72 pounds lost in 5 months. I still have a long way to go :)

How long have you been on MFP? I joined November 2011, but didn't log on everyday and ended up deleting my account. I've been back for about two months- I've logged on every day accept for when our internet was down. How many calories a day do you eat without exercise calories? 1100-1220 a day (occasionally I will have a…

I feel like this a lot. I am still a very big woman, so I get that I am probably not what a lot of men usually go for- but I see so many guys putting up with so much B.S. from their pretty, thin girlfriends, and here I am, extremely nice, kind-hearted and funny, yet no one will give me a second glance. I recently fell for…

I don't eat mine back. I didn't even know about eating back exercise calories until I joined MFP. Not eating them back is working for me, so I don't see any need to change things. I still have a lot of weight to lose, over 100 pounds- when I get closer to maintaining my weight then I might consider upping my daily calorie…

I eat pretty much the same thing everyday (aside from special occasions), with very little variation, and am always under 1200 calories- this is even when I have a candy bar or some other small treat, which I do at least once a week. I eat a lot of boneless skinless chicken breasts and vegetables, plus snack on fruit. I…

What a great topic! My positive for the day is- I managed to get through 2 full workouts, totalling 3 hours. I was putting it off because I didn't think I could manage it today, but I did it and I feel great. I am also feeling positive about the new month ahead and more weight loss! Best wishes to everyone :)

I'm in! It's April 1st here in NZ, so, time to get started :) CW: 240 pounds April 30th goal weight: 230 pounds :)

I stil have a very long way to go- about 120 more pounds to lose, so, right now, the scale is a good tool for me to use to track my progress. Even after losing 70 pounds, I honestly can't tell a big difference in the way my clothing fits or how I look, so the scale helps to remind me how far I've come since November of…

I need to lose 120 pounds. I have next to no support in my day to day life, so I find my motivation and support system here on MFP. Anyone can add me :)

an Irish Setter :)

I do two and a half hours of Tae Bo- 7 days a week. I am going to start strength training 3-4 days a week.

I am single and couldn't be happier! I've spent a total of 15 years of my life in unhappy relationships- No more! I am enjoying the single life and have no desire to get into a relationship any time soon :)

I started at 310 pounds and now I'm at 240. My goal, for the time being, is to lose 41 pounds as quickly as I can, so I am finally under 200 pounds! I am 5ft 2, 37 years old and am Living in New Zealand (I am American). I log on everyday- if I don't, it means something is wrong (like last weekend when my internet was…

I used to really dislike any form of cardio exercise, until I started doing Tae Bo. I've been doing it for about 4 months now and I still love it. I know I should probably mix things up a bit, but I still get an intense workout from Tae Bo, so I don't see much of a need right now. It's something I enjoy doing and it's…

Billy Blanks- he keeps me motivated. I look up to anyone who has lost a lot of weight and kept it off- they give me the drive I need to keep at this.

I have a bowl of special K cereal and 1/2 cup of trim milk everyday. I also make sure and drink two glasses of water with my breakfast.

I eat a bowl of cereal with a half glass of trim milk everyday. At first I worried about the sugar content in both the milk and cereal, but it hasn't caused any weight loss/gain problems for me. I used to drink whole milk, but I now drink trim milk. I honestly can't even tell a difference, so it works well for me :)

Hi Everyone! My name is Amy- I am 37 years old and have never had any children. I am American, but I am living in Auckland, New Zealand, for the time being. I started my weight loss journey at 310 pounds and am now down to 240 pounds, with another 100-120 pounds left to go. I've always battled with my wight but never seemd…

I work out everyday. I do it because it makes me feel great and It's become part of my daily routine. I now do two hours of cardio a day, one hour in the morning and one hour at night.

At 310 pounds, my boobs were only a C cup. Now, 70 pounds lighter and they are still a C cup but a small C, probably soon to be a B cup. However, they look fuller and even a bit perkier, since I have lost weight in other areas as well. It sucks seeing them get smaller, but it's nice seeing everything else get smaller as…

I'm 5ft 2- starting weight was 310 pounds, current weight is 240 pounds. I want to lose another 110-120 pounds. Feel free to add me. The more motivation and friends, the merrier :)

Same as always- Boneless, skinless chicken breast, cooked in my George Foreman Grill, one carrot and green beans, 1/2 cap of Extra Virgin olive oil, cracked black pepper and Italian seasoning, and 2 glasses of water :)

I accept anyone who sends me a friend request. I feel that if I don't, I am risking the opportunity of meeting some really nice people. I am extremely shy and insecure, so I don't send friend requests- having said that, I understand why someone might not send me a message along with their friend request and I certainly…

I've been wanting to lose weight for a very, very long time..but I just couldn't ever seem to get in the right mindset to do anything about it, even after being hospitalized for a staph infection. Nothing seemed enough to get through to me. Then, in August of last year, I met someone who changed my life. He opened up my…

I love Billy Blanks' Ultimate Tae Bo workout dvd. It's a 90 minute workout, plus there is an extra 25 minute 'fat blaster' workout. This is by far the best workout dvd I have ever come across- I do the workout every day and have lost 66 pounds so far. I just got the 30 day shred dvd and am looking forward to trying that…

I started losing weight back in November 2011, and, at the time I was only eating around 1000 calories a day. I've been sitting at just about 1200 calories since Jan. 1st and have lost a total of 66 pounds since November of last year. I work out every day and don't eat back any of those calories burned. I eat a lot of…
