Usually, I weigh myself just once a week. I used to weigh daily (even though I only recorded my weight once a week) but the constant ups and downs were killing me. Haha

I've lost count of how many times I've done this exact same thing...

That's a great NSV... Congrats. :)

Wow!!! You look amazing and your story is inspiring. You rock!!! :drinker:

I'm in !!! (:

I'm 40, married and a mother of two kids, ages 9 and nearly 11. I have lost nearly 50 pounds since starting MFP in January of 2012. I would love to be able to lose another 20 by Christmas and be closer to my goal. I run 3 times a week and do weight training another 3-4 days. I'm excited to meet all of you and to get this…

Start weight January 2012--- 240 lbs Current weight 8/20-- 192 Goal weight-- 165

Haha, guest room is ready and waiting. Coffee will be served upon arrival. :drinker:

Cloud Forest coffee from Ecuador... OMG. Heaven. :love:

I do this, constantly. For me, I've found the best way to get back on track is to log everything. All of it. Even if I'm way over on my goals. That way, I can look back over the bad days and see where I am as a whole. And I've found that as long as I'm at a deficit for the entire week, I'll still lose.

Bahahahahahahahaha!!! :laugh:

Friend request sent. :)

What an amazing difference. Congrats!

Congrats! You look great.

Welcome! You can add me if you'd like. :)

Seriously dude... Take your issues up with Spark People if their calculations are wrong. Also, maybe get off of the internet and go get some sunshine. Clearly being this involved in posts on the internet is making you crabby. Enjoy your bitterness. :)

I used this calculator... http://www.sparkpeople.com/resource/calories_burned.asp?exercise=315 3mph walking for 30 minutes at 346 pounds is 217 according to them.

Whoops, you're absolutely right. I think in my attempt to multitask, I entered a speed of 3 mph, not 2 into the calculator. Sorry for my miscalculations OP. I agree with everyone else that you should just keep at it. You'll get stronger, faster and better in due time.

Simply walking at a 2.0 mph pace for a half hour at your current weight will burn about 210 calories. If you walk any faster than that, the calories burned go up.

You look amazing. Congrats! :drinker:

I absolutely adore autumn. I wish it was October all year round...

I absolutely LOVE C25K !!! When I first started, I couldn't even run to the end of my own driveway and now I'm running 4-5 miles a day. Keep with it and remember to take a day off in between workouts. You'll be amazed at what your body can do! :flowerforyou:

OMG, I love to run !!! It's my exercise of choice and I run ever single day, rain or shine. Most days I only run 5K, but I'm starting to train for a half marathon, so I will be running longer distances soon. I also have at least one long bike ride a week (15+ miles.)

Your story is truly inspirational !!! Thanks for sharing. :flowerforyou:

Exactly! ^^ And besides, it was posted in Chit Chat, Fun and Games.

In for the people who didn't catch the sarcasm. :laugh:

This! Yup, my ticker would have to agree with that statement. :drinker:

You look amazing... What an accomplishment! :flowerforyou:

You look amazing! Great job! :drinker:
