Muscle does NOT weight more than fat, a pound is a pound, it takes up LESS space ( A pound of fat takes up a whole lot more space than a pound of muscle) But it all weighs the same. :flowerforyou: Put two people next to one another that both weight 155 pounds, both the same height, the one that is 23% body fat is going to…

I am always slightly offended when someone asks me if I had WLS... Ummm , no. I did not :)

Hi ! Just wanted to welcome all the new folks to the site! it is awesome , a great way to hold yourself accountable, if you do what it tells you to do, you will lose weight, it really is that simple, Trust me on this!!! And for everyone who has alot of weight to lose, I know the end # can be overwhelming, I suggest you…

I had some today with my friend for her birthday, we split a piece and left a good piece behind. It was yummy! Stu, she said she last lost it all doing the no grains or rice. and is still wanting to lose 40 more. She was also highly against strength training and I am a big believer in it. I have seen what it does when you…

Just went for a run. Going to the cheesecake factory with a friend for her birthday today :). Thanks you guys!

Can u tell me how many your eating ?

I have to disagree with this. I am dealing with this now. For the last 6 weeks I have only lost one pound. Looking at my food diary for the last 6 weeks and the one thing that has been a constant factor is fruit I have been having 1 cup serving size of all kinds of friut with two meals an a snack. Sometimes more. That…

Also - the sugar alcohol. If I am not mistaken.

Hi ladies! I have lost all my weight from proper nutrition and tons of sweat. Read my blog if you want! You will find the link on my profile page. ( Maybe its still below too, I forget) Please do not think you can't do this, cause you most certainly can, dig deep down and find that inner strength that you need and know…

Good for you!! You will be so happy whe you are successful using MFP! It works!! Best choice you can make for yourself!

I have been here over 20 months, I have learned that logging my foods daily plus exercise, keeps me honest I have learned about carbs, protein, sodium, sugar, fat, and how my body reacts to them all. I had never been successful prior to mfp, so I can honestly say I couldn't have done it without this site!

Replying to this cause I am one of the few that will tell it like it is. I did not have weight loss surgery, I do not smoke , nor am I ever around it, I drink a ton of water, I have worked out with weights from day one of my weight loss, I have lost it slowly, and I have a ton of loose skin. There was nothing else I could…

awesome job!! You look great! :drinker:

Lynds! You look awesome!!!:drinker: , so glad you posted a new picture, I think it really makes us feel better and keeps us going when we do that . Love ya!

Well Said!! I agree completely. I still count calories, cause its so easy to forget that one thing. AND I have to work my butt off to get a high calorie burn! nothing like in the begining At the DR yesterday and my pulse was 52. it takes alot to get it to 152 where I like it for a good calorie burn.

Me. Just like you. And its ok. Its my friend. :).

I just took my sugars off what I track cause I was so sick of seeing it in the red everyday cause of my fruit. I do not eat stuff with added sugar, so I am good. I just can't freak out over the fruit thing. It was making me crazy!

I dont know, I think I am one of the odd ones here that thinks it doesnt count for exercise that you track and consume those calories. To me, extra calories that you can " eat back" are when you are working your butt off, sweating and raising your heart rate, not shopping. that doesnt get your heart rate up ( unless your…

awesome job! way to go!

way to go, what a great feeling!

your welcome :) I can say that I pick up moves very quickly, so I never just stood there watching.. dont ever do that, keep moving, Fake it if you have to!

Thank you! :drinker:

I have 46 people waiting for me to be able to accept them I hate that it maxes out at 250. :(

that is wonderful, and it is a huge deal , I remember the first time I did that, you really feel like your turning a corner. YEAH FOR YOU!!!:flowerforyou:

you look Awesome, Great Job!!

If you are working your butt off and losing two pounds per week and the lapband is there to stop you from overeating, maybe there is more to it than food. Maybe you have something happening emotionally that you need to do with ? If you lay in bed all day and eat ice cream its not cause your hungry, there is a cause for…

congratulations! that is such happy news! babies are so wonderful :)

awesome job! you look wonderful!

I have been lifting since day one of my weight loss, and it has been the best thing ever. As I get closer and closer to my goal and leaning out, I am really excited to see all the muscles that I have , that had been forming all the while. But to the previous poster, even though I have been lifting ever since I started…

Good luck everyone!! I am here to say it can be done!! it may take some time, but its so worth it!!! Good luck :flowerforyou:
