Hi Charlyfitness13, Thanks for your response! I am definitely sticking with it and taking my week 4 progress photos tomorrow morning. I'm looking forward to seeing results in pics and not focus so much on the scale! Those numbers are all over the place lol. Thanks for your kind words, much appreciated :)

I was in your shoes about a year and a half ago! I've reset my profile because I took a few months "off" of MFP and recently re-joined, but all in all I've lost a total of 18lbs and I am 5'2. If you aren't comfortable lifting random weights at the gym or don't know what to do (like I was), I recommend you buy some workout…

Hi! I just saw your post and I have to say I am feeling a little discouraged so wanted to reach out to you. When did you first notice weight loss? 17 lbs is absolutely amazing, congrats!!! I just started pre-training week 4, and have been eating between 1200-1500 clean cals a day and lo and behold the scale this morning…

Thanks for all the replies. I am going to experiment with C4 and coffee/whey... will update here after I try both! :)

I started adding in a 20 minute strength DVD (jillian michael's) after 40 mins on the elliptical, 3-4x a week, and have seen major results! I bought a pair of jeans 2 weeks ago that are already too loose! :)

Thanks for the suggestions! I guess I just mean 'for women' in that I don't want something loaded with creatine. Most of the ones I've found have tons of creatine, which I thought is more for men to bulk up and that it makes you retain water like crazy. Maybe I'm wrong!

Do you use spotify? I have a workout playlist of around 150 upbeat songs I listen to on shuffle! If you are a spotify user, you can subscribe to other people's playlists.

I like cardio max, I did levels one and two yesterday and my HRM said I burned 351 cals. I love Boot Camp, Last Chance Workout, Power Ab Blast, and Jillian Michael's kickbox fast fix! I do 25 mins on the elliptical then add a BL DVD 4-5 days a week. I've lost 3lbs in the last 2 weeks, which is a lot on my 5'2 135lb frame!…

I have a ton of biggest loser DVDs, I love them! I have a heart rate monitor now that I use, but before I used to log them as circuit training. Which ones are you starting?

OMG I love my elliptical! I use it for at least 25 minutes every day, usually followed by a weights/strength training DVD. My typical elliptical workout looks like this: 00:00-05:00 Warm up, Level 1 05:00-07:00 Vigorous, Level 10 (HR usually between 180-190) 07:00-08:00 Recover, Level 5 08:00-09:00 Moderate, Pedal…

Thank you for the response! I am going to up my calories a bit and see if that works. In regards to the 1200, everything I have read has said to not fall below 1200 calories a day or your body will enter into 'starvation mode,' based on information from the National Institute for Health. I was just curious as to whether…
