  • Hi! Trust me, I sooooooooo kno how you feel. I have been trying to loose the last 10-20 pounds for a year now. I am in no way qualified to give advice, but maybe you should try adding excercise into your routine. Maybe a little cardio and some light strength training will help you blast those last few pounds away! If your…
  • I am going to purchase a heart rate monitor but I spin 2x a day for an hour and do another hour of strength training/yoga. I so I think I am using the right number of calories. I say 600 for each spin class and about another 100 for strenght training. I aso dance and walk the dog everyday. So I think 1500 is spot.…
  • So true! thanks for the advice!
  • Also, I dont know if this makes a difference, but I don;t feel tired during my work outs. This could also be attributed to the fact that, if I am in fact not eating enough, my body has been fueled properly in ages.
  • I'm loving this group! I quit eating after dinner today! It took some willpower but then I realized that eating never makes me feel better, I just end up feeling worse b/c I ate more than I accounted for. It may sound trite, but nothings tastes as good as thin feels. When I look great, I feel unstoppable and I want this…
  • Awesome advice! It is hard est for me on the weekends too but whenever I feel like grazing I just pop on my iPod...some how music helps b/c it makes me want to move, not eat! Then I just dance my way to my room and get on MFP and it is al good! I can happily say that I did not graze after dinner today! Thank you all for…
  • I love to have a smoothie b/c it is quick, easy, and most importantly, portable. I only have them when I know I am going to do some vigorous exccercise that day b/c it is a bit higher in carbs but it is really healthy regardless. Also, I used to spend a ton of money at smoothie joints that claimed to be healthy but the…
  • Thank you all for your responses! I am going to try to incorporate all of your advice and just take it day by day hour by hour. Thanks to you all, I am not going to let myself graze! I am motivated more than ever before. I am new to MFP and I am just loooving all of the support!
  • Im sooo in! This is my biggest weakness!
  • I would start off with what you're comfortable with. In reality, you need both cardio and strength training to lose weight. I would mix up your routine to make sure your body does not become acclimated with your work out plan and your weight loss begins to plateau. Once your back in the swing of things, I would highly…
  • You go girl! What an inspiration! I have 17 pounds to go! I plan to be celebrating like you by the August 21st!
  • Hi! I am totally in for this! Is it too late to join? I soooo enjoyed the stories everyone shared about their weight loss, so I figured I would post mine. In about 2004 I was an obese 7th grader whose eating was out of control. Fortunately for me, I took control and lost roughly 35 pounds. Ever since then, I have been very…
