I love the elliptical!! I put on music I love to dance to (which is usually latin music LoL) and go to town! have you tried doing it in reverse? that's a killer but it feels so good afterwards and doing the ellipitcal I have seen a huge difference in my legs. Keep it up girl you're doing wonderful :smile:

Welcome to MFP! Good luck on your journey :flowerforyou:

That fantastic!! I started doing the same and am now in a smaller size in just 2 weeks.............thanks for being my friend and for you motivation :flowerforyou:

I tell people about this site all the time, I don't think a day goes by that it doesn't come up in conversation at some point in time throughout the day. I have my posts going to facebook hoping people see it and want to join. I originally joined to support my best friend and now I use it on a daily basis :smile:

Welcome to MFP!! So glad you decided to start using the app. I have had tons of support and motivation through out my time on here so far and it just gets better. Feel free to add me as a friend if you like! Good luck on your journey :flowerforyou:

That's awesome!! And I heard great things about the 30 day shred.........Happy Birthday!! Good luck on the rest of your journey =)

:flowerforyou: Thank you ladies

Unfortuantely I don't fit into your age catagory, but good luck on your journey!! I know you will find lots of motivation here :smile:

eliminating carbs is very hard!! I tried it before, good luck :smooched:

B vitamins are a big help, if your mulit vitamin doens't have enough try using a b12 supplement along with it, protein shakes/bars, and def change what you eat. If you are eating heavy meals with a lot of fat that can make you sluggish as well. I noticed that before. Also just try doing some jumping jacks or a brisk walk…

I started adding cleaning along with the normal excercises from the gym.....really wish I could add what I walk in a day at work tho LoL I look at it as it all counts, it's just up to you if you want to log everything like that or not. :flowerforyou:

Hello...........jello shots here:bigsmile: LoL

It's all a state of mind.........You feel good about the way you look and you look great, so who cares what other people think. I don't know you on a personal basis but you have been my friend for some time on MFP and I wouldn't take you to be stuck up or be the type of person to let what others think about what you wear…

thank you all so much!! You all have helped a lot and I truly appreciate it :flowerforyou:

I haven't had problems with fruits and veggies, just corn LoL and the high fatty foods seem to pass thru a little quicker but so far no major problems. I think the protein is my problem too, I don't eat enough and I try to eat protein bars once in a while but it's not the same

Awesome job you look wonderful!! Congrats!!

Thank you :flowerforyou:

I never ate my calories I burned at the gym, some people say you are supposed to but I don't like to over stuff myself so I eat what I can. I think you are doing fine and it also kinda makes up for those guilty days if you're not eating back all your burned calories.

You look amazing! And you have every right to pose any way you want!! Congrats! You have done a wonderful job :smile:

In my opinion binge eating is a mental thing, try thinking about what you are about to put into your mouth and what it will do to your body and if you actually are even hungry. Also try to plan your meals ahead of time. It takes time to get used to it but it helps tremendously!! I think logging my food on here helps me see…

I cut back on carbs and lowered my fat intake and I eat a bunch of small "meals" a day to keep my metabolism working properly...........

Congrats on choosing to use MFP! I am kinda in the same boat as you, started at 213, now 186 and still going. Good luck on your journey!! Feel free to add me as a friend if you like :flowerforyou:

Congrats for coming to MFP!! I wish you all the luck along your journey, and know you aren't alone!! :flowerforyou:

I'm always told to eat more protein. They claim protein helps you stay satisfied longer. I am going to try protein bars and see if it works. Good luck :smile:

I am a compulsive eater, but I know my weaknesses and I don't bring that food into the house. If and when I do, I make sure it is small portions, enough for one sitting and that's it. It's a mental thing, you have to find what works for you to "fix" the problem. To be honest I seem to be a compulsive eater on a sunday for…

Awesome job!! Congrats!! :bigsmile:

this made me laugh!! I wouldn't of been able to keep my mouth shut!! So proud of you for that!! I don't ever say anything negative about anyone at the gym. If anything I try to help people try different things if I over hear them talking about not knowing how to do something or why something isn't working for them. He…

I agree here, this is a church affair and they aren't supposed to judge anyone. Either way I would take it. Maybe you could send a message to others when they are eating junk and you are eating a healthy sandwich :smile:

Congrats!!! You look awesome! One thing I noticed the most is the big smile on your face in the after pic.......losing weight is a great accomplishment and even tho I don't know you personally I am proud of you :flowerforyou:

I smile and say hi, how are you today..........Where I'm from people tend not to talk to each other walking down the street they seem to want to get where they are going and that's it. When I say hi and ask them how they are, they always seem shocked at first but then they smile and that gives me a good feeling knowing I…
