Good job! This is one of my goals!

One thing that helped me was logging days regardless if I went way over my calories or not. It was a like a free pass when I wasn't logging bad days. It wasn't there for me to see that it happened, so I never had an consequences with my actions. It may help to start logging regardless of how many calroies you eat in a day.

I always go over protein too. MFP sets it way too low for me.

This cracked me up!

The more plain water you drink the better it tastes. I went from drinking no water and seriously like 6-7 diet cokes a day to drinking water and coffee. I can't drink coffee without water anymore. I also quit putting sweetener in my coffee and only using 1 tbsp of creamer per cup. My main reasoning was also trying to get…

I wouldn't mind new friends either :)

great post!

I just started doing weights in Feb, and I am having so much fun! I see/feel results much faster, and it doesn't feel like I am struggling like I was when just dieting or doing only cardio. I say keep it up! :bigsmile:

I use Paul Newman's Light Balsamic Vinaigrette. It really goes well on any salad. I also use hot sauce/salsa on most all salads when I want a change.

You can add me. I'm 5'2" and have been fighting my weight my whole life. Getting in the gym and lifting weights has really shown some good/fast results for me.

:bigsmile:

need this for future reference

If you are doing them in the same session, I would say do strength first.

No I have not done that. I work out with a personal trainer two times a week and then 3-4 days on my own. I'm semi-following a program off of bodybuilding.com as well.

yay! Thanks for that.

I started lifting 4-6 times a week about 2 months ago, and it has made the biggest difference. It is also much more fun than spending hours on the treadmill/elliptical :)

Fort Worth, TX here! I need new people too, so anyone feel free to add me :)

Hi! I'm going to add you. I need some MFP friends to help keep me motivated. My diary is open, but beware, some of the things I eat are very random. haha.

I'm not doing ww now, but I was up until feb. I still keep current with it though because my mom is doing ww. You can add me if you'd like. I need all the buddies on here I can have.

I did the same thing over Christmas and one day turned into two and I ended up gaining 10lbs in 2 months. Hungry much? You've lost 17lbs, so you know what to do to lose. Get up tomorrow and keep doing it. The more you dwell on what you've done bad, the worse you will feel. It is way easier to put on than take off, as I am…

Getting weight training into your routine will help a lot, but I agree with also getting blood work done. I just found out I have low testosterone. Which sounds funny because women are supposed to have low amounts, but not having enough is harmful to our bodies as well. It can cause extreme fatigue, muscle loss, lack of…

Eat lean protein or veggies. Stay away from late night carbs, but if you are hungry, eat!

I agree cold water helps. I make it a goal to drink a whole bottle before I leave for work. I tried the crystal light, but I found pure water was more satisfying. I don't sip water though. The longer drinks I take the thirstier I realize I am, so I drink more. I also found if I follow a sip of coffee with a drink of water…
