I agree with what you say. It isn't a good idea to drop the calories too drastically. 1800 sounds like a good start. Remember you need your energy to feel good to be able to work out.

You have done an amazing job.

Thank you for the much needed motivation!

You are so right. I get overwhelmed so quickly looking at the big picture. I think I am going to break it down in10's as well.

Your journey has truly been amazing. Lately I have found myself lacking the motivation I first had when I started MFP. Glad I surfed through the message boards tonight. Stories like yours helps me and I'm sure others in my shoes remember the importance of not giving up! Thank you :flowerforyou:

After reading your post I would like you to motivate me!!! Sounds like you're very active. I'm still not at a very active level. I do an hour of walking almost everyday. I want to kick it up but my knees still ache a bit from all this weight,

Great that you are so positive!

Beautiful!!

Thanks for your story and reminding me that it is up to me to get to my goal.

Maleficent.......she is awesome!!!!

Ladies, you sound exactly like me. I tend to jump on the scale every single day to see a change in my weight only to get discouraged. That is why now I decided to wait my first 30 days. Next Thurs will be my weigh in.

All of you look Amazing!!!

You already have 8 lbs. down.....Good for you!! I have around 70 lbs to lose as well. I joined MFP in November. I started doing zumba but it is a little hard for me to keep up. I have switched over to walking to strengthen my muscles a bit. I'm waiting to hit 30 days to weigh myself but I so afraid I won't see any…

I need to feel accountable as well to keep going at it. I started in November. I want to get out of the 200's. As the days are going by it is starting to get harder to keep the motivation going. I think a weigh in group would be a wonderful idea. Please add me!!!

That's an Awesome fail!

Great story. I too want to add that you look A M A Z I N G!!! Thanks for inspiring all of us!!

You are looking really good! Amazing job!!

I am at 230 right now. Sometimes I see the finish line so far away that I doubt I can ever get to be under 200 but then I read stories like yours and it keeps me going. Thanks for the inspiration that I too can get there.

You are already looking good there at 199. Imagine how awesome when you hit your goal. I just started this week. Your results are really inspiring me. I need to lose about 70Lbs.

I do exactly the same thing. I go through different work out videos until I find something I like. This week I have been trying Zumba videos on You tube. Sometimes it's hard for me to keep up but they really are so much fun.
