People do what they want. You don't work out because you don't want to. Weight loss is hard. I've lost 75 lbs and I can guarantee you that. No one can motivate you if you don't want to do it. The choice is yours.

It depends on HER BMR...she would still be in a deficit at 1100 most likely.

Aren't you a teacher? It's rarity. :wink: and ya...I know this...

Ok, yes...you need to exercise, but you already know this and you are already doing it. i have worked out for about 90 minutes a day/5 days a week and I've lost almost 70 lbs in a year. What you eat is more important. Also, if you want to LOOK good ... LIFT WEIGHTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is right. But, I also agree with you that it's a GREAT idea to shoot for larger goals, so then when you hit that 60 or 70 lb mark you are still doing really well. Just don't be disappointed with less than 100 lbs.

Some curry would make it awesome!! Then it would be like pineapple curry...which is my FAVORITE thing ever. The curry makes a spicy matched with the pineapple's sweetness...and it's an amazing explosion in your mouth.

You can do HIIT with anything--even strength training!! :) It makes it fun. Look up Tabata training too. :)

gorgeous!! Like...rock star gorgeous!! These pictures inspire me!!! Thank you!!

How many calories do you burn? How many calories are the shakes? I would personally rearrange my calories so I had calories for the shake post work out. The key for shakes is to go low calorie and sugar/high protein. It's tough, but there are a few! I think it is really important to eat after a work out because your…

No Kidding. I'll be honest...I think that most of my friends on here are genuine. But good grief, it is freaking ONLINE. Yes, I have done online dating...but when I do that...it is LOCAL and I live in a rural area so I can typically figure out who a person is by who they know and based on common associations. Again. This…

LMAO Maury is my hero.

this is a good article...helpful info on any cleanse!!

My brother's father in law asked me what the story was with my daughter's father the first day I met him. Uhm, she is 5 and I almost never get those questions even from people I have known for awhile. My brother's wife's family is interesting in that as soon as they were married they took in our entire family. Her sisters…

Thanks for posting this. I wondered about it too. Until recently I thought I looked like how I do now. So when I was 75 lbs heavier, I thought I was size 11/12 or 14 in my head. I could not believe the pictures. However, now that I'm a little smaller I see a fatter person than is there. I just got into a size 9/10 and I…

boredom!!! I work out when I'm stressed. I can't possibly eat because my stomach is usually tight. Boredom sucks!

I've been wondering the same thing...but I think I'm going to try Christian Mingle instead. I wonder if paying for it will weed out the jerks who just want sex...

Really? Are you new here? I mean, I'll try to be nice...but this is not a site where weight loss gimmicks are going to be promoted. sorry, but 90% of MFPers have lost it the old fashioned way--calories in, calories out...watching what we eat and working out hard. BUT If you are up for pooping your pants everyday and…

I like to cook, but I follow a recipe. My dad cooks without recipes, but I haven't mastered that skill yet. For weight loss purposes I find myself to be a very bland preparerer. Simply because it is easier to log and in general gives fewer calories. My meals typically are rice/sweet potato, a lean meat that is grilled and…

If you are just trying to run 5Ks, please do not drop $150 on Asic kayanos. They are amazing shoes. I have them, I love them, but don't spend that much, it's unnecessary. The only thing I would add is be sure to do strength training. Do squats, lunges, leg curls, leg extensions, etc... build your muscles so they can…

Welcome!! We'll just hold our noses when you come around! ;)

Graduated in 2003 at 200ish and am currently 178. Highest weight was 250lb. :)

Good to know! I don't really have a huge problem with cellulite, but I have a friend who is worried about it, so I will forward this to her. :)

Try using rice and quinoa and sweet potatoes for starches instead of bread and rolls. Just an idea. Also...you seem to eat pretty clean...what about sugary things? I was plateaued and I cut out processed sugars and it started coming off again. Best of luck to you!

Not here either... ultimately if I don't find a guy at church, I'd like to at the gym. I mean, I want to share those things that are most important to me. People do look, especially if I'm like in regular clothing...maybe if my hair is down/earrings are in, etc... I'm pretty sure I give off the vibe not to mess with me…

Seriously...put the dog in the kennel, take the kids back to their bed (tell them they can have a treat in the morning) and do something about that hubby. Have you gone to a sleep specialist? My daughter used to sleep with me, but I finally kicked her out. If the dog didn't lie completely still I'd kick him too.…

Not to be a debby downer...but can't you just look at the nutrition label and the ingredients yourself? Is that really that hard?

I'm hoping to hit 1,000 but I've fallen in love with swimming and cycling as well, so I've slowed down on the runs.

Dear stupid boy that I am in love with, I am too good for you. By the time you realize your new gf is a b*tch, I will be way out of your league and you will be left drooling while I am with someone 10x hotter, smarter, and wealthier. Sincerely, ME Wow, I feel better.
