Thank you for sharing your journey, your words really resonated within me. As you say we are responsible for our own happiness.I must remember that daily!

If you've been prescribed iron, it could be iron deficiency anemia. This will definitely make you feel tired.if you've switched up your diet a bit, like reduced carbs initially you'll feel tired. It depndeds on how Kong you've been feeling like this. Do you rely on caffeine it can cause you to crash later and feelvo…

Fweel free to add me please I'm also looking for support. I have around 40 pounds to lose too.

Hi melonomo 66 your story sounds very similar to mine! I lost around 40 pounds(22kg) within 8 months . I gained it all back in a space of two years without even realizing till it was too late. So it's hard finding the motivation again, but i will do my best. Would love to have you as a friend to motviate each other…

There are many websites which can help you calculate it and then even help you with deciding on workout routines necessary to reach your ideal % Good luck! Pin up…

Hi guys! Please feel free to add me! I lost some weight but hit a slump two months back, so I joined this group hoping we could motivate each other! It took around one month for me to start to feel the weight loss, but consistency really does matter! Eventually I started noticing subtle differences like clothes, getting…

Every morning wake up ten minutes early to do ten mins of high intensity interval training or 30sec running 60 sec walking around the house or just outside your house, it will give you a lot of energy during the day and hopefully a calorie burn of around 200 cal.. you can look up HIIT but its basically cardio with…

http://www.nytimes.com/2012/07/01/opinion/sunday/what-really-makes-us-fat.html?_r=0 This article by the NY Times is a pretty good read on this topic.

For anyone who is really interested in knowing the truth about calories not leading to the same result I suggest checking this website out. To get into the digits, would suggest prior knowledge of how lipids, proteins and fats are metabolized and stored by the body. http://www.jissn.com/content/1/2/21 It contains the…

I agree with the OP It's about how your body utilizes a calorie of fat, protein or carbohydrate that makes the difference in nutrition and weight loss. Fats spend very little energy to be metabolized and stored as compared with carbs and proteins. Check this website out :…

Thank you that would be the perfect revenge!:flowerforyou:

I'm getting near to my first weight loss goal and people I know say, stop you look too thin, you look sick, any more and you won't look good at all.... me being someone that feeds on negativity i stalled at the same weight for around three months since those lovely comments. what bugs me the most is before i am sure these…

If you haven't been eating well recently it could be due to nutrition, but since it's in the last two months unless you are under BMI it's probably unlikely to be that. Sometimes diets cause hormones to go crazy on us but you would have noticed it early on. It's a good idea to get it checked by a doctor, just the same.…

Best of luck! So tomorrow you'll be 6 miles nearer to your goals, way to go flowerforyou:

Congratulations, you've come a long way and look even more fabulous!:smile:

Best of luck to you wish you a great experience on MFP, if you need friends you can add me :)

Only if you enter it under cardio exercises!:wink:

Thank you for your post, the beginning of your story sounds just like mine and now you give me hope! I have lost weight but the belly is still my curved buddy lol, I have to try out swimming too. Good luck with the rest of your progress, thank you for inspiring me to keep going!:flowerforyou:

Hi there, I'm not a runner but I started working out after many years and began to feel similar ankle aches and they started to swell up a bit. I think it was due to suddenly doing high impact exercises. So I've started wearing ankle support during workouts, and it really help. In my case, it was probably the added weight!…

PS I think this topic would have more correspondents in the Motivation and Support section :smile:

Yes it happens to me all the time even after losing a little weight. So I've come to realize this is not just a weight issue, this is a self esteem issue that has allowed me to hide behind my weight for years. So everyday I try to give myself a little exercise or challenge and see if I can manage. Like when a compliment is…

Congratulations all your hard work has been worth it! You look healthy and fit, thanks for being such an inspiration!

Congrats on all your hard work which has paid off you look awesome!

Ok, this is a suggestion, but your meals are calorie rich esp in proteins, but at the same time appear to be quite lean! I mean when you plate it up it might not look like you'll be full after eating it. Satisfying our brain makes a big difference too. So you could try mix it up a little with some steamed veggies, which…

Great oath, I like it! Here's a suggestion it's a quote ' Never, never, never, never give up.' Winston Churchill Another favourite of mine : Marvin Phillips 'The difference between try and triumph is just a little umph'!
