My husband and I took up biking which is really good seeing my husband has had back surgery, knee and ankle surgery so you can lose the weight without running!!!!!

DITTO!!!!! :smile: :smile: :smile:

You can eat healthy at McDonald's but you have to choose to. I am not a big fan of the fast food chains but I luv their ceasar grilled chicken salad with low-fat dressing and only have 230 calories, and then I have the fresh fruit yogurt 150 cals. not to bad for fast food it can be done the choice is ours to make whether…

I started out a year ago eating 1400-1500 calories and hit the gym 4 to 5 days a week and as of today I have lost 60lbs. I am 48 almost 49 years old so it can be done. Sometimes I eat back my calories when I work out other days I do not. Really taking it slow so I hopefully be at my goal weight by my birthday. I started…

If someone could help me with posting them it would be greatly appreciated I'm not very good at this computer stuff sorry!!!! :flowerforyou:

What else can be said but WOWWWWWWW!!!!! what a great idea you are soooo sweet Debbie and thank you for taking the time to do this. I am excited because this month marks a year anniversary of my start date of getting healthy. This Friday I will be posting my complete numbers for this past year and you are so right no…

Agree!!!!! way to few calories and I am 5'6 and my goal weight is 125 so I don't understand why they want to lose more?????

Great article!!! :smile: :smile: :smile:

I don't know how to post pictures but you can go to my page and look under photos. I started at 249lbs. which I was probably heavier but never weighed myself I am 5'6 and I have lost 64lbs and now am in a size 11, I still have 40lbs. to go to reach my goal of 104lb loss but I am getting there slowly. It has only taken a…

Ditto!!!! I've taken them before and trust me it doesn't work. Exercise and calorie deficit is the only way!!!!

Oh my word girl you all look great!!!!!! me and my husband our doing this as well I am 45 lbs from my goal weight and he has lost 70 lbs. I needed to lose 104lbs. soooo glad you shared your journey with us. I know we can do this!!!

You can do this my friend it is truly a matter over setting our minds to doing it. I am almost 50 and I have never had a weight problem growing up, I was always the one built like a brick house but all that changed after I was married and 5 pregnancy's later. I started with my husband who also was almost 300lbs. who's had…

Thank you for sharing, cause I started in March as well 2012 and I workout 5 days a week usually 11/2 - 2 hours a day and have lost 59 lbs. in the same time frame, if you lose that much weight you must be doing something much different than what I am doing.

Once again congratulations!!!!! you look great!!! could you please share with us how you lost the weight in such a short time?? would really love to know the secret :flowerforyou:

Feel free to add me I started out having to lose 104lbs. and I only have 45lbs left, been doing MFP since March 2012. You can see some of my before and after pictures on my page under my picture.

If you can open your diary so I can take a look it would be helpful. It seems to me that 1800 calories is to high if you are that active. I am 5'6 and 48 yrs. old my daily calories are 1580 and I workout 5 days a week 1 1/2- 2 hours a day with cardio and weight training. I am set to lose 1 lb. a week but have been…

Way to go!!!! I am going on 50 and I want to do the same look better than I did in my 40's. You look great and I know I can do this to.

Feel free to friend me I am 48 yrs. old and started MFP in March of 2012. I had 104 lbs. to lose and now I only have 45 lbs. left. It has taken me only 7 months to lose almost 60lbs.

To be honest I really don't think you are wanting a healthy way of life by looking at your diary you are starving yourself and you really need to get some counseling.

Totally agree she needs to get medical help. Will do no good to starve themselves and that is what she is doing. Will be praying for her and her situation!!!

Yes you can lose 12 lbs. and safely, I never starved myself and you can look at my diary just this last month I have lost 11 lbs. with a lot of exercising at the gym 5 days a week. I don't plan on doing that next month but I will do it it gradually.

Totally agree with you 100% I have done the same just track calories and exercise and have no problems seeing the weight come off!!!

You are right on target with this!!!! I couldn't figure out why I was so hungry after dinner and always wanted to eat, then I started looking at my diary and on the days I worked out heavy I wasn't getting enough protein now I don't snack late at night do to being satisfied with enough protein and little carbs. I think the…

I just took a look at your food diary for the past week, there are a lot of days that you show nothing at all for dinner or lunch to eat and I do believe if you are skipping meals you are going to find yourself eating more late at night. I found out for me I was snacking late at night due to not getting enough protein in…

Thank you soooo much for the info.!!!!!! I'm going to try it!!!:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

Very well said Amy!!! we are all in this race together, such a pleasure to have you as a friend!!!!!

Been serving the Lord and saved for 20 years but to make a long story short my husband and I have been married 30 years and been together 32, but he was my high school sweetheart since the age of 16.. He was a drug addict and a alcoholic and we were almost divorced twice. Needless to say God saved him and me and called us…

I agree 100% I feel the exact same way and really is why I started on this journey to getting healthy!!!! I don't want to be bound by my weight and allow it to keep me back from being used by the Lord in a mighty way. Thank you so sharing your thoughts and I will keep you in my prayers as well as others on here.!!!!

WOOOOOOW!!!! what an amazing attitude!!!!! you go girl would love to have you as a friend !!!!! we all need support like this on our journey to getting healthy.

Great advice Stephanie I had 104 lbs. to lose and I took it 10 lbs at a time as well. I am almost to my halfway mark. Congratulations on your 85 lbs!!!!!
