  • How did everyone do? I'm planning to start on the 26th .I have a couple events coming up that I want to get through first. I want time to plan too. I'll be doing this with my husband. He has diabetes and eczema, I am hypothyroid, have PCOS and also have some eczema going. I hear that a lot of those conditions can be helped…

  • I am 5'3". My top weight was 310, I am down to 285. My goal weight is 160-170. I am hoping that is around a size 10/12 or so. The weight loss center I go to set my goal weight at 178, because of my current muscle mass. We'll see as I get closer to that weight. Numbers don't mean a whole lot to me, I just want to feel good…

  • I just got back with my trainer this morning. It's been a long while since she's seen me and was excited I was having such success with just the Medifast. She understands that I am on very few calories, so she has me on low intensity cardio (HR btwn 120 and 140 until I burn between 100 and 200 calories). Then I do a…

  • Great job on your success so far. I personally love the Center. Yes it was a boat load (I have a LOT to lose - 130lbs - well less now :wink: ) but I appreciate the weekly accountability and have already become so close to the coaches there. Also I am curious, you are doing 5-2-2 but are only eating 900 calories and less…

  • I am going through the Weight Loss Center. This is what the nutritionist put me on. As I understand it those that have a great deal to lose, should start on the 4-2-1. There are actually a few different plans, not just the 5-1. To give you some idea, my BMR when I started was over 2000 calories/day (that's just to sustain…

  • I'm very much a beginner at fitness so I am starting with 10 Minute Trainer. My goal is to eventually move on to P90X and maybe even Insanity. I am significantly overweight now, so I don't want to over-do it. I have a few friends (non-MFP) that have done P90X and Insanity/Insanity Asylum. They didn't have a lot of weight…

  • Ditto! I have PCOS (as well as Hashimoto's - double whammy!). Been trying to take Metformin, but really struggle with the side effects. Trying again with 500mg ER 2x/day (currently titrating up to that). Trying to cut back the carbs, especially wheat. I am at 307 and would like to be around 140, so I too have a ways to go.…

  • That's "Reality" TV for you! There is nothing REAL about it. Sadly, they wouldn't get near the ratings on something that is real. It's just not as exciting. You need to throw in those crazy challenges and the drama of all those people living in the same house and training and eating together. I used to watch it a lot, and…
