I am stunned at how incredible your transformation is. If you were to check the last thing I searched on Google, you would find "how to stop binge eating" and that was less than thirty minutes ago. Then after logging in to MyFitnessPal, I come across your story. You are SUCH an inspiration. I will remind myself of your…

I placed two five pound dumbbells on the non-digital scale and read ten pounds exactly so that 's the accurate one. I'm going to continue using the digital scale to track my weight loss, since it is more exact but I'll keep in mind that it is 6.2 pounds less than my actual weight. Thanks everyone!

I disagree! Although you aren't burning nearly as many calories at the beginning of the program as you are at the end of the program, it most definitely can work as an aid to weight loss. Just make sure that you are logging your food and eating at your suggested calorie level. Any bit of exercise will help when you're just…

For me, running works the best for losing weight. I completed C25K last Summer and it was wonderful! I never, ever thought I could become a runner! If you're using the same program I did, which has you run 3 days a week, I would suggest doing some other exercise on your day off that involves some sort of weight training. I…

Thanks everyone! I think for now I'm going to stick to my MFP Recommendations. Once I start approaching my goal weight I'll think more about trying to gain some muscle!

I would do whatever works best for you! I'm just getting back on track this week after maintaining for a couple months and my goal is 1250 calories a day, but I usually dip into my exercise calories. That's how I lost twenty pounds a couple months back so I'm sticking with it. I am hungry a lot but having to stay within…

Thank you everyone for you advice and comments! This reassured me that everyone is built differently. I suppose I will just have to see what happens! I know my boyfriend will be fine either way. & honestly it is more important for me to be comfortable in my own skin. I'm sure he won't be complaining when I'm rocking a…

I have already lost about .5 to 1 cup size already so hopefully I won't lose anymore. If I do, I do and I'm sure my boyfriend with love me just the same! Congrats on your weight loss by the way. That's awesome!

Great post!

Nothing yet today but yesterday I had a slice of Marie Calendar's Chocolate Silk Pie which is majorly calorie dense and some chocolate covered sea salt caramels!

I have only worked out in the morning a couple of times but I do find that the earlier I workout the more energy I have. I change into my workout clothes as soon as I get home, which is around 3:00 or 3:30, or else I won't get it done. I tend to dread it though throughout the day and since it has gotten colder my energy…

I'm in! I'm currently 183 and I hope to be well in the 170s by the time Christmas rolls around. I'm going to Disney World the first week in December and I WILL be indulging and I'll have to correct any weight I will mostly likely gain.

This definitely saddens me. I've been considering a food scale for a while now, mostly for chips, crackers, meats, cereals, etc, but it scares me to think how much peanut butter I'm actually eating. I have apple slices with peanut butter every day, and usually use a measuring spoon or sometimes I guesstimate. I have been…

I used to be so obsessed with that song!

One of my favorite songs is Black Flies by Ben Howard (who is one of my all time favorite singers) and I've been listening to a lot of The Neighbourhood lately.

I definitely have the mindset that less calories= more weight loss. I'll have to teach myself that I need to fuel my body!

Okay, I increased my calories to 1500 for now. Maybe I'll try 1500 for Month One and then 1700 for Month 2. Thanks for your advice!

Happy, friendly, and organized!

I've been in a very similar situation to you. I've weight cycled my whole life. I'll save you all the details but I got down to my lowest weight in 2011, then gained 10 pounds that Christmas. Long story short, I ended up gaining nearly 70 pounds because I was so upset with myself for gaining the first ten. After getting to…

Western New York!

That's an awesome accomplishment! Good for you!

Starting Weight- 205 Current Weight- 186 Goal Weight- 135

I did the fit test today, so tomorrow starts my actual workouts. Anyone can feel free to add me for accountability or support!

Today I sliced an apple up and dipped it in about 1.5 Tablespoons of natural peanut butter, I had carrot sticks and cucumbers with light ranch and some pretzels.

Thanks! :smile:

Definitely!

Thanks for the advice!

Yepp, I have to say I'm very guilty of this. It's my biggest obstacle.
