Height: 5'4" Starting weight was 270 on 2/1/12 Current weight is 147 as of 1/15/13 Personal goal weight is 140 right now and after I reach that goal would like to get to 130 and then maintain.

Thanks everyone! I looked up my notes I had jotted down at my last nut apt in November 2012 and it did say if I did 45 to 60 minutes of exercise a day to eat 1200 cals a day. That might be why I have been kinda feeling hungry since I have been uping my exercise to 1 hour a day the last couple weeks. I did loose 2.20 pounds…

2/14/13 goal 135 1/3/13 weighed in at 149.7. 1/10/13 weighed in at 147.50 loss of 2.20 pounds I had to stop running/jogging in place for 20 minutes twice a day cause my bad knees started hurting again earlier this week so I have been walking 2 miles in 30 minutes to my walk at home dvd at 5:30am and then walking another 2…

In Feb 2012 I started out at 270 at 5'4". I have bad knees so I just started doing the Leslie Sansone Walk at Home dvds. 1 mile in 15 minutes and 2 miles in 30 minutes. You might try that or just walking outside before or after work or on your lunch hour. I love Just Dance also and have fun with it too. Pick something you…

Congrats! You have done great. We have about the same stats. I started at 270 on 2/1/12 and am now 149! I'm 5'4" so I want to be at 130-140 eventually. Keep up the great work!

I have done WW many many times. Loose the weight and gain it back..... I really like MFP it is free, it tracks all the nutrients which I love. I realized when I started MFP I wasn't getting enough protein grams a day in. I like that you can track everything on MFP, calories, exercise, water, vitamins and so on. You can…

I will add you as a friend. I had sleeve surgery 6/11/12 so I am almost 7 months out. I started pre op at 270 and lost 47 before surgery and have lost 74 pounds since surgery, right now I am at 149. I am 5'4" and would like to be between 130-140. My surgeon didn't give me a weight goal. I asked at my last appt, the 6…

I'm in! Currently weighing in at 149.7. I would like to be at 135 by 2/14/13 which means I need to loose 14.7 pounds total. I would like to up my exercise to include more running. I am currently running in place at home for 20-30 minutes a day and would like to continue that and once my gym opens on 1/17/13 start running…

That sounds good or a Valentines Day challenge? What do you all think?

I don't understand why some people on here have to be so rude and bash a post. Any exercise is better than none right?!?! I am sorry you got some comments that weren't helpful. I posted yesterday a question about running and wished I had never posted it after some of the comments I got. Why can't people be supportive of…

I started out with one of her older 1 and 2 mile walks and was doing that one for a couple years. I bought a newer dvd of hers that is one mile -5 miles walk and it is more intense I think. I do like her walking dvds and had been doing them all this past year 2 miles in 30 minutes twice a day. I recently have started doing…

Thanks for posting this. I have been looking at Sports Bras recently. I bought a couple Champion ones at Burlinton Coat Factory and while trying them on the fitting run I was running in place seeing if they kept everything in place. When I got home I noticed the were for medium activity but then it said yoga, walking so…

When I started MFP on 2/1/12 I weighed 270 I lost 47 pounds before sleeve surgery between 2/1/12 and 6/11/12. I weighed 223 day of surgery on 6/11/12. I currently weigh 149 as of yesterday 1/2/13. I would like to get to 130-140 for my height of 5'4". I still need to loose 9-19 pounds. I do exercise. I have been walking 2-4…

I thought it was over estimating miles ran when it said I ran 2.25 miles this morning in 10 minutes on the Wii! I don't usually eat my calories burned off here anyways but I would like an acurate amount of calories burned to report. I guess it would be closer to maybe 60 calories burned for running to the Wii free run for…

Thanks for the tips. I figured running in place vs. running on a treadmill or outside will be tougher for me. I experience that when I went from walking at home with a dvd to walking outside. Used different muscles I hadn't used when walking at home in place! I might try to brave it outside tonight after work and run some…

Thanks. I figured running outside is much different than in place at home or on a treadmill. I know walking in place at home is from walking outside. I do have a good pair of New Balance shoes that are still good and I have custom made orthotics in them too. Although after loosing 120 pounds the orthotics might not be…

Planet Fitness is just opening up one gym in my town. I went ahead and joined it back in Dec and was told that the $29 annual membership fee isn't charged till Oct 1 of 2013 and if I quit before that they wouldn't charge that fee but if I was still an active membership on 10/1/13 they would charge me the fee of $29 so if…

I have Just Dance 3 and it gets me sweating and my heart beat up according to my fitness watch. I also have a Jillian Micheals one that really works you too.

I just bought it off Amazon.com Monday and it is supposed to be delivered today. I do alot of dvd exercising and starting to go to Planet Fitness in Jan. 2013 but always wanted the wii fit plus too. I think it can help but as with most things it is what you put into it that gives you results. I think it is a good starting…

Wow! What a episode last night. Sad we have to wait till Fall 2013 now for more Dexter. Guess I will need to get my Dexter fix with watching all 6 dvd sets I have of previous seasons till then.

Thanks for posting this link. Very powerful article.

I have trained my westies in obedience, rally, agility and earthdog. Please tell us what your question is. I have terriers so I know their quirks.

Lots of terriers have a whispy beard. Anymore of a description you can give me? You can look on the AKC website and see pics of dogs from the terrier group here that might help you. http://www.akc.org/breeds/terrier_group.cfm I have westies.

My physical therapist just showed this to me yesterday and I am gonna start to try to do them. She said to start out only holding them for up to 30 seconds if you can and then work up to 3 minutes. Good for upper arm strength is why she mentioned them to me.

Some people will put some of their protein shake powder in their coffee.

I was thinking this season was the last one! I am glad to read there will be another season in 2013!

I take 5000 of biotin every morning with my Celebrate Multi vitamin. I don't really know if the biotin helps with hair loss or not since I have been taking it 3 months pre op and am 6 months post op so for a total of 9 months I have been taking it. I have come to the conclusion that nothing really will help with the hair…
