I found the spreadsheet very helpful. I finally got my hours nailed down correctly. I've been over exercising and under eating and put a pound on last week. I'm having a hard time getting to my calorie goal of 2,204. I'm going to back off the exercise a little (most of it is heavy; Zumba and 30 Day Shred). I've copied the…

I'm hypo and am on Levothyroxine. I've lost 14 lbs since January 7th but I've quit all carbonated drinks, watch my starches and work out 5 to 6 days a week. If I don't work out that often I feel like crap and can tell a huge difference in my energy level. I do Zumba, walking and elliptical mostly but throw in Yoga and…

Congratulations!! I lost 2 lbs this week also! I have so much more energy now that I'm eating more.

Just changed my goals...Thank you for this! I haven't lost any weight in two weeks probably because I haven't been eating enough. This sounds like it'll work.

You are so right about the measurements! When the scales don't move, the tape measure does! Hard work shows one way or another! I just joined MFP this month and I lost 10 lbs in the first two weeks (water weight I'm sure)...nothing since but inches have come off. That's kept me motivated. I know more weight will come off…

Yes! Some days! Others, I'm in the groove. I do Zumba on my PS3 four days a week and love it. I'm thinking about trying the DVD though. The game has tutorials and different dances but it sounds like I'm missing out on a ton of different routines!

That's pretty much an elliptical machine isn't it?

I use Zumba on my PS3 and LOVE it!! You have to have the camera and Playstation Move control to wear in the belt for the game to monitor your movements. I love the fact that I can dance like a fool at home instead of at the gym :smile: I've had it for two weeks and I'm already doing the intermediate workouts. You catch on…

Before I joined MFP and got serious about losing weight I drank 6 to 12 cans of Mtn. Dew a day and never drank water from the time I was 13 years old. I'm 36 now. I can't imagine the damage I've done to my teeth, stomach and kidneys. I know I was dehydrated all the time. Now I'm drinking one can of Mtn. Dew every couple of…

Welcome Lucy! One thing about MFP is the support is never ending! Feel free to add me as a friend :smile:

I have two girls, 18 and 12 years old. My fiancee has two adopted sons,13 and 11. My 18 year old is already on her own so we just have the three at home. Good grief at the hormones... and the 11 year old thinks he's El Destrustor. I'm still getting used to boys!

Vitamin B6 is good for hair loss, btw.

Centrum for Women (sp). It also has the vitamins in it for healthy hair and nails.

I joined around the 7th and I've lost 9 lbs. It all depends on the person. I'm working out an hour a day six days a week and eating back the calories I burn. I don't expect the weight to drop like it did at first but I'm sticking with it :smile:

I haven't even posted on Facebook that I'm losing weight because I know that I'll hear "You don't need to lose any weight!" I'm 5'6" and was 165 lbs when I started MFP. I want to get back to my normal 140 where I'm most comfortable. I felt huge at 165 and was technically in the overweight range. From now on, I'm not going…

Nice eyes :)

Great quote! I can't speak for everyone, but I know that the encouragement and support my friends give me makes all the difference in the world. I haven't been on MFP long, but there hasn't been one day yet that I have felt like slacking.

I'm in :)

Maree. I love it even though I have to correct the original "ie" spelling most of the time when someone asks my middle name. It was my Grandmother's name :)
