So amazing! Keep up the wonderful work!

Love it what a great post!

Zumba and then interval training after work tonight then the sauna

Agree use MFP religiously for 30 days, exercise. Remember you can eat anything you want, it just has to be in moderation and fit within our given calories and exercise levels. You can do this!

Please help me understand too. I paid a trainer for the past month. We met once a week for 1/2 hour and he gave me taught me the things to do for that week, so bascially now that I am done with the trainer (until I save up more money again), he asked me what I wanted to work on and I said abs. We did core strengthening,…

Hi and welcome. I have been on here since October. I think you will like it. here. I am 50 and from MN please feel free to add me as well. Julie

This is indeed very unfortunate! I'm glad you felt you could vent and get feedback! My MIL threatened not to come to our wedding too. I just told her calmly "that is your choice and it is unfortunate as you will miss a very important day in our lives and many more happy times to come." In the end, she came, but she too…

Well said!!!! I also hate it when family and friends know you are watching what you eat and you get "is THAT on your diet". I smile and simply say "you can have anything you want as long as it is in moderation and within your calorie count for the day." Then I change the subject.

You are such an inspiration to the rest of us! Keep up the good work and the blogs!!! :)

I am so sorry for your loss as well. I know how tough it is. I had to put my Nicky to sleep when he was 18 1/2 - He was my everything before marriage and kids. I know how you must feel. I was just going to send you Rainbow Bridge, but see that someone else sent it to you. Please read it.....it time it will help you very…

I don't log my medicine or vitamins either

also how do you log weight lifting when you use the machines at the gym?

This is so cool! I am going to try this as well!!!!! Thanks for the idea!

38 pounds is something to feel VERY proud of! Congratulations!

Thank you for the suggestions! I intend to use them!

same here! what are they going to do, start carrying a scale in the squad and weigh us if the pull us over? LOL No I don't have an accurate weight on mine. :)

I think we all understand the period thing. Don't give up. I have finally figured out that I will slip at that time of month, but you have to figure, in a month's time....there are 84 meals that you eat (3 meals a day, 7 days a week, 4 weeks a month - I think my math at 84 is correct, but....correct me if I am wrong). Most…

Thank you Corrie - this really puts it all into perspective when one is having a tough day of not seeing the numbers fall on the scale.

Amazing!!!! Great job!

Thank you. I am going to get this book! It has a lot of great reviews on Amazon! Julie

This is a great article! Thanks for sharing this! It puts alot into perspective!

Hi and welcome! Feel free to add me as friend! If you are working out, you may be building muscles which weighs more then fat. Have you thought about taking your bust, waist and hip measurements once a week and recording them on here? Sometimes you will loose inches but the scale doesn't move as much. Try that for the next…

Interesting! I am going to watch this for the next week or so and see how these affect my weight loss. Thanks for bringing this up!

When I want something really bad like candy or that chocolate sundae, I actually go to MFP and log it in for the day, if it fits w/in my cals/fat/carbs, then I allow myself to have some, if it doesn't, then I delete it and either find something else to have or try to forget it. Remember the journey isn't an all or nothing…

Ok, I am kind of new too and from this post, I just found out what NSV - but what exactly is a non scale victory? Thanks!

I'm not sure about the contour belt, but I am awe of your accomplishment - you have lost 35.8 pounds, you are confined to a wheel chair yet you burn 3500+ calories a week. Can you give some tips on how you burn the 3500 per week? I also agree that loosing weight, calorie deficit, etc. will get rid of the belly fat. I too…

Welcome! You might want to up your calorie count - it is my understanding you need 3500 cals per day just to gain a pound. But like the others say, do it with the right foods, etc. so you stay healthy. Good luck with your studies - most impressive!

Nice article - thanks for sharing!!!

Congratulations and great job!!!
