Now that you've lost the weight and are feeling better, to keep your metabolism from slowing and to either continue to lose weight or maintain, remember that it's not so much HOW MUCH you eat as WHAT you eat. A regular exercise program and diet full of fruits, vegetables, whole grains and lean meats are a wonderful way to…

WOW! You are definately an inspiration! Nicely done. You were beautiful to begin with, but it's amazing how when we feel better about ourselves, we are even more beautiful. BRAVO!!!

My weakness is eating when I'm tired. I have learned to allow myself ONE of my favorite chocolates a day. Dove is my favorite and I savor it. Completely. The other snack I keep on hand is popcorn. I can eat all I want (home popped, not movie theater butter) when I have the munchies. No limit. I've never gone over on…

Oh, YEAH! I'm so IN! BRING IT ON!!!

I'm a firm believer in not cutting out foods you love completely since it is a recipe for failure. I think altering recipes so that you can eat and enjoy them is a smart idea. Go for it! Also, try the hungry girl website as well. It was created by a woman that remakes things to fit in the weight watchers diet. There are…

I loved weight watchers when I did it and was able to reach my goal. I was on maitanance when I got pregnant and had to take a break from it. When I went back, I lost most of the weight, but wasn't as successful, so I decided I needed to find something that didn't cost me anything, but could keep me motivated and excited…

I'm in for 50! Thanks for the challenge, I start tomorrow with my 3mile run. WOO HOOO!!!

I would love to have you in my support group! I love mfp and am excited to meet you and together reach our goals!! I hope you will add me ;)

ABSOULUTELY!! Who doesn't feel that way from time to time, especially when you've been doing it for awhile. If you haven't in awhile, switch up your workout and find some new fun healthy foods. We all get discouraged from time to time, or tired of what we are doing. But you are doing this for YOU and you ARE WORTH IT!!! I…

I feel that way from time to time, and I wonder who doesn't?! Rest assured, you're not alone. That is one of the things I love most about MFP! Such great support and encouragement. If you aren't getting that, I hope you will add me as a friend so that we can support one another! One question I have is if it's "you're time…

I already replied to you and submitted a friend request, but I wanted to let you know that recently I got together with my running partner and asked her to get on board with me to go without refined sugar for two weeks. I do this periodically when I know I have been consuming too many "fun foods" and need to cut the habit.…

I think you have so many great suggestions including websites that I myself am going to explore! I have to tell you of a few things I have really loved that have helped me continue to look forward and enjoy healthy foods in a very tasty way. First of all, spray butter. If you've never tried it, it's a must! My family now…

How inpiring!! I have recently gone through a difficult drag and am finally back into it after gaining back all that I lost. I grabbed a partner though and am on my way!! Thank you for your success story. I have exactly 20lbs to lose and feel inpired by you. Congratulations on your way to maintaining a healthy lifestyle!!!
-
Oh sweetie! I know it's hard!! But my goodness look how far you've come!!! I am so impressed! Don't give up now and lose all that you've earned, cause I promise you that you will. I have recently been there. Try having a "splurge day". I have found this to be a great way to keep on track. If I don't allow myself one day…

Love this answer! AWESOME SUGGESTIONS!! ;)

Count me in! start: 159 goal: 149

I've understood that it is not actually true that muscle weighs more than fat. In reality, they weigh the same, but muscle is more condensed and refined. I think we like to believe that muscle weighs more so that when we are working out and the scale doesn't register a loss, we won't be discouraged. Concentrate more on…

where do you get that?!

My brother who is a fitness professional says that if you can't drink the protien shake with water, it isn't good quality. I have found this to be rather true. Just a thought ;)

Are you saying that you ARE losing 1 to 2 lbs. a week? Because if so, you are doing FABULOUS and right on track!! I know it seems like very little at first and gets frustrating, but the what the scale says is not near as important as the inches you lose. Keep focused on that. The slower you lose those lbs, the longer and…

When I read the post from evita6983, I seriously could have copied and pasted it and used it for my own, right down to the number on the scale! I am in the same boat. Although, I had my 7th child going on two this year and am stuck. I know that with a little more motivation and encouragement teaming up with someone else, I…
