CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!! (I agree with all of the above.)

Congratulations!!

This. I lost 55lbs. My gym changed their hours and I stopped exercising. Gained back 40 before I jumped back on the wagon.

I take several vitamins daily with my breakfast, and sometimes feel a temporary bloat, particularly if I had excess carbs at dinner. I take a multivitamin, fish oil, calcium and extra vitamin C.

Here's a study that's more recent, but not translated out of the researchers' lingo. A quick google search will yield a lot of results. Basically, if you want to lose weight while preserving lean muscle, eat a higher protein/dairy diet. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3159052/

Mine is open to all my friends. I love their support, feedback and accountability. I check out theirs too for food ideas, and help give suggestions where I can.

KPnuts - luv you! I'm 41 :)

a tummy tuck :) After 3 kids (2 c-sections), toxemia (went from 128 to 212 with 1st child), and a2" hole in my abs, my stomach looks like a road map of the world AFTER nuclear war!

radiva - 34?

I crave water all day long. Exercise does that. Once you start drinking it, your body starts to tell you how much you need it, not sweetened, caffeinated, fizzy drinks.

"Leave the gun. Take the cannoli." "you can't expect him to live forever with his sister forever and the nipple twisting that goes on there!"

Bump! Gotta make this over the weekend! Thanks!

When I can't get to the gym, I do EA Active workouts on my Wii. They whoop my butt!

bump!

LMFAO! Whoever started the Duck Face certainly should have been shot!!!!

at least 2-3lbs. I've learned not to go near the scale from about 3 days before until Aunt Flo goes away!

I hate lunges. I do them ... even jumping lunges ... but I hate them all!

I eat 1500 every day, whether I exercise or not. I'm losing a steady 1.5lbs a week.

I don't eat my exercise calories back. MFP set me at 1200 calories. I bumped it to 1500, then reduced my carbs (I think to 35%), upped my protein (again, I think 55%). I'm doing cardio/weight training 4-5 days a week, and losing 1.5lbs a week.

Love it! You're an inspiration to everyone!!!! :)

I've got a very large diastasis (abs shredded apart during pregnancy) and I've had 2 c-sections. My stretch marks go all the way up to my boobs. My stomach will never be flat without surgery, both having my abs corsetted back together and the pouch removed. Looked at having a tummy tuck years ago but couldn't afford it…

We've all got them sista! I've got a morbidly obese coworker who decided to do weight watchers at the beginning of the year. I think it's great she's trying to be healthier, but now she rants on and on about how I don't eat enough carbs .... while she eats 2 slices of white bread every day at lunch, 5-6 tangerines for a…

WTG!!!!!! I remember having that realization - it was an awesome feeling :) Congrats!

I'm not into all this, but my son is. He'll be 12 soon, and all he talks about is the baby ray gun he uses to fight zombies on XBox, oh, and something called map packs. He's a math geek and destined for greatness ... without the glasses! Feel free to add me so maybe I can understand him a little better ;)

You can do this. Get rid of the fast food, chocolate mousse and processed flour foods. Add at least 3-4 cups of veggies into your diet and eat regular, consistent meals 5-6 times a day that contain whole grains and lean meats. I can't tell what kind of exercise you are doing, but MFP over-estimates the calories burned.…

welcome! This place is full of support and info. Feel free to add me!

I put a teaspoon of sugar free pudding mix in mine, add ice and blend well. It makes it taste so much better! I've also added a 1/4 cup of black coffee and a 1/4 teaspoon of caramel extract in chocolate flavored whey - makes it taste like a caramel frapp.

Oh yeah!!!!!!! :) Merci beaucoup, thank you, gracias. Makes me think of a post a few weeks ago about the calorie burn in sex .... with a partner or alone! LOL
