You should replicate the "before" picture too. it helps to see the exact changes! Way to go!!

Thanks, but I honestly thought that the first 25 would have come off alot easier than it has. So i'm betting that the next 20 is going to be pretty crappy. haha. Thanks!!!

I love MFP and all of the support that you get from complete strangers. Thanks everyone! I appreciate all of it... every bit.

I'd be like "yes, yes I did"... then I'd go dye my hair so they stopped asking. 30 is sooo much weight. you have to be able to notice a difference. you should post a before and after.

Well that's why I love MFP because I can say "hey, I need some help and encouragement here" and I get it. Thank you!!!!

Stay positive about it. Im going on 9 weeks. 22 pounds and i'm starting weight training tomorrow. Can't wait!

I've always had self image issues. This is exactly why I posted it. Thanks!!! Def not offended, that's why I ask!

Special K makes these 90 calories bars that are pretzel and chocolate. So they're sweet and salty and let me tell you they are delicious!!!

There's a website that I use, it's caloriesburnedhq.com

Thank you!!! I'll try eating a whole avacado versus a half, eat some PB, add Fiber one into my chobani. ;)

Thanks everyone for the fantastic information. It does take a bit to understand how it's possible that I need to be taking in more calories than I am. Starting today I'm upping my calories to 1500 and I have zumba tonight. I'll do it that way for a bit and if that doesn't work, I'm sure I'll reply again in a week or so and…

I'm not eating back my calories regardless of the zumba calories. So even if i'm not burning the 750 like the calculator told me I was, I'm still not eating them back.

Holy crap, contrats to you!!! 95 pounds lost? That's amazing!!! How long have you been working at that?

at least three times a week I'm doing zumba which burns 750-800 calories per session. The other days, I'm working the arc trainer which is burning 330-350. I don't want to eat more calories unless it's going to help me lose them.

so would all of these things be factoring in as to why I've only lost 13 in 30 days? With the amount of exercise, etc I think i should be losing more.

I'm 5' 7", I currently weight 184. My goal weight is 150. My BMR is 1600. My TDEE is 2800
