Bumping to see what is suggested. I am looking into strength training too but nervous as I havent the slightest idea where to start and making sure i have proper form.

^ Totally agree!! Did it today on the treadmill!

Awesome job!!! Love the way you changed your way of thinking!! Keep up the great work and spirits :)

Ahahahaha LMFAO!

Wow im curious to know the thoughts too. Never heard of this before.

Holy shat! Im gonna have nightmares after seeing that....

Wow congratulations!! Very happy for you both! Its great that what you did to make your lifestyle healthier was passed on to your husband! I wish you both all the very best! :)

<----Thats is my sweetheart Winston...Great Pyrenees! He is about 14mnths in my profile pic!! Best dog ever!!

Canadian as well! Feel free to add would love to be of support!! :)

I have anxiety/depression. Sugar/caffeine DEFINITELY trigger symptoms related to my condition. It has been recommended that sugars and caffiene be reduced as much as possible. I know when I have taken in too much of these because I will get very depressed or start to have panic attacks. My body is at the point it rejects…

Good question....I am trying to find the same answer. I hope someone can help in this area! Good luck on your weight loss goals, I wish you all the best!

Excellent. I find that now I am exercising more and even eating back my calories I am still hungry, like you said my calories currently being set at 1380 without exercise is too low. I will try the increase. Thank you so much :)

Good question, would love to know the answer as well considering the same happens with me lol!

OMG you look FANTASTIC!!! I am glad i read this post too. I can see that it is achievable and we can do it with hard work! Thank you to the original poster and you for sharing your story!!!

I am sure it is. I went through this before and was told the inches can come off and if the scale doesnt budge it eventually catches up. I generally loose inches first, I got alot of compliments about loosing "weight" but the scale barely moved. Dont get discouraged keep going and it will all fall into place :)

The calculations are from a fitgirl website. I am not sure how to work MFP completely yet so I dont know where to find the TDEE here. I am so lost with all these calculations however I see so many posts about this and I want to be in the right direction. People weigh weekly and I know this week there hasnt been a change.…

I am so sorry to hear this. How awful. My love, prayers and thoughts go out to this family and their little boy. Let there be a miracle for him.

Wow had no idea!!!! Awesome post!! Thank you!!

Frozen yogurt! OMG Yummmm!!!

I LOVE adding lemon to my water!! I pretty much drink one bottle of lemon water ( I put half a lemon in the first bottle) and after I may have plain water or just a touch of lemon.

I am right with you on this one!! Hopefully someone can help us with this. I had gained over 70lbs, I was on 6 medications and aftermuch research and my doctor finally admitting it, it completely shut my body down and I feel like I have to restart my body in the sense of burning fat and having a higher metabolism. I have…

I am one of those people where when I have started something new and made drastic changes it can take about a month and a half until it shows. Its discouraging for sure but once you notice the difference its wonderful. I also agree with measurements. Definitely do that...works better for me in the beginning, I loose inches…

Agree with this completely. There was a time when I was waking up in the middle of the night hungry! It was also suggested to me that if I have the calories eat them up or save some for before bed. At those times I would eat something like fruit/vegtables/yogurt etc.

Awesome thank you everyone!

Add me in!!! I am looking to get back into running and would love the tips and motivation!! Thanks a bunch :)

I once posted the exact same thing on here lol. What one person said to me has really stuck with me and it was "Dont Think, Just Do It". So as much as I would normally turn the alarm clock off and convince myself I was too tired I just get up and go. It takes a bit to get used to but its true, dont think about it, just do…

Have you ever had stretch marks? Even if they dont go away completely they still can shrink significantly and for anyone who has stretch marks would be greatful for even that. With the cellulite, sure it may not go away completely as well but like you said you can reduce the apperance which is another great victory for…

I have them and LOVE them!!

^^AGREED!! I feel the same way as you. I never struggled with motivation and happiness. I worked out every morning, ate well was at a great weight until I got sick. I have 80lbs roughly to loose. I was on 6 different medications and the weight continued to add up. I have stretch marks on my stomach, cant fit into clothes…

There are times I enjoy running and times I find it boring. In order to enjoy the run I have to envision myself succeeding in some way. Weird maybe but it works. I usually think of myself in a soccer game/hockey game and it pumps me up.
