Ryders, rowing on Indo Rowers, TRX, etc. Newer types of equipment that have more real resistance. I LOVE the spinning. It easily burns 400+calories in a 45 minute workout (with 10 being warm-up) if you are being led by an instructor. Definitely tones…
  • Current Weight: 241 Goal Weight: 229 (for Christmas Eve) 11/26: 241 12/3: 12/10: 12/17: 12/24: Goal Non-Scale Victory: To get back on track with exercising at least 6 days each week and logging everything I eat - daily! Challenge 1: This year I was very good with not taking a bunch of leftovers home with me. That helped! I…
  • Yes! I'm FREEZING all the time now... I have always been one who is hot all the time - I mean, I would sweat walking a short distance (OK, I'm sure some has to do with the Florida weather!). At work I would always wear short sleeves and be warm or comfortable. At home I would have the AC set to 70 if I wanted to be…
  • Without a doubt my stomach...especially the lower part of my tummy. It seems to be the hardest area to get rid of too :(
  • Hello! I have started noticing a little of this myself (even though I still have a looong way to go to reach my goal) and just started reading up on it. One thing I have read is to take it slow - which I see you are doing. Another is to drink lots of water because hydrated skin helps with elasticity. I've also seen that…
  • Thank you so much for sharing! I needed a laugh today and am literally laughing out loud, with watery eyes.
  • I have tried doing Weight Watchers four times in the past. Each time I have lost weight and think the program works if you stick to it and are able to correctly calculate exercise and portion sizes... However, I have quit each time and never reached my goal weight on the program. I think that was a little discouraging to…
