I'm 4'11. I've been logging for about 280 days. I started at 196, I"m currently at 160. Slow, but it's starting to show.

Before: During:

Definitely in progress. Still have quite a bit to go. I've lost since this picture. Starting weight 196, current weight 170.4.

Hope this works. 25 pounds down, still 46 to go. Work in progress.

Let's see if this works. 10/2012 and yesterday

I think it also depends on what kind of weight loss plan you are following. Like weight watchers, a lot of the veggies are free, so if you know it's a free veggie and you don't feel like logging it, don't. I would think just out of habit, logging it would keep you in that habit and you can see exactly what you're taking…

I've always been told to add the calories I burn during exercise and eat them back. I have done this the last 3 months and have successfully lost weight.

You're doing great, ad 18 pounds is fantastic. I've lost almost the same and I felt it wasn't much, but it really is. Congrats

You all are AWESOME. When I'm feeling down, there are all of YOU to help me up. Thank y ou.

My husband 'complimented' me this morning, at least I'm sure he meant it as a compliment. He said, you're losing, I can tell, I"ll be able to pick you up in no time. lol. Great.

Gotcha, didn't realize you were comparing it to something else and not just how mfp suggests to do it.

Absolutely, why wouldn't you? Calories are calories. If you don't log them, what's the point in logging anything?

I'm not sure if this will work, my first picture. I"m going into my 3rd month. I've only lost 12 pounds, but I feel a lot better. Not much difference in the pics that I can tell

I'm 4'11 with 70 pounds to lose, add me if you'd like.

My nephew told me to try kale chips, so I bought some to try. I've never eaten kale before. You all are getting me excited about fruit. Looks like a dehydrator is in my future!

sweet potato chips sound really good. I never thought about trying it out in the oven first.

I think bananas would be pretty good. I'm trying to justify spending the money on one. :glasses:

I'm sitting at work in a room with 4 other people besides myself, and I stopped everyone just so I could read this statement. I will now refer to my daughter as my beloved crotch fruit lol

I should have just run over his little bmw with my charger, but I played nice.

I took it about 10 years ago and lost 30 lbs relatively quick. I can't take it now as I get very jittery, I"m unable to swallow and it has caused me to have a problem with heart palpitations even now 10 years later.

I switch it up from turkey/ham and roasted chicken with pepper jack cheese. Then I get spinach, onion, pickle, tomato. Sometimes I have them sprinkle some black pepper. I never get any dressings.

What really bothered me today as I was pulling into the gym, was someone who had to hurry and pull in front of me, came so close to hitting someone that she dropped her stuff, just to get a close parking spot. It's a GYM, a little walk won't hurt you.

5 days a week.

Everyone looks FANTASTIC!! I can't wait to have a success story and can post a picture.

My new favorite snack is a handful of Emerald Cocoa Roast Almonds Dark Chocolate flavor. They are HEAVEN. I get my sweet and healthy at the same time.

I do. I work out 9:30-11:30am and work 1:30-9:30pm

I drive 40 minutes one way to the gym 5x/wk. I don't care the distance, I need it.

Great Thread. I've been going to the gym for 3 weeks now. My first day was HORRID. I didn't know what I was doing, I hurt, I had no endurance on any machines. Just know it does get easier, I promise. I have never stuck to the gym before. Now I crave it. Turns out I wasn't doing the right machines for me, nor did I stick to…

Hi Mike, welcome.

Lately I've been listening to classic rock, which is a nice pace for me. Sometimes I'll put on stand up comedy, but found people looking at me when I'd literally laugh out loud. Every once in a great while I'll turn on a show, usually series since the machines at the Y have 30 minute limits. Its just the perfect amount of…
