I WANT to say go for it...I really, really do. But my boss goes for a walk/jog for 30-60 minutes during her lunch hour, and then she sits in meetings with the rest of us. It is unbearable. And we can't say a thing b/c a) she's losing so much weight, and we're proud of her! b) she's our boss. Her hygiene is not a…

For the first month I started with JM's 30Day Shred. Then I moved closer to a gym, so I did 70-80 minutes of cardio 6 days/week. I really should have incorporated strength training much sooner; it makes SUCH a difference in adding body definition. My arms didn't even catch up with the weight loss till I started lifting…

Thank you all!! I started in February 2012. I REALLY appreciate the encouragement!!

Great work!! I've been TRYING to increase my calories and adding weight training, but the scale just keeps going up!! Thanks for showing me that this method can work!

Oh my gosh; you and your friend both look fantastic--way to stay dedicated!!

http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/654536-in-place-of-a-road-map-2-0-revised-7-2-12 \ That helped me understand the detailed stuff--this method has you eating a set amount every day as opposed to eating back/not eating back your exercise calories.

I will join you in the pity party I work so hard to resist... I lost weight like it was my job. 43 pounds in 8 months. These last two pounds are OWNING me. I know I don't even have the right to complain, so I don't (most of the time). But man. Seriously. I haven't had a solid loss since like...August? And I feel like if I…

nope. personally my stomach wouldn't like them together. but that's just me.

Honestly? I schedule out some food--I know I'm going to want a treat as soon as I finish dinner, so I just make it part of my calories. Also we go to bed at 9:00 b/c we get up so early for the gym...I know it's super-lame, but it definitely cuts back on the nighttime eating!

http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/10589-for-those-confused-or-questioning-eating-your-exercise-calo The "creators" of MFP post a lot of answers to these big, common questions--personally I like to at least read what they write, since it explains a bit about how the website is designed. From there you can take it or…

Rock it!! You look fantastic!!

Ewwwww... :) I love my food way too much. (Might help if I liked cabbage.)

I think in the beginning I trusted MFP (before I found the Message Boards and learned the Error of My Ways), and I definitely lost weight! You can attribute that to just doing something new or no longer inhaling french fries (or at least taking a breath occasionally), but I definitely had some solid losses. These days I do…

OMG way to go!!

Great work!! That's fantastic!!

Wow way to go!! You look amazing!!

you look FANTASTIC!!! Way to go!!

great work you look fantastic!! you've got this 20!

I've been doing the TDEE -20% for only a month now, so I can't really say much. It's a lot more manageable though--I haven't gained any weight, despite eating 1700 cal/day (vs 1200). But I used to eat back my exercise calories (1200 + 350ish from exercise) so it's not THAT different. It just means I don't have to starve…

I was 170 @ 5'4" and I STARTED at MFP's 1/2 lb/week caloric intake plus 4-5 days/week of Jillian's 30DS. Then I dropped down to 1200 cal + cardio at the gym 5-6 days/week while eating back my calories. I wish I would have done the TDEE thing; it's just much more manageable. Feel free to add me!

Not running makes my *kitten* sag.

great work; you look fantastic!!

I eat 5 meals, but dinner definitely tends to be the biggest.

What everyone said is right--but also keep in mind that when following your TDEE -20%, traditionally one does not count (or eat back) one's exercise calories b/c they're already accounted for in the calculation. Personally I know I burn about 300-400 calories in my workouts, so if you were eating back your exercise…

It's not 100% accurate, but it gives me a mile for…

way to make a married woman blush at the office... and great weight loss!!

I'm 5'4" and 126lb (down from 170), and my husband and I just started weight lifting. I haven't read Rules of Weight Lifting for Women, but I hear it's fantastic. We have been following an app called iFitness, but that's just b/c my husband (who also knows nothing about weight lifting) chose it for us. We do about 30…

Netting.

It sounds good to me--I'm no expert, but my husband and I have been strength training for about 6 weeks now. If you hop on fitocracy.com, you'll find my routines (soehlerking) and the weights I personally use. We use the routines created by iFitness (on my husband's phone), but then we modify them a little. There are A LOT…

WOW. What a change--you look fantastic!!
