Are you my sister from another mister?! I'm 5'6.5" Age: 26 Highest EVER: 240 Highest since MFP: 170 Current: 154 Goal: 145 (ish) Also: I am told by EVERYONE I "look like I'll blow away on a windy day". My mother actually made me weigh in front of her because she thought I'd secretly got down to 120...wth?! I canNOT get to…

I'm here guys! I forgot yesterday (lots of snow, late start today...sooo many excuses for forgetting). Anywho - Weighing in - My weight this morning was 155.0...so I "gained" .6. :-( Explanation follows: I got so depressed about seeing 153.3 one day, then 154.3, then 156, then 154....I am not logging my food this week -…

When I get to put my arms/leg/head down after thinking I'm going to diiiiiie. Then getting right back to it. :-)

Ugh...I saw 153.3 this week...but I'm weighing in officially at 154.3 this morning. Maaaaaybe next week. In other news, I'm down a total of 5.6 pounds since starting this! Yay!!! Don't forget to read and/or post your goods, bads and uglies.... Points for this week - 218

Another Sunday is here - Super Bowl Sunday, to be exact. My good: somehow I've lost like 2.5 pounds this week. I worked out every day and COMPLETED the Blogilates beginner calendar! The bad: I had PIZZA Saturday. Like half a pizza throughout the day. It screwed with my daily calories and I went hungry later that night. The…

Thank you littlebutbig!! I can't edit my post...I'm on my phone now...so THANK YOU!

Thank you everyone! A few more bits of info for those who may be like me: I am "large framed" according to wrist measurements. My bra size didn't change - band or cup - I just use the smallest clasp now. My measurements starting were (approximately) 45"-37"-43" now they're around 41"-31"-39" (stupid flat butt - I'm working…

Oh! I'm 5'6.5" (that .5 is important!! :-D) and I now have a 31" waist...started at about 37" so YAY!!

OP - go to Apps at the top of the screen, then click Ticker...and MFP will pretty much do the rest!

You won't stop thinking it should go faster (I've been at this for almost a year and STILL think I should lose 2 pounds a week EVERY week even tho I'm close to goal). However, I just tell myself every day that a lower number, lower bf % and better stamina is worth it in the long run. It's taken me 11 months to lose my…

I got stuck just recently and I was depressed and angry about it, but just kept plugging along and ended up losing 2 pounds the next week. Weight loss isn't linear and if you give up, you'll NEVER see the "skinny" image. Just keep logging and exercising. You WILL get there, I promise. Being patient for 2 pounds next week…

It will work. Say that instead of hopefully. It WILL. This is your chance! Seize it! I've lost 85 pounds from my heaviest and 65 of that in the last year with MFP. Get some friends on here and just do it! I went from 240 to 155 since my youngest was born. I'm constantly finding new goals and motivation to keep going for my…

I'm a noob at the macros thing too but I've played with mine a bit and *from what I can tell* you should try to eat .08 to 1 gram of protein per pound of your lean body mass (whatever isn't fat). Then I halved my remaining calories between carbs and fat. I have found I stay much fuller eating more protein. My macros are…

I'm not really a binger, buuuut a great tip? Get some friends on here! Add me! I try to be supportive every day and I'm honest with my logging...ugggh some days. I've been back for 3 weeks now but had a previous streak of 5 months, and I lost 40ish pounds (and have kept it off). I'm on here every day - even just seeing…

I like Pilates personally, it's nice and slow and concentrates on breathing and your core. I started about 3 weeks after my daughter was born (when I weighed 220 and had juuuust given birth). There were plenty of modifications for out of shape people like myself and I have worked up to being able to do *almost* any Pilates…

I'm 5'6.5" (I NEED that 0.5 inch!! lol) HW: 240 CW:156 GW:147 OR better body fat percentage...like 22-23% instead of my current 25%

Points? Is anyone doing this? I had 244 this week.

Starting weight: 160 This week: 156.2 YEEEEEEEEAH! And I had pizza twice...but I chose the thin crust with chicken tomatoes and green peppers and WOW it was good!

Here it is...Sunday again. My good? I finally got rid of my pesky "monthly visitor" and blasted through my mini plateau of 158. Woohoo! The bad...I had McDonald's chocolate chip cookies. The ugly...three McDonald's cookies. Ohhhhh...I feel better for telling you but still! Ugh. I'm right back on the horse though, so I…

Hello! I'm a Blogilates baby. I'm on my fifth day of the third week of the beginners calendar and I seriously like it. Can I start February's calendar when I get done with beginners? I'm asking because I am able to keep up mostly and don't want to get discouraged if her regular calendars are super hard. I've been debating…

Click on "Apps" at the top of your screen, then select "tickers" - MFP will help you make one. Easy as pie!

I feel like I sound like a broken record but water is my diet plan! When I wake up I drink a cup of water. Then before breakfast, 16 oz. and another 16 before lunch, 16 with lunch, 16 whenever I feel thirsty in the afternoon, 16 before dinner and 16 with dinner. Needless to say, I am meeting my water intake for sure! :-)…

Oh I forgot - POINTS! I was so excited about actually losing, I forgot about that handy little chart! I had 186 from the activities and 15 from losing a pound (and maintaining). So 201 total for me. My goal this week is to get fruit points all week and all those DOUBLE POINTS from exercising! Let's KILL it girls!!

SW: 160 1/13: 158.6 1/20: 157 Loss this week: 1.6 HOO-RAH!

Want! Both gym and that bod! You look great!

Hi! I went to the site (and looooved it!) and noticed guys can go to mybodygalleryformen.com and see about the same thing for men. There probably aren't as many - but to upload your photo and help fellas out too!

This! ^^^ and that my "high school" jeans are comfortable. I was thrilled to be able to pull them over my thighs, and now I can wear them with a tight shirt with no zip up jacket needed to cover the muffin top.

It is somewhat discouraging to hear when I'm just trying to be healthier and everyone tells me if I lose any more I'll look anorexic. Uhhh no. I know what I look like at my goal weight - that's why I picked it! I think it's also because I haven't bought ALL new clothes that fit quite yet so occasionally I do look sick due…

Thank you! I just had it cut that day (reward for getting back on my health kick)... Next person, please compliment nathan_oz not me. Just thanking you! Umm, you look very dapper and professional in that shirt!

Good luck! It's the funnest/hardest/coolest/craziest thing you'll ever do. Here's hoping you get your little miracle soon!
