I lost 20lbs on MFP last year. But since, have gained back 30. I want to lose, but have such little motivation. Count me in - as maybe this is the push I need !!!

completed in 3 sets of 50 - don't feel a thing....should i? except kind of a sore back. maybe i am doing them wrong?

i'll give it a try!! Got nothing to lose, or reason not to try it.

I'd be happy with EITHER time - good for you !!! I ran a 5km race a few years ago before a sprained ankle injury, and although I had my best time ever (37mins), I was just so proud of myself for FINISHING the race!!!

recommendations that came to me at the beginning - a straw and Crystal light singles. Both help, but I am still not at the water drinkng level I'd like to be at. Good luck !

HAHA! my menu was almost identical for dinner !! Never even thought to dream up a breakfast or lunch ! BREAKFAST - crepes stuffed with blueberries and whpped cream, bacon, toast LUNCH - Baconator from Wendys, fries from McDonalds, and gravy from Harveys with a Cinnabon for dessert!

look how fast this BLOG has filled up!!! it's amazing how we love to dream. seems a shame for those that don't love to dream with us!

AAAAGGGHHHH!!!! you guys are KILLING me!!! As it is, I only have 31 calories left for the day, and haven't even eaten dinner yet!!! not to mention it's Friday, and boy.....would I ever love a drink - beer, martini, cooler, whatever !! So, for dinner, I request steak (with grilled garlic mushrooms) and lobster (with melted…

me too!

me too - one even lives in my house, but heaven forbid she move from a size 0/1 to a 2/3 !!! give me a break !! then on the opposite end, her sister is big, and refuses to think she should lose weight - wat 'til she has kids !!

bump

your kids are still very young ! don't be hard on yourself. My youngest is 10, and I still carry the baby fat. Or maybe it's just my age (over 40 now)? As long as you feel good/healthy and eat well, don't worry about it so much. The kids are not an excuse, they are your reward !

I agree !!!

wow - you look amazing !!!! I am so jealous, and hope one day to look as HOT as you do !!! Although I am a bit older (43), and the boy just does different things at ths age, LOL.

wow - what an amazing story!!! good for you for getting this far !! you must feel like a totally different person. you definitely should be proud of yourself. so many people (including me) give up when something seems difficult, or requires a lot of dedication. but it sounds like you've worked through that part - good for…

hey it happens!! there are so many things in life that affect reasons for "falling off the wagon". For example, today I am having a Baileys, been a very stressful day. Just knowing it was wrong, and that you want to get back on track is a step in the right direction !!! Good luck, and keep trying !

great job!! looking good!! makes me wish i had taken "before" pictures! but still motivates me to keep on trying to lose. thanks

You look FANTASTIC !!! Great job !! Keep it up if you are looking to lose more, but I t hink you look great (healthy) the way you are now ! Sure does motivate me!

MFP worked, just slower. I am glad I changed it up for the week, gives me variety and motivation. I have learned through both experiences to moderate how much I eat (used to snack on bad calories constantly), and learn about a helathier lifestyle along the way. Both work, and they are still slow, steady losses, just wanted…

In response to the negative commenters - the word is not TROLL - I think PRIVATE might better describe me. I'm not in to you knowing everything about me! It is a more specific meal plan (free, not a book, not a membership paid for), that you follow for one week. Not only did it make a difference weight wise, but…

just go and enjoy yourself, if you rarely see her. If this is a frequent invite, just take a rain check. Neither way should cause stress.

I am completely on the same page !! started at 170 with MFP at the beginning of Jan in hopes to lose 20 by mid-March for a vacation. While I appreciate what it's taught me - healthier eating, more moderate eating, exercise - I am bummed at only having lost 5 little pounds. Ya, ya, better than none, but NO WHERE NEAR what I…

:O oh no!! I am 5'7" and started MFP at 170. I have faithfully put in my food and exercise for 1 month now, but have depressingly only lost 4lbs. I was hoing to lose 20 by mid-March for a trip to go on. Instead, I am looking at this thread thinking even if I do get to my goal, I'll probably still look fat, because everyone…

i didn't read through every single comment, is the nutrional value somewhere? can only assume as yummy as this sounds, I'd only be allowed to eat one at a meal. :-(

i would really, REALLY love a cowboy steak, baked potato and some kind of veggie. I think a HuGE workout would be required to maintain my calorie goal though !!!

wow! you sure did do it!! makes me believe that my desired weight IS achievable! and i only want to lose 15lbs!

regarding sodium.......what is the ideal daily consumption? or where can i find this based on my height/weight/goals?

me either !!! i have read so many messages about it, people say to eat back your calories you earned with exercise, but doesn't that kind of defeat the purpose of exercising??? I am getting a bit discouraged with my lack of loss, that's for sure !

Wit a second.......how does one comsume 900 at one sitting, and still maintain their calorie goal for the day??? unless you ate NOTHING else for the entire day, or have a way high allowance!

ya, gotta quit it altogether, otherwise not much point in watching wht you eat. And remember, you ARE what you eat!
