Don't give up! If you want to lose the weight, do what it takes. I HATE exercise. I started out a month ago on MFP thinking I"m only going to change my diet, I can lose the 30-40 pounds doing this, no exercise. I noticed some changes, yeah, but then I thought about it, I want to notice changes faster. I can do this! I have…

Way too fat

I have a facebook friend/old schoolmate who is a BeachBody Coach and has contacted me SEVERAL times about trying it, sending me a free sample, etc and all the amazing results she has gotten. I believe it is her full time job as well. She ended up recruiting another classmate of ours, who is now also contacting me to tell…

38 next month. ouch. :)

Yikes!! I am for sure going to be double checking everything I have when I order out now.

So, if I walked 2.5 miles and generally 1 mile equals 100 cals, than that seems right. My GPS gave me the same total as MFP too. Who knows. I'm so freakin confused..and discouraged now. Disappointed with some of negative vibes about how wrong I am about everything..just trying to learn.

If you are fitter than I am, I think you would have to run longer/faster to burn more calories than me?

I use a TomTom GPS watch that tells me based on my age, and the distance I travel and speed how many calories I've burned. How would this be inaccurate?

Bean Burrito w/ Cheese (Choose a soft flour tortilla filled with seasoned beans, shredded cheddar cheese, onions, and mild taco sauce) 6.6 oz 15 53 12 8 380 cal This is what I looked at. Calorielab.com/restaurants/taco johns. I just walked 2 1/2 miles on my lunch, burned 260 so I'm good now. Still a lesson learned from me.…

Yeah, it was a week ago. ha ha. I was only thinking about it today because friday is the only day I let myself have takeout., and was thinking, hey, that was such a low calorie yummy option I might have that again. NOT. Ugg. What if I hadn't eaten that, would I have lost more weight last week? I'm a freak, I worry about…

I was on the verge of ordering the shakes (ouch to the wallet) but at the last minute decided to save my money and try eating healthier, watching calories and intake and exercising. I am glad I did. It's only been 2 weeks but I am noticing subtle changes already and am still eating most of what I want, only much smaller…

I work at a desk job. I try to walk anywhere and everywhere I can possibly find a reason to go to. Lots of "bathroom breaks" where I walk to the furthest location. I also carry my restraint band in my purse and stand up 2-3 times a day, put in around my ankles and do leg lifts while I am working to get some strengthening…
