Ohh...where is where is the thread about the girl who was going to have the doctor shift fat from her stomach to her butt?!

Unfortunately you can't spot reduce any one particular area. Weight will fall off the way it wants to. The other thing is I can tell you do 15 minutes on the stairmaster, 15 mins of the elliptical, 15 mins on the treadmill and 15 mins of weights but if you hate all of those things then it won't work for you. Try the…

Comparing myself to others...BIG No No!

Honestly I eat something sweet almost everyday, whether it's some gummy bears or some hard candy, a piece of chocolate or a piece of cake. If I tell myself No, I can't have it then I want it. Why? because we all want what we can't have. So just fit it in. Buy smaller servings. Have some, drink some water and walk away for…

SW:220 lbs CW:159.6lbs GW:154 Weigh in dates: Start (3/1 Tuesday) 159.6 3/5 Sat: 157.8 3/12 Sat: 156.4 3/19 Sat: 157.2 3/26 Sat: End of month (3/31 Thursday): Total weight lost: 2.4lbs... It's "that time" so I'm up some, should even itself out next week. :smirk:

Big accomplishment! Congrats!

I've been a member on and off since 2012. My top weight I was around 220lbs. I'm 5'2". For me there was no magic formula and no quick fixes. It's slow and steady with tons of victories as well as disappointments. I have lost, gotten away from the site, gained and come back. I've done this many times. My lowest weight was…

This post was excellent! Not knocking any one else's successes but so many times you hear about how someone lost 100 is 6 months or 9 months. Sometimes it's discouraging and makes you wonder "what's wrong with me?" How come I'm not losing like that? This was so encouraging to let people know that this is a process, this a…

We try, we fail, we try, we fail, we try again. We're human. I say that to say Congrats on trying again. I also say that to say you're only a failure when you stop trying so don't say it's the final attempt, you're attempting again and hopefully it is for the last time. I wish you success!

I'm 5'2". I topped out around 220lbs, I'm now 157, got 20 more to go to goal weight but this was last weight standing in 1 leg of a pair of shorts I used to wear.

Nothing is 100% accurate. I go mainly by my heart rate monitor because it has all my stats keyed in (height, weight, age) If it's different from MFP I either split the difference or use the lower number.

I like them. very handy, not too bad tasting. I only replace one meal with it though or drink one right after a heavy workout. That's about it. It's 170 calories, about the same as if I ate a bowl of oatmeal so I can't say it's what I needed to lose weight. It's just a good substitute when I'm on the go or when I'm below…

Do I HAVE to weigh my food? Is losing 1lb a week normal? Is losing 10lbs a week normal? I sit in a chair all day, does that mean I will Never lose weight? It can't be the booze, can it? Eating after 6pm? Eating after 7pm? Eating after 8pm? :# :p >:)

I don't like oatmeal but I love Cream of Wheat

Believe in the process and have patience! Ive done all the quick fixes, none of them work long term. Doing this will not have you losing 10lbs a week but you will lose 10lbs+ for a lifetime!

Don't set yourself up for failure. The weight will come off. Be patient and believe in the process. You haven't given any good reason to eat that low of calories. I'm 5'2" 157 and I eat 1300 cals!

Yep, I just exercise through it. Actually makes cramps easier to deal with

Have you tried the 100cal chips ahoy snack packs?

Most supermarkets sell half a dozen eggs for about $0.79? 2 eggs for breakfast, 2 for lunch, 2 for dinner. Just fix them different ways. Bananas are usually $0.59 a lb. Just break off 1 or 2 from the bunch and weigh it. U could probably squeeze in 1-2 small bananas for about $0.20 cents. That'll be your snack. Actually you…

definitely watch for those calories burned estimates. I wear a heart rate monitor at the gym. It syncs to teh treadmill or the elliptical. At the end of the session, my HR monitor may say I burned 275cals in 30 mins but the treadmill will say 180cals in 30 mins and when I work out the #s using formulas I get about 255cals.…

Lil confused, Are you trying to lose 20lbs in 21 days???

If you use the bathroom as soon as you finish eating you won't gain weight.. Funny enough a guy I was dating in college told me the same thing about sex and pregnancy... :warning: BTW, Neither are true :hushed:

This week I haven't seen a loss. Whenever that happens I do to things. #1 Look at my diary #2. Look at my calendar. It's either I didn't have enough of a deficit or it's "that time" Either way, I don't panic I just keep moving forward and make small corrections when I need to

Yeah, no, probably not. Running nor walking is not going to build muscle.

Nothing is wrong with you. The only factor you haven't taken in account is your eating. You're consuming more calories than you are burning, bottom line. Give this site a try for AT LEAST 45 days. Log everything, be honest with yourself and have patience. I promise you will see results!

My husband met me when I was still around 200lbs, not my top weight but for 5'2" still pretty big. At first I was nervous bc the previous relationship the dude told me one night that he wasn't attracted to me and he never dated anyone as big as me, I was around 220lbs.- Totally crushed my spirit.. But my husband, the 1st…
