I've been on MFP for a few years now, but only recently only really started taking it more seriously. Started @ 299 lbs in 2015, Current Weight 255, approaching 50 lbs lost (30+ lbs within the last 3 months)! Keep in mind that sometimes I do talk about tmi stuff (like periods, etc). And I have a tendency to reply to my own…

Congratulations! I LOVE the professional white background photos. You look so happy!

I plan to! In about 18 months when her bones are developed enough to run with me. I am picking up a puppy (golden retriever/lab mix) at a pet rescue this weekend, and she is going to be my walking buddy, eventually jogging buddy. I can't wait!

Yay, thanks Rose! Looking forward to it. :)

I'm in! Team Zombie?

I log everything. Something may be 0 calories, but have other things in it I want to track (especially sodium).

Edit: As JustAGirlyGee said above ^ I haven't been on MFP for long, so I'll just post how I recently got through my first plateau: I increased my calories a day. I wasn't eating enough. MFP put me on a 1400 calorie a day budget, which I recently found out to be below my BMR. I followed the advice on this thread here:…
-
I am doing this now as well -- MFP had me at 1400 a day, which was way below my BMR. While I lost at first, I eventually hit a plateau because I wasn't eating enough. Now, I'm eating 1800-2000 a day (which is -20% of my TDEE), and I'm losing again. I haven't exercised yet since I switched this, but I will likely not be…

Cato and Torrid have always been favorites -- but I am really looking forward to shopping somewhere else other than those and Walmart. I have a job interview tomorrow, and should all go well I plan on saving 20% of my checks from now until I hit my goal weight, and having a huge shopping spree and day out to celebrate when…

I have the original Your Shape Fitness Evolved, and I normally just track what it shows on the screen for calories burned. However, I plan on getting a HRM this week as I know the number isn't entirely accurate. I don't know if you're logging from the MFP database, but your numbers will never be completely accurate if you…

Mine is my XBox Gamertag -- but I came up with it by mixing up the name of one of my favorite characters in the Mass Effect series, Tali'Zorah nar Rayya.

See you guys in 4 weeks!
-
Same here, I got a FitBit One as an early birthday present and love it!
-
The first part of the week was good -- but for the past few days I've been in a little plateau. However, I think I figured it all out, so I should hopefully start losing again soon. I was keeping my calorie intake the same, but not adjusting for the increase in exercise. But I finally have everything sorted. Besides that,…

First off, well done, Josh -- congratulations on reaching your goal! Secondly, I have a quick question for you -- I know everyone is different, but after viewing your diary I am curious. When you first started losing (and even through the 10 months), how did you handle carbs? I see you between 200-400 along your journey --…
-
This. I thought I was going to have trouble giving up fast food -- but over a month here on MFP and I still haven't had any. I quit FF like I quit smoking -- cold turkey, and I haven't looked back. I'm sorry it is tough for you, though -- I hope you find something that works for you! :)
-
Drinking nothing but water, cutting out soda and fast food -- I also track everything now, and over the past month I have never been over my calorie goal (and I eat healthier and try to hit my macros). The biggest thing, though, is getting off my butt! It has been hard, but I am now trying to work out 5-6 days a week. In…
-
That is actually what I've been doing in the meantime and I agree :) It works for now, but I definitely want to buy a better one in the future. Thanks!
-
Thanks for the suggestion, Emily! I can't afford that just yet, but definitely bookmarking for later :)
-
So, here is a question for you ladies -- I want to start running soon, but currently I don't have an appropriate bra. Sports bras (the traditional ones) don't work for me, as my girls are pretty big (DDD). Any of you bustier ladies, do any of you run? And do you have any suggestions on a good bra? Really don't want the…

Such an inspiration! You started where I did, and you are where I hope to be in a year or two. Congratulations! You look awesome!

February 8th here as well! :D

The most recent thing I've made that I absolutely love is Apple Butter! http://www.skinnytaste.com/2010/11/slow-cooked-apple-butter.html I put it on toast, or in oatmeal. It is only roughly 40 calories per tablespoon. Love the stuff, and I'll probably make a trip to the Farmer's Market once a month in order to keep this in…
-
I have been okay with removing certain things from my diet. No more sodas or fast food -- I thought those would be hard, but I haven't missed any of it. I think I would miss it more if I had been drinking soda with caffeine, but I would always drink caffeine free, so I don't have any headaches. If I want a treat (like Ice…

Hiya Ladies! I am Jenny, and I live in Florida. I'm 29 Married (6 years). No kids, but have been trying to get pregnant for 6 years.

Definitely a gamer here! Played MMOs for years (WoW being the longest). I am playing LOTRO currently, but only once a twice a week (though I have also played EQ/EQ2/SWG/SWTOR). I am also a big console gamer, my favorite being Mass Effect and KOTOR. The game I am currently trying to play more of is Your Shape: Fitness…

I am in the same boat! I have more than 100 pounds to lose, and would love more friends to stay motivated. Feel free to add me (anyone!) and lets make 2013 a great year!

Over 6 years ago I was shopping for my bridesmaid dresses at a local mall. I was walking along the sidewalk on the outside of the building next to the road, and a car pulled up along side me. The car was full of guys, probably between the ages of 20-30. The car slowed down and drove along side me as I walked. The whole…

I have always wanted a tattoo, but never wanted to get one because of the weight. It is definitely on my list for once I lose the weight and keep it off! For mine, I was thinking a Phoenix, symbolizing rebirth.
