Feel free to add me too. I log every day and love to give and receive encouragement along the way.

Been doing it for a while now. Like you I stalled out on losing too and figured it wouldn't hurt to try TDEE and I am so glad I did. Slow and steady and I see inches coming off more now than ever. Be patient and give it a try.

Trying this tonight :happy:

I still have a long way to go but seeing all the changes in myself and everyone on here is so inspiring to keep rocking it! YOU ALL LOOK AMAZING! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! left pic is 280, Right at 235 ATV ride through rainforest in PR on my honeymoon in 2012 (my highest weight 289) about 240 in this pic. Sorry for my…

May 25th will be my 1 yr of logging food with MFP. I will weigh in on that day and I hope to be at 53 lbs lost...which is a pound a week....I'm ok with that. I think my body is adjusting with every pound. My biggest worry was saggy skin if I lost too quick so I opted for slow and steady. If I can continue to lose the pound…

That is so funny that we have the same on. I love it. I'm gonna friend request you :)

Haven't seen my twin on here yet. 37 yrs. old 5'8" SW: 289 CW: 250 GW: 180

I am now set at 1839. I should be at 2044 but I have a hard time eating 1839 some days so I keep it at that. I work out 5 days a week. I do NOT eat back any of my exercise calories having it set this high. When I started MFP it had me at 1250 calories. I get the whole eating back your workout calories but on the days I did…

Do not use what MFP tells you to use. You have to eat to lose. I was like you when I started and I was confused and went by MFP. Yeah I lost weight quick at first then I plateaued and got stuck. I upped my calories and now I'm losing on average a pound a week. My diary is open and you can see I do not eat that healthy. I…

Do yourself a big favor and invest in a heart rate monitor. It is going to give you the most accurate calories burned. I have a polar FT4 and I do not work out without it on.

After being in a plateau for months I upped my calories and I am losing an average of a pound a week. I know I still don't eat as much as it says I should but I eat till I'm full.

Welcome! MFP is a great site with lots of amazing people on the same journey as you. Feel free to add me. I log every day, I workout almost daily and my diary is open.

You should try taking a new pic once every month or longer. If you do one every week it may discourage you because you probably will not see a big change from week to week. I do mine every couple of months, usually after I have gone to a store and try on a smaller size and it fits! :) I have also posted a horrible pic of…

I can see a big difference. Your arms and look at your lower thigh and knee area! You ROCK! Keep up the GREAT work and I am looking forward to seeing the final results pictures :)

I log everything. I exercise 5 days a week using a treadmill, stationary bike, elliptical and 30ds dvd. I recently increased my calories for the day because I plateaued HARD for almost 2 months. I Have not weighed in since I did that, I wanted to give it a full month (Feb 1st is my first weigh in) The only advise I can…

I agree, you need to talk to your doctor. Even if you did lose that much weight in such a short time that you would be healthy enough for the surgery. Your body is going to be so depleted and is going to have a hard time trying to recover from weight loss and surgery. I wish you all the best and I hope that you will reach…

I have done it 7 times since I bought it. I took a day off after the first workout then did it for 5 days straight and took 2 off. Did it again this morning and I plan on doing it every day from now on. Feel free to add me.

I have the Polar FT-4 and love it! I do not work out without it. I use the fit bit zip all day everyday just to keep track and hit my 10,000 step goal a day.

Just turned 37. By 38 I hope to reach my goal :)

Welcome! Support is very important. Feel free to add me :)

I got the FT4 and it is simple and easy to use! Thank you all. I went online and read reviews and it deserves all the good ones it gets. I used it for the first time today and I love it. I hope to get more out of my workouts now :)

Always looking for support too so please add if you would like.

I don't have any before and afters yet. I want to lose another 10 before I do one. I started at 289 and I am down to 260 now. I am 5'8". I want to lose about the same as you so feel free to add me and we can do this together :) My profile pic shows my progress in pant sizes.

Welcome back. Feel free to add me. I log in daily and try to give as much support as I can.

I understand far too well where you are coming from. I have had 4 surgeries on my back and until this last one I was in serious daily pain. I can say now that I am almost pain free and not taking any medications at this time. I gained almost 100 pounds since 2004. I was in too much pain to exercise, I couldn't walk long…

Oh yeah.....Cheese is my one habit I can't kick. I love plain American cheese and cheddar cheese. Time of month is very hard for me since cheese is the I only thing I crave...I know its weird, most people crave sweets. Like most others here I have also turned to laughing cow cheese wedges. Great snack esp on some low fat…

Welcome. Feel free to add me. Its always more fun with friends supporting you :)

Sent request. If anyone else needs some friends send me a request. :)

Your not alone...Its hard to see the new you. I took a picture of myself front and side view when I started this. I have not looked at them at all. At my 50lb loss mark I will take new ones to see the difference.(we all know how brutally honest pictures can be) Maybe you should do the same. You are accomplishing so much…

24/26 down to an 18/20 and my goal is a 12
