Sure i'm 5'4, currently 207 lbs.......about 3 months with the scale not moving. I measure out everything, count, weigh. I use the containers from 21 day fix. I try to eat the calories I burn from a workout back. In a day it is saying i've burned over 2000 calories, there is no way I can eat that much back. Kkenseth, yes I…

Hi all, my name is Tressa.........4 years ago I lost 50 pounds, got lazy gained 15 back, now trying to get it off again and its not moving......would love to have a few new friends for support and in the same boat.........

This was an awesome post!! Thanks so much for taking the time to post this! I also would like to know when you eat under your calorie goal, you get this message that if you keep eating like this, you will weigh ...so much in 5 weeks.........well guess what i've been told that for a year and I still haven't got to that…

Ok i'm in...........I need the support and motivation!!! Lets do this!!! SW: 203.6 CW: 203.6 GW: 160 3/1: 203.6 UGH this is killing me!!!!!! I've lost 45 pounds before and its creeping back and It doesn't want to leave this time!!!! Hopefully this will get me going!!

Sorry forgot about weighing in weekly........soooooooo here are my numbers as of yesterday SW 199 GW 165 CW as of 11/18: 195 yay me!!!

I'm in........starting this back up again. I need accountability!! lol SW: 199 CW: 197 GW: 160 for now....we'll see if I want to change it once I get there!! 11/1: 197

Thank you all for you responses......First, yes I do hit the button to start an activity and I also hit stop when its over. I just really thought it was going to be more accurate and if you read the hype it would seem that it is. I had the bodybugg and that was awesome, I thought the fitbit would have been in the same…

But it easily registerd over 7,000 steps. And if all my info is in, it should be accurate, if not, then what your saying is I paid $100 for a pedometer???

Thank you all soooooooooooooo much!!!!

Red, I was doing the cardio pylometric one....yeah i'm going to have to invest in a heart rate monitor, I use to have the bodybugg, now is the time I wish I still had it.....lol

Congrats!! and yes sometimes it is the little things that make us happy. But me as a nurse, knows, what to much sodium can do to you. Once you cut out the diet soda and stick to water and some green tea, you will notice a bigger difference. Keep up the great work and you will see sooooooooooo many changes. You think you…

Thanks for all the info............I know that my trainer as well told me, that with the pooch, its cardio to get rid of it.......many have also said, that sure you can do the ab exercises but they might make your pooch look bigger since the fat is sitting on top of tones muscle.............I think i'll just cut it…

I have the bodybugg, and it not only monitors your calories out, it does monitor heart rate and calories burned during vigorous exercise, and with anything you do...........it also has a pedometer in it as well to monitor your steps, I have been using it since April and its a great tool to have, You can get the bodybugg…

Thanks for the responses.......to answer some of your questions.....yes I do exercise, I go to the gym at least 4 days a week, I also do strength training, and everytime I go, its a different routine I do........I also do not drink pop, aka soda, and I stay away from chocolate all the time......and as far as the salt…

Anyone thats interested............I posted a May/June challenge!! Its under the diet and exercise area...........hope you join me!!

Yes it is a general guideline, and I didn't put the 500 X 7 = 3500 because I assumed most people would be able to figure that out, since I did say that you would need 500 a day for a week...........hence 7 days in a week..........but I do hope this helps....and if you want to have more of a deficit then you would lose more…

Ok Arielle, here is the easiest way I can explain it............say you exercise and the total amount of calories you burn is 2400 in a day, and just say that the calories you eat equal 1900.......if you take the 2400 and subtract 1900 that leaves you with 500 calories, that is your calorie deficit, thats what you need…

hey arewethereyet, thanks for putting them up, I didn't know how to.........lol.............Thanks everyone, I feel great, and I have sooooooooo much more energy!!

Wow so glad to see that i'm not the only nutcase.......haha, kidding, that weighs herself daily.........and I do log if Its changed. I know I shouldn't but heck I just can't help myself.......I usually weigh myself every morning as soon as I get up.

Hello everyone..........I see we are doing pretty darn good........i'm only down 5 1/2 pounds, but thats ok.........I have just started using the bodybugg, and I must say I love it! You can look at the site after uploading your data and entering your food and you can actually see where your weakness and strong points…

Welcome on your new journey in life........we are all in this together, and this site is a great support group for you........So Enjoy!!

Hello all.........well I'm still down only 3 pounds.........i'm starting to get aggravated and think I need to take a serious look at what i'm doing.......I've been doing so well up until now.......hmmmmmmm but i'm going to stick in there and keep it up, and hopefully more will come off.......I meet with the trainer…

I agree with the drawstring idea........I have gotten my workout apparel at walmart only because they carry the Danskin line and I love it......everything i've bought is very comfortable, some with drawstring, some without, some with a bit of spandex material, but I havent had any trouble with them falling down, even…

Howdy everyone!! Are we all doing great I hope?? My official weigh in date is tomorrow, but i'm one of those people that look at the scale daily....I know I shouldn't but I just can't help myself......lol....Today my scale at home said one thing, scale at the gym said another........what one do you go by?? lol Keep up the…

I personally am not a huge fan of plain water, so what I drink most is Propel flavored water........its not carbonated like so many other flavored waters and it taste great......makes drinking water a lot easier. I've also noticed with drinking water my skin looks sooooo much better, even my daughter whom I just visited…

Thanks for all the advice, I appreciate it........Borisda, I do weight training 3 times a week to tone my muscles, the way I look at it is, why lose the weight and not tone up, then u have that extra skin just hanging around.......haha, but thanks again for all the advice!!

Hello all..............I see we are all doing great!! Well I came back from VA on Sunday, weighed myself Monday morning and I'm down 3 lbs since the beginning of April.......sooooooo that means 7 lbs to go for me to complete my challenge....I so can't wait, but if I don't make the 10, hell i'll be happy with 8 or…

Hello everyone!! Sorry I haven't been here since I started this challenge I'm currently on vacation in VA to see my daughter and granddaughter. I'm doing good and watching what I'm eating I even took the time to go to a local gym to do a zumba class. Sooooo glad to see everyone is doing sooooo good. My weigh in this week…

Well I must say I absolutely love zumba!! It is my favorite form of exercise to do. If u don't know what zumba is. It's a mix of Latin dance and aerobics and is a whole lot of fun!! Thanks all for the comments

Well kinda figured that.........haha, I do lots of cardio, between the machines and zumba, so I guess it all takes a bit of time til they appear again........lol
