Its certainly healthier to try and eat back at least half of your exercise calories. You might find that your weight loss will slow in any case. During the first few weeks there is a lot of water weight which comes off. After that you'll get a more accurate picture of what your normal loss is. Everyone is different though,…

I think its safe to say, that if you have any significant investment in itunes, then you will eventually end up with an iphone. For me, the fact that it had an ipod inside makes it a winner. MFP app is of course a bonus. I really hope they develop your app soon. The guys here seem to be pretty good.

You'll probably eventually have to give up one day and buy an iphone or Android...... I gave in.

There's a great book you can get from Amazon. The New Rules of Lifting for Women. I did this program and loved it.

Nike+ GPS, tracks your run or walk and lets you know the distance, speed, calories burned. You can also join the Nike+ site and have training program set up or participate in challenges.

I would go the IPOD touch, if you like to have music while you run. There is a Nike+ GPS application, which tracks your run route, speed, elevation etc. I'm sure you can also download training plan apps - check out the itunes store. As well as that you have access to the Nike+ community as mentioned before, where you can…

Why not look up the exercise on MFP and then take the number that is the smallest - to be on the safe side.

Gday from Brisbane. Good luck with your goals. Look forward to hearing what the program is!!!

And with 49lbs lost - this lady knows what she is talking about!!

Good for you. And very nice to get a quick win in the first two weeks to keep you motivated. I am happy for you.

Hi. Don't be discouraged you're doing great! Make sure you are taking measurements too. Its taken me ages to lose my 8 pounds, but I have lost 7cm from my waist and other cm from around hips etc. The gym sometimes makes you retain a bit of water. I know when I have a really hard workout, I can go up a pound or so which the…

I could totally justify a yummy healthy bar at 155 calories... Its sometimes hard to fit them in and still be below calories, but thats where the exercise comes in. If I've eaten everything healthy all day... I'll have whatever I want to eat to use up my exercise calories... Would probably draw the line at pecan pie…

I tried WW too and it worked for a time. When it comes down to it, its still you that has to do the exercise and food planning and tracking etc. No-one can do it for you and I get better support here than at WW.

Yay for MFP and Google adsense!!

Bathe ear with water and dettol.

Wow, thats amazing! Its taken me 55 days to lose 7 lbs!!!

Thats cool! I started the C25K but got waylaid... must pick it up again.

Every day at the same time I weigh myself. In the morning, before anything... stark naked. I only check in the results when I hit a new low.

Hi, I've only been doing this for 6 weeks, but I'm loving the site. You'll get a ton of support on here. A lot of the members have been very successful too - I enjoy reading the success stories - and there's plenty of them for sure. Add me as a friend if you like and we can support each other!

Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle is a great book! I think it must work. Has anyone ever noticed that sometimes after a high calorie day - either by accident or design, that sometimes you then drop a couple of lbs shortly after... its strange.

WOW. You are an inspiration! You must feel SO GREAT right now. Congratulations!

Australians!!! I'm excited to find you! I'm from Brisbane. I've switch my scale to pounds and just measure in that.... the numbers are bigger!! When I've lost a few more I'm going to turn it back to kgs to surprise myself. Crazy heh?

Hi. Welcome to the site and good luck. Sometimes you have to stick with it for several weeks before the results start coming. Stay strong.

Go to the gym and see how you feel when you get there. If its really not working for you then just bail out and go home. This is also what I do when I just plain dont feel like going.

I found the site via the app and 6 weeks later, I'm still on track and LOVING it. I check out the forums using safari also...

Break your Heart - Taio Cruz feat Ludacris

Is anyone still going with couch to 5K?

Welcome!

You look amazing!! Very glamourous and an inspiration. I bet it feels great!! I'm glad you are my MFP friend.

The scale didn't move for me for about the first three weeks. It was disappointing really, because normally you lost quite a bit the first week then it slows from there. Then suddenly.... whoosh 3lbs in the space of a few days. When I look back, I've been doing this for about 6 weeks and have lost 6lbs... averaged out, its…
