Hi. I’m 42 trying to lose about 45 lbs that I’ve lost before. One would think I’d get wiser with age and quit gaining it back. Ran into a bunch of medical issues and it just keeps creeping on, but I’m done, I’d love accountability friends. Feel free to add me.,

I'm back too, after some medical stuff. I'm wishing you well and all the success in the world!

WOW, it was like reading my own story! Except you are 6 months ahead of me! I am so happy for you! Hard work does pay off! I am currently where you were in February and hope to be at 155 by January.

There are a number of us from WI! I am in the La Crosse area.

I burned 1000 one time, but it was about an hour and a half. My HRM usually has me at about 650 after an hour of running and yoga. I think a lot is overestimating, but at the same time my DH burns about 850 in the same hour I work out.

This...I love blackberries and a tsp of honey in my Fage.

Lower than 1200? I think not!

I was there! As recent as last week. I was eating according to MFP and had lost 20 lbs no problem, then a 6 week plateau. After a ton of reading, tears and frustration I looked at the group Eat More to Weigh Less. I upped my calories from 1300 to 1700 and in the first week (this week) I lost 2.2 lbs. FINALLY!!! give it a…

naked and in the morning, every Wednesday.

DNF is 100 times better than DNS (did not start), if you try you win!

"I hope she doesn't catch me staring at her." (not in a creepy way but in a I SO want to be able to do that way)

"I hope she doesn't catch me staring at her." (not in a creepy way but in a I SO want to be able to do that way)

That is awesome. My husband and I have been at this together for a few months and have lost a combined 37, we are so hoping to get to where you guys are! Congratulations and keep up the awesome work!

A teaspoon of honey and 5 blackberries.

MFP is giving far too few calories. This site is great at helping figure out that golden number http://scoobysworkshop.com/calorie-calculator/ I took the liberty of doing it for you and found that you should be eating roughly 2900 per day to lose about 1.5 a week.

3!

First of all 70 lbs is amazing!!! Congratulations and your husband is right you look GREAT!!! I hate the BMI scale, HATE IT! I wish that there was something I could say that would make you feel better, but I know that just isn't possible. What I can do it put it into a little perspective for you, when you were 218 I would…

@em9371, my diary is pretty ugly the last week and a half, we were on vacation at a water park. Not many veggies to be found :-) The fat thing is tough for me, I know that I am always over, but it's also not like the fat is coming from chips and cookies (besides today). As for what my weight loss goal is set at it was 1.4…

I bumped it up to 1750 this morning.

I am in the same spot. I was eating 1350 and have been stick for the last 6 weeks. I increased my calories to 1750 and now I will wait to see what happens. You may want to try this calculator http://scoobysworkshop.com/calorie-calculator/ I found it to be the best thus far. I guess I just would say, stick with it. Have you…

You showed restraint, I would have had my daughter hold my unsweetened iced tea to throttle her! :-)

I take everything everyone says with a grain of salt. My eating habits are just that...MINE.

10 minute mile is 6 mph, 12 minute mile is 5 mph and 15 minute mile is 4 mph.

I finished it a month ago and ran my first official race last weekend. When I started I was 217, and it was tough...the biggest thing is do not give up!! My husband was about 290 when he did it (now at 240)and is running 5K in well under 30 minutes. The middle weeks are the hardest, but I swear by my children, if I can do…

I did my first this weekend, too!!! Congratulations!

My husband and I love the FT7.

WOW!!! How did you do it so quickly? Amazing job!!!

I love my polar!! We have the FT7 and it is great. About $80 each, but very worth it IMO.

Finished it a week and a half ago. It was tough but SO rewarding at the end. Doing my first race in just under 2 weeks, and trust me...if I can run ANYONE can!!!

Check out the Fantasie and Freya brands, as well as Panache. I love them and they are for us well endowed :-)
