  • wow that is amazing! that is exactly the same journey i am on now too, so I am so inspired that you did it!!!!! i also started at 190 and am now down to 167, but i want to get down to 140 before i get pregnant! Thank you so much for showing me that it's possible!!!
  • I can definitely tell! Keep up the good work!!!
  • I also have an FT4 (love it too!!) and I always subtract my BMR (however many calories I would have burned just sitting around doing nothing) from the calories I burned during the workout. When I do that, my calorie burn is almost always the same as what MFP gives me. So just sitting around, I burn 1.3 calories per minute.…
  • wow! you look AMAZING! you lost the same amount of weight that I am trying to lose (20 lbs down already woo!) i am curious - what was your diet like???
  • Hey - I've lost 20 lbs so far in 3 months by eating between 1100 and 1400 calories and working out (pretty hard, for an hour) four to five times a week.
  • after they come out of the oven (or microwave), I cut it open and put one Laughing Cow Cheese Wedge and a tablespoon or two of plain greek yogurt and mash it up a little - it is SOOOOOOO good! you have to try it! i have it like once a week.
  • unbelievable! what an inspiration!
  • Congrats!!! Question: do you eat back all of your exercise calories? I have been doing 30ds and other workout dvds, and i have been losing weight, but i haven't been losing inches like you have! i don't eat back my exercise calories so i am wondering if that is why...
  • You should get the book "Veganomicon." The possibilities are endless! Also, have you tried tempeh?
  • honestly it depends on how you train - if you do a bunch of reps at a lower weight, with the last coupe of reps being challenging for you, you'll build nice lean muscle mass and tone up your body. i do weight training and i've lost 18 pounds in the last 2 and 1/2 months, and it's great cause i'm not just losing weight I'm…
  • oh man i wish I could say something to help but i wouldn't know what to do in your shoes either! i would maybe look up some evidence of how that surgery hasn't helped people in the past and maybe share those examples with your mom or encourage her to look up those examples herself. that surgery can potentially be harmful,…
  • try cutting up a real apple and putting it in your apple cinnamon oatmeal! nuts are a great and nutritious way to get calories (just a 1/4 cup of walnuts or almonds is over 200 calories).
  • Hey! Im right there with you - trying to lose 50 lbs in the next year! I lost 15 so far in the past couple of months! You can add me! ~ Abby
  • this is absolutely amazing! I read your blog post and I am so encouraged!! thank you for sharing!
  • jogging on the treadmill is much easier and is a good way to ease back into running and retrain your muscles. if you don't have access to a treadmill, try to find a track or soft ground that won't be so hard on your joints. take it as slow as possible and a couple times a week do interval training. alternate between…
  • I haven't reached my target weight, but my opinion is - YES, keeping logging!!!!! I have seen way too many people get off track and gain all or more of their weight back because they just didn't realize how much they were eating. If you keep weighing yourself weekly and if you start going up a couple pounds, then you would…
  • you technically NEVER have to leave your home to lose weight. I would invest in a couple hand weights and an exercise mat, and check out this cool site: http://www.divine.ca/en/fitness-and-nutrition/exercise-finder/c_266/?do=by_part&part_id=6&muscle_id=
  • it could very well be that you are just gaining as much muscle as you are losing in fat (muscle weighs more than fat). so i wouldn't worry! it's only one week - keep at it! :) (ps I am doing the same amount of calories and exercise as you - i think 1200 is plenty if you eat the right foods! i lost 5 lbs so far in the last…
  • Lived by the Empire State Building for four years - there is a Chipotle inside of it that is excellent. There is also a Jamba Juice on 5th Avenue and 33rd street, right across from the ESB. There is also a Europa Cafe inside of the ESB that makes excellent salads.
