I have 2 more days left of week 4. I was scared too but seriously....don't be. You do what you can do and keep doing it. Both my husband and I are extremely pleased with the progress we have made in the 4 weeks since we started. Just have a positive attitude and are eating well. It will zap you the first week but it does…

This!

Hi Mary, I am 44 as well. I would love to be friends with you and help you with this journey. My highest weight was 286 pounds and I have lost over a hundred and I am more fit now then when I was 20 :smile: Just know that it is a process....nothing done over night or the easy way is going to last forever. Slow and…

Just do it! I was scared too...but I asked someone and they were more than happy to explain technique and really spent time with me making sure I knew what I was doing. And I have been lifting heavy ever since. And whenever I am learning something new I just ask and nobody has ever turned me down. You just got to ask…

I would definitely increase your fiber and your protein. MFP goals for fiber are too low....you should be at least 25 - 30 g /day. And protein is so very necessary especially if you are weight training. You are lacking in that everyday. Watch your sodium levels and drink lots of water....especially if you have a high…

My friend tried them....bragged that she lost 10 pounds the first week and well now......she gained 60....50 more than she started with.

water and green tea (either cold or hot)

Thank you for sharing this! I needed to read this today!

I gave up the scale and I am much happier for it! I log my calories, I work out 6 days a week both cardio and weights. I feel better, look better, my clothes fit better. I am happy. But if I were to get on the scale and see a number that I did not like then everything I just said would suddenly disappear and I would…

My husband and I just bought this and used it for the first time today. I really want to know what others think as well. I don't know how accurate it is but I like the OP said I just want to track my bf% and make sure it is going down. Any thoughts anybody?

It works but I use club soda instead because I don't want the crap chemicals from diet pop

Absolutely LOVE it because that is exactly how I am! I like food and sometimes I like bad food but it doesn't get in my way...I just work my butt off a bit extra and the pounds and inches come off even though....gasp.....I ate a greasy slice of pizza with pepperoni no less:)

HW 286 CW 181 and trying so desperately to get to 160:)

I eat whatever I want as long as it is in my calorie range. With that being said....I feel much better when I eat healthier foods so I do that 90% of the time but there is no way on earth that I would give anything up. I have to live with this the rest of my life so it has to be doable forever and to say that chocolate or…

yum

Tblsp of peanut butter and a tblsp of dark chocolate chips

I am sure she is wearing them to help combat the pressure which causes numbness in your hands. I am pretty sure she isn't making a fashion statement. And as far as sweat....they aid with that too

So there's hope??? I have been 181 for 3 weeks......hoping something breaks soon! Congratulations!

Perfectly said!!!

lost 105 pounds that way....seems to be working for me. I do have a HRM so my calories burned is more accurate than MFPS but yes....you can eat your exercise calories back

Not severe enough if you ask me!

I just recently added bicycling to my workout schedule....let me tell you that I am so glad that I did! I am enjoying it so much and it is quick and easy for me to hop on and get a good burn. But with that being said....I have a great place to ride and I don't have to do anything but take my bike out of the garage and go.…

AMEN!

the fructose in fruit is quite a bit less then the High fructose that is added to things. Fruit does not make you dumb and it is ignorant to take that from this statement. High fructose corn syrup is derived from corn....it does not occur naturally. I am not sure how they can call it natural and sugar is sugar as t he…

a calorie burned is a calorie burned whether you are wearing workout clothes or normal clothes. You are obviously going to burn way more walking around the park then sitting on your butt at home or work. Wear a heart monitor if you can, pause it when you are not walking around and start it back up when you are. If you…

I did it 6 days rested the 7th . Then continued where I left off

snack on healthy snacks all through the day...that is what I have done...I try very hard not to let myself ever get too hungry because that causes all sorts of problems lol. I feel like I eat all day long and I still have lost 102 pounds as of today. Works a lot better for me then when I used to try and starve…
