You can do this! Start small and enjoy every success! It will change! Eating super clean and lots of water helped me before. You will succeed!

Count me in!! I have 50 to lose!! I am eating clean and would love to share ideas :) For me this is a life change and I am focusing on health too. I have started to drop and we can do this! Consistency is key for me. To keep going and not give up at any time, any day, any reason! I can't wait for the freedom it gives me…

I lost a little when it started. I looked it up and saw we burn more calories before and during? That sounds awesome! I can understand why I lose after it starts and ends a bit easier. I decided, hey I'll stay active during that time and it will help more with the weight loss! Yes! Any help is great! Lol!

When I broke up with my fiancé years ago I lost all the weight and was in amazing shape! It awesome! Keep up the great work!! I am now married and I need to lose weight after health issues. It's an awesome success lady!!

Walking is my favorite! It's not hard on my knees and it works!!

Way to go!!

Wow! Good for you!! Yay!! That's the best feeling ever! You are an inspiration!! I remember when I was fit 3 years ago and it's the best feeling ever!! I have 55 pounds to lose and I just love your story!! Keep it up and enjoy the freedom!! I am 45 and I have knee problems because I am a short woman and 55 pounds is a lot…

I'd love a buddy!! I have 55 pounds to lose. I have two kids and I am starting my health plan tomorrow at 100%!!! I lost weight and haven't lost the rest of it so here I am!! Please add me and lets do this!! I am excited to start this off! I lost all the extra weight 3 years ago and felt great. I was healthy and slept well…

Hello!! I am 45, turned in June!! I have about 55 pounds to lose and have two boys. I totally understand!! I am starting 100% tomorrow, Sunday. I lost weight and felt great eating clean and lean but I felt entitled and "rewarded" my self with binges that slowly put all the weight back on. I am in this to accomplish my…

Prove anything. Ridiculous. I asked a question. An honest simple question. Period. I do not want big muscular thighs. I am not here to judge any body for their choice in what they ultimately want to look like. If I were 100% fine with my aesthetic I wouldn't be here asking for suggestions. Key word, suggestions, not…

I probably won't ever post pics of myself on MFP. Especially after the rude responses I've encountered. Why would I subject myself to more judgement and ridicule from people that so not know anything about me except for a "username" and a question. U would never put pics of myself up anywhere public because I'm not okay…

The pic thing is hilarious! Lol!

I'm over it. Thank you.

Sorry I even posted! It's not my nature to want to hurt any one. I won't invite any one for stuff again. Just so I don't have to worry about being attacked and made fun of. It interesting to me that it's very much like high school, you ask or say something that might be dumb, regret it and plenty of people can't wait to…

Actually, if I could figure out how to retract my question I would. I didn't think I would get such an overwhelming response. I certainly don't want to feel like I shouldn't be on mfp or that I'm not welcome. I didn't and wouldn't ever post a question with malice or I'll intent. I have no intentions of trying to cause…

Sorry if I offended anyone. I apologize. I think I get the point. Thank you for your replies. It does sound sorta nutty I guess. I certainly was not trying to be offensive or mean or anything. Sorry.

Wow! Thank you so much for the responses! I really appreciate the suggestions and support! I didn't think of Jazzercise or Zymba , and actually they would probably be awesome! Thank you! Swimming too!!

Yeah, it's pretty extreme.

Hi! It's calorie cycling. It's eating 200 cal, then the next day it's 400, next day 600, next day 800 then fasting for a day. It's air of extreme but I thought I'd try it. You can Google it. I'm going to google it again to find meal plans. I'm also thinking about the PSMF diet. Both are very restrictive and short term. I…

Hi there! Okay, I'm in! I need a goal. After gaining everything I lost back, endless binging and then dieting, giving up and starting again.... I just want to stick with it. I could use some friends that understand that vicious cycle and how hard it can be. I want this thing. I know what it felt line when I was in shape…

Hi! Just saw this question. I don't eat my calories back. It makes no sense to me. If my calories are set at 1500 then I eat 1500, period. If I work off 500 calories I don't eat them back. Why would I do that? I just burned them so why defeat the purpose? Anyhow, that's how I do it :) I hope this helps!! Feel free to add…

Oops! If other people can do it so can I!!

Okay, starting over...Again! I have had so many battles with myself with this thing. I finally just got to the point where I can't justify any reason I have to not do this thing and way healthy. The bottom line is that I don't feel good when I give up and eat junk and sit around. It feels lousy and that's not what I want.…

I agree!! Having support makes all the difference! Add me if you want :)

I second that suggestion re simple carbs. Protein builds muscle, muscle burns calories. Your body uses more energy to maintain the muscle. There is a lot if really interesting information based in actual study groups regarding how simple carbs affect your blood sugar and therefore your body's fat storage response.…

Hi :) Good for you caring enough about your health to speak up and ask questions! Despite judgment. If you do not want to drop more weight perhaps a power smoothie with healthy probiotics from full fat yogurt and bananas with protein powder added. I would definitely choose healthy calories and add in protein for myself.…

Meesh, Good job! I got to level two and it hurt my knees so as I said before I took a day off and decided to start level one all over lol! I'm done with day four! I did it once today instead of twice. Sometimes I over do it! Hope your holiday is awesome!!

Meesh, Good for you starting up again! I took one day to rest my knees and then started up level one all over again! I'm in day 3 now. I wanted to do it again as I am totally in PMS! Lol! It's a killer ion my energy levels! Especially when I am limiting my calories and carbs. Carbs from raw veggies only ( dark greens ,…

Katrina, Good to hear that! It's so much easier that way!! Good for you! I started level one over yesterday :) I just wanted to do it agian I probably sound nuts hahahaha! It's going to be good though!

Hi ladies! I have NEVER been able to keep the weight off! I lost it and gained it back. My metabolism is soooo different. So, this is a life style change for me. I am doing what I did before, but the difference is that this time I am making permanent changes instead of temporary ones. I am doing what has worked before…
