I started running @ 192 lbs... It helps to do lunges and squats. You have to be able to walk a 5k before trying to run. That's how I started. @ that weight my pace was like 18:00!!! Now I weigh 166 average pace is now 13:00. Also start with walking 5 min. and jogging 1 minute intervals or whatever suits you best. It will…

:( my other picture was cut off. I am sorry about that.

i got my running gloves in target. love them

i do strength training about 2 to 3x a week, run 3 to 4x a week or walk. I eat about 1360 plus I eat most of what I burn with my exercises. This month I haven't lost too much weight maybe like 4 lbs so far but i still fit into my size 10 pants, I am about 178 lbs.. So far I am into 5 months. Be patient. Though I notice my…

Yes, drinking lots of water helps. Also you might try to run more often. I'm 180 lbs and I run 3x a week! it has helped me shed lbs. I usually have 1 long run about 3 miles, another run I try to run a hilly path and the last run I add sprints to it. It's been effective. I also train 2x with a trainer.

my calories is about 1420. I would get hungry too when I 1st started with MFP but I do exercise quite a bit. I recently started eating more fruits and vegetables and I started to see the lbs come off. Eat enough fiber to keep you full. There is just so much information about how much carbs and protein to eat. Find what…

I am not an expert in no way form or shape. I still have quit a bit to lose and being 140 is my goal weight, I have about 40 lbs more to go, I have lost 18 lbs so far. Maybe give up the bacon, cut down on beef and on the lattes. What has helped me shed lbs is eating my spinach salad w/ tomatoes, onions, mushrooms, cucumber…

you look amazing!!! Great job

Thanks for checking it out! :) Just trying to take it one day at a time. Slowly but surely........ We all are in the right path.

JANUARY 2010 - NOT SURE HOW MUCH I WEIGHED 215?? AUGUST 2011 - 205 LBS AUGUST 2012 - 189 LBS

I'm sorry. I am new at posting photos. I will try to repost.

wow!!!! that's is great

it is a little bit more challenging but it is possible. It's taken me many years to adjust.

i got a trainer. I have achieve so much with her. I don't think I could've done it on my own. She pushes me to do more and to say I can do this.

That's what I am doing too, counting calories and exercising. I try to motivate, though I have a lot to lose. I started with 58 lbs to lose, now I am about 45 lbs to go.

wow congrats!!! I am running my first 5k event on saturday but I am not fast. Congrats on your hard work!!! That is amazing.

you were beautiful then, you are beautiful now.... Wow Great job on your success!!!!! :)

i do not eat all of it back but I do eat some back since I am hungry after my long walks or my runs. And I have been losing weight. Do no deprive yourself. Listen to your body, if you're hungry eat something (light if you want). Yesterday I went for a long walk, I had 1000 calories remaining. I couldn't possibly eat all…

everytime that you fall off the wagon, you need to get back but take with you the experience. Ask yourself why haven't you logged in to MFP, how did I can weight? and see what patterns to change. I have been on and off the wagon so many times, but each time I get on I try to work on a goal and every time is a different…

i tried one and it is delicious: 1 tbsp Honey 1 tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar 1 tbsp Olive Oil 1/4 cup of Orange juice (from the fruit not from the carton)

your looking toned! great job

change your exercises. if you are doing well with food then it must be the exercising. I've heard you have to change your workouts weekly cause then your body adjusts to it... Keep finding different ways to burn calories

wow!! keep it up!

congrats!!!

also you need to change the way you think. Believe you can do this. You are not destined to be fat. Stop saying such things. You are destined to whatever you put your heart to. You can do this girl!! i had to delete a user cause I couldn't bear to see "fatgirl" everyday. It was causing such a negativity to me. So surround…

Make mini-goals, whatever that is, drinking more water, adding vegetables to the pasta, exercising more etc. Do not be so hard on yourself. You can have that picnic but have portion control of the breads and cheese. If you eat a bit too much, walk an extra mile, etc. Be happy. Change your lifestyle, this isn't about going…

change up your workouts, do some strength training and also change your menu too.

one of my fav is portobello mushroom burger, i grill it with a bit of balsamic vinegrette, and add some whole wheat buns with some goat cheese, spinach, avocado, tomatoes.... it's delicious
