Thanks for sharing, It feels so good so feel happy with myself, to be proud of myself, for the the first time in 10 years if not more.

I am in week 10 of weight loss, 28 pounds lost and about 2 weeks ago (25lbs lost) people started noticing. My husband notices in my clothes, he tells me my jeans are baggy on me. I personally noticed about 20 lbs lost in my clothes.

Good thing to know since I just purchased a FT7 and started using it yesterday. Thanks so much.

Just ordered the Polar FT7 f/Woman for $76.00, I cant wait for it to get here!!! Thanks for all of the feedback!!!

I am looking at the FT7 now, it seems like the most universal to start with. Thank you for all your help. I will continue my research. Thanks again!!!!

BUMP

Thank you!!! I hope I can follow in your footsteps.

Thank you everyone I am sure you read this and said "duh" but becuase I have finally been so successful I am afraid of making a "wrong" move and damaging the progress thus far. Thank you again for your help. I love MFP!

I find alot of similarties in our storeis as well as body changes, very motivating. At my heaviest I was 219 pounds and as of my weigh in this past Friday I am down 23 pounds. It is fun discovering your body =) Congrats girl you look awesome! Keep up the great work!

Awesome! You look Hot! Way to go!!

Exactly, even if I haven't lost "x" pounds, If I can wear a dress...you know the cute sundresses and not have the "pregnant" apperance it will boost my motivation and self-esteem at ton. Not to mention, it is always rewarding to slide my belt back an extra notch. Or Not have to wrestle with my bra to get it on---LMAO!

I do the same thing, especially with drinks....I think to myself, you have deserved this and then of course after several drinks I make very poor food choices. ;(

From bum to YUM....Now that wasn't very nice but seriously. Awesome job! Lookin Hot! Keep up the good work and keep postin' pics!! :)

Great Job, 40 pounds is my mini goals for 16 weeks, I hope I can be as successful as you.

How can I learn about the 17 day diet?

BUMP

I was reading about 200 sit ups and googled a push up challenge and this is what I found, I am going to try both, I would love to be able to say I can do 10 push ups LOL. http://hundredpushups.com/what.html

I can't do push-ups either, but wall push-ups or inclined push-ups are a little easier, just don't cheat yourself if it doesn't feel like you are getting anything from it, then your not, it should be a challege for you.

Thanks! I am in, 4 weeks ago I couldn't do 1 sit up. Last week, with help my friend got me to do 4 sets of 20 but it wasn't pretty. I'd like to be able to do 200! I know planks also help build up your core strenth and will help you with sit ups.

I could be wrong but isn't that why they suggest zig zag calorie counting? I just read about zig zagging on Friday and I am giving it a try. It seems to make sense to me.

COULDNT AGREE MORE!!

And yes when I just type chinese food, I get the calorie contents to come up. I think w/avoiding the sauce I can avoid the high level of sodium. Tomorrow is my weigh in for Biggest Loser at work and I dont want to be retaining a bunch of water for the weigh in.

Thanks guys, this does help. I think I am going with the chicken and steamed vegtables with rice and sauce on the side. I may even not get the rice or sauce. A co-worker says the local place is usually pretty good about "custom" orders.

Welcome. I started at 1300/day and found it very difficult to ONLY eat that amount, now 6 weeks later and I am struggling to consume that much. WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT! Anyway, I am aiming for 1200 since I know it is unhealthy to be under. I too love to get new recipies or share anything I learn. Feel free to add me.

Thank you for all the information...even though I am hearing mixed things I think there are valid points in everything everyone is listing. I am sure just in "weight loss" alone there are alot of opinions or beliefs. I just dont want cause harm to my body, after all I am trying to be healthy. I have plenty of weight to…

I am eating small. For instance I had a hard boiled egg at 8am, then at 10am I had a greek yogurt. At 12 I will eat my lunch and then depending if I am hungry eat at 2 or 3 Then dinner at 6ish.

I am aiming for every 2 hours. Usually this is not a problem for me but I have been so busy at work I havent thought about it.

I am just worried because the past 4-5 days I have consumed under 1200 calories (not purposely) but my friend expressed great concern that my body will go into starvation mode and start storing everything I consume, I am making sure to eat something every 2 hours today but I hope the damage isn't done. ;(
