I had to clarify.... I started here at MFP weighing 191 lbs last April then in July I went up to 203 lbs... so I have been on and off going through the process and now I am at 32 lbs lost. I haven't really seen much of a difference in months.... however my clothes are fitting,that is what I am saying.

OMG... you look amazing and here I was whining about only loosing 32 lbs, I have a long way to go to get to your level. I rather ask you what is it exactly that you are doing bc I need to do all of that so I can see a major difference with myself. BTW... you look great, you pretty much lost 2 people in pounds! Stay…

Yeah, I do do try to keep on my logging. I have no measured to be honest bc last time I did I was like: "WHOA", so i will do that maybe this weekend. I do want to recalculate my calories but its confusing for me on this site... so we will see. maybe like you said I need to eat to loose and not maintain.

Ohh maybe I should clarify, I have lost 32 lbs to date in probably 10 months (maybe) but the scale has stopped! No movement as I think it should with all the hard work I am putting in. I am hoping to loose realistically another 20 by August and then another 30. Anyways.. yes, It feels great to get on the size 10's just…

Thanks... I will NOT eat my extra calories...I'll do that! Sounds like a good thing.

Could everyone quit saying that "muscle weighs more than fat"? A pound is a pound, whichever way you look at it. Muscle is more dense and takes up less room which is why measurements should be relied upon rather than the scale. Though I know the scale is a quicker form of validity that you're not just busting your *kitten*…

I am not a Lady but I've got a standard comment ;] It is the same for everyone. *** Just FYI... I don't eat ANY fast food...the Food I might eat every now and then from a "Fast Food" place is Qdoba...and I usually eat their healthier items!

I have no idea if I am "quoting" the right way...( I don't know how, lol) but yes, I can see that. I will make my scale disappear when I get home bc it really crushed me this morning! Thanks for the tips.

Thanks so much for the advice... I am starting to get lots of new ideas which will hopefully help!

Yes...all of this advice helps a lot...I will be trying another routine to maybe wake my body up and lift heavy to see if that will do it! Thanks Ladies.

See and it is interesting someone mentioned to cut back on calories but when I was taking in 1200 some ppl said to increase them since I was barely getting all of the 1200 so I went to 1500 and that might be too much for me! I will reassess in a couple of weeks!

Thanks for all the advice Ladies...just feeling the pressure since I will be getting married in 30 days and although I don't need to loose weight to get into my dress(lol) I just wanted more definition before my date!

Ohhh no, I have been working out now for a month...and restricting my calories as well, not just 2 weeks. I guess I need to clarify that!

Thanks everyone for the tips and advice. The not eating for 12-14 hours seems to be the norm for me since I am not really a breakfast eater, but I thought from past reading that you MUST always have breakfast? If this is not correct, then GREAT because I just rather have some juice and keep it going! :)

Thanks...this makes me feel better! Didn't want to blow all my hard work ;)

LOL....funny! I can completely relate! :)

Absolutely I agree with Trogalicious, that is why i was asking. Thanks...and as for the corset corset, I didn't take that one was a mean comment. I love corsets ;)

And another thing you all keep telling me that I really need to take in consideration is to be patient. Bc that I don't have yet I need to be. I can't expect to be a runner overnight!

Welll...that wasn't a painful comment and it actually was really funny! Thanks born2drum! appreciate it! One day at a time! :)

Maybe it wasn't "advice" i was looking for...just wanted to know everyone's thoughts on it, plain and simple! Wasn't looking for the silliness. And going back on the "I know there is NO magic pill", I was once again stating that I DO know that is hard work so I wanted to know what was being said out there about this. That…

Wow....Thanks everyone! You guys have been MUCH nicer than in my other question post! Ufff...Anyways, I did go on a short walk/jog today during my lunch at work and the little bit I ran it felt good and NOT as terrible as yesterday! I am getting all this info you all are giving me and memorizing it... :) Thanks a ton!

Well....Thanks for those with actual good advice and for answering my question. For those that needed to have a "smart" comments to make, I was just solely inquiring about it and to see what information I could gather, so the High School mean girl/guy comments weren't needed! And just to clarify...I have had it for a year,…

I do have it and I will put it to use! Thanks

That is VERY true!

Would it still be just water weight if you exercise AND eat right? I will NOT just be using it without the hardwork. Just wondering.

really? I am wearing mine right now at work bc I like that it keeps my posture nicely, but now I will try to use it at the gym! Thanks

Nice....that is great to know bc the pain I was having I was crying :sad: like a baby! lol...It was painful, but I want so badly to be able to run outside (on the inside I envy those runners I see outside :) ) Hoping it'll be better!

Sorry for my ignorance but what is my "gait"?

Hmm...very insightful, Thanks for the info People!
