I lost 30 lbs on Atkins in 2008 but then gradually gained 40 lbs back through the past 5 years. I had low energy especially the first two weeks and my cholesterol went up through the roof. So yeah, the weight went down for a while, but it was not a diet for me forever...

Well I live in Marina, pretty close to Santa Cruz. Not in college, though)) I've been trying to find MFPals from Monterey,but so far nothing...

That is true. When I break some sweat running uphill and lose my breath, it does seem that I burn much more!

Yes I am only covering 2 miles so far but trying to be faster. So maybe the program is not lying!

Thank you everyone! I guess just for the sake of keeping track, I will get a heart-rate monitor. Wouldn't hurt to know for sure)

You look very cute! Happy for your success!

I love myself some inspiration! Isn't it the best to see pounds just dropping off your body after you eat less and work out like crazy? As they say, nothing tastes as good as skinny feels)

Congratulations! 30lbs in 3 months is a fantastic result! Are you just doing diet/exercise or taking any supplements? Either way, keep it up!

Getting married some time early May, very small wedding. No dress yet - will buy it after I lose weight. 189 today, aiming at 150sh by mid April (bachelorette party) Congrats everyone!!

Gorgeous! I am 5'9, too and trying to be in 150's in 6 months. Looking at you, I know I can do it! Thank you!

This really has nothing to do with your weight... I hope you have a family member/friend or a professional to talk to... So sorry

You can totally do it. I am not saying it is going to be easy, but look, soooo many people have done it. What are you, chopped liver?))) I started last week, did run #4 today. It is a bit harder when I run up the hill and the wind is blowing into my face, but otherwise so far quite doable. And it does make me feel really…

Oh yeah... so true!

Thank you , too)

Thanks!!! I'll stop by at Target during lunch - it's just a few block from my work. Yay!

Hi Brandi, Definitely do not beat yourself up. You let yourself go - now pick yourself up. You are on the right path. Finding inexpensive and versatile foods can be challenging. You don't want your food to taste bland, because then the diet will go to waste and you'll turn to donuts or what not. I myself like to get a good…

That's a good idea... Maybe just an extra workout in the morning will be better than under-eating one day, then overeating the next day))

Thank you everyone for your opinion! I just don't understand the negativity in a couple of posts - I simply asked for suggestions... 1,200 calories per day is what MFP suggest I should have to lose a healthy 2lbs per week - just fyi.

Oh man how inspiring! A great spirit in these words! Fantastic!
