amazing pics and stats! Bumping so I can look back for inspiration too!

Awesome job! you look amazing!

This! :)

Awe - don't be sad! It happens, you'll be ok! Prediabetes is really a wake up call diagnosis and you're doing the right thing getting back on MFP! TG are harder to control but hopefully they'll come down as you lose weight and exercise. If I may make one suggestion - maybe don't cut out all your sugar and cut down…

This is brilliant. I know this is an old post but I was looking for advice for all these upcoming holiday parties. I just ate all my day's calories at the last two holiday luncheons and I see this becoming a pattern! But I lovvvve this advice, because it's true, the other day when I ate too much at the luncheon I was like,…

A HEARTY CONGRATULATIONS!!!! Soooo inspiring!

Any of you feel free to add me. :-) I'm 31 & just had a baby but I'm trying to lose mainly pre-baby weight, didn't gain much during pregnancy. But I want to get healthy to be a good role model for my daughter. :-)

SW: 225 CW:206.7 GW :150 June 1 - 210.7 June 8 - 208 June 15 - 206.7 June 22 - June 28 - End of the Month - Great to see everyone's progress. It's very motivating -Thank you & Keep up the good work!

Hi guys - I'm 16 weeks and was diagnosed with Gestational diabetes by 8 weeks so have been on Glyburide 2.5mg at night for that and have been tracking my food. My OB said it would be good for me to lose 10-15 pounds during my first trimester so I left my calorie level at -0.5 lbs/week during the first trimester which gave…

Yum - love both Sloppy Joes and Meatloaf so will def try this one.

Gemi's right - u can use MFP's numbers. They just allow for people with different goals, which is part of what makes the site so great! Like for me - at 215lbs/62"/30 y/o and moderately active, my BMR is 1735 and my TDEE comes out to 2300 at a 15% cut. When I set MFP to lightly active and 0.5lb loss/wk it gives me 1970…

this looks great - def going to try that lasagna!

Thanks! I understand, I'm taking the plunge with NROLFW because of the EM2WL ladies and their amazing muscles. I'm going to take is slow and steady and i'm hoping to be less of a marshmallow after 6 months! :-)

Is that a separate group or a thread on the EM2WL group? Bc I'd love to hear more - i'm still reading mine - but hoping to start the workouts soon and to be honest i'm more scared than anything. I'm terrified of lifting heavy - and i know that sounds soooo lame - but even though i'm big i consider myself a weak marshmallow…

Thank you so much for this review!!!! I have looked for a good comparison on here and not had any luck until your review. I loved the detail of it. I was definitely expecting a bigger difference in the calorie burn measurements but relieved to see that wasn't an issue. I'm definitely leaning towards a FB ultra now. Thanks…

I tried these and was not at all impressed. I really wanted them to be great but sadly, no.

Thank you so much Lucia and in general thank you for this whole "movement" that you've started with this group. You and Kiki are so inspiring. It's really exciting b/c I love my food and I was losing but I was sad many a time thinking of how much I used to be able to eat before. LOL. That sounds so sad. but it's true, so…

Ok, so I upped my cals to moderate activity TDEE -15% which is 2519 (CRAZY!!!) but when I tried to up my husband's cal's he literally called me at work to tell me to put them back to 1850 (his regular MFP goal). LOL. (Until now he's just tracked his food and I've set his cal's for him). I told him to read up on this stuff…

Thank you so much for sharing! That was a very encouraging post!

Thanks so much Raz!!! U rock. :-) SO...I decided to take the plunge and made both me and hubby moderately active. So I'm going to be eating 2519 calories!!!!!!! Crazy!!!!!!!!!!!! I'll try not to chicken out :-) Keep me strong Raz :-) And I'll try to keep my hubby strong. hehe - that is assuming he'll even try it :-)

Thanks so much Raz for calculating it for me! I think I'm more of a lightly active person than moderately active so that gave me 2233 (15%) or 2102 (20%) for my numbers. I think I'll go with the 15% so I have somewhere to go if I'm not losing well after a while. But I tried doing this for my hubby who's also on MFP and for…
