This isn't a very smart idea for a long term weight loss goal. Sure you can have a "Cheat meal, day" if you must but if you are eating your allotted calories and some calories back from exercise you shouldn't have to do that. I would suggest you follow what calories MFP suggest and make whatever it is you want fit into…

Toni, you look Fabulous lady! Your hard work has really paid off. You should be very proud!! You Rock my friend.

It has been lots of rewards for me along the way. Mostly learning to accept compliments from others about how nice I'm looking. Next , there has been some jewelry, lots of new clothes, new hair cut & style, best of all way getting a tummy tuck to remove 25 lbs od hanging fat. ( I know it's gross to me too ) but now I have…

Congratulations my friend! You have proven with determination, anything is possible!! Best wishes on your continued success!!:drinker: :bigsmile: :wink:

I've already lost alot but have 70 more to go. Sending you a FR,

Here is a great breakfast that will give you plenty of energy and make you feel great. Use Whole grain oatmeal (not the prepackaged stuff) about 6-8 egg whites with cinnamon ( I put cinnamon in my oatmeal too). I also eat 1-2 pieces of turkey bacon. It is delicious, filling and gives me the energy I need to start my day.…

I lost 130 lbs from 3-2012 to 7-2013, I had to have a tummy tuck because of the fat that was lost in that area. The Dr told me ahead of time I probably wouldn't lose any weight for about a yr after the surgery. I have only lost 2 lbs since my surgery. It's very frustrating!! :grumble: I'm following the same eating patterns…

This site works, I know because this is my 1 yr anniversary on here today. Just stick with it!

The best way I have found to break a plateau is to go up on your calories. You say your eating, 1200 a day now, go up to 1600 for 2 days and back to 1200k. Then back to 1600 and then back to 1200. This tricks your body and the weight will start moving, I have a feeling though, you aren't eating enough to start with, If you…

Congratulations Michael that is fantastic. At this rate you will be at goal in no time. If you could use a friend send me a request. I would love to have you as a friend.

There is a saying that goes like this " a moment on the lips is forever on the hips". If your just starting out I would say avoid the candy. After you have done this for awhile you an slowly add it back, a little at a time. Hope this helps!

I Love Super Advanced Chocolate Peanut Butter, It makes great shakes.

Hi, I am 5'6 but still have 80 lbs to lose, feel free to add me. And Welcome!!

This is exactly right!!

Congrat's on your success! New clothes are a great reward for eating right and exercising. :smile:

Hi, I'm on every day. I could use some more supportive friends myself.

This is exactly right!! Your body is hanging onto every bit of food you put into it because your actually only eating 500 calories a day. You NEED to increase you calories or eat back more if you burn that many calories in on day. Sending you a PM. :flowerforyou:

Hi, I'm on here every day. Feel free to add me if you like.

Leslie Sansone makes tons of Walking DVD's, most are on you tube (FREE ), or you can pick them up at Walmart, Target, several other places, EBay for sure! They are just right for people that want to walk like a runner. She incorporates kicks, side steps, knee lifts, it's a whole body workout. I have several of them and…

You have gotten a lot of good idea's here. I think the main thing is to log All your food, even if you have something that's isn't good for you. it helps keep you accountable. Add friends that will support and encourage you ! As far as exercise, if you don't like to exercise, start by walking. Everybody can do that! It…

Sending you a FR. You can do this!! My diary is open to my friends and I log everyday, :flowerforyou: I still have 50-60 lbs to go. We can and care doing this!!

Hi, friend request sent!!:happy:

I know several people that have had both, the Gastric bypass and the lapband , one person almost died from the gastric surgery and now he has gained almost all his weight back. A friend of mine had the lap band surgery and she hasn't lost anything. I thought about having the Lap band before I started my journey in March of…

That would be a Match made in heaven, as long as he wasn't to young!! : :wink:
