Morning all :) So tomorrow me and my fiance are going out to dinner, but we picked this cool stir-fry place where you put everything you want in the bowls (raw) and bring it to the guy that then cooks it on this large round thing right in front of you (and puts it in another bowl of course lol) So this way I can load up on…

Thank you all for the kind words about my happy discovery :) Welcome to the newcomers :) I worked out again yesterday (same Jillian thing, since I'm not ready to move on yet) and then did a 20 minute beginner Bob Harper workout with my fiance after he got home from work. My back started bothering me during it and has hurt…

Thank you! :) Yay I'm glad you like it! It's a fantastic app. I'll definitely rest the rest of the day. Watching 80s horror movies on youtube LOL! Also planning what to buy for next week's dinners. Need to focus more on healthy food I cook myself and less on frozen junk now that we have a bit more money for ingredients LOL.

Sorry to double post... but I just can't wait to share this!! I've been moaning about how I only lost .5 lbs last week. A full week of busting my butt workin out, pushing myself as much as possible. Eating so much better. Not salting foods, no alcohol. Only drinking water... And then today I woke up feeling sick as I said…

You GUYS!!! OH.MY.GOSH!!! I started on MFP on January 2nd.. I quickly dropped about 2 lbs in a couple days, so I wrote that off as just that my stomach was full of new years food lol. I weighed that Monday and I was 187.4. Since then I've barely lost any weight, we're talking under a pound. BUT, today I took my…

I could swear I said this before but I think this might be my favorite thread here. Just loving how nice, supportive, and motivating everyone is!!! <3 I feel like I may be fighting something off today. Very tired, neck is aching, headache... just feel woozy, like when you drink too much LOL. I've been off alcohol for just…

Welcome to those that are new here! :) @mweckler you crack me up!!

Has anyone here tried the 21 Day Fix? I always lean towards WW or MFP as I feel like they're the easiest to get into and live life around it, while still making great changes... But this girl I went to school with was 200 lbs and now looks incredible just doing 21 Day Fix and all the beach body workout videos at home.…

@tazzy2911 you mean the one where you get the first two months free if you lose 10 lbs? I've considered doing that. I lost so much with WW a few years ago and whenever I tried to switch to MFP I didn't lose much... But in fairness I never gave it a long, fair shot.. I dunno

Taking today off from exercise. Back was bothering my through the whole thing yesterday and pushed it more. Was killing me last night.. and it's still hurting so I gotta rest :( I hope it heals up soon. I really need a better loss this week than what I saw yesterday for the week before. Hope you lovely people all have a…

Hello all :) Well I'm taking today off exercise. My back was bothering me during my workout yesterday (Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred Level 2) but I pushed through. I paid the price all last night. It's been really bothering me so I need a rest. Eating as well as I can today. I just lost .5 lbs last week, so I really want a…

Jetamu, lucky girl! :P I've never been picked up by a guy before! I hope that when I lose what I want to lose he may be able to. krbkrat, good! I'm glad :) I agree, this is a great thread! I noticed you were talking about C25K before. I really liked that app, but I just adore zombies, run! If any of you haven't tried it, I…

Oh no! You didn't sound like a brat at all!! I totally get where you're coming from :) I just wanted to be a bit of a cheerleader... I've been down and frustrated today, so it felt good to be all positive for others :D Yeah, totally. Guys are actually really sweet sometimes :P Mine's the same way.. but man no matter how…

Girl, I know what you mean. Recently me and my fiance were the same weight. He's gained a bit, but I've gained more. I freaked out. No matter how sweet they are to us, it bothers us girls. We want to feel dainty and feminine and sexy... we want to be light enough for them to pick us up. I feel very heavy too. I'm also 5'9"…

Hello all :) May I jump in here? I love the thought of a place to post daily! I'm hoping to lose 37...but based on when I was only 11 pounds away from there before... I have a feeling I may need to get lower to be happy. Either that or get into heavy lifting once I can get to a gym in a couple months, in order to blast fat…

This... This is amazing. Gives me such hope, @psych101 I fear I'll have loose skin, but I'm not sure I look much different from your before. Your after is my wildest dreams for myself. Amazing. Bravo, girl!

I hope none of you laugh at this one, lol!! I'm 29, and since I was about 12 I've wanted a belly ring :P I think that's one of my biggest non-numeric goals, is to feel good enough to get that done. Also, to wear a bathing suit comfortably!! Even if it's a one-piece only.

April, feel free to add me too!! Just getting back on track and I'm engaged too! Our wedding is most likely next spring, but haven't set the date yet. I would like to lose about 40 by then... and seriously tone up my arms!! Also, my legs and tummy... cause I wanna wear a bathing suit on my honeymoon. I haven't even owned a…

Oooh great idea! Love this!! I weighed this morning and after a week I'm down .5 lbs. I was struggling... wanted to give up. Quit. Eat what I wanted and have some tequila tonight. But instead, I'm sticking to my plan, seeing what I can adjust to maybe lose a bit more next week, and jumped into Jillian Michaels' 30 Day…

Thanks so much! Really appreciate the advice. Will keep an eye out for that stuff, and get a scale as soon as I can.

I selected Sedentary. I'm a stay at home fiance right now, so to be honest I don't do much when I'm not exercising. Which is why I was only eating a bit more when I worked out.

Thank you, missblondi!!! Had no idea that was an option! Will change it for sure. Thanks, try2again :) I'll keep going and see what happens.

Thank you! :) Just started on the 4th

Ok, It gave me this: Your TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure, based on your BMR and your activity level) 1988 cals per day To lose 0.5lb per week, you would need to consume 1738 cals per day To lose 1lb per week, you would need to consume 1488 cals per day So, you're saying -500... so that would mean 1488 for me? EDIT:…

So if in the end I'm losing what MFP thinks I've earned... should I maybe try not eating any earned calories this week?

Thanks guys :) I've been eating around 1600-1700 a day when I exercise. My daily calorie goal is 1550 after going through the settings and selecting 1 lbs a week, as was recommended to me by another user. I want to lose faster, but maybe that's not a good idea...? Half a pound feels so little... Like I'll never reach goal.…

My first week and I'm down .5 .... I just made a post asking for help. Very frustrating and discouraging when you feel like you've worked so hard and not gotten the result you wanted. It makes me feel like it was for nothing. JaneyB311, I'm REALLY hoping that happens for me soon. Either that or I'm doing this all wrong…

60 days???!?!?! woooowza

Thank you for this!!! I was sent here by a lovely lifter, and now after reading your description and watching that video it all seems so much simpler (not easy, god no, LOL) than I was thinking it was. Bravo! Totally going for this as soon as I can get to a gym.

Thank you!! I'll look at those threads. For now I can't start lifting right away, but I can still build up some muscle, with jillian michaels videos and YAYOG which I plan on getting. I just don't have the money for gym or equipment yet :/ I friended you though, and I would love to get started once I can. I think I'll be…
