These posts are so inspirational. I hope to post my own pics some day soon!.

So inspiring! Great job everyone!

I hear you! I lost 30 pounds and got under 300. I thought 250 would be right around the corner, but I seem to have lost my momentum. I'm still exercising, but not as strenuously as I was a couple of months ago. I've let my food slip too. I've been so busy and stressed at work that I have been relying too much on…

When I eat junk food, I frequently can't stop. It's better for me to just not eat it. But if I feel deprived, I will binge on a whole bag of something. I'm slowly learning to have a few chips or cookies and not the whole bag. If I'm tempted to overeat something I shouldn't I tell myself "I don't need that." Of course I…

Wise and inspiring words. Thanks for sharing. Congratulations on your amazing loss!

This is so helpful! I wish I had this months ago.

Safety Dance by Men Without Hats

I did this challenge a couple of months ago and loved it. I think I'll jump right in and try it again. Day 5 -- 70 squats done!

I'm always up for a challenge. This sounds like just what I need! I jumped in with 40 seconds. Yay me!

I wasn't very consistent with posting my steps last month. I'm going to try to post more this month! Aug 1 5596 Aug 2 5711 Aug 3 7483 Aug 4 7858 Aug 5 11474

I'm determined to keep posting! July 2 10335 July 3 10302 July 4 9055 July 5 6001 July 6 9963 July 7 10123 July 8 6538 July 9 8320 July 10 10126 July 24 14678 July 25 10044 July 26 6247 July 30 10424 July 31 9637 Aug 1 5596 Aug 2 5711 Aug 3 7483 Aug 4 7858 Aug 5 11474

I love this post! Especially the part about sweat being washable. It's true! And I think moving is the cure for just about everything. If I'm down, moving lifts my spirits. If I eat something I shouldn't, moving helps me burn off the calories and keeps me from beating myself up about it. Moving encourages me to eat better.…

I have now lost a 2 year old! Woo hoo!

D'oh! I've been forgetting to wear my pedometer. And the days I remember, I forget to post! The pedometer has a few days of steps in the memory. Let me see if I can get back into this.

Yup, I'm a rock girl from way back. I like everything from 80s hair metal (like GNR) to 90s alternative (like Pearl Jam) even older stuff like Led Zep. Or really old stuff like Muddy Waters. : ) I can't believe people mentioned Rammstein! I didn't think anyone but me had ever heard of them! I am super psyched about the…

1) A portion size is not as much as I can eat at one time. Portions need to be weighed and measured. And a correct portion is satisfying. 2) It it much easier to control calories by not overeating than by trying to burn them off. I can lose weight by cutting calories alone. i cannot lose weight by exercise alone. But the…

Congrats on your weight loss! But also, good for you for posting this message. It's hard to learn to come out of our shells.

This one hit home for me. My weight has limited my life. Here's to no more regrets!

I agree. My workout clothes are getting threadbare. I've been using them a lot! : ) But I went shopping the other day and the only thing I could find in my size was sweat pants! I'm hot enough already, thank you. I don't need to wear heavy fleece while I work out.

I've lost an automobile tire. Woo hoo!

Feel free to add me. I try to log in every day. I've missed a day or two here an there! But I love sharing my journey with other like minded people. I have about 170 pounds to lose and I am determined to make it this time!!

I got my days mixed up. Here are my corrected numbers. July 2 10335 July 3 10302 July 4 9055 July 5 6001 July 6 9963 July 7 10123

Holy crap! How did you walk that fast?? That is amazing!

I don't have a smart phone either. I do all my logging on the computer. I log on in the morning and enter my breakfast. Lunch is a work and I have to remember it. I don't write it down, because I would probably lose it! But I am able to remember that meal. When I get home, I log lunch and any snacks. Then I log dinner…

You can do this. I'm doing it, and I have nearly 200 pound to lose. I would recommend setting MFP for a 2 pounds per week loss. That's what mine is set on. As I lose weight, MFP reduces my daily calories to keep me at 2 pounds per week. But it's plenty of food for me. If MFP is telling you to eat 2000 or 2200 calories, try…
