Tremendous success! You are doing fantastic! Don't stress so much about the last little amount you want to lose. It will come off.

My name is Cana. I've lost just over 50 lbs and am in maintenance mode, but I would like to lose 6% more body fat and to get toned. So that gets me to my goals: 1. Work out for 15-20 minutes daily. I am gone to work/commute from 7:30 am - 11:30 pm, so this is doable for me. 2. Drink 8-10 glasses of water each day. (Not a…

I need a friend like you. I can log something absolutely horrible and no one (except one) would ever say anything. I am one of those that needs it brought to my attention. Its great you are giving insight to others.

I am brutally honest and warned my MFP friends up front that I would be. I would like the same from my MFP friends, but only one will ever say anything if she doesn't like what I ate for the day. I appreciate her input and concern.

I agree along with "Gramma got run over by a reindeer". I can't shut the radio off fast enough!

I love them on guys and girls, but I don't like someone covered with them. I like a nice one on a guys in the shoulder/arm area. Don't like them on their necks or fingers. Girls are nice, but in moderation. I have dragon flies on my foot and a lady bug and flower on my lower calf. Still planning one more on my lower abs,…

I have gone from a size 14 to a size 2 or 4 in jeans (depending on the manufacturer - GAP and Old Navy seem to run bigger and I can wear a 0 in their jeans.) I have gone from a size XL to a size S (or M - again depending on manufacturers) in tops. I have gone from a size 14 to a size 4 in a dress size. I have gone from a…

I get a 6" Oven Roasted Chicken on a flatbread with lettuce, Green Peppers, Banana Peppers, Tomato Slices and just a bit of hot sauce. It's only 350 calories and 8 grams of fat. I skip the cheese to save myself on wasted calories, can't really taste it anyways. It's easier to taste the rest of the sandwich if you get a…

I think you look great now! You did an amazing job! I would think you would be in maintenance mode now to maintain and not gain.

Love Princess Bride! Now that I'm reading everyone's movie choices I feel like having a movie fest at home!

OMG....I love Shaun of the Dead!

My goal was to be at 21% body fat by Christmas and it just isn't going to happen! Still at 27% UGH! It just won't budge. I know I need to kick it up a notch, I just need someone to kick my *kitten* into gear and yell at me when I'm doing good enough. :sad: Feel free to tell me to get with it. I need a "not so nice" guy/gal…

Love Braveheart, but I always skip the last two minutes....weird, but I hate to see him get tortured.

Robin Hood (Kevin Costner versions) and Sweet Home Alabama. I also love Return to Me. .... My kids hate it but I watch the old black and white version of The Christmas Carol ....all year long! :bigsmile:

I'm at my goal weight, but not my goal shape. Belly is still a bit flabby. If it ever flattens and tones, I would love to get a tattoo. I already have it designed!

If you are home you can have gin (Choose a top shelf brand like bombay saphire or tangeray - cheap gin is awful). Mix it with diet tonic and squeeze in a quarter or half of a fresh lime! Love it! Regular tonic has 120 calories per 8 ounces. Diet has none. Each tonic has its own distinct flavor so try out a couple to you…

I have changed mine to be drinking at least 8 glasses of water each day and getting in 30 minutes of pilates. I really need the toning.

Don't get me wrong I LOVE SALT. I crave it, lucky for me I have very low blood pressure, but they say raw nuts are better for you than roasted and I could only find raw unsalted almonds so I stick with those.

I eat all nuts raw, unroasted and unsalted. I learned to love the taste in no time.

I'm late with my two week goal.... To get at least 15 minutes of exercise each day. Considering I work 13.5 hours a day and spend an additional 2 hours in traffic this would be good for me. Since the weather has turned cold, I've basically quit walking so I don't get any exercise. Need to change that!

I'm at 132 this week....still hanging around that number.

I know you want to lose it quickly...who doesn't? But it's not going to happen. Even if you starved yourself and I mean no food whatsoever for 30 days, I doubt you would get there. You probably didn't put it on in 30 days and it's not going to come off in 30 days. Probably could lose 10 or maybe even 15 but that is with…

Baked yams/sweet potatoes are delicious. We love spaghetti squash too.

Please don't give up. You have done so much already. If you slide back, you will have to lose it all over again. You don't want to have to do that. Pick yourself up, wipe yourself off and get back on the wagon! Friend me if you need support, but know this - I can be brutally honest if I think you are slacking :noway:

I'm late but would love to join. Have been looking for a group interested in losing body fat and gave up because I could never find one. I'm 5'6" and weigh 132 my body fat is 27%. I would love to get down to 21% by year end. Do you think this is doable? I'm just starting with some strength training and get some cardio in,…

My name is Cana. I'm actually the Mother of the Bride. The happy day for my daughter Jax is 07/21/2012. I want to rock that MOB dress! I want to lose 8% body fat by then - I'm currently at 27%. I was at 36% when I started my weight loss journey and have already lost 51 pounds. I work 12 hour days Monday - Friday. Actually…

I do eat unroasted unsalted almonds but then have to watch I don't go over on fats. :grumble:

I sill look as uncoordinated as a toddler learning to walk. Anyone else have this problem? I seem to be behind all the time. Hate it :grumble: I will keep trying but may have to switch to something else if I can't get the hang of it. I have three free pilates classes coming up along with a session with a new nutritionist…

I was so exhausted I didn't get my butterflies in last night. I will get them in today along with the pushups. I promise!!!

Very informative site!
