you look awesome very inspiring!

what a difference! great job keep it up!

you'll be totally ok. first dont weigh yourself tomorrow because the number might be higher temporarily and that might be discouraging. Best thing to do is not let the guilt of today mess up your tomorrow. just wake up and begin again. oh and enjoy being wonderfully full! ;)

i used to have a personal trainer and he always said for weight loss and muscle building you want high protein. ex: 60 percent protein 30 carbs 10 fat....more protein is deffinatly better then not enough in my opinion but ultimatly the decission is up to you...

I've used tons of different cardio machines and no matter how hard I work they consistently are A LOT lower on their calorie burned results then MFP is. Regardless of the accuracy I deffinatly dont think you need to eat every last calorie you've burned as that seems rather redundant. A better bet is to make sure your net…

we have similar goals for sure ill be your friend lol

hey I've never written on the message boards but i think we can totally relate. I'm 21 and a college student in NJ. I was fat my whole life obese most of it. I'm 5'7 & 1/2 my high weight was 231 and my low weight was 169. I only got to 169 through bulimia which I am free of now and I've been using MFP to try and do things…
