For 30DS How do you count in your exercise, is there an overall per level? Or do you break it down to each individual exercise?

Congratulations! Your journey is inspiring!

Way to go!!!!

The first time I joined MFP I too struggled with logging on the weekend. But this time I knew I was ready when I am just as dedicated on weekends as I am on weekdays. It made a huge difference with me and I really like holding myself accountable all the time. If not a cheat meal would turn into a cheat day and then a cheat…

I am 5'4" and starting weight was 179. Current weight 159. Goal weight/range 135 - 145. I am 53 years old. Just want to be comfortable in my clothes and conscious about what I put in my mouth everyday to fuel my body. Not set on a specific number at all. Anywhere in that range and still enjoying life is good for me.

I had mine set to lose 2 pounds per week and it put me at 1200 calories. With exercise I would get more but losing weight stagnated. So I reset to lose only .5 per week and it gives me 1380, much better on non work out days and then on days when I work out I get even more. I am not nearly as hungry all the time and find I…

If you've noticed changes in your face then you probably have other changes too. Get a good sewing tape measure and measure every where. Arms, thighs, hips, neck. Do this about once a month. If you are weighing and measuring your food, just give it time. Took me quite a while to notice a change, but it slowly started…

I'll start by saying what works for one does not work for everyone, but getting different options are so worth it. I read someone posted a while back that just a little change up can help boost you again. I didn't see the scale move for 2 weeks. Then I changed my plan for 2 lb weight loss per week to .5 loss. It upped me…

I do not have a set day or meal for treats or splurges. I really do find that if I have a great day of eating on target and working out and I want an ice cream and I have enough calories left for the day then I have one. If I don't have any calories left in my day then I skip it. I am fighting really hard to stay…

I also don't believe in cheat days. But if I want to go out tonight and have nachos and margaritas, which is only couple times a year, then I do it. If I want a piece of chocolate cake after my work out, then I do it. Try not to over think everything. But I don't need regular cheat days or even regular cheat meals. Log…

Keep up the great work!

I love it when people ask what you're doing and you tell them MFP and CI/CO and they say "Oh I might try that but I can't give up my diet coke" or they go out to eat fast food 3 - 4 times a week and telling you maybe they'll start next week. Then ask you to join them at McDonalds for lunch. I just smile and say no thanks.…

Your hard work and dedication have definitely paid off, great job!!!!!

Congratulations! You look awesome!

WooHoo!!!!!

Not sure why it is called the military diet. I was in the military and they in no way would endorse something like this.

Or we have done lots of protein shakes with fruit and spinach. Very filling

I found some recipes on Pinterest for Protein balls. They have oats, protein powder, honey and then whatever else you put. I put flax meal, almond slivers and dried cranberry, coconut flakes or mini chocolate chips. Stir it all up and use a cookie scooper, very small about 3/4" balls. Put on tray in freezer for about an…

Love Greek Yogurt and usually get Chobani with the oats in it. Today for the first time I have the Chobani Greek Coffee Blended. OMG!!! It is fabulous. Reminds me of a coffee dessert cause it is creamy and smooth. Love it!!

Great job!!!

I agree but lots of people like them and it was such a quick item on the news I had to rewind to hear what they said so I wanted to help get the word out to people.

Great job! Keep going!

Awesome, very inspirational!

Congratulations! You look amazing!

Congratulations! your hard work and perseverance really paid off.
