Congratulations! You look fantastic! Keep up the great work! :flowerforyou: I'm trying to lose 80 pounds in total, too!

I'm a math teacher and I had a party last pi day! This year I do not have my own class (I am moving overseas soon and looking for a job there) or I would have.

I celebrated it with music instead. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wK7tq7L0N8E

Congratulations! That is ONEderful! You should be so proud of yourself! :)

That is so fantastic! Congratulations! It must be a fantastic milestone for you. You should be so proud of yourself for coming so far in your journey! Keep it up! Feel free to add me! :)

You can do it, Danielle! :)

I weigh myself every morning but weigh in on MFP each Monday. :)

Honestly I am making sure that I am not doing it for anyone other than myself. It is the only way that I have been successful this time around at this point in my life. However, that being said, my MFP friends have truly inspired me recently now that I've gotten started.

You look fantastic! Great work! Congratulations!! :flowerforyou:

That is awesome. I wish more parents taught their children valuable lessons like this about food. Just because it is there doesn't mean we need to keep indulging ourselves. Bravo!

I tried to calculate this once since I sing a lot. I am just a lyrical soprano with a dream! From my research from various sites, for the type of singing we are doing with correct breath support, usually done standing or sitting up straight, and for long periods of time, it's about 4 calories per minute, varying slightly…

Congratulations!!! :)

I'm giving up anything considered a treat. Any desserts or bad snacks. Cake. Chocolate. Candy. Chips. Pudding. Ice Cream. Frozen Yogurt. Cookies. Only regular food, fruit, granola bars, and plain baked tostitos. Serious business this Lent. I thought about giving up the scale too but I am so close to my halfway point and…

non scale victory So it's something you measure your successes by other than the number on the scale.

Haha clever topic name. ;) Take that needle and thread and do that surgery. That is good kind of surgery. Great NSV! Keep up the great work!

LOL AWESOME

Haha Sara I love you. :flowerforyou: It's so true, though. People don't mention it but it's so true if you want to be really specific.

Thanks for sharing that! Yeah I guess I just need to keep at it and play around with it. I have to remember that the important thing is that I am doing something and trying my best and the rest will follow. :)

Thank you so much everyone. That really helps. @reepobob I think I just did want some assurance or validation. I know everyone is different but my trainer did a whole fitness evaluation and measured what my heart rate should be by taking a bunch of factors into account so I thought I was doing something wrong. I guess in…

Last time I got the Ghar Grilled Chicken Sandwich with Wilbur Beans as a side. Sandwich is 510 calories Wilbur Beans are 150 calories Another option is the Sassy BBQ Chicken Salad (Lunch Portion), no sides - 540 calories It's really hard to come up with something there. :(

Well that makes me feel better because one of my problems is that I can't seem to get my heart rate down. It stays over 170 no matter how much I try to slow down at the moment, maybe because I am just so out of shape plus my asthma that my body is working twice as hard right now when I try to do any cardio. At least I can…

No, but my gym has really good machines that detect your heart rate.

I log absolutely everything. Every last bite as best I can. I find that you have to be accountable all the time. No use only trying 4 or 5 days out of the week. What's the point? Even if I'm over, I still have to be held accountable for it. It's 100% or nothing!!

Hey there! Another ex college athlete here. This place is great for helping keep track of your goals and the support is awesome!

You look absolutely amazing!!!

Hey, feel free to add me. I live near you too on Long Island. ;)

Me, as well. Seems to be everyone.

First of all, I just wanted to say good job for being open minded about it instead of just sticking to saying that you are going to drink soda no matter what like so many people do. I totally understand there are certain things that many people refuse to cut completely out of their lives and I can respect that but the only…

I currently am a sub while waiting for that teaching job, too. Some high school must need a math teacher somewhere! I go to the library instead of the faculty room to get my work done and bring my own lunches to eat. Often times my leftover home-cooked healthy dinners make all my friends jealous. ;) I also resist all the…
