Don't listen to those folks telling you that you goal is unrealistic. They are probably just jealous at how well you are doing. When I reached my goal I had people constantly asking when i was going to stop loosing weight and calling me skinny (which I find derogatory) I prefer being called healthy or fabulous :-)

i hear spicy foods boost your metabolism. also if you want to have a few drinks at night just walk around during the day, which i am sure you will do.

I'm not a vegetarian but i just don't eat a lot of meat usually. I love broccoli slaw, you can do so much with it. It's good with peanut sauce and mandarin oranges. also love the morning star chicken patties and corn dogs

I walked every day for about 30 mins and it helped a lot

1200 calories a day is the way to go. You don't want to loose more than 2lbs a week. otherwise you are not being healthy. Not only will loosing too much too fast be bad for your body, your body will look sad, all wrinkled and saggy from the weight loss. slow is better cuz it gives your body time to firm up as you go.

I'm just getting into running, I do more of a walk/jog mix. That pic was from a 5k at Disney in November. I was supposed to do my 2nd one last weekend but i was sick. I hope to do the Wine and Dine 1/2 marathon this October.

I got my sports bra at Kohl's, i think the brand was Lily of France, it has underwires on the outside, good support and i was on the big up top side. I love Old Navy's workout clothing. I usually wait til it makes it to the clearance rack.

awesome! Congrats on your anniversary. It's my one year today too.

I like how you think. I do have friends that log those calories. I haven't yet, but if I am over my calories i just secretly smile to myself since i know that i probably have calories to spare

I got the Lily of France in Action Sports bra from Kohl's. I think it was $20 or less (not like the $50 for most sports bras). I've been happy with it. http://www.lilyoffrance.com/Sport.html

yes you have to log it. If i have to log it, then you have to as well! lol But I hate drinking my calories, so just make sure you do a little extra walking before you drink. also i was using the zero calorie lemonade vitamin water as a mixer for flavored vodkas. stay away from the 55 calorie Bud select. it tastes like…

in the morning, you may weigh a little less since the alcohol dehydrates you. So drink a bunch of water tomorrow, you will be fine. I only drank 3 times while loosing weight, but now that I am maintaining, i've been a bad bad girl and i haven't gained any back

oh and i forgot to say, take a multi-vitamin. I stake those vitacrave gummy vitamins. they gave me the B vitamin boost i needed

No. Just stick with your calories on mfp and do some cardio like walking everyday. No need to ever take a diet pill. And I refused to pay anything to loose weight. I've lost 75lbs since last March and actually won $600 in various contests with friends.

You got this! I started March 2, 2012 and by mid October I was down 70lbs and 10 sizes :-) feel free to friend me. I'm maintaining these days

you inspired me for dinner, I did soba noodles with shrimp, snow peas, mushrooms, and green onions with a thai peanut sauce

Are you a vegetarian? If not you need some protein like chicken. I put snow peas or sugar snap peas in mine and mushrooms.

awesome. I may be going this spring and didn't know if this would be too much for me or not. I love to hike, but have never tried anything like this.

Hi I'm Wendy, live in Gainesville. I recently reached my goal after 7 1/2 months and lost 70lbs. Trying to get the hang of maintaining now.

depends on the situation. It took a year for me and my ex (we lived together for 3 years) to become friends again. He is not my best friend, but he is someone i can call in an emergency and also we hike and kayak together often. That was the best part of our relationship was the outdoors stuff and traveling we did. now I…

try making your own pizza sometime. I love homemade pizza and it is a lot more healthy

awesome job

If i can do it so can you. Don't think of it as a diet, its a life style change. I did a 1200 calorie/day (that's what mfp suggested for loosing 2 lbs a week). I also walked at least 30 mins a day. usually just after dinner, instead of sitting on the couch watching tv. This is key. You need some cardio and walking is…

I log it has 20 mins of each pilates, yoga, and tai chi so it's 195 calories/hour.

Many have asked bout my exercise. I started just walking around the block for 30 mins at a fairly fast pace. I did this every day and it got to if I didn't walk I felt like a lump on the couch in front of the TV. When it got too hot outside to walk I went to the gym and would either walk a 5k on the tred mill or spilt it…

Jessica it scares me too. But I was eating 1200 cal to loose 2 lbs a week and 1800 now to maintain. We will see how it goes. Also I know my strength training will build muscle, which weighs more than fat, burn muscle burns calories too, so it will be a learning experience for sure. I am also worried bout the beginning of…

No I didn't eat all my calories back. But if I wanted a treat or to go out and have a beer I would go walking to make room for the extra calories coming in. But generally I was under my calorie goal just a bit. The 1800 is just food i think but I have on there that i will work out twice a week for 30 mins, in reality I…
