  • I felt some of the same things as you. I started at 306. I cut out the worst offenders like daily ice cream and cupcakes and tried to find substitutes for them. Like yogurt, fruit and granola for ice cream. I was healthy 5 days and for weekend dinners I ignored my calorie goal. I still lost weight because I exercised 6…
  • Sorry not sure what I did to make the other photos disappear.
  • I started out at 317. I sympathize with the stomach thing. I seem to lose everywhere else before my stomach. It takes me months to lose 1 pant size. I've found that strength training and working on abs 3 times a week helps. I like Jillian Michael's Six Weeks to A Six Pack. It's still a painfully slow and frustrating…
  • Are you hungry or bored? If you are truly hungry then eat. Also try eating more protein and drinking more water.
  • I started doing Insanity a month ago but I only did twice a week. I didn't think I was strong enough to do it more. I've restarted now and I'm in my second week of month one. I do it four times a week and weight training 2 times a week. It gets better just keep at it. I've noticed I'm a lot hungrier than normal also. So be…
  • So glad you posted this because I am in the same boat. I carry most of my weight in my stomach and I tend to lose from there the slowest. So it took forever for me to lose a size in jeans. But I also noticed like other people posted that it depends on the jeans. It took losing 60 lbs before I lost a pants size in Old Navy…
  • I use it to add protein to my diet and add muscle. It also helps surpress my appetite. In addition I like that it also has vitamins in it. I usually drink it after my workout to help me recover.I'm not an expert on protein powders or on building muscle but it seems to work for me. It also taste great mixed with water or…
  • Eggs with green peppers and cheese seasoned with Cayenne pepper
  • I accidently bought super slim jeans a couple months ago and they were so tight I couldn't even get them pass my knees. Today I pulled them all the way on! Also I was able to do burpees for the first time!
  • I don't know about inches but I usually gain 4-5 lbs.

  • I alternate between walking 2-4 miles and doing one of the Rocking Body workouts with 30DS depending on how much energy I have. On the weekend I pick a day to do just 30DS and rest the other. I usually eat yogurt and oatmeal before my workout if I have time and peanut butter toast and a protein smoothie afterwards. Since I…
  • I had the same question. Everyone on MFP seems to have a different opinion. I started out not eating my exercise back and I felt fine at first. But then I started being hungry and feeling sick after dinner. So I started eating most of my back and I'm still losing weight. So I say listen to your body if it's physical hunger…
  • Before I joined I was about 316. Now I'm 252. One day at a time.
  • My doctor's scale always adds 10lbs for whatever reason. Even my mom and stepfather notices that. (we all go to the same doctor's office)
  • I'm 24. Feel free to add me.
  • GO GIRL!!! Congrats!
  • Hi! I feel you on the weight watchers. It was great for awhile. My initial goal was to lose 126 lbs but I'm debating adding another 30lbs to that just so I can be smack dab in the healthy zone for BMI. I've lost 52 lbs so far. Feel free to add me.
