Don't be to hard on yourself!!! Look at the calories you burned up exercising!! That is awesome!! You have taken a huge huge step in acknowledging something about yourself!! That in its self is wonderful!! I have the same thought process at times. We have to break our habits. Habits are hard to break but they are…

Sounds great!!! I sure will try this!!! Thanks for sharing!!:wink:

You can do this!! We are all here for the same reasons to get healthier! Be sure set small simple goals that you know that you can meet. This will help keep you motivated because you will meet these goals!! We are here for you and know that you can do this. :heart:

I hear you girl!!!! I am 6' and am told all the time "but you carry your weight so well, because you are tall" TELL THAT TO MY HEART WHEN I CARRY THIS HUNK OF LARD UP A FLIGHT OF STAIRS OR TWO!! I am so with you girl!! :happy:

Keep up the good work!!! It is amazing that watching your calorie intake and exercising really does work!! Who would have thought!!! LOL:heart:

Tuesday I got up at 430am and walked on treadmill for 20mins for a little over a mile. Then went to work for 12 hours. Same routine tomorrow but I hope to do 30 mins in the am. Doesn't seem to be much compared to the rest of ya'll. But I am goring to get me some Zumba dvds this week. Ya'll have got me wanting to try it…

DON'T GIVE UP!!!! We all have those days!! I have always been the tallest and heaviest!! Even of the guys!!! So put some of the energy into doing something to get that stress out! I know it is easier said than done but it really does work. You can do this! I am sure of it! Do what I did, I told everyone Not to bring…

I would love to try this challenge!! I have did the treadmill for 20mins and weight exercises for 10mins today. I hope increase the times with this challenge!!:heart:

I have the same problem!! Before starting to ge serious about loosing weight, i skipped breakfast, ate a lite lunch or skipped lunch then inhaleld dinner!! What has worked for me so far is to reward myself at the end of the day. If I have not skipped a meal, have exercised and I am under my calorie goal then I treat…

Don't give up!! How much are you exercising? Are you drinking plenty of H2O? Are you watching your sodium level in your food? These are the things you need to ask yourself and look at your food and exercise diary. As long as you are loosing that is a plus! you may be not eating enough if you are exercising a good amount.…

I am with you girl!! I started getting serious about getting these big simi-tires out from around my middle section on 1/19/11, I was a big 272 pounds standing 6'. I am presently down to 258. I would love to join ya'll!!:smile:

That is so great!! Keep up the good work!!!!:wink:

Thanks everyone for all the good tips! I will grab one of my daughters ipods when I get on the treadmill and I am going to get me some dvds!!:drinker:

We all have those times that we feel like just giving up but you:flowerforyou: have to just keep trying!!! 6 mins on the eliptical is great!!!

Hey there girl and Welcome!! I joined MFP a few weeks ago and I am learning soooooo much! :flowerforyou:

Hi Tessa!! You got it! friend request sent your way!!:flowerforyou:

yep it is very true!!! But the good thing about it is that it is mostly water weight. So as long as you stick to your diet during that time of the month, that water weight will go as fast as it came!:flowerforyou:

I would first check out how much sodium you have consumed and if you took in enough H2O. I am 6ft and weighed 272 at 45 years old. The first couple of weeks I stayed under 1500 calories and was exercising 3-5 times a week. I didn't see any weight loss at all and would even gain a pound or two. But by the third week I had…

yep you do have to watch the sodium level in the frozen meals. If you are feeling that hungry you may need to up your calories. It depends on your height, current weight and your goal weight. Just think of the calories you would normally consume when you are not on a diet. Any reduction is a plus for weight lose!! If you…
