Phyllis, have so much fun at the amusement partk today! Sounds like you had one of your inspiring runs on Saturyday! Good job, I am so envious! Enjoy vacation!

March 5th 207.3 March 12th 206.4 March 19th 204.3 March 26th 203.9 Well a loss is a loss however little! -.4 :) I am down 3.4 on the month. MAYBE I can get another 1 lbs in by the end! wish me luck!:laugh:

wow! congrats on your amazing progress, sounds like skin! you can have a body fat test though!

yep, monitoring portions are VERY important, but for me, I eat what the family eats, minus the rice, noodles, or carbs. So if they are having a pork chop, veggie and rice, I double up on the veggie and cut the rice! Also, make turkey burgers with whole wheat buns, my kids told me last year that we should try turkey burgers…

Nothing is off limit!so you may want to play around with your weight loss goal to start. By starting off with a 2 lb weight loss goal per week, sometimes its hard to get started. The other thing is when you exercise you get to eat more calories (EAT YOUR CALORIES) I actually have a similar net goal of 1280 per day, but I…

I am going thru the exact same thing with my daughter right now and I love the suggestions. My daughter is 5'2 10 years old and 105 lbs, most of her friends are either obese or twigs, nothing in between, I am going to show her the websites like you suggest!

Completely sucks! I am sorry, have been there. But guess what you ARE doing something about it! Keep at it! You can do it and @##$ stupid people and their stupid comments. I just try to remember I will never be this heavy again, every day is about moving forward! :flowerforyou:

:wink: I think that everyone has different goals, and really a one fit all doesn't work for everyone. I think that EVERYONE's food journal may look odd to other people. We have to remember the progress that we made, for some people it was 1. portion control 2. Some people it was too many carbs 3. Some people it was too…

Thanks Mike! You ROCK!

Great work Anthrochix!!!

I am doing good with getting the six in, but I do want to incorporate more, so I am trying to sneak them in on top of what I am doing. The family starts revolting when the plate is 3/4 veggies (something about that 14 year old teenage boy that makes it more difficult, hence the sneaking! :wink: I am not really a salad…

GREAT WORK! Woo HOOO!!!

Hope Missyann comes back, but we should still post how we are doing! I had a good week, still plugging along, little by little. They say slow and steady is the best way! Well I am definitely slow and steady! :wink: MFP starting weight 218 2/8 210 2/26 207 3/3 208 3/10 206.5! Yeah, lost back that stuff from last week! woo…

buuummmp:wink:

bump:wink:

I am sorry it has been a rough couple of weeks, but it can't be an epic failure! Only a minor set back. Good that you are back on the wagon! Get crackalackin, it will be o.k.!

Good luck Stormy69! This is a great place to get support! :wink: Welcome!

March 5th 207.3 March 12th 206.4 March 19th 204.3 Hurrah!!!! Down 2.1!!!!!

Sounds like you had a great St. Patrick's Day! Congratulations! I have noticed big time, that I have not had nearly the amount of blue days since I have been exercising every day! Good to hear someone else feels the same! Hope the job search goes better!

But you can pick up a roasted chicken at the supermarket and bagged salad for a quick meal, not "fast food" but it is FAST!

I am sorry the plateau has stuck! You have been good about logging in and mixing it up! I don't have a story to share (since I am still at the beginning of my journey) But don't give up! You will get there! Have you tried amping up the exercise? I would love to hear what people have to say as I know my day will come to…

MFP starting weight 218 2/8 210 2/26 207 3/3 208 3/10 206.5! Yeah, lost back that stuff from last week! woo hoo! 3/17 205 goal! 3/17 205.5 down another one, that's ok I'll get half a pound by the weekend.! 3/25 204 goal

So at the beginning of Feb, I started this 12 week challenge at my bootcamp, and the goal is to lose the most weight/inches, which sounds like a great goal, and I had already started MFP in Dec, so of course I jumped in, well provided were meal plans and nutrition guidelines. So this is the rub in January on my own with…

I am so sorry you had a rough weekend with the puppy and so glad he is doing better! Hugs to you :flowerforyou:

Phyljen, :happy: :happy: WOW 100 minute jog! That's so impressive!!! :smile: :smile: That's wonderful! Since Disneyland I have bumped up my boot camps to doubles 3 days a week, singles two times a week and still on my goal to do a net calorie burn of 1500 each weekend! (Got about 405 in this morning on my walk) Dream park…

Nsking, Welcome! Good luck on your journey! Beautiful picture!

WOO HOO! Great work!!!!!:laugh: :tongue: :wink:

March 5th 207.3 March 12th 206.4 Yippee down just about a pound! End of month goal 203

walking fast I burn 468 and hour, so I am sure that with running you can definitely get to 700! My fast walking is when I am not doing any punches or anything. Go Go Go! :laugh: I use a polar heart rate monitor!

Missyann, so good to have you back. Sorry the last couple of weeks has been so tough :sad: Good to see you are back on track! I bet it wasn't really 7 pounds when you get back in the swing, hopefully you are holding on to some extra water weight due to the fast food (and all that lovely sodium) We will be waiting to hear…
