Just remember we all have to take one day at time. Some of us do not get to our goal as fast as others do, but we do get there. Just try to stay focus as this is a lifestyle change on going. I'm only losing about a pound a week, but I know if I keep going it will all add up to a big number.

Wow! Great Progress.:smile:

Hi Feel Free to add me as a Friend. I started back on August 17, 2013.:smile:

Thank You ALL, I am motivated, but sometimes you need more than yourself to keep you motivated. I have 50% bending range in my ankle, my doctor said I can have surgery again and she can bend it for me, unless I do a lot of stretching. I do not want to have surgery again. Because the ankle is stiff everyday and cause me to…

You look good. Awesome Job!

I have been working out everyday because of the plates and screws I have in my left ankle and leg from breaking two bones in my ankle in February. If I do not, my ankle will be stiff and I will limp all day when walking. I also have to wear rocker bottom shoe to walk properly. However, today I did not work out at all, felt…

You may need to up your food intake. I'm a WW Life Timer, I find that due my activity I require more calories. In weight loss mode I keep my calorie around 1570, but now I'm in maintenance mode and my calories are at 2070.

Although I stop limping the pain was there for about two weeks. I went to the doctor and they I pulled a ligament and it was inflame. I was put on medication for two week for…

I'm 5' 4" , I currently weight train 3 days a week. My weight is in the 150"s, I have muscle definition in my arms, back, and shoulders.

I work out with a trainer too, I do weight lifting three times a week and cardio five times a week. My scale weigh loss is slow, but I try not to focus on that, I focus on how my clothes fit and my body fat %. Though I would like to lose another 20 pounds I'm in know hurry I will eventually get there. It took me 5 months…

Body Bugg calorie are different. It always says I burned less calories than what's on the machine. I also realize it counts more calorie when you are moving your arm. If your ride a stationary bike, it will count hardly any calories. However, I did it great when you do not have a machine or anything else to calculate your…

I'm 46 and will be 47 in January, I have not let myself go. I'm very active and monitor what I eat daily.

I'm a WW Lifetimer since 1998, I had the same problem. I also got tired of paying for e-tools. I switch to MFP and I love it. I have a lot MFP Friends who supports me. Feel free to add me as a friend.

I have 30 day Shredd, but have not had a chance to do it, since I workout with a trainer 3 days a week, the other days I just focus on cardio. It should be able to do it in a few weeks. Feel free to add me.

I use the hand held body fat machine, the one they use at the healthclub. I bought it off of amazon for under $20.00.

Your Welcome to add me. My group MFP friends are very motivating.:smile:

I had the same problem. I up my calories to 1620. Changed my intake to 40% Carbs, 40% Protein, and 20% fat. I work do cardio 5 days a week and weight training with a trainer 3 days a week. I stop weighing myself, finally after 4 weeks on not weighing myself I step on the scale today and lost 3.5 pounds, My body fat dropped…

You should be taking in one gram on protein per your pounds of weight. For example if you weigh 100 pounds you be taking in 100 grams of protein.

It' a great way to burn a lot of calories in a short period of time. I do it all the time.

Welcome!!:smile:

I think you should weigh yourself once a week. Since I personally do a lot weight training, I do not weight myself anymore, I just measure my body fat and measurements. Since I am transferring fat into muscle, the scale does accurately account for my progress. The way my clothes fit and the definition in my muscles does.

Wonderful, my hair has been growing like crazy since I been eating healthy and exercising. People are commenting how long my hair long my pony tail is. At one time a person thought I had piece on. I said this all my hair. Great News.

You actually need protein to build muscle, which help speeds up your metabolism. You should be getting about 1 gram of protein per body weight.

You should be taking in 1 gram of protein per body weight. I would divide your weight by the number of meals you eat a day. For example if you eat six meals a day and you weight 150 pounds, that would be 25 grams of protein per meal.

Just say positive things to them. You don't want their negativity to rub off on you, so do the opposite let your positive attitude rub off on them. You Go Girl!!
