  • Well I'm actually in graduate school, and quite involved on campus, and I got to the point where I would keep saying tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow and I would never do anything about it. When I stopped fitting into my "fat" clothes I decided it was time to make a change, and when I committed I decided not to let myself get…

  • I don't have a low cal brownie recipe, but I can say that betty crocker makes these little 150 calorie cake mixe things, and they come in like caramel chocolate and something else. They ALWAYS help me with my sweet tooth, and its just enough that your not craving more after you finish it! You can find them at walmart, I…
  • I ordered my disks a while back and I'm just waiting to get them in the mail, I'm super excited! I'll definitely join in!
  • I would go with what the HRM says because the HRM calculates the calories burned based on your own heart rate. The others make assumptions based on your weight and age, which can be pretty big sometimes. The HRM may be a little off if you don't have a chest strap but I would definitely say its probably more accurate.
  • I personally really like the GNC WellBeing brand, the chocolate is really tasty especially if you mix it with almond milk or just regular milk. And its specifically designed for women and our needs and low in calories, only 100 per scoop! Good luck in your search!
  • That's such an inspiration, you look absolutely beautiful!!! Keep up the good work!!
  • That's awesome, keep up the great work!!
  • You have to realize that fat weighs less then muscle, so as your building lean muscle, which is why you are losing inches, you are also gaining the weight in muscle. The good thing is is that muscle burns fat a lot faster, so even though your not seeing the scale move, you need to focus on the inches that you see going…
  • OMG you have GOT to go!!! I'm addicted to zumba and I absolutely love it! There is a mix of people who have rhythm and some who don't at all!! You will love it, it's so much fun!
  • Welcome!! Good luck with your weight loss!
  • Thanks everyone!! It was so relieving to hear that it didn't really matter, esp since my schedule changes so much! Definitely appreciate it!
  • Welcome to MFP!!! Good luck with everything and congrats on the weight you've already lost!! That's something to be proud of!
  • jjtonic75: is there a heart rate monitor that you could recommend? I've been looking at them all day and I just don't have a clue!! Thanks!!
  • I definitely know the feeling, I have only had MFP for two months, first month I lost 5 pounds, second month stopped using MFP and gained them back plus more!! Keep it up though you can do it!!
  • The community part to this website is so great because we're all here to do the same thing, lose weight and be healthy! There's always lots of encouragement and lots of people wanting to see each other succeed!! Good luck!!
  • Thank you so much for posting this!! I'm going to print it off and keep it at my desk and in my purse at all times. The hard part about losing weight is just sticking with it, and this is a great way to just keep focused! And its really good advice as well, esp about the jeans part! Thanks again!
  • I think everyone trying to lose weight needs encouragement!! And you can do it!! I got away from MFP last month and gained back all the weight I lost and then some, so I'm back again for round 2! And your verse is one of my favorites, I look at it all the time, esp since I'm in graduate school!! Keep up the hard work!!

I have definitely gotten rid of the boyfriend, it just sucks because the damage is done ha, but I'm going to change that!! Thanks…
