Those results are amazing!! Can you buy this at walmart?? lol

Thank you for the kind words! I love walking! And now that ive started incorporating jogging with it its gotten that much more fun! I love doing it outside(treadmills drive me nuts!!) Im also about to get Zombies Run! and try to get to jogging a 5k :) I also wanted to let everyone on here know that they look amazing!! All…

I would also love to learn about anyone using coconut oil...i have heard such great things about it!! :/ Sorry i dont have experience to share lol

Sorry for the really late reply!! For exercise in the first 4-5 months i gradually went from walking around my neighborhood about 2-3 times a week to about 5-6 times a week and also went from 15-20 min to 30min-1.5hours in addition to Jillian Michaels 30 day shred and ripped in 30. I just joined a gym probably a month ago?…

Hopefully this will work ;) 212lbs to 165lb and hopefully still moving down!

Okay i just changed my settings to losing 1lb a week and put down 'active'-when you put active should i just eat the calories it gives me? Should i actually put sedentary and then as i add my workouts base my caloric intake from what is added when i add the workouts?? <--does that make sense?? lol

I normally consume about 1200 a day, a few days i do consume around 800 unintentionally. What is a PSMF? No i am not by any means tiny lol, i never have been, even at my lowest weight of 130. I am okay with just 20% body fat, whatever looks best on me is okay.

VERY HELPUL!! Im about to do this now!

REALLY great advice :) it helps when someone other than me looks at it and i can see the trend in everyones responses LOL! So basically i will try to up the calories and keep my sodium down. I dont know why its been so hard for me to do this! Protein is one thing i thought i was okay in but now that i look back in there-…

Thank you for the advice :). I am getting a lot of people stating that the sodium intake is high so i am definately going to work on lowering that number! What type of foods should i eat to get more protein...i do eat fiber/protein bars but i know that i cannot rely on those soley for that intake. And about the calories…

LOL! Thank you :) Sorry it was just humerous the way i read it-because deep within i know its true ;) I am working on changing my mindset because i have always been told 'eat less to lose more' so the whole eat more to lose less is a concept i am working on. Is it possible that i will gain a lot initially from uppign the…

Yes! I plan to track for the rest of my life due to the fact that i can very easily faulter and i know my breaking points and once i hit them it is so hard to get back on track! I know that as long as i stay on track i can control what happens to my body(once i get better at tracking of course :)) I think it is a life long…

When you say macros are those the % of each 'thing'? like proteing to fiber to fat to carbs?? Sorry i am new to the whole macro and tdee stuff. My way of thinking has been calories in vs calories out and yes the past few days to weeks i have been trying to eat cleaner because i realized how much packaged food i was eating.…

My diary is about 90% accurate, every now and then(especially on the fruit and veggies) there are so many different variations on the lists when i search that i just pick the one that looks the most accurate(i try to get the higher amounts just to be safe). I do miss meals often, mostly in the mornings because i never wake…

I think i will up my cardio a bit-how much though? Would about 20 min extra on the treadmill help? The treadmill discourages me when it ads calories because it is so much lower than the other machines!! I was walking/jogging outside but i am miserable when im cold and it is discouraging so i have been at the gym most of…

Thank you for the advice :) The part about retaining water when on your cycle makes since and i am hoping that this is what it is as far as the past week everythign fluctuating. I do think i eat really healthy. I try to incorporate lean protein such as chicken(just bought fish so it will be in the diary more soon ;)). The…

Congradulations on your loss! I am about in the same boat with lbs left to lose and it has slowed down tremendously for me! I am hoping that this month will drop with all of the clean eating and exercising i have been working at!

Thank you for taking a look. I have talked to my nutritionist and hes pretty stumped as well. I did notice the sodium and have been trying to control that because i heard about the salt bloating or something like that lol! I really hope someone can help me out. I only have about 20 more lbs and about (if i go by the 29%…

Anyone?

Oh and while i have a few people here giving advice :))...my legs are naturally muscular and i do like them some days. But i have noticed that since i have been strengthening and doing Jillian etc, there is a distinct 'line','shadow' of where my muscles are and where my fat bulges/touches on my legs. I wish i could…

*Jotting notes now ;) Thank you everyone! I love the idea of intervals! I feel like im tricking my body(especially with the Jillian workouts) because it brings my heart rate up and down up and down! I definately think i will try to do set days, like just weights one day and then the next do just cardio. Yes i am excited! I…

Oh and i love doing videos at home so any video suggestions that have given good results would also be appreciated!

I think i am torn between the fat% and actual scale weight :/. Dont get me wrong, fat% is awesome! Especially because it does tone and get all of the lose skin tight again and helps lose inches. But the scale weight(someone mentioned this before and it is true) is something that is advertised and kind of bored into some…

I have a goal for my Body fat to be at about 25%. It started at 40% so im doing okay. I do think i have more muscles, especially since the workouts ive been doing are a sort of shock to my body lol, i have been running on nice days and doing weights and DVDs so maybe this is the calm before the storm ;)

I am okay with having less fat % and weighing more but it was just odd to have lost under a pound and have lost 3% fat% i was just curious if that would show up after a few weeks on the scale. But i must admit that i am a slave to the scale :/

I started at 212lbs back in august. I have noticed a chain of every other month losing 7-12lbs, just depends on what i do and dont do. Honestly any loss more than 1lb would be great right now! lol

I have been reading an aweful lot about eating back your exercise calories and upping your calories but it scares me! Ive come so far and it just seems pointless to exercise if your just eating back the calories...hmm i dont know what ill do yet. I dont want to eat more and i dont want to work out less but i might have to…

Thank you! I got it when i was 18. It will be nice this summer to be able to show it off :)

Thank you everybody for the kind words! This really just made my day! Ive still got a ways to go but im getting closer every day. I just went to walmart and bought a tape measurer so that i can track measurements. I also got 5lb weights and a Ripped in 30 DVD as a reward for running 12 times in a month! I have chosen to…

I would love this! Needing some motivation to get past my platoue(sp?) Ive been in for the past few weeks. I just started MFP about a week ago and its really helped to get the weight to shake off a little more and a challenge is just what i need! SW:212 CW:164 UGW/March GW:145/155 I hope to lose 10 pounds but even 5 or…
