I am not a morning person. I decided to not try to confuse myself and convince myself that I was. I found a good workout split that suits me and still allows me to get 5 days in a week. It works for me, you have to find your 45 minutes a day to do it. It is there, you just have to think outside the box. You just have to do…

Same here. Don't rely on a pedometer to be accurate and add to your calorie goals here. Everyone is different and I know this works for some people. I however have found that combining the two slowed my weight loss way down. Use the fitbit to motivate, us MFP to track what you eat.

Something to weigh your food. You can get one off Amazon for 20 bucks. If you are going to count cals you really need one. I was surprised when I started weighing everything how much I was off. I also have a fitbit. In my opinion, use it for motivation, don't link it to your fitness pal account. The only cals I count for…

I will add you man. I am at 264 and looking to get down to 205. I started around your weight. Stay honest with your diary, don't burn yourself out to quick, this is a marathon not a sprint. Get yourself a food scale and see how many days in a row you can log. I am at 35 right now. Can you beat me? ;)

In the past I tried this cheat day idea. What I found is that it ends up sabotaging all the hard work that I put in during the week. As others have said, try a cheat meal. And log it, continue to log that meal with the rest of your day. When you complete your logging for the day and my fitness pal tells you what you will…

Food.

Only thing most people are thinking as you go running by is "I need to get my fat butt off the couch and start running." You could be someone's inspiration that day. Go run, save the world!

No one there cares how fat you are. Seriously, and if they do, who cares. Are you going to let something like that keep you out of the gym? Are you going to let a preconceived notion about what someone "might" think about you, keep you from accomplishing YOUR goals? As others have said, if you can fit through the door and…

Whichever one you will continue to go to. :)

FEAR has 2 ways to look at it. Forget everything and run Face everything and rise. As others have said, no one in the gym cares why you are there, or for the matter what you are doing. I know when I go, all I care about is getting my hour in and getting out the door. You can do it. Don't let your past bullies continue to…

2 weeks in here as well and I have gained 4 pounds. As others have said, keep with it. Use it as a count down, you are now 50 weeks away from working out for a solid year. You will start to see results if you continue going and put the work in at the gym. Watch your food intake and continue going. If you want to have the…

The thing that will make the biggest change. Continue to go. :) Seriously, if I had never stopped I would be in amazing shape right now. Wouldn't we all.

Weigh myself when I get up every morning. I used to just weigh in every Friday morning, but I like keeping track of how I progress from day to day. It also helps to keep me honest.

My biggest issue with the fitbit one is that I have personally washed 2 of them that were left in my jeans. They are also very easy to lose, being small and dark colored, they easily can be misplaced. That is why I really like the flex, as it stays on my arm with the exception of going to the lake, or taking showers. As…

Flex user here as well. As another poster stated, sure you might get some false readings with it on wrist, but it helps to keep me motivated to keep moving. It is easy to set up to sync here, just don't eat back all the cals that it tells you that you are burning while walking and you are good. I tend to try to at least…

Why are you only eating 300 to 500 calories a day. Your food is your fuel and your body is running on empty. No wonder you are constantly tired and have headaches. You are starving yourself. Go eat something.

Cinnamon, splenda, and blue berries or black berries is usually the way I eat it. Cinnamon and a little splenda also work well by themselves if you don't have any berries to put in.

Atlanta Bread Company Chicken Waldorf sandwich. 450 cals, and tastes amazing! http://www.sparkpeople.com/calories-in.asp?food=atlanta+bread+company+chicken+waldorf+sandwich Expensive though.

I am definitely in the 97 percent. I think the secret for me is going to be going back to the gym and coupling that with changing my eating habits. The last time I lost a lot of weight, I did it just by eating right. I lost a lot, but gained it back easily because I spent no time in the gym. I have to make the gym a part…

I need a kick in the *kitten*. I have got to get my butt in the gym. How do I join this Army and stay motivated. LoL

Everyone goes through a plateau of some kind. I just finally broke through one of mine. I was stuck not losing a pound for almost a month, and now this week I have dropped 2lbs. I read all kinds of things on breaking through plateaus and for some people it just takes more time than others. I really took a look at my diet…

Going to go and donate all of my size 42 pants, and am back in 38s. Last hole on my belt, time for a new one of those as well. Good luck everyone, keep it up!
