Thank you for sharing Mommy!! I don't feel so alone now. I was eating high protein and lower carb and fat before and now I am higher carb so I believe that was/is one of the reasons. I had to eat carbs in order to keep my nausea at bay somewhat. I am feeling much better now in that area. I still have to be careful because…

Jumping in here. SW 222.6 CW 232.4 I didn't want to gain this much already but with the bad MS I had, I ate lots of carbs and I completely stopped working out and counting my calories until yesterday. I can do light exercise but nothing like I was doing which is very frustrating to me going to the gym and not being able to…

Just had a positive test yesterday and going off the charts it says February 28. I saw my Dr today to get a blood draw to find out what my numbers are and then I will be sent to the OB office.

Yes BigCed!!

[/quote] I would love to look like this when I am at my goal.

ugh!!

Ok thanks! I will increase my weight then.

Good Evening Ladies! I just started the program today and I am pretty excited to start. My name is Tonya, age 36, 4 kids ages 18-7 years old. I am currently in the obese category and trying to lose but also maintain my LBM and increase it hopefully. So slow and steady is the way I am trying to go. I have been working at…

Hi all! I just started the program earlier today. I am hoping I am doing it right. I started with workout 1, A1 and do you only do two sets of each exercise? I have been lifting for a year, doing sets of 20 for 3 reps so this doesn't seem like enough for me. Any thoughts or advice? Thanks!!

Thank you!! You have a great looking family.

Pretty smile.

Sorry I am a bit late. I am 36 years old, 5'5.5. The highest I have weighed was 267. I currently weigh 206. I started my journey in January 2012, although I have struggled with my weight for almost my whole life. My goal is to be 199.9 on New Years Eve. Slow and steady is the only way I can go. Ultimately my goal weight in…

Yep this is my goal too. I have 8.5 pounds to lose by New Years Eve. I haven't seen onederland in over 9 years and I can't wait to say I am out of the 200s. Stats 5' 5.5 SW 267 CW 208.6 GW 165 Age 36

Anyone can add me my email addy is sugamommasb@aol.com Love my FitBit, I would be lost without it.

I am going to have to go try on a the size of bra it says. I am wearing a 38DD right now but this says I should be wearing a 38G no way do I think that will fit. I would be swimming in the cups.

I agree up your protein and try to get as close to your BMR and I think you will see a change. I know once I adjusted my protein intake I started losing at a more steady rate. Maybe change up your percentages for carbs/protein/fat 40/30/30 would be my suggestion. Also try introducing some strength training.

I am 5'5" 219 pounds, started at 265 I try to always eat my BMR 1749, I range from that all the way up to 2500 calories a day. I am averaging 1.5-2 pounds a week of loss. I lift 3 days a week and I do cardio 5 times a week. I forgot to add it was very important that I change my macros too. I now eat 40/35/25. I am still…

You look GREAT!! You also look like you have lost more weight than too. Keep it up!!:smile:

You look fabulous! Awesome job! Truly an inspiration.

Argh! My post didn't go through. Anyways I think this is a great idea. My mini goal for my family this week is 1 hour computer time a day and 2 hours of tv time a day *one hour during the day and one hour after dark* and I would like for everyone to do something physical for an hour a day.

wife- higher than 170 but I hope to be there someday, thank you!! wife- 127?? icelandic- 138??

This is my first post in here and I am really struggling with my DD's weight. She is 7 years old, 54.5 inches and just weighed in at 102.2 pounds yesterday. I took her to an Endocrinologist to see what is going on and there were no answers. I don't understand why she is gaining weight at the rate she is gaining. Her bone…

KNK 132lbs?? I am 5'5

I have my calories set at 1769 but I generally end up eating 2000-2200 a day when I exercise which most times it is everyday.

Yes I let my teenage daughter go to the mall with her friends when she was 13 years old. I would take her and drop her off for a few hours and she is perfectly fine. I will say I don't live in a large city though. If I lived somewhere like Chicago/Dallas, I would have stayed at the mall with her and let her go on her own…

You look HOT!! Your arms are nicely defined. I hope to get my arms to that point one of these days. Great job!!

Great job! You can really see a difference!!

I was diagnosed in April with hypothyroid. I started my weight loss journey in January and I was getting very frustrated as I was working out 6 days a week for 1-1.5 hours each time and eating no more than 1650 calories a day and I did not eat my exercise calories back and my weight loss started off great but then I…

You look AWESOME! Can you share what your food intake was like and how tall are you?
