You are right! I had been putting off my workout during the week until Wednesdays because of my schedule. This week I committed to Mon, Tues, Wed & Thurs. I did it. It felt great. On my Thurs workout I felt like I could just keep going. So, now the trick is to remember how great I felt during and after as well how proud I…

I know I was a little disappointed the first time it took away my calories. I gained back about 10-15 lbs over the holiday & winter and never updated my weight (mostly because I wasn't using MFP the way I should have been). Now I am getting really close to my "original" weight loss and will be going down in calories again…

This 30 day shred sounds interesting. I may just have to get myself a copy.

I got the "I can notice it in your face" compliment today about my weight loss. I took it as it was meant because I've only lost about 15 lbs in the past 6 weeks and have a very, very long way to go. Any progress that is noticed is something I want to celebrate.

For a local eatery, try finding something comparable at another restaurant or like another person said, add each ingredient in separately. Ask your local place to make it "healthy" or ask for substitutions to make your meal healthier. Ask for extra veggies instead of potatoes or swap white rice for brown rice. Things like…

That works out to 2.27 lbs per week. That's completely doable and safe. Good luck.

Yes, I'm making a lot of trips to tinkle.

I am on day 16 and doing pretty good with the exception of my PMS. I really like it because I can eat unlimited protein and veggies. I did of course take a day off for the Easter holiday but other than that I think it's been pretty easy to stick to. I like the challenge of finding new way to prepare/eat chicken, turkey &…

I did okay with counting calories, but found I had better weight loss when I had a more structured plan.

I don't hate working out any more either. I actually look forward to it most days. It took almost a year for me to get to this point, but now that I am starting see results it makes it so much more worth it.

That's a great idea. A group of us are doing a biggest loser contest right now and it is a winner take all event. Some of us are talking about doing it again after the 8 weeks are up, but I think this might be the perfect altnerative. Especially since most of us have lost our initial water weight and the "losing" has begun…

Hello. I have a very similar situation. I'm 39 and want to lose about 100 more lbs. I've lost about 30 in the past year, gaining about half that back over the holidays and winter. I am back on the weight loss wagon and going strong. I've lost just over 10 lbs in the past 5 weeks with the help of a friendly "Biggest Loser"…

I hate to say this, but it's a state of mind. I work in an office that has candy, nuts and goodies around all the time. It used to be really hard for me to resist, but I do not cave in anymore. Why? I'm not sure, I just know that my state of mind has changed. I have no control over the existance of these treats or their…

I've been on MFP for about 9-10 months and just started the 17 day diet two weeks ago. I'm finding the calories I'm consuming this week are about 3-400 below what MFP recommends. During the first week it varied, sometimes more and sometimes less. I think now that I'm getting things undercontrol I'm eating "better" and…
