Feel free to add me, just did my first workout A of stage 2 today. :)

Ok, that makes me feel better! Thanks. I was beginning to get a little worried. I've seen a few women say that they saw differences in inches after stage 1 and I guess I was just hopeful I would be one of them haha. Anyways thanks & congrats to you as well!

Just replying so I can find this and try it this weekend :) thanks!

BAHAHAHA!

Special K Cinnamon Pecan is awesome! But I agree with the others that most cereal is about the same. I just really like the taste of this cereal. I ate it before my lifestyle change with no thought to if it was healthier! I do enjoy it with some Vanilla Almond milk :)

I rewarded myself with something small everytime I hit a milestone. After 20 lbs I re-pierced my belly button After 40 lbs lost I bought a new swimsuit and I usually do reward myself with small cheat meals. I am currently lifting and running so when I start losing inches I will reward myself again with something small.…

I also went from xl and large tops to mediums and smalls.

Yeah my legs are completely different. I went from snug 14's to loose size 8's :)

You look amazing! Great job!

Yes, Feel free to add me :) I am always up for more motivational people! & he was all "you're fine how you are." before and after I lost the weight he sees that it was definitely necessary. He also jumped on board and has actually lost about 20 lbs and is going to the gym with me. He is very supportive and amazing. You can…

I have NEVER been a runner (partly because of asthma-partly because I always give up) but yesterday I ran a half a mile without stopping. :-) This was after my weight lifting workout. I am determined to become a runner!

Just so I make sure I have this correct.. The tdee- 20% is all exercise included? So when I calculate my tdee it's important to put the correct activity level and not miss an exercise day.

I also have a tdee question. If I have never used this method before and I am wanting to start lifting and gain muscle but lose fat, what should I be doing? My TDEE is around 1988 if I calculated correctly. Should I eat this or less to gain muscle? Stats are 5'3 & 138lbs. I am between slightly and moderately active 21 and…

I reached my original goal weight on 1200 cals/day. 5'3 female. 21 years old. Lightly active while I was doing the 1200/day

I wonder if this is my problem? I naturally have pretty muscled legs and arms without doing any lifting. I have also been having trouble losing my last 10lbs and have decided to switch to heavy lifting on top of watching my diet. Maybe I am at a good weight and just need to tone and create more lean mass? I'm 5'3 and 138…

All of you look absolutely fabulous! Great job on all the hard work. This thread has inspired me to start lifting this week! Keep it going!!

I wish I would've taken measurements. I wish I would've taken better pictures. I DEFINITELY wish I would've started strength training sooner!

Ok, thanks everyone! I am doing my research on all of the books and websites now. Thanks for the recommendations!

There is a local gym in my town that has just about every type of equipment you can think of. I plan on starting there asap.

Yesterday I found the shorts I wore last summer, they were snug then, and they were HUGE on me even with gym shorts under them!!! (My profile picture shows it!) I also just went through my closet and have a giant box of clothes to yard sale because they don't fit. Down side being it was half my closet and I can't replace…

I am down almost 50 lbs and I have went from a size 14 to a size 8. It took me around 20 lbs to lose a pant size but the more I lose the faster I seem to go down in pant sizes. My juniors pant sizes haven't went down as much though, which I assume is due to them being made smaller. I think it all depends on your body shape…

That's great :) my tests are all healthy and normal as well! I'm sure there may be people out there who need larger amounts of energy but for someone as short as me 1200 does just fine. I stopped losing weight for a 2 month period but I stuck with it and now the weight is coming off again. & its been 8 months and i am 5…

. Are you for real? My hair has never looked healthier and my thyroid and adrenals are far from fried. For the Love of God have some people been abducted by aliens and replaced with droids on MFP **MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY!! :)

I am on a 1200 cal diet! :) It's been working for me for 8 months now and I have lost 44lbs! I am rarely hungry or "starving" ( and my hair isn't falling out!) If I work out I will eat my cals back. Add me if you want!

It said I am 3.5 years younger! :)

I'm down 44lbs! This is me currently at 141lbs and in a bikini I couldn't wear last year :)

Thanks everyone! I'm glad this site has such a supporting community! Not sure I could've made it this far without slipping if it wasn't for mfp! :) everyone keep up the great work!

Yeah, I typed that wrong. When I tried the tdee-20% I did not eat calories back. When I eat 1200 cals a day and exercise I do eat cals back.

I am 5'3 :)

I still want to lose 10-15 lbs but here is mine so far!!! Face shot of me before I started (185 lbs) ] Recent face shot (145 lbs) ] Before (185lbs) Today!(144 lbs)
