Hi everyone! When I began my weight loss journey back this passed July, I was 202 lbs. I joined mfp in early August. I have been working 6 days a week for 2 months now and am tired. However, with great determination I have stuck with my diet and exercise plan...not that I haven't been tempted. lol Here are my stats as of…

I've lost a small bale of hay and a Guinea pig.

Sw- 177 lbs Cw- 151 lbs Ugw- 130 lbs Total loss this week: -3 lbs Total challenge loss: -26 lbs Hard work and dedication really pays off!

Got a big day ahead of me tomorrow with work and errands. I will just check in now. My stats as of starting this challenge are: Sw-177 lbs Cw- 154 lbs Ugw- 130 lbs Total loss this wk: -2 lbs Total challenge loss: -23 lbs Good luck to everyone going into this next week! You can do it!

Yes, I did. That is because I went through this before as my body was not getting enough nutrients. I up'ed my caloric in take by 100 calories and I began to see weight loss again. I also gave other good advice, which others have seemed to over look. Op already said that starvation mode is not her situation and that is OK.

I thought that we were all adults here. If you don't agree with my advice, OK. How about just give your own advice instead of bashing mine. Thanks.

Exactly what I was trying to say. Thanks!

Your metabolism could be in starvation mode if you are eating below your calorie limit. This can cause your body to create fat stores because it is in defense mode. I advise that you up your cals, workout at least 3-5 days a week and watch your sodium in take as well. Sodium in high quantity causes water weight gain. I…

Checking in too! As of starting the challenge stats are: Sw-177 lbs Cw- 156 lbs Ugw- 130 lbs Total Loss: - 21 lbs Goal is already met for the challenge but, I will stick it out here to see how much further I can go by Christmas. Mfp has done wonders for my health and I can hardly believe my results. Congrats to everyone…

Any diet which limits you to one type of food for a long period of time seems destined for failure... in my opinion.

1.) Chicken 2.) Steamed vegetables 3.) Eggs

Hi, checking in too! My stats as of starting the challenge: Sw--177 lbs Cw--159 lbs Ugw-- 130 lbs Total Challenge loss is -18 lbs! Almost there!

Thanks for the shout out, Terri! You are doing so great! Congrats on making it this far! We are going to rock the next weigh in...I know it!:happy:

I workout 5-6 days a week. My cardio exercises are usually 60-70 minutes long. The cal burn is usually between 750-830 cals each time as well. Depends on how I feel that day. I use a stationary bike with levels of resistance and a cal counter.

My favorite quote is: "What are you doing to lose weight?" --As if healthy eating and exercise isn't obvious. Yet, they so look stunned by my response. Another response that I have gotten from a friend was: "I am so jealous of your weight loss. I want to lose weight too. " --That is really annoying to me because I don't…

Amazing results!! You look great!:happy:

When I was 200 lbs, I felt fat physically but it really sunk in when I would shop for clothes (nothing would fit), look at myself in a full length mirror and saw pics of myself. I hated and avoided getting my picture taking all of the time after that. Now, -37 lbs later I know that I am still fat but feel much more…

UPDATED Goals: * To cook at least 95% of my meals myself so that I can properly log my nutritional facts * To keep sugary foods at bay so that I don't have a relapse * To drink water or a healthy snack whenever I may have a craving instead of binging * To exercise 5-6 days per week for no less that 60 min * To be in the…

I eat on average 1200 cals per day. I am not starving myself, my body is satisfied. 3 solid meals and 2 snacks work for me. It depends on what you eat too. I get lots of protein and stay within a limit on my carbs. I focus on making each meal nutritional with veggies, a carb and protein. I also like fruit and yogurt. To…

I realized that you were trying to be supportive. However, may be should watch the way that we word things.

I am sorry that that happened to you. :-( Some people get pleasure out of making others feel bad about themselves. You just have to push forward and not care what anyone has to say. 36 lbs ago, a child called me "a big b****". Yes, it did hurt but I used it as my motivation. Even though I still have a ways to go, I am on…

Those are awesome results! Congrats on your accomplishments!
