Hi all, I live in New Holland its 10 miles east of Lancaster. Ha Ha Jon and Kate do live pretty close by.

Just curious, looking for people who wan't to support and encourage each other along the way!

Great job! Halfway feels alot better than it does at the starting line :smile: Thanks for the inspiration.

WOW, these sound good. I'm going to make them this weekend!

Could someone explain to me how and why if you lose weight to fast you lose muscle? Can't you rebuild that loss rather quickly if your continuing to workout?

Thanks everyone for your help and opinions. I realize that I could up my caloric intake a little and I'm well aware of the fact that its going to get harder and harder to lose the weight after you reach a certain point. I'm 175 now and i'm ready for the challenge. I have no medical conditions and i'm 34. So with the…

I would think that being overweight would be more dangerous than exercising 5x a week and eating less. I don't know...what did he/she tell you to up your calories to? To up my calories to at least 1500 and again exercise 3x a week

I went to see my doctor today and I was very siked to get on the scale. I was so happy when it read 175 but my happiness was short lived because I got chewed out ! I lost 22lbs in about 7 weeks and I explained to my doctor that I have been counting calories 1200 day plus I walk on the treadmill everyday and I have been…

I :heart: avocados. Does anyone have yummy ideas to share on what you like to eat them with or in ?

First off congrats on 8 lbs LOST !!! I look forward to having my legs slim and toned so after the past 6 years I can feel comfortable wearing shorts again. And I really don't ever wan't to see another picture of me with a double chin:wink:

Hi, I'm ready to do this! I have been wanting to join a challenge. My goal is 5lbs.

Thank you for your help.I'm learning more and more:smile:

My calorie goal is 1200 but I do not ever miss a day of exercise and I burn 380 cals a day. I'm having the results I wanted but again I'm just 3 weeks in. I'm not sure if I should just eat to reach my 1200 cal goal when I feel good. Also I pretty much eat at the same time each day for my meals because my body is telling me…

Whats more important ? To only eat when your hungry and eat sensible or eat your daily calories? I feel like i'm satisfied every day, but i'm always about 400 to 500 calories short. This is working for me so far. I have lost 13 lbs in the 3 weeks that i have been using MFP.

I know your supposed to stay close to your caloric intake but how many of you eat your daily fat allowance? Are we supposed to be consuming this amt or like me do you just focus on the calories and eat as little fat as possible? How much fat cals are OK ???

Someday i hope to find mine again:tongue:

Thank you, Does anyone else have any suggestions?

Was wondering if anyone knows of a fat free,good tasting bleu cheese salad dressing? I have been staying away from salads because thats the only dressing i really like:frown:

Hi and welcome to MFP. This is only my 2nd week in and I have learned alot so far. I seen your profile we are bout the same age and from the same state. I could use a buddy for more support:flowerforyou: The first week is the hardest, it gets easier believe me. Wait to you start seeing the lbs drop off!
