Hi there! I'm 5'3'' and now at 235 pounds. I eat 1800 calories a day, and go to the gym about 4 times a week (more if I actually make it on the weekend lol). I've heard a lot of people say that more calories helps them lose rather than less. I generally lose at least a pound a week, but it varies. Good luck! Friend request…

Hi there! I started at 248 pounds, and am 5'3''. I eat 1800 calories a day, (which I was informed I should be eating by a nutritionist), and I hit the gym usually about 4 days a week after work doing cardio exercises. My cardio varies from 30-45 mins, although I started slow with 20 mins as to not overdo it and injure…

Thanks dancing, that sounds like a good idea! I didn't even think to look on Pinterest. And never would have thought to do 15 min intervals throughout the day. Thanks again!

Thanks ladies, I will check out some videos online. I'm also looking for specific exercises, eg. jumping jacks, burpees, those type of things that I can do without having to follow a video. I like to switch it up!

Hi Wendy! Welcome to MFP! I am not new here, but have started over, trying to get healthy again. It's a process, but we can do it :) Friend request on the way!

Friend request on the way! Congrats on joining, this is such a great place to find support and motivation! :)

Feel free to add me! We all need motivation and support, I also am not new to MFP, but am now back at it on a daily basis. We CAN do this! :)

Hey MizzSalty! Congrats on your MBA! I am about to graduate with my BBA in a few weeks, MBA to come in the future! I just started a 5k training program, I have never been a runner, but am ready to begin! Feel free to add, I'm pretty awesome too!

I am at 1800 right now, but am often under by quite a few hundred. Feel free to add me! My diary is open as well.

Hi Sugar! Sorry to hear about your past, but at least you stood up and said this is enough! I am proud of you for getting you and your family out of the situation, unfortunately it isn't always the case. I am also an emotional eater, it's a hard habit to break, but we CAN do it! I've tried to lose weight quite a few times,…
-
That is the positive way to look at it! Each time is a new experience, and we learn from the past. Thanks for the add, I look forward to helping each other along the way! Good luck! :)

I am in the same boat! I started January 4th this year, was into my routine for months, but with a stressful semester, and then the summer, I gained back the 25 I lost! We can do it though! :)
-
Welcome! This is def the place to be for support and motivation! I'm 26 with 80 pounds left to lose, so we have similar goals. Feel free to add me :)

My daughter actually has Dance Central, but I've never really looked into it lol. Thanks! I'll check it out!

Hi there! I'm also new on here, with 90 pounds to lose. Feel free to add me, we all need support and motivation!! :)

I think I'll get YSE, it sounds like something I would stick to lol. I like that it has all the different options as well. Thanks, this was really helpful :)
-
Thanks for the add! It's great to meet people in the same boat as I am, we can do this girl! Good luck! :)
-
Thank you all so much! I checked a few sites and I am definitely eating too few calories a day. I am going for 1800 a day now and will gradually decrease from there, and will add more protein. I appreciate all the support, and good luck to all with your progress! :)

That is what the calorie tracker set it as on here. Is that too low?
-
I am eating about three meals a day, with a snack in between, and drinking water constantly. I have also cut out bread which I'm thinking I may need to just cut down the intake and eat it in moderation. I think I will try the 200 calories about every two hours, that seems as though it may help. I know they also say that…
