Fantastic. Thank you for sharing.

I looked bad at 127, so I went back to the 135 range

freeze it :)

Remember, you are doing this for YOU. Calculate your calories as close as you can, drink lots of water and exercise. You can't worry so much about support. You have to be your support. MFP can help to be your support. Don't expect the people in your life to line up with your goals. It is too much to expect from them.…

Yes, you will go down and it will freak you out. No matter what you say, we love our boobs, and when they get smaller it is a shocker.

I bought a vintage air popper from a rummage sale for $3. It was the best $3 I've ever spent.

Even at a 1% incline, you will burn noticeably more calories.

I weigh myself that week, but if I don't like the number I don't log it. :wink:

There should be a law against "Food Porn."

My Grandpa used to buy this really cheep dog food for his dog. When I was a kid, my cousins and I would eat it because it tasted like stale corn bread. We got yelled at. "You guys stop eating the dog's food!!"

EVERYBODY feels like this.:smile:

10-12 pounds in 8 weeks is healthy weight loss so don't despair. The closer you get to your goal, the slower it seems but you can do it. I would continue logging. It works.

Google "seated exercises" and see what you can put together for a workout that works for you. Best wishes for your recovery.

The only reason I exercise is so I CAN eat. (ok, that's not the only reason.)

Make sure you poop, trim and clean out from under your fingernails, get the toe jam out between your toes and remove any lint from your belly button. Then, and only then, step on the scale. LOL.

Human.

Hang in there.

I usually have a glass of wine at that point.

Seems unrealistic, but good luck.

I am very happy for you. Congratulations!

What she said.

I lie to myself. I lie like a dog. I tell myself that I'm just going to walk and then I go running. It's true. I can't trust me as far as I can throw me.

Tortilla soup is fairly low in calories, I think. The Mexican salad is ok if you do the following. DO NOT eat the fried shell. Use salsa instead of salad dressing. Maybe ask for grilled chicken on the salad if you can.

Never hurts to log conservatively. If the 5 pound loss sticks, then log it. No harm no foul.

I got really lucky. The village we live in subsidizes everyones gym memberships if they want to join the local club. For me, a family membership is cheaper then the YMCA was when I used to belong there and even this time of year, while annoying, isn't insurmountable and meatheads don't seem to go there. Although I usually…

You probably burn more calories buying, cutting, plating and eating the ice burg lettuce then is there. It's just too bad butter isn't on the list. Now that would be welcome news.

OOh, baby. That's a nice 6 pack.

Your body is adjusting, just keep doing what you know you need to do and don't give up. You may try a less intense workout for a couple of days.

This is a no fun time of year at the gym, I agree. In 6 weeks it will be back to normal or better anyway. Yesterday I was telling my daughter that I could point to the people who would still be coming to the gym in March because they were the ones coming in November and December. To all you happy new people reading this.…
