Oops and ato answer your other question, I eat a healthy dinner (usually chicken and broccoli) about an hour before. I do Zumba and water aerobics and have never felt bad when exercising.

I personally don't like to eat before I go to bed, when I work out until 8pm, I don't eat when I get home. I have read that it is better to go to bed a little hungry and your body will burn more fat, than burning what you just ate. I think that was from Jillian Micheals. I have been losing steadily following that.

Congrats to everyone! It really is an inspiration to read all of your successes!

I would like to share that my doctor just took me off my high blood pressure medicine!! I have been on high blood pressure meds for about 15 years. I have lost 25 lbs since January and I lost about 21, 2 years ago, so a total of 46 lbs. I am very close to being under 200, just under 4 lbs. I really thought it just…

So excited for you!! You are an inspiration to me! You will reach your ultimate goal!!

I found chocolate covered strawberries and raspberries- the raspberries are covered with white chocolate. I only eat what the portion is- 90 calories, sometimes I eat 2 portions, but I feel like I am eating ice cream or something. They are very yummy.

I had a breast reduction and I have not been able to find a bra that fits since, except for the sports bras. I tried at Layne Bryant to have them fit me and the size they came up with was a joke, way bigger than what I am. I still have some flab on my sides, since I did not pay extra for that, so I do not fit -yet in the…

I am almost 47 and currently weigh 212, I really cannot wait to be under 200, and more! I have been struggling but hanging in there, I am losing very slowly and I know that is good, but a little frustrating. I would love some frineds that are supportive and have helpful hints. Feel free to add me! Good luck to everyone.

Hi I am about to turn 47 next month and I am struggling along to lose weight! Anyone can add me, I have just hit the 100 days of logging, yeah, although not every day it complete, usually on the weekends, but it sure hleps to be committed to log everything. We can do this together!! I need all the hlep and support that I…

Week 1- 216.6 Week 2- 214 Week 3- 212.8 Week 4- 211.8 Yeah!!

You should not let it bother you, but if it does, I would not weight during that time!! Personally it plays with my mind when the scale goes up, so it is easier for me to ignore the scale, until I know the bloating and such is gone.

I am going to try the extra difficult class at the Y again tonight. I made it though last Friday class, so I am going to try it again. It is a cross training class that is way above my ability. I was proud of myself for doing it so I am going to do it again. Its pretty bad when people in the class and the instructor say,…

Awesome! Anything that helps you realize you are making strides is important!

Week 1- 216.6 Waist- 43 hips- 52.5 thigh- 23.5 Arm- 14.5 bust- 45.5 Week 2- 214 Week 3- 212.8 waist- 42 hips- 51.5 thigh- 14.5 Arm- 14.5 bust- 44.5 Yeah, so far!

Good for you! Keep it up!!

I have my calories set to what MFP suggest, but I keep hearing and have read about the TDEE - 20% I had a personal trainer/nutritionist tell me to use the MFP calories. I am scared to bump the calories to the TDEE -20% MFP has me at 1250, it was 1350, but since I lost 15 lbs, it took me down to 1250. It is hard to know…

My goal for today is to go home after work, make dinner, tacos with Turkey meat- and go bak to the Y to workout. I was going to go right after work, but my son needed my Kindle for school- he has some books on it. Well I need my Kindle to read my book while I work out, things go much faster that way.

WOW, great job! What are your secrets? Please share!

I am going to eat healthy today, unlike yesterday, and go to my Aqua Blast tonight and enjoy those 60 minutes! I am not going to eat junk food at night when I am relaxing! I have to get back on track. I have lost focus and having a hard time finding it again. UUGGHH, so frustrated with myself....

I am reading this and I keep thinking I could have written many of these posts. I was doing really well and since Easter I have not been able to get a grasp. For a couple days, I do ok, then I relapse. I am so frustrated with myself, I keep saying stop, but I just keep looking for more food. You can get back up and so can…

I am such a creature of habit, I pretty much eat the same things every day! I do find it easier to stay on track, because I know what are the good things, I am not a fan of many healthy foods. I have been going to a personal trainer and she said I should mix it up to keep losing. I still have a hard time with changing…

Looks like there are a lot of us out there!! I will be 47 in june. I have at least 70 lbs to go, before I will be within range. EEEKS. It is so hard. Feel free to add me anyone!

When I started reading this, I thought, yeah someone else gets it! I do not like many veggies, really only green beans and corn. I do not enjoy eating healthy, at all. I have lost about 12 lbs since Dec. when I started MFP, but I have a lot more to go!! I still feel like it is a challenge to eat healthy. I keep thinking…

I have way more than 20 lbs, so count me in, anyone feel free to add me, I need all the help and encouragement I can get!!

Happy Birthday!! I agree with start with logging everything!! That helps a lot!

Sorry, I am trying to figure out how to reply to the post. I make smoothies usually for 2 servings at a time and I pour in 2 different cups, I then freeze one, I just put it in the microwave for about 2 minutes on defrost and it is just a little thicker like sherbert. I do use water,not milk, so I don't know how that would…
