can't believe no ones said it brussel sprouts also majorly dislike artichokes, I know it doesn't count, but veggie cheese is probably the worst thing on the planet and a crime against both vegetables and cheese, seriously someone should get arrested for that one. Where are the food police when you need them?

Great Job with the encouragement. I think we can forget how blessed we are with our virtual and real life support networks

MFP doesn't know what a realistic weight loss goal for you is. It just tells you the numbers you feed it. The closer you are to a healthy weight the less weight your body will let you lose in a week. MFP is a calculator. It doesn't say...This person won't really lose 2 lbs a week because their metabolism will slow down. It…

you can also change you weight loss goal. If you are eating 1200 I guestimate you have it set to lose 2lbs a week. Thats not a sustainable goal for most people. try playing with your goal...I set mine to lose 2 lbs got 1300 cal....I lost the first 15-18 this way. Then I hit a plateau. Changed my goal to lose 1.5 a week…

You may be eating too little for one. If you have less than 50 to lose try only setting for 1.5 to 1 pound loss per week. Also pay attention to *NET* calories, if you go below 1200 w/ no exercise or 1000 on a day of heavy exercise you're hurting your metabolism. All that said TOM will cause additional water weight.…

@darren You can do it!!!! and great job on the loss. Sometimes a a couple "bad" days shock our system in a good way. Just pick it up today.

TOM = Time of the Month or the curse. period, general pain to all females. Lol

My husband and I have been doing this since january. I've lost 26 lbs...He's lost 19. I started at 224. Today I'm at 198...In three months. This site gives you the tools to change your life. That said. Take pictures, take measurements, get a scale that monitors body fat percentage if you can. One week I gained because of…

Thanks Guys! I did it....AND I FEEL GREAT!!!! :flowerforyou: I just envisioned punching Tony in the face! I feel like I'm already way better at this and its only 2nd time through Kenpo... Too bad my HRM stopped for about 15 minutes without me noticing....In 40 minutes on my HRM I burned 515...wonder what I burned in the 60…

if you have the mobile app for android it actually breaks down your fat into poly, mono, trans (should be 0) and sat fat. Don't know why it doesn't do this on the website

bump....doing p90x now so interested in any replys
-
Doing P90x classic right now. It is an investment of about 120 to get all the equip: pull up bar, bands, weights, HRM. All that being said in 12 days I've dropped my body fat percentage by 8 points. Only a weight loss of 1.5 lbs, but lots of new muscle. Don't worry about getting bulky either as long as you pick appropriate…

Gave up weighing myself for lent, except on Sundays....So new weight 198. Loss of 1.5 lbs. I've also started tracking my body fat percentage because I'm doing P90X....Day 0, 50% body fat (UGHHHHH) Day 12, 41.9% :happy:
-
WOWOWWOWOW looks like way more than 42 pounds. You look fantastic. and I bet you feel so much healthier. WTG Girl keep it up. PS Love the hair.

This is going to sound silly, but it works for me. Leave enough calories for a 100-200 cal. snack before bed (1-2hrs). Print out a clip art stopsign and put it on your fridge handle right before bed. It is just a visual reminder that should get your attention. Also put a piece of paper with your goal and the question, will…
-
you will always weigh more at night. Weigh yourself on the same day every week first thing in the morning. Stand in the same spot on the scale. Also take your measurements. They might be changing down.
-
I just made it through Day 6. Rest day tomorrow. I have never done it before, but its intense and intimidating...I just laughed at a lot of the yoga positions. So yeah I'll be your P90 X buddy :happy:
-
I got all the usual names but the one comment that hurt the most... I had gotten a brand new GAP sweatshirt for Christmas (These were the coveted item that year)...I tied it around my waist getting off the bus (FL weather) and a boy behind me said that aint the Gap it's the Grand Canyon...Never really wore it again Looking…
-
Bench press, squat, and dead lift. [/quote] Didn't realize you'd only done day 1 so far....you will do lots of squats and dead lifts...no bench press but push ups and pull ups to failure will get you even better here
-
nah this won't hurt ya...I did lift in past but got seriously outta shape after a couple of surgeries...used the excuse I didn't want to risk injury... when you get to the day/exercise that targets where you really want results add some weight and add intensity. Shoot for maxing out on 6 reps and use the rest of the time…
-
ok that makes sense...I am not doing low carb, but quite frequently I am at like 300 cals then doing a workout burning 900 putting me way negative...I will try having more cals before workout and eating a more balanced post snack/meal (not just a protien shake)
-
That is actually one of the known side effects for Zoloft...Is this the first antidepressant you have tried? Zoloft is an older drug and there are many newer ones that have less of this pesky side effect...That said Zoloft is a good drug for some diagnosis so talk to your Doctor about it. I take Lexapro and have had great…

Wooohoooo lost 1.5 pounds since last post. I'm now at 199.5 YAYAYAYAYAYAY Onederland Baby!!!!!! :love: I have kicked 25 lbs out of my life since January. I'm on Day 4 of P90X...smokin hot summer bod here I come. Goal by summer 185 (maybe lower)
-
I've lost a two year old....nobody call child services
-
oops...maybe next time I'll take the sticky notes off my mirror...
-
down 2 pounds since my last post. .5 lb since Sunday and its TOM...last month gained 4 at TOM, so WOOOhooo now at 201. 16 pounds to go to meet my summer goal of 185.
-
yup your body will cling to that weight...I had this problem, then lowered my weight loss goal to one pound a week so I'm eating more and it seems to be helping.
-
I have a soft measuring tape that I use for sewing...you can get them at Joanns, Michaels...maybe Walmart. Its easiest to do in front of a mirror. For hips wrap around the widest part and make sure its level front and back. Make the tape snug but not tight...I measure naked just like I weigh naked...probably TMI but some…
-
Ok weigh in day. Last week I lost six...this week I maintained. So still 203...I'm a ok with that because in one week Hips went from 49.5 to 48 Waist went from 31.5 to 31 Neck went from 14 to 13.5 So 2.5 inches lost in one week. WOOT. I'm thinking about adjusting my calorie goal upward next week to get my body confused.
-
Have you had an appointment with your Doctor? This is a good place to start. They can do routine bloodwork to ensure you don't have a pesky glandular disorder that prevents weight loss. I am hypothyroid and could NOT lose weight before taking meds. That said for your calorie intake you are working out too much. 45 minutes…
