Very impressed!! Way to go!! :)

That's brilliant!! Can see the huge change...well done!!! :) thanks for the much needed inspiration

it's taken me close to 9 months to loss my 21 pounds, but I fell off track in between for 6 months due to a personal loss. So lets say 3 months of dedicated effort... :) Good luck to you!

Thanks everyone...very good to know all your thoughts...i will go the moderation way. I feel better and more cheerful and being happy and positive is important in this journey. It is encouraging to know that people have lost weight using the moderation method. To cut out certain food works for a lot of people as well...so…

That is AWESOME progress! Really cool...you must be so proud! Congratulations and thanks for the inspiration!

Really happy for you! I was so excited that i fit into an XL t shirt rather than my usual XXL..so i can imagine how much more excited you are...keep it going! :)

I was hoping to see more rewards lists :-) it's fun! And I've printed mine out so I can stay motivated...!

Modified jumping jacks for me...I can't breathe if I do them the correct way. I try...but will take it easy...and build my stamina as I lose weight. The water part is working well...

Hello! I joined in November 2012 and am looking for people who I can support and those who will support me as I try to get from 180 to 115 (I have lost 7 pounds since I joined). I am 5 feet, 29 and have a 11.5 month old who keeps me on my toes. I work from home as well so lots to balance :-) I do post daily and have an…

water in progress, jumping jacks first set done!

This is fun and motivating. LOVE IT! So here goes....hmmmm... Starting weight: 187 Current weight: 180 so I am due for a reward soon :-D 175: Lush bath and body set 165: Trendy sun glasses 155: Relaxing spa day 145: Straighten my hair 135: Sexy pumps 125: Whole new wardrobe 115: Little black dress and a photo shoot!!!

So glad to be part of this group! Cause of time zone issues i just started and boy the jumping jacks were killer and just as fun lol. Water....was easy. Love water!!

I used to have the WORST TOM. Went to the doctor, and she recommended ibuprofen and moving my *kitten* (no joke, that's what she said). It was so easy for me to sit and wallow in pain--REALLY hard to get up off the couch and work out. Working out (for me anyway) eases the cramping and the lovely headache I get with mine. I…

Phoenixchichi: I've sent you a friend request. Congrats on losing 9 pounds...we have similar goals I notice. Good luck to both of us...and most importantly...thank you for your words of wisdom...they help immensely. Newcs: After reading your message as well as the others' I have started to realize how taking rest is as…

Hi Mokey41: Thank you! That fact about water is an eye opener. Every weight loss related article would list it as the top to-dos and would go as far as to say that without drinking enough water the weight won't come off. But I've had several people respond (including yourself ) to say that the amount of water they consumed…

First of all congrats on that awesome 48 pound weight loss. Inspirational :flowerforyou: And thank you!! I knew I'd learn lost of new things. Point to self - muscles hold water when you work them.

I was trying to figure out how much I should be eating...thanks for posting this topic and thanks to Dan for the informative thread...I followed his instructions and settled on a happy number...will let you know how it goes..

Hi there! same here! I'm new here too - will add you in and we can help each other get to our goals! good luck!

Yes we should have an end date. And also we're split into teams...not sure what we do next. But I am continuing to eat right and workout and am ready to join in the fun once it starts so that we all reach our respective goals! :happy:

happy to be part of purple!

Yay! excited to see the enthusiasm!!! Yes, lets get healthy! I had the same question about the progress bar at the bottom. Will sure make me more disciplined...knowing lots of people are seeing how I progress. About the food diary - Since I am not from the US, my menu would vary a lot. But I'm watching calories and am…

Thank you! sounds encouraging...I just heard about a reunion towards end of December...a huge motivation for me to get moving!!! You sound a like a fun mom. Kudos to you! I'll post how I do today shortly...

Thanks and good luck to you too! I am sure if we motivate each other - at the end of 90 days, we'll reach our targets! I'm already feeling cheerful!

Thanks so much for that. Yes MFP told me 1200 so I stuck to it. I did try other sites and they gave me higher calorie targets - but I said to my self "eat less, lose weight faster" and went with the 1200 target. Also, although I stick to the 1200 calorie target, I guess I need to figure out - how much of protiens, carbs…

This is exactly what I needed - some motivation. I just posted on another forum about how depressed I am feeling about being overweight. Well, a little bit about me - I am 5 feet, 185 lbs and experts say that I need to get to somewhere around 114lbs. I want to join this group so I can stay motivated and possibly some day…

I've read weekly is better. Apparently daily weight fluctuates since the amount of water we tend to hold varies every day and our bodies take time to show real changes in weight. But I step on the scales every day and it can get frustrating when you don't see it moving.

Wow, that's one word I have for the progess you've made. You are an inspiration. I am a mother of a 11 month old and have to lose 73 pounds. I have been working out for over 3 weeks (Jillian Michaels - No more trouble zones, shred it with weights, 30 day shred, Banish fat boost metabolism) eating 1200 calories a day but…
