If you went over by 400 and then hit the 1600's...that means you are only eating 1200/day. EVERYTHING I have read and researched tells me that that is too little. I ate that little at first and found myself binging and eating other stuff I should be way too often...even if I didn't I didn't loose the weight. I went up to…

I just got the POLAR watch, and I absolutely love it!

I find that sad.

I "Ask" the same thing, however, I secretly like it. :)

I think all birthdays should be a big deal. It's the day that you were brought into this world. It's special. I make a big deal out of my loved ones' birthdays as do they for me. It's a day to celebrate you regardless of your age. People put too much weight on the number, the weight should be put on the day...for if it…

LOL! I love this :)

I agree with the European-American thing! I am also tired of seeing "black" or "white" under "Ethnicity" black and white are COLORS, not an ethnicity. Not only that...I have never seen a person that really is the color of black or a white person that is really the color of white....

I have gained about 9 back so far..hence the 16lbs lost sign..

I lost 25lbs since February. In June I found out I was pregnant. It's a hard transition going from loosing weight to "gaining" weight. Even though we have been TTC for four years, it was still hard. I'm just starting to wrap my brain around it. But, I know it's not healthy to try and loose weight while pregnant. In order…

I kept reminding myself that if I continue at the rate I was at, next year I would think "look how far I would be if I just continued!" I didn't want to look BACK anymore. I took it one day at a time. I also put away my scale for a month and focused on eating and exercise. THEN, my first weight loss was big (in my…

I have lost 25 pounds not eating "clean". I eat better than I did before and I watch my calories and I make better choices, but I did loose weight. I am gaining now....but only because I'm pregnant. :)

Hey! If you have a smart phone get the C25K app. I wouldn't do the treadmill. It is TOTALLY different. I started on the treadmill and had to start over outside. You have to push yourself. You will be amazed when you get to week 5 and you can do it...and think to yourself how hard week 1 was. I did the program, I then…

This isn't meant to be rude, but I feel like you are making a lot of excuses for those that are trying to help you. However, here is my suggestion: See a nutritionalist and a personal trainer to get your ACCURATE daily calorie allowance and change ups in exercise. Calories and INCREDIBLY important and MFP calories are a…

I can't believe I read all of this. However, it was quite entertaining for the day! :)

Awesome job! :) I can't wait to get there!

I did the C25K and started indoors. I was so nervous to go outdoors because I was afraid of people judging me. I definitely do not look like a runner. I began running, (and started the program over) in a cemetery by my house. It was strangely calming. Outdoors is completely different and it may be easier to "restart"…

I noticed it when I first started too!!! I got upset, so I hid my scale for 3 weeks. LOL...I felt MUCH better after that. I think it's from muscle gain...but I still don't like the number going up! I also started eating MORE when I did this. I upped my calories, and then I started loosing. I tried to keep my net no lower…

I'm on day 15, but still working hard, can I join too?

Everyone is going to tell you what works for them, the trick is figuring out what works best for YOU. EveryBODY is different. The one thing I know that works for EVERYONE is....you can't think of this as a diet, and if you plan on going back to "your old ways" when you finish, you mine as well not start. I'm not saying…

I am not saying this to start anything, however, let's be realistic here. Yes, trying to look like a 90lbs model is unhealthy, but wanting to loose weight because you want to look better to yourself isn't a bad thing. Telling people that it's not okay to want to loose weight to look better isn't okay either. I think, as a…

I have 76lbs to loose.....and I know why it's so hard to do, I get really scared of it....not the number, it's hard to explain. But, I'd like to be your friend on here and support you, if you'd do the same for me! :)

I'm a teacher too. Looking for as much support as I can get. This is the first time I have felt somewhat of a network of support in attempting this. I teach 5th grade. I'd love to have more friends and support on MFP, and I'd love to be supportive for you too! :) :bigsmile:
