I'm 23 and have one year left of dental hygiene school :)

I am in the same boat but my calories are set at 1490 to lose a pound a week. I just continued on from c25k to 10k and I'm burning 800+ per run. I had a huge dinner yesterday and still didn't get up over 1200. I made sure I had a huge dinner because on Tuesday I only ended up netting 800 including a big serving of ice…

Add me too :)

Oops double post

This is six months of progress. I'd say four of the six months has strictly been running maybe an elliptical or two in there. 27 pounds down.

Congrats!

Thanks so much everyone! Your encouragement means a lot!

Welcome!

I'm going to an all inclusive resort in two weeks where I will not have internet access and will have access to any food or drink I could think of. I hope I know myself well enough to stay in maintenance as well during that week. Thankfully there is a fitness center at the resort so I can help create some sort of deficit.

Last week I realized my wedding rings come off my finger much more easily. Today I bought a dress in a size 12! The last dress I bought was a 16.

I am in dental hygiene school with one year left and feel the same way! This semester, I made working out a PRIORITY! I could have done better than I have been, but 12 hour days of class and clinical really made it hard.

I had eaten like 2000 calories though.

I'm not. I was just curious! I went hiking on Tuesday and I ended up netting like 400 calories for the day and it got me thinking.

Nothing other than I'm a college student on a budget... so the fact its cheap.

This post really makes me wish I didn't donate all my clothes that didn't fit anymore.... congrats though!

Lose 5 pounds and be able to consistently run 5k (my first one is June 1st!)

Age: 22 Height: 5'6'' SW: 182 CW: 164.4 First goal: 160 UGW: 130ish?

I hated running until c25k. (well still kind of dislike that I can't get past week5 day 3-the 20 minute straight of running) The app has helped me get into it and I have never been a runner. Having a plan to stick to helps me push myself and with some good music going on my ipod the time starts to fly by. I also signed…

Northwest Indiana

1. Dental hygiene student 2. I live in the first certified "green" community in Indiana 3. Got married a week and a half after I got engaged 4. I hate my curly hair 5. I have my first 5k on June 1

I am looking to lose about 50 pounds. I am 4 pounds away from my first goal of 160. I started at 182. I have been stuck at 165 for about a month and for the first time in a month I saw the scale move today to 164! DO NOT GIVE UP! It will happen, even if it takes a while. Don't let under 200 freak you out. Keep working hard!

I usually enter the items individually and also try to overestimate since restaurants generally have more calories in their meals.

I just finished day 5 level 1

Sucking on pure sugar is bad for your teeth :/ but yes digestion starts in your mouth!

I'm in!

I just did day 1. My quads are on fire! :)

My husband is Indian so we eat it quite often. There are quite a few dishes on mfp but um sure there's a million variations. Usually when we eat Indian I make a good estimate.

I don't think you are eating enough calories

I am a dental hygiene student! I go to class 5 days a week 8-5 and once a month we have to go on a Saturday.. making time/energy for the gym is difficult.

I started by just jumping into it and running and I eventually ran a mile after about a month. However, I could not consistently run a mile. I've started c25k and have been making good progress on it! I am about to go to Week 4 Day 2 tonight.
