I have heard that you need to eat within 1 to 1 and 1/2 hrs of getting up and it needs to be at least 200 calories for it to count as breakfast. I do lose better when I eat breakfast also.

I have only 20 lbs to go and I will be joining you in onederland. It has been 21 years since I have been there. I cant wait to see it again.

Wonderful NSV Denise, I am so proud of you

I am glad you had a good report at the DR. I know some times we need to look at the overall picture to see improvements. People think exercising is easy but man they havent tried it, thats for sure.

I think I have all the pictures fixed now so that you can see them. Thanks for everything, you all are great.

Most of the time people can be so cruel.. When people expect me to fail is when I want to show them the most that I can and I will do this. Dont give up...That is what some people want us to do. I had someone ask me "Are you still doing THAT" Like they thought I would have already giving up and I just get more determined…

I only had to eat more for about 3 to 4 days before the weight began dropping. I was eating 1200 calories a day, and I stayed hungry all the time, plus I had stopped losing and was hitting plateaus for 3 to 4 weeks straight. Once I started eating 1350 to 1450 a day, for 3 or 4 days I went up and then stayed a day or so…

I do mine in publisher putting them side by side and save them as a JPEG so that I can keep them together as one picture. Also, this way you can add text such as pounds.

I was also set to lose 2 pounds a week and only eat 1240. But like you, I stayed hungry all the time. Probably because I was exercising so much I needed more. I changed mine to 1 and 1/2 and it upped my calories to 1520. But I usually stay between 1350 and 1450. I am not hungry much anymore (except around my monthly time)…

Thanks for the recipe. I say that a every calorie saved is less fat at some point. Dont worry about the haters out there. Let them slave for hrs to make cinnamon rolls if they want to. We appreciate you sharing this with us.:smile:

You should take some benedryl right away, just in case you have gotten into something you wasnt aware of. You should go to a Dr immediately because of your trouble breathing.

I was taking womens one a day for weight, but found that this was making me extremely nauseous. Now I take Viactiv Multi Vitamin for women. At first I couldnt tell that it was helping, but when I ran out I could really tell they were and I got some more. They are chewable and the best part is they taste like CHOCOLATE. I…

I gained 6 pounds in 2 days about 2 months ago. I totally freaked out when I saw the scale. But after the 4th day I lost 3 of it and on the 5th day I was back down to normal, plus the 6th day I had lost 3 more. Dont panic just continue on doing all the right things and it will take care of it self.

Nope. dont drink and dont want to. If you are odd then so are the rest of us.

I do believe that would be referred to as circuit training.

In the morning without clothes, and after my time in the bathroom

I only wear dresses or skirts and blouses. I do go to thrift stores, but sometimes it is hard to find anything in the larger sizes. I cant wait until I get into some smaller sizes because it seems like everyone has the little clothes. I went yesterday and ended up crying my why home. I saw quite a few things in 2X and 3X.…

I dont do facebook. MFP is it for me, to me facebook is so dramatic.

For the price of shops around us you might as well buy new stuff

Yes, This is a cool site. The answer to this question is debatable. Many would say eat the 1500, that you need to net 1200. I personally think this depends on the person. I have seen some people gain when they eat their exercise calories back. Try it both ways and see what works best for you.

This is about a three week problem so far. I want to be healthy, but when you are doing things right and nothing works what do you try next.

I havent but I have a friend on here who has changed hers.

Occasionally I do DVDS but I mostly walk and I have been losing. Some weeks I lose from 2 to 4 pounds and some weeks just a little over 1 pound but I dont care how long it takes I will lose this weight. Even if I have to walk every day. LOL

The one I bought I got at Target. It is a New Balance N4 Model and cost $69.99. You program it with your age and heigth, Male or Female etc. It comes with a chest strap that you wear under your clothes right where your bra passes at, and it also comes with the watch. Then when you get ready to exercise or at any time you…

I wish you the best in your weight loss journey. :smile:

I bought a New Balance N4 from target. I will say that it is the best thing I ever purchased. I use it every day and absolutely love it. I am burning way more calories than what MFP says that I am burning. and I love the fact that I know exactly what I am burning not just an idea based on someone else. We are each…

I am over 40 and my starting weight was 311 pounds. I have lost 62 pounds so far. I realize that I still have a long way to go to get to my goal weight. But I have noticed that even after losing the 62 pounds I really dont have alot of loose or saggy skin. If you exercise and tone up as you lose you shouldnt have a big…

I bought a Heart RateMonitor at target and I use it when I do Zumba. I knew I was Burning More calories than MFP said and I was.

Congrats Dee, I am very proud of you very hanging in there. It is very hard work to lose weight, but no one ever told us that it would be easy, right. You can do it.
