There's a huge difference. You look awesome!

Great information and a good reminder!

I love the elliptical. I am a cardio junky. You can definately burn a lot of calories that way.

OMG you look crazy amazing!!!!!! You are such an inspiration to all the people on MFP.

I managed a pizza shop for several years and I can tell you for sure that there are fewer calories in a thin crust in comparison to hand tossed or pan style. Garlic butter and alfredo type sauces have way more calories than the typcial red/tomato-based pizza sauce. You can ask them to do light cheese on the pizza (usually…

I put zuchinni and squash in stir-fry all the time. It's really yummy.

You look absolutely amazing! Congratulations on your success.

I am looking forward to.... being able to wear outfits and actually feel sexy in them. not trying to cover everything that I don't like. being able to wear a swimsuit and be proud. truely being healthy and fit. not being the fat friend.

I had my appendectomy a little less than a year ago. My doctor said I had to wait four weeks to start exercising again. I think you should just follow your doctor's instructions.

Awesome! You look great.

I have always wanted to try cycling, but I am afraid of gaining weight instead of tricking my metabolism. I was thinking of cycling 1200 and 1600 cals every other day. That would still equal to what MFP recommends when added up for all 7 days of the week. Any advice?

I always preplan my dinner and then base my breakfast and lunch off of that!

They offer Zumba at the Y near my house. I love that class!

Grilled chicken breast marinated in fat-free italian dressing with a side of zuchinni and yellow squash. I will probably make baked french fries for my kids, but I don't usually eat them.

You look gorgeous in your wedding dresss! So you fell off for one day. Recommit and start new. Today is a fresh day. In the scheme of things, one day isn't so bad. It's the repeated days that add up.

I like the brown! Good luck on your journey.

I think the pool might be a good alternative. I have to do some whirlpool therapy for my foot. So obvious the water exercise wouldn't be too much strain.

You really have to back off caffiene slowly in order to avoid the headaches. Try weening yourself instead of quiting cold turkey.

How about some circuit training? You could incorporate some intense with some low impact and strength training.

Wow! That is an amazing accomplishment. Congratulations!

At this point I am only eating 50% of my earned exercise calories. When I was eating all of my exercise calories I stopped losing weight. I wasn't able to renew my gym membership, so at this point, I am just trying to use the 30 day shred to stay committed to daily exercise and to hopefully tone up a little.

Thanks for the information! I am going to try making some changes to my routine and see if shocks my metabolism into shape.

I thought I would borrow it from the library just to read about it. I don't know if it is worth anything, but I have been at a plateau for four weeks now. I thought it might budge the scale.

I have the same problem. I try to eat in air conditioning!

According to everything I have read, weighing yourself in the morning is the most accurate.

I struggle with the same thing. Down 2 up 1, down 2 up 3. I feel like I am consistently weighing in within the same 2lb. range. I keep changing up my routine and stick to the food plan. I am hoping that eventually it will pay off.

Thanks for the information. I have been wanting to get that video. Everyone says they get great results!

excellent advice! I have hit a plateau right now so this really hits home for me.

It looks like you recently joined. I would give it time. I went through the same thing. I lost 11lbs. on my own and then joined and have only lost 2lbs. since. I am sticking to it. Although I don't see great results on the scale, I have lost inches, my clothes fit better and I know that I am more tone than I was 8 weeks…

I am experiencing the same problem. I have been stuck at the same weight within two pounds for a few weeks now. I just try to keep my body guessing and change it up as much as possible. I try to do a different workout everyday.
