I am, slowly, loosing weight. I know this. But it just seems so SLOOOW in comparison to how much I push out lol. and YES, I need to stay off my scale! You're so right. So much easier to say than do lol.

is it an app also or just on the website? going to go check it out now! thank you. And yes, I have a fitbit :) and I LOVE it! Showed me so much that I had no idea about how much I actually did in a day!

I bet they are with all that! I'm impressed!

thank you! I'll be looking into some of these :) I have noticed that search function has been down for a while, which is why I started looking on FB also.

Please don't take offence that I didn't read past your grammar correct. I'm sorry you took offence to that, but I wasn't looking for grammar correction. Honestly, I try and avoid any form of negativity, bashing, or shaming in my life. It was a lesson I had to teach myself that I DO have control with what I allow in my…

Thanks, now I want nutella. lol

I'm rubbish at taking measurements. I've tried often but I can't seem to be consistant :/ I'll get 5 different measurements back to back lol I'll have to just pay more attention to my clothes and how they fit. Maybe look at month per month instead of week per week. Some days I get so obsessive I weigh myself daily. not…

Great job Ruth! I'm hoping to start running in the fall when it gets cooler again. Will be trying the C25K. Did you use an app for running? I just one foot infront of the other? and you're right. I guess I got obsessed with a number. 2lbs. I was figuring that wasn't much to ask of myself if these other awesome weight loss…

This is what I was under the assumptions of also. Often I see them dropping that much weight weekly. I think I need to drop these groups :(, that or learn to settle the muck down and not be so competitive.

I can be a jerk sometimes lol. I know I will get 100% encouragement without the shaming, so I don't worry too much about it. MFP has SOOO many amazing peeps on it that I don't feel I'm missing out if I refuse any negativity. :)

Yes, i've calculated a bunch of times and to get a 500 cal deficit I need to eat around 1200-1300 cals a day. I'm very short :/ I check my weight trend on here. It is usually down with some spikes up :/ I hate those lol. I had no idea 2 lbs was for more than 25 lbs I have about 20 now to get down to my goal. I used to be…

You are so right. I have to stop comparing. I find these groups make it hard not to. Often there are " weight loss winners" for that week. I never win those no matter how hard I try, and dang I do! lol I guess that 2 lbs number sticks with me.. it's the max you are suppose to be able to lose a week so I aim for that and I…

the one that had to correct my grammar. .I didn't even read beyond you correct me. I didn't ask for an English lesson, I asked for advice on weight loss. I'm French and I think I do darn well in English to be well enough understood, thank you. Sorry, but that was asinine of you. Just because you CAN correct someone and…

One question at a time. Will it show on the scale tomorrow? I would say YES! but do not fear! you didn't "gain" weight" overnight. it's all in your gut and you will poop most of it out soon. will it affect my weight loss? Not really no. Weight loss doesn't happen in a week. Real life like BBQ happens. Some weeks more than…

Michaela, I should have added that I'm 4 feet 10.5 inches tall and about 125 lbs. I'm NEVER hungry. If I feel hunger, I eat. I used to eat lots of chips and coke and chocolate! and I didn't work out. It's an easy recipe to gaining weight :/ I don't measure, no. I find I can measure myself 5 times back to back and I get…

Tuna mix on Cucumbers for lunch! get some tuna, some mayo with some paprika and other spices you might like and put on cucumber slices! I also add some almonds on the side and a baby bell cheese! It's prob. my fav. EASY lunch Breakfast I always have greek yogurt. Usually iogo fruit on the bottom. I like it. I will also…

Work out videos and dancing before kids got up and after kids went to bed. That's what I did prior to getting a gym membership near my work. Now I work out during my lunch hour. If there are no gyms, start the c5k ( free app you can dl ) and start jogging on your lunch hour. We go to the park a lot during the summer and I…

Yes, yes, and yes! Anything and everything geek's UR us .. MFP isn't lacking!

I love cut up cucumbers with a topping of tuna, paprika and chili mixture on top. hooked!

Julienne salad with no dressing, a banana and a greek yogurt. YUM! :)

The best plan is count your calories and work out. That is how you loose weight. keep your calorie intake where it should be and work out to create your deficit. Get proteins in to help your muscles get the nutrients it needs and eat lots of fruits and veggies because they have lots of vits and lower in cals so you can eat…

I'd have to agree. What you eat has so much to do with the ease of weight loss. If you just eat bad calories, you will find it harder because your body will be looking for more. Bring up your protein intake and keep at it. If you can't stop yourself, keep it out of the house. I can't not eat chips no matter how much I know…

EVERYTHING gets logged for me, even water. I'm not just adding up calories but nutritional content. When you are loosing weight, toning up, getting fit, it is important to know how much protein, sugars etc. you are dumping into your body. Even the amount of water you drink will affect your performance. I've learned so much…

I did this last night :) it has helped a lot! I didn't HATE it as much. I still found it hard and it was rough but I didn't get off saying I was never doing that again lol Thank you for the advice! :wink:

added you :)

did day 2 week 1 yesterday.. tomorrow is day 3 week 1. It's HARD! but I'm keeping up. I slowed my pace just a bit. IT was more comfortable and I wasn't in tears in pain that night. That was a big plus! I had to take a few days off because I over did it going 6.4 running! It should really come with a warning on around how…

it's insanely hard! omg!! lol I'm really struggling

I can't hold a conversation walking at 3.4 lol thanks everyone.. this actually helped A LOT! as I thought I wasn't even going fast ENOUGH...

THANK YOU! I had asked in another post about groups on here for c5K.. but didn't get much of a response. I will be doing day 2 of week 1 today.. not looking forward to it.. painful! lol

guess not many out there lol
