being realistic in goal setting. I know try to lose 1 pound every week not more than that, because at some point I overdid my exercise and had all leg pain and eventually had to stop. I drink lots of water, take stairs when I can. Also it is important to realize where is your weak point, mine is dinner and late night…

my husband walks a few miles a day just walking while talking on phone. try to walk whenever possible, take the stairs rather than elevator.

realistic goal (based on my weight loss so far): 9 lbls wishful goal: 15 lbls

1- latte with non fat milk , I'm a huge coffee lover, so I prefer having latter than other snacks, plus it fills me up and I feel less hungry 2- vegetables and hummus (carrot, celery, grean beans) 3- Snapea crisps (only 100 calories) it's basically green peas chips, much healthier that potato chips 4- almonds, and…

I love frozen fruit, specially cherries and blackberries. I mix them with nonfat greek yogurt and there you, a satisfying dessert after dinner. I also like to pack some raisins and have them with my tea or coffee or just when I crave for sweets. dark chocolate is an awesome idea if you are craving for chocolate. Also once…

awesome! I want to be part of it too.

im in for 200 miles in SEPT

I lost a pant size after just losing 10 pounds or so. I started at 240, so 10 pounds was not much change in the weight, however I did a lot of excercise and that made me smaller. I am completely a different person now with just 22 pounds lost. Take progress pictures, pictures won't lie :)

my highest intake days are around when my period starts. I feel weak, hungry and exhausted all the time. So end up not excercising on those days and eat a ton of sweets and salty snacks. My highest day on MFP was 2600 or around that.

Congrats to all. You are all doing great!

that's awesome

of course you look different. Your arms, chest and waist is smaller in the second one. You look great

22 lbls difference

I grew up in a home with rice being the main starch. I love the taste of white rice much better, but even they are not nutritionally that different, brown rice fills me up much faster than white and for that reason I'm gonna stick to brown rice.

I'm down 22, wanna lose 65 to get in healthy range, and afterwards around 20 more to get into sexy range. feel free to add me

I want to be in my size 14 pants. Hopefully in onederland too. I'm currently 218 and wear size 16.

lots of at home video excercises on youtube. try out Leslie Sansone's walk away the pounds. 30 day shred of Jillian Micheals looks to be effective to so many people here. When walking outside, try to get your heart rate up by walking in faster pace. Dance with your kids! just get moving and eat healthy. I do weight…

I see. thanks all for clarifying this. I have another question. Does weight lifting with high body fat interfere with weight loss? Since I started weight lifting I haven't lost much weight but lost inches. how do you explain that? I'm just curious about whats happening.

so if we don't gain muscle on the deficit, why do people keep saying start strength as soon as possible to help weightloss? If I won't add muscle while losing fat, what's the point of training with weights?

I also started yesterday. The photos are so encouraging and I am looking forward to finishing all 30 days.

I also use dumbells only. I follow this program and am extremly happy with the results. Note that you may not lose much on scale for the first few months, but you'll get smaller and it's totally worth it. http://weighttraining.about.com/od/succeedingwithweights/a/home_dumbbell.htm

I have a Polar FT7 Women's HRM. I don't know how accurate it is, but I know the calories burnt is far off what MFP reports. There are times MFP says I burned 900 calories while my HRM reports 200 burnt calories. In that sense I think it's a good investment.

if you are walking, standing most of the day, you are in an active (semi-active) job. Definitely fit strength training in your schedule for better results.

hi Ritch I am currently 219 and 5'4. I have a lot of extra fat to burn, that I know. but I started a program with dumbells and I absolutely love it. I do the following program 3 days a week: Shoulder squats Bent-over rows bench press Arm curls Lunges Triceps extensions Crunches Lateral raises Overhead press I started from…

What's the rush? If you can lose slow and steady the healthy way why would you want to lose so fast?

anyone?

I have logged all my my food and drinks (excluding water) for more than 100 days. :)

I love my fitbit one. Also I have a polar HRM which I use when lifting.
