  • Great work on that 49lbs. I have had the same thing happen in the past but mine was at a certain weight. It seemed like it took forever to hit 185. I would get to 186 and then shoot back to 188. I finally changed my routine and showed that 185 who was boss. Now I am around 175-177 and not really "concerned" with the weight…
  • Great work! Congrats on sticking with it and for sharing your success with us!
  • I would use 2 miles as you starting point and increase your distance 10% each week. You will be tempted to run as much as your body will let you, but increasing too much in a quick time can cause some problems in the long run. Speed will normally come as you increase your distances and once your endurance also gets better.…
  • Agree with carroll - Starting off and even for the novice it is important to make sure you are at least giving your body a day for rest and recovery. Some would say you are resting and recovering while you are sleeping... to each his own. I usually get in 5-6 days of workout a week. This will include a 1 hour session of…
  • Great work! You have to make the time for yourself as you stated. There are 24 hours in a day and it only takes 4% of that day to make a difference. Keep it up!
  • No work! Glad to see your dedication and hard work paid off!
  • Thanks! I appreciate it.

  • I like watching YouTube videos of transformations! This usually does the trick to give me that little extra motivation.

  • Thought I was the only one that did that? Lol. I have been very bad in the past by weighing every morning, after I eat breakfast, after a workout, and on and on. I have learned that if you follow your workout plan and log your food, the pounds will come off. Most people recommend you weigh 1x a week just to track your…
  • I agree. People look at you like you are crazy. Which may be true. I have no problems losing weight on the foods I eat, I just need to look for a few more healthier options or at least make healthier choices with the types of foods I currently eat.
  • Wow! Talk about discilpine! No way I could ever get to that point, but may consider expanding my options. Thanks.
  • Sounds like you've been watching me eat!
  • All views are more than welcome. I would say you are correct. There is nothing dealing with medical, religious, etc that is causing me not to eat the foods other than the fact that I choose not to for whatever reason. Changing a lifestyle of over 28 years if beyond easy but who said it was easy. I would not say that I am…
  • Thank you all for the feedback. I know it is a tough road and old habits are hard to break. It's weird to think that I "don't" like a food just because the way it looks!
  • Welcome to MFP. I am new here myself but have enjoyed every minute of it. Be sure to connect with individuals that are going to motivate you along your journey. Good luck.

  • When you go to enter your food -> search, right next to the search is a ### sign, hit that and read the barcode.

  • Welcome :-) From what I can tell, there are tons of great people and an abundance of information here at your fingertips. Take it 1 day at a time and before you know it, you will be reaching your goals. Try to set small goals at first so you do not get discouraged.
