Why did I create a part 2? Did the other one get to full and I was the first one or what? LOL. Tell me if I did something wrong. :blushing: I am now down to 219.6!!! YAY!!! I really want to hit 210 by 10/13 (5.5 weeks) and I think I might be able to do it! Then I want to be as close as possible to 200 on 11/2. Because of…

Well, I started off with 124lbs to lose. Had just gained 20-30 pounds in the few months prior (so usually if you have a lot to lose you lose a lot at first, the same with just recently gained weight) and I went from eating 4-5-6,000 calories a day (2 meals being fast food or eating out) to 1,300 calories a day, fruit and…

In 11 days I lost 10 pounds and in 21 days I lost 20 pounds.... It started off very very fast (recently gained 20 extra pounds, and did a FULL 180 with my diet.) Too fast really, but that's what happened to me.

Actually 38% is over a 1/3 body fat (1/3 would be 33% 1/4 would be 25%). I've lost 40 pounds and am very scared to see what my % is still... :angry:

Ok, I know that frozen meals aren't usually that great for you a lot of the time because of sodium. However, I was wondering if there are any family size frozen meals that are good and relatively healthy. I have had stouffers meatloaf and it is pretty reasonable (calories and whatnot). I just like being able to heat things…

I do 15 minutes of strength training, and 30-45 minutes of swimming. I plan on getting a personal trainer when I hit a plateau or by November because I need pointers to make sure what I am doing is ok.

Well I live in condos that have a workout facility. So 4 days a weeks I would do an hour of elliptical, bike and walking (running for a minute every 5-10 minutes the most I can do currently). Then the other 3 days I would do some toning (weights and such) and swimming.

So, today I hit 40lbs lost!!!! That's 40lbs in 10 weeks, so 4 pounds a week!!! I actually started out very fast (recent 20lbs gain that was easy to lose and also with a lot of weight to lose) and it made my already failing gallbladder attack me every single time I ate. Because of this (and testing to prove that my…

Go to gomongo.com and you can create your own bowl and it'll tell you how many calories are in it... It's my favorite place to eat, so I make my bowl online, figure out what I am going to eat before I get there. Then I fill my bowl, eat half for lunch there and the other half for dinner and it is amazing!

I did. It was awful, the pasta stuff would NEVER cook right for me and was always hard and nasty. Most of it I could barely stomach. Ick, so it didn't last long.

2 cups cheerios .75 cups of skim milk 1/2 banana 313 calories. Or 2 egg omelet 1/4 cup low-fat mozzarella cheese Hot sauce (hehe) 267 calories.

Well, I have been told that I need to sleep with 2 pillows between my knees if I lay on my side. I can't do 2, so I do 1. If I am on my back I have one under my knees. I went to physical therapy for something else, but they also taught me to roll a towel and tape it. Put it on the ground and lay on it right where it hurts…

Ghostbusters! WHOO HOO!!! hahaha!

I don't think one should reward when they hit a goal with food. To me that means you're just dieting and not having a lifestyle change. Personally, I have hit 35 pounds and I am going to a spa. Cheat days I would never do all day, just one meal. I plan on having pizza for my birthday, but I will be perfect the rest of the…

Being too lazy/tired to make real food. We ate fast food every day, and a frozen pizza every night. Plus we went to the bar 2 times a week and got drunk and ate bar food... That was my last 60 pounds. Before that was just being a picky eater and not having a variety, and being severely depressed.

I do to! It's amazing that I always lose at least a pound from night-morning! Granted, just by breathing you lose a litre of water overnight, but you know. The past 3 days I have lost exactly 1.4 pounds overnight every night! LOL.

I HIT MY GOAL! I am now 228!! YAY!!! So my *NEW* goal for Labor Day is 220! That leaves me with 8 pounds to lose and 4 weeks to do it.

That is actually what made me realize I DO need to lose this weight. I flew the first week of June, and started (well, restarted) MFP the end of June. It was horrible, I had the belt ALL the way to the end and I barely got it to fit. :embarassed:

Weclome! :flowerforyou: You think Canival had small portion sizes? Hmm, I thought it was really big. Not to mention all the buffets all the time, LOL. I am so glad I am not going on one soon or it'd be really hard not to pig out.

I weigh in everyday... Probably not good, but honestly I usually lose about a pound a day (sometimes less). I lost nearly 30 pounds the first 5 weeks, so that was 6 pounds a week, so just under a pound a day. It's slowing down now, but I just still do it, it keeps me on track. *side note> Yes, I lost A LOT of weight FAST,…

There has been research about diet pop and weight gain. Apparently, when you drink something sweet (like pop) that should have sugar/calories in it but doesn't (like diet pop) then your mind makes you binge because it feels like it needs to sugar/calories. Now, I am sure if you have self-control it's not a big deal, but…

I fill my whole day the night before. I leave room for something incase I want to add it the next day though. Sometimes I will plan out my working days in a row too (I work 12's, sometimes 3 in a row, or like starting tomorrow 6 in a row...). So I have my next week planned out just to make it easier.

When I was 18 and in college I had stayed at my then boyfriend, now husbands dorm and was running late for my exam at a college an hour away. I was speeding, pulled over and let go. I have NEVER EVER gone over more then 5mph than the speed limit since then (6+ years ago). I work in the O.R. and I know what speeding/stupid…

I live in Ann Arbor. :smile:

Starting stats: Re-joined (oops) MFP weight: 260 Current weight: 248.4 (yes, I need to know the .whatever, LOL) Labor Day goal: 228 Stretch goal: 220 Pounds per week to lose: 2.2 Final weight goal: 136 7/23: 234.6! 7/30: 231.8

7/30: 231.8

I drink water. If that doesn't work then a glass of skim milk.

Mine is 2. But I have a lot to lose, and I had gained a lot just recently from a back injury.

Well I don't know how great I am, but hopefully we can motivate each other! We have close to the same goals if you'd like to be my friend :)

In the end it has never made a difference for me.
