Hello, I am on day 2 and lost 1.7 lbs (that is what I weigh morning of day 2). I am hoping that this works.

You look great! what was your calorie intake to lose the weight?

As long as you are not starving yourself and you feel ok with what you eat --Continue doing what you are doing. High number are normal at first. the you have a lot to lose so 20 lbs is normal - it will slow down on its own soon. Meanwhile enjoy it! --your body will want more food soon. your body will tell you what it wants…

Inspirational ....good job!!

Working on it every day.

Working on it.

FANTASTIC !!! CONGRATS !!

I like being single b/c -Not having to explain who that guy that said hi is -Being able to buy shoes, bags, clothes without having to hid it. -Not have to go to bed because someone else wants you to -Watching tv shows I enjoy -Not having to deal with unhealthy food around me!!!!!! -Not stalling your plans b/c of the other…

How did it turn out?

Good post! Maybe 5'3 / 5'4 and under would fit into one group. So far for me with my 4 mths on MFP: FOOD: Clean eating in terms of health wise, changing my groceries completely. WORKOUT: I started with a lot of cardio and I lost 12 lbs, but after 2mths the weight loss stopped so I switched to running and strength training…

Good boy! congrats! :)

If you can spot "increase" body building then you can spot reduce...It may not have quick noticeable results but its possible. Just my opinion from experience.

Always keep searching to replace / add or edit for the furtherance of your goal. WORKOUT: Find 2-3 things you enjoy doing and do them 4, 5, 6 times a week for 2-3 months. Then add or replace some or all. Goal: NOT to get bord and stop. FOOD: cook 98% of your meals, Don't schedule a cheat day b/c you never know when you are…

PB & celery oatmeal, almond milk, cinnamon

WOW !!! You have changed your life ....You are the meaning of LIFE IS WHAT YOU MAKE OF IT ..... CONGRATULATIONS !!

I read labels all the time....check for SUGAR (my weakness too) & sodium < another reason why I don't eat out. I cook everything. Cant have too much Sodium.

TRUST ME we are not posting to embarrass you! we want to help you. I could eat chocolate and sweet pastry / donuts day & night !!! if I did not gain weight. I had a Nutella jar at home all the time. ITs not easy giving it up. I would love a chocolate bar every day. When I started I thought ok I will have to give up ice…

I am not good with eating my calories (NET) so I cant help there....need to figure that out myself. BUT never starve! If you are hungry EAT even if you will go over JUST make it clean food

That seems good if you feel ok with it. BUT your focus of IMPROVEMENT is FOOD. try preparing your food on Sunday (veggies, sweet potatoes etc) and store in fridge. I marinate my fish & chicken in bags and put half in frizzer the other in fridge & I grill as needed. takes few minutes. then add the other stuff you have…

This is my current problem - I am scared to....i guess b/c we lost weight at a lower calorie so we don't want to change.

1) Whole wheat bread with "The Laughing Cow cream cheese" <delish / egg white with tomato & peper/seasoning. 2) oatmeal with almond milk un-sweeten, sometimes add raisins. Don't eat anything that someone else prepares. I was never a cook but I cook ALL my food now ...I still don't like being in the kitchen too much. BUT…

" I'm getting up a 5.15am for the gym when its doing nothing! " exercise is only 20% food is 80% Clean food is the KEY I am on a plateau too for 1 mth & 1/2...I have a clean diet but workout too much...Imagine that....its harming me. You still have a bit to lose so just some light workout will do ...Focus on cleaning up…

I gained 12 lbw eating Nutella during the winter while going to the gym 6 times a wk. CLEAN food must be implemented. keep trying to substitute it.

You are fairly new to mfp, this could be the reason. I felt the same during my first 2 moths or so, THEN I go so hungry on most days that I could eat the house. But my burns are hight 800 to 1012. My advice eat when you are hungry because there are days when you will be very hungry and you will worry that you are going…

OK girl you win! dam! :( I have not lost in 1 and 1/2 month. On MFP for 3 moths. Lost 12 lbs in 8 wks, then went up 3 lbw. I did start doing strength training and have lost some inches but the scale is not moving. Today is a low faith day and losing motivation :( I work HARD. 6 times a wk. Eat healthy 98% of the time.

HELL NO !!! - I got a 13 yr old too. I don't let her go to the conner store alone....not to the mall alone...Hell No! I would let her walk around with her friend at the mall while I am there too. Go in different directions with her cell phone in hand of course. I am a very over protective mother. Not because I don't trust…

on and off - yes

I am 5'1 -Started April 17, 2012 @ 142; -winter weight gain courtesy of NUTELLA & eating out. Lost the 12 lbs in 2mths. Now I am doing more strength training. Not losing weight, only inches. The changes are happening slower, or it seems since the scale is not moving. Similar stats? add me.
