Welcome, you'll find this is a very useful tool - and the community is very supportive. Good luck.:wink:

Good for you! Nice to be rewarded for your efforts. Consistency pays off!

I've got the same problem, but am staying the course, probably just a adjustment period. You are definitely not alone. Yesterday, I was complaining that I had 'stalled' -- my husband came back with, "No, you're just idling." I like that, and as silly as it sounds, it helped! continued good luck.

Good for you, you look great!! Stick with it, your success is motivating!

I wouldn't obsess so much about the calorie deficits being detrimental. As long as you're getting at least 2000 cals a day, you WON"T be going into starvation mode. It sounds like you put on muscle easily, so cutting out a few extra calories will help shedding fat. The other problem with working out 'hard' for your weight…

Woo Hoo, what a great feeling -- more ways than one. Make good use of something you already own AND verification your work and dedication are paying off! Good for you. Sorry about your father's passing, these sorrows manifest themselves in ways we aren't even away of. Paying attention to your own health is a worthy tribute…

Welcome, good luck on your journey. This is a GREAT app, and such a useful tool. You'll really find it handy. And the community is fabulous -- lots of good topics, perspectives and great success stories. Enjoy!:smile: :smile:

Way to go, you seem to really have a great, committed attitude. I'd recommend making sure you are getting enough calories, but cut out ALL processed foods for a little while and see what difference that makes. I think you'd be surprised. Noodles, bread, crackers along with all the 'convenience' foods we eat are soooo laden…

What a nice idea, so often we focus on our goals and successes that we ignore that there is a whole different world out there. Great sentiment and great idea. 'Tis the season after all.

I've never really heard or that, but on 'Biggest Loser' they seem to focus on per centages, at a much quicker pace. Sounds like its working well for you, so if it works -- use it. Good for you. Keep up the good work! :smooched:

Good Attitude! It's amazing how much difference the way we look at things makes. Much success to you!

Way to go, good for you! You've got a great attitude and sense of reality -- that's most of the battle, mindset. Although, its also nice to see that hard work pays off! Keep at it.

Sounds really good, and perfect for this time of year -- when its nice to have the oven on. I love dishes like that where you've got plenty of leftovers, making future meals much quicker and easier. Thank you for sharing. :smile: javascript:add_smiley('smile','post_body')

Good for you, way to go! It's fun to be a star -- I can tell you are because you are just beaming!

I also use the HIIT system, that really helps me look forward to the lower intensity times so I can catch my breath and gear up for the next intense burst. Also, I wouldn't worry about looking like a crazy person -- it will be worth it when you're looking like a slim, sexy, healthy person.

Sounds wonderful, and the perfect time of year too! Thank you for sharing.
