Previous group loss:11.4 My weight loss:1.6 New group loss: 13

I just joined in March, but I've lost 13 pounds...I feel like I pushed myself when I wasn't feeling well, but could have pushed harder. I need to buckle down this month and get in the gym 5 days a week. I really don't have a problem controlling my food intake, I just feel like I need to exercise more and lose quicker. I…

I did this one time too...However, it didn't last because I didn't know how to actually cook for myself. Fresh fruits and veggies deli meats and lots of boneless skinless chicken breasts. I have a pan that has a cover. I put the frozen chicken in and put the cover on and in about 20 minutes my chicken is done. NO adding…

Great job!!! :glasses:

If you have a pool accessible to you that would be a good idea too. The water would take the pressure off of your joints so that you could move your body more easily. I have about 150 lbs to lose and I know the struggles that weight can have. Who would have thought I was state champion tennis player in high school by…

I am so in!

I have two 7 year olds, a 5 year old and a 2 year old. I have finally come to the point that I eat first. If I eat first then there really is not a temptation. That is for lunch time. At dinner I make boneless, skinless chicken breast a bunch and just make theirs into a casserole or put in in noodles or something to the…

Congratulations on the weight loss! You need to only have a couple hundred calories left by the end of the day...Trust me at first I was completely skeptical but read up a lot on it and it totally makes sense. So, I see the scale move every day if only .2 pounds. That's another thing, if you don't have a scale that gets…

i weigh every day. I bought a scale that measures weight to .2, that way I get excited if I see any changes at all. It encourages me

try replacing your breads (bagels and regular bread) with Ezekiel bread...It tastes good and is great for you and it's super easy for your body to digest...

I'm new and I was confused as well. They all say that if you exercise you have to eat the same amount of calories as you burn. So say MFP tells you you need to eat 1200 calories for the day, that's the amount you have to eat without any exercise. If you exercise and burn say 300 calories, you will need to eat 1500 calories…

Thanks to all that have positive things to say and advice, being new here I really appreciate it.

OK what I have logged is exactly what I have eaten and exercised! I do not drink alcohol, matter of fact I only drink water. If I could have afforded to go see a doctor I would have by now. I take offense that it's just that easy, because it clearly is not just that easy for some of us! I have completely changed my eating…

Ok...so I should eat the 1800 calories that MFP says to eat then eat whatever calories I burn for exercise...for instance 1800 + say 400 from exercise...so 2200 calories and I will lose weight? Thanks to all who have given me advice!!

I appreciate the post, but I am unclear about the calories. exercise aside, should I eat my 1200 or 1400 calories a day and just that...or do I need to eat more based on exercise?

ok so I opened up my food log, didn't know that there was a privacy setting. My computer was down for the last couple days, so there are no entries for that time. I am 5'9" and I weight 324 lbs today.

oh and the 5lbs lost was from the previous week when I didn't use the gym, but the scale says I gained 3 of that back!

i'm in too
