  • Congratulations! You look amazing and have helped inspire me to keep working at this! thank you!
  • Hi! I'm 5'1" and I think we short people have it kind of hard in life. I think we need to eat less because we are so compact. I would love more friends I have things in common with on this journey so feel free to add me as a friend! Thanks! SW: 196 CW: 170 GW: 138 or less...we will see
  • I'm 43 y/o. Been mostly heavy ever since having kids...I tend to yoyo. Anyway, here are my stats: 5'1" sw 196 cw 163 goal 135ish More than 1/2 way there and still going which is already pretty good for me! Need to keep the motivation and healthy lifestyle to keep losing and keep it off!
  • Count me in Please! Need to get the scale moving again!
  • Thanks for the recipe! replying in hopes I can find this recipe again later when I'm ready to make them!
  • I will be right there with you! Love the support and motivation friends can provide!
  • Amazing transformation! You look like a different and much younger person! congratulations!
  • That is great! HDL going up and LDL dropping! Congratulations, I hope to see similar results when I have my physical this summer compared to last summer. Gives me inspiration.... thank you for sharing!
  • Other than the unhelpful comments of a few, I think many people have given good observations and advice. I only glanced quickly at a few days of your diary and I am probably going to repeat many of comments already posted but here is what I think: How long do you think you have been "stuck"? This process gets slower after…
  • Amazing! What a transformation! Congratulations!
  • Thanks to all of you. You are all correct that rest days are important and can help the body. My workouts are cardio only, cardio with strength training, or walking on a treadmill. All of my workouts are between 30 and 60 minutes in length. I do have lighter workout days which are usually the days I walk on the treadmill.…
  • Totally need accountability friends. I'm almost 1/2 way to goal and 1/2 way is where I tend to lose it and gain back, done that for 7 years and this time I need to go all the way! Friend me!
  • I eat small meals/snacks...mostly it just helps to keep from getting starving and losing control all together. It's almost like a lot of days I eat a regular size meal in parts, over the course of 2 or three hours. For instance breakfast is listed on my diary as a meal but I will have an apple and coffee around 7:30am and…
  • You look amazing! Are you tall? You don't look like you have 50 to go to get to 150!
  • I have a very inexpensive Pyle HRM with chest strap just to use while working out and I enter the calories on MFP. It cost under $30. It kind of seems to be high on calories burned, but maybe it's accurate and as I have adjusted my weight down and my workouts have become easier it is reducing the calories burned for the…
  • Add me! I've lost 20-30 lbs. several times and then fall off the the wagon and gain it back. This time I'm determined to reach my goal and keep it off and I love to have friends to do this with me. I get up early and exercise to get it out of the way and I try to make it intense since time is short, I do intervals which…
  • Amazing! I'm inspired by your perseverance!
  • I was in on the 21 day challenge with you and I'm still at it...today I wondered how long it had been. Would like to indulge but if I do I'll make it stay in the calorie range for the day. Since I stopped all sweet stuff in early January I feel great too! More alert, happier, more motivated and productive. I did not expect…
  • I agree with this post and was going to suggest veggie soups....even my daughter who is not a veggie lover will eat soup with veggies and she enjoys it.
  • I agree. I use a meal replacement shake when I'm very busy and need something fast for breakfast or lunch (never dinner as it doesn't make me feel like I've eaten well). I use Shakeology or an occasional Atkins drink. It's better than blowing your meal plan for the day because you were starving and short on time. Keeps you…
  • I use Arnold Sandwich thins: 100 cal, 5g fiber, 4g protein. They are great toasted or not. I also like Better'n Peanut butter which is a low fat peanut butter, 100 cal for 2 Tbs. Add fresh fruit instead of jam and it's a great breakfast or lunch. I also use the sandwich thins for egg white sandwiches with light cheese and…
  • I fit in with this bunch so please add me. Here is where I'm different: been on MFP since 2006, tried at least once a year since 2006, get 1/2 way to goal and then get tired, busy, you name it, gain back what I lost and start over. Do I get the gold for best yo yo dieter? Well I don't want it anymore....using the support…
  • Add me too! I have just recently made friends with people on MFP although I have use the food tracker for years. It really does help to have friends in this journey with you. You can do this! So many people have something to offer the help and support it has been great!
  • I will do this with you. I have already gone at least 21 days with no candy, cookies, cake, chocolate and sometimes I feel like for all my hard work I should reward myself with something sweet.....BUT if I eat this stuff I will feel bad about it and I think it could trigger a binge since this is what has happened to me in…

  • I have the same goal, hopefully by mid February so I can wear them a little this winter!
  • can't wait to check this out!
  • This is totally me too. I seriously get it. I'm 5'1" and currently weigh 180. I was sneaking sweets and replacing them before the kids missed it. I could eat nutella by the spoonful and candy by the bagful. I have been successful at going cold turkey on the sugary foods but I have fallen off the wagon many times. It's like…
