Good luck. You'll love it.

Thank you all for such motivational posts! I'm down 6lbs as of Day #9 (today). I cheated yesterday... I had a couple things that weren't "clean" yesterday at a cookout. However, I was wayyyy under my calorie allowance. I went hiking yesterday and burned 1530 calories on the hike alone, according to my HRM. I did well with…

I just want to take a moment to thank everyone for their input. Although I may have not responded individually - I have read through all of the posts. :)

Congrats on your progress. Just FYI: The Peaches and Cream fiber drink is delish. Yep, delish! lol

I haven't bought any "grab and go products" so it's actually helping me with which foods to pair together for maximum results. I'll have a shake for breakfast during the last portion of the challenge, other than that, I'm eating clean foods. Today is that start of Day 3 and I'm doing well. I'm down 2.8lbs as of this…

Thanks so much for the reply. This is the end of my first day. The only downside so far are the pills. I hate taking pills, but had to down 6 before going to bed tonight.

Bump. :)

Why would you want to quit exercising? It's good for you - no matter your goal.

Thank you so much!! That's so sweet. :) There definitely is some muscle under there, I just need to melt away my fat in order to see more of it. lol

Thank you. My FitBit helps determine my actual overall calorie burn for the day and adjusts my intake accordingly throughout the day based on my activity level. Following the guidelines they have set seems to be working. I use MFP more for logging food easily and finding support. :) I greatly appreciate your response.

Thanks for the input and not to be rude, but my post certainly doesn't dictate that my life is ruled by the numbers. I was simply asking why it was the same - it didn't make much sense to me. Yes, I count calories - it works for me. It holds me accountable for what I put into my mouth. Lately, I have lived by my FitBit and…

My ultimate goal is 140lbs. I'm currently 183lbs. My goal is set at 1.5lbs/week. But, I'm still staying away from the 1200kcal mark - that's just too low. :)

Yes, my picture is recent. However, my pictures are very deceiving - I think. I'm 5'4" and 183lbs currently. I'm eating around 1500-1600 calories a day. I was just wondering why MFP had it set for the same amount if the goal was different. Thank you for all of the help. I'm going to take a look at some of the links posted…

Aww, Thanks!! :blushing:

@southern Sweet - or at least your appear to be in your picture, lol. :)

Not to be too mean, but according to this post and the information on your profile, you need to see a Doctor and a Therapist! Seems like you have some major self-esteem issues that are causing you to go to measures that aren't healthy (i.e. fainting). Get some help, girl!

You look like you've never been pregnant! Lucky. haha. :)

Just out of curiousity. Who is more evil, the side chick (that knows she is) OR the person in the committed relationship doing the cheating? I'm not sure why someone should be expected to respect a relationship IF one of the people in the relationship obviously have no respect for it themselves.

Once upon a time, I was a side chick. Mostly because the person was convenient and I didn't want the strings attached. Why not just find someone else to hook up with, rather than someone in a relationship? In this case.. Because we had a great platonic relationship before hand and I knew it wouldn't try to evolve into more…

You took the words right out of my mouth. Although, those booze come pretty far apart these days. I'd rather save up for my fruity strong high calorie irish trashcans and go all out when I do. This happens every couple months. LoL so, no soda or juice or anything other drink that has calories in it for me! cheers! :drinker:

Awesome Job!! You can really tell. You're beautiful. :)

Thanks to everyone for such positive feedback! It truly is motivational! :happy:

I log everything I eat. My goal is 1,200 on MFP, but I keep it between 1200-1350 (without feeling guilty). I get to the gym about 4 times a week and burn a minimum of 400 calories each time. I almost always eat back my exercise calories. So, nothing special. lol

Thanks everyone! I'm quite happy with the results after just 10lbs lost. Can't wait to double that. :)

I uploaded the wrong size. Correcting these now. Sorry. LoL

I still have quite a journey ahead of me, but I'm 10lbs lighter than when I started. So, I'm happy with my success thus far, no matter how small it is. :))) Pic 1: 4/14/12 - About 188lbs - Wasn't quite motivated yet. Not much difference between Pic 1 and 2. Pic 2: 5/20/12 - About 185lbs Pic 3: 6/12/12 - About 177lbs

My boyfriend tells me he wants a classy lady in public & a filthy *kitten* at home. Boy did he luck out with me! Hahahaha. :)))))))

I just saw "Walking: Upstairs" listed in the database. Seems to be the best thing to use. Correct?
