I am stuck on a plateau too for 7 weeks now, up and down 3 pounds I WAS losing a steady 2 pounds a week---93 pounds down. I AM weighing everything ( cut the cap off my strawberries and they go on the scale)and I have measuring spoons, cups, and a knife to scrape acress the top to make it level. I am tunning 5K twice a week…

I was at the gym doing weights, and this guy half my age was grunting and groaning (for Pete's sake---lift less and be quiet) doing incline leg press with 4x45 on the bar. He does 4 sets of 8 and then gets off--NO WIPE DOWN--and starts doing bicep curls looking in the mirror. I asked if he was finished with the weights--as…

At the gym-and just doing some weights before work. A guy on the recline leg press pushing 180--grunting and heaving. I thought maybe he is recovering from an illness or something---you never know someone else's story---but when he finishes he just gets off--no wipe down, and is kinda strutting his stuff in front of…

I started the C25K on April 1st and ran that 10 K on May 3rd!!

I went from couch to 10 k in 33 days(never even ran as a kid--hated it)--and ran my first 10 K in 1:02:00. My 25 year old son ran his first 10K, and texted me to say 1:04:35 My NSV was the screen shot of my time to him-- and his "WOW"! Lasted 42 minutes on Jacob's ladder at 68-70 pace POURING SWEAT but kept going! Could…

get on the treadmill at the steepest incline you can muster and try to get it over 3.5 mph and work up! AND Jacob's ladder both burn calories ---you need 1000 calorie deficit A DAY to lose 2 pounds a week--so short of starving you will have to burn calories--fast! Walking takes FOREVER--the INCLINE really burns the…

Thank you all!!! Just keep plugging away 80 pounds gone!

I'm in---will weigh on June 1st! I like this weekly check in idea!

well I am going to do another 10K in the morning--so will use Garmin and MAPMYRUN--and my friend has a HRM, and will be running with me---we'll see how the data looks---I just want to make sure I am not losing my deficit by end of day! Aiming for a 1000+ calorie deficit each day to get 2 pounds off a week.

CONGRATULATIONS I have 50 more to go to get to my normal---75 done---nice to see someone making it! GOOD ON YOU!!!!!

So at 217 pounds it would be 835. I'm going to use this formula! Thank you!!!

If it really hurts to pee you may want to read about PAINFUL BLADDER SYNDROME (PBS)--because if THIS is the reason then cranberry juice can make it worse! You have never had a documented UTI. PBS can wreak havoc!! Also is there any way to can do some weights--even in your house--you can use old Bleach bottles or laundry…

TOO FUNNY!!!!! You are quite a story teller! LAughing!!!!!

SKIN SLAPPING SYNDROME--or "FLIP FLOP" syndrome discovered when I am running up the stairs, and wonder what the heck is wrong with the soles of my shoes---nothing!!! It's my loose skin flopping up and down! Time for mega support underwear!!! On April 1, 2017, I got on the treadmill, and thought I would vomit after running…

I am 60, and turn on my electric blanket in bed--to medium--and now I am shopping for sweaters--always cold!!!

I did fine today!!!

Well another session today hopefully it won;t happen!

I see no jewelry before-- and a bit of bling now--I started to wear bling bling too when I got past 50 pounds lost--now 64 pounds and love bling!

That has got to be the most awesome reason I have ever seen to lose weight!!!

I estimate I will be at 200 by June 30 at the rate I am going now! LOL My next milestone is 220--that puts me in the OVERWEIGHT BMI range. 30 weeks= 63 pounds.

CRIKEY---I really lucked out--I think my PT is great!!!---tested him out for three sessions, and knew that this would work--he is not imposing and is, above all else, KIND. I see the way he interacts with others in general--everybody describes him as a "really decent guy"--and I mean EVERYBODY! He is very attentive, and IS…

For the last 30 weeks, I have been working with a trainer, and usng MFP to track my food and exercise--I have been averaging 1000 cal deficit a day--some day I have a 700 deficit --some days a 1500 cal deficit---I am eating about 1600 cal to 1900 cal a day--but I am swimming(60 mins/day, doing weights (4 x a weeek) and I…

That is about how much I need to lose hit 50 pounds today! Can I be so bold as to ask did your tummy and legs tighten up?--the skin---it looks like it tightened up for you!! I am working with a trainer so hope that I can not end up looking too "saggy"---I feel awesome not carrying around a sack of potatoes, and I know it…

I was stuck for 5 weeks! Then all of a sudden 7 pounds literally fell off in 8 days!! I try to eat over 1500 calories but aim for a net deficit of 1000 calories to keep up 2 pounds a week You are smaller, so maybe a 500 calories deficit, but still keep over 1200 cals in, so you don't lose muscle. I found weight lifting is…
