Well I am just using this website and staying within my calories. I haven't taken anything as far as a diet plan. I would say I changed my life. I don't eat fast food, and if I do, I know what I can eat before I go. When I go out to eat, I always look to see what I can eat prior to going out. I work my tail off in the gym…

From tying my shoes, to walking to class, to keeping up with my 10 month old nephew that just started walking, to carrying my stuff to my bedroom at my parents house. Everything in life is easier. My brother said I don't waddle like I used to either!!!!!! I feel AMAZING!!!! I love myself too!!!!!!!!!

I feel so blessed by the people on here, and I could not be where I am today without all of you! The thing that has amazed me the most is that this has been in a little under 4 months. I feel like I am not even trying, and the weight is just coming off. I hadn't planned on the weight loss to be this quick, but I will take…

Thank you! As you can tell, I still have a lot of weight to lose! But this helped re-energize me!!!!!!!!!!

I didn't run 2 miles, but I did run for 3 minutes nonstop. I know how you feel, and it is amazing!!!!!!! Good luck on the 5K!!!!!!

Thank you for the encouragement! I think I will have my sister help me take some pictures of front and side profiles. I definitely feel like a million bucks, that is no doubt. There are days I think I can see the weight loss in my face, then there are other days where I don't think I can see anything. I am down almost 2…

I have found that what motivates me is the feeling that I get after I work out. I also continue to tell myself, the more times I go to the gym when I really don't feel like it, the more it will just be something that I accept instead of dread! I just ran for 3 minutes straight on the treadmill tonight. I don't even…

Thank you all for your help! I have no tolerance for alcohol, so I can get a good buzz going with 5 beers! Totally fine with beer! That might be the drink of choice! Thanks again!

Thanks! Good luck with your trainer as well! I know that my brother will push me. He has lost a lot of weight, and we have both struggled with weight our whole lives. I don't know if I could ever do this without the love and support of my friends on MFP though! Without it, there is no way this would happen!

Oh my goodness! I would love personal training for 12 weeks! I would be so pumped! My little brother and I go to the same college and he is a Health and Human Performance major; he said that he would be willing to help me out! He likes to bulk up, and I just want to tone up. I told him that I don't want to be the…

Even on my "not-so-good/bad" days, I always log, no matter what! I have found that when I weigh, even though the scale might show more or the same, I still track that I weighed myself! Keeps me motivated! So do the wonderful people on here. I appreciate all of my support!

Well I will strive for 1600 calories a day and eating some of my exercise calories back! I want to thank everybody for their help/encouagement! I appreciate it!

Thank you for the ideas! Just frustrated is all!

Any ideas on this?

I as well have over 100 pounds to lose. I didn't think I would be able to afford healthy food either. But I just go buy fresh fruits and veggies, and eat those instead of going out to eat. I can actually eat/buy more with not eating out and buying junk food! I think of it this way, I have lost 24.8 pounds so far, and I…

Well I would like to lose at least 184 pounds! So I definitely have the weight to lose! I am nervous! Yesterday I only ate 1126 calories! Hope my body doesn't go into starvation mode over that! I have already lostv 24.8 of the pounds I wish to lose!

I will tell you, I used a wheat tortilla shell, and put sauce, fat free cheese, turkey pepperoni, green pepper, mushrooms, olives, and onions on mine! Baked it at 350 and OMGOODNESS, heaven in my mouth for a low amount of calories!!!!! I never thought there could be a low calorie pizza! I know it is amazing!!!!!!! I will…

Thank you!!!!! Didn't think about the water weight! I wish the scale wasn't so tempting! My boyfriend tells me the same thing about not weighing everyday! It was a relief when I was at his house last weekend and had no access to a scale! Got on the scale again Monday morning, and I had last 3 pounds! Thank you for the…

So there really isn't a bump button or anything, it just takes the topic back to the top?

How do you bump stuff? And what exactly does that mean? Because I see recipes I want to try, then I lose them! Does bumping them save them?

Tryingthis tonight! Boyfriend is a bit skeptical to try it! Hope I prove hime wrong, seems like it will be good to me!!!!
