Cardio and probably maintenance to moderately heavy weights. Cut calories and watch your macros. Lots of water! Maybe only eat back like 50% of your exercised cals back but invest in a HRM to insure you're not over estimating cals burned, this is detrimental to weight loss as most calorie calculators (including MFP) way…

Awe!! Welcome back and congrats on your new blessing!!!

Awesome! I'm down over 50lbs too! Congrats in your amazing loss!!

When I feel like I want something sweet I make a chocolate protein shake with frozen banana and some times add a 1/2 tablespoon of coconut oil to get that healthy fat to help satisfy the macro balance. Also after dinner I always have a few prunes (don't laugh, I love them) or some frozen pineapple chunks for a sweet treat.…

You are amazing and that in the face of serious health problems you are fighting to work through them for a healthier you is so very admirable! God is good and he's got your back!

You got this, think of past failures as practice runs and keep telling yourself that this time is the real deal! You can do it!

Congrats on 90! That is amazing and very inspiring! Definitely will send a request and I am always open to adding anyone for accountability and positive motivation! Feel free to add!

I am always happy to make new friends!

Yeah, the holidays had me slacking, along with a fairly persistent cough that took a month to get rid of water having a terrible cold...I so know how that "starting over" feeling goes! Awesome you're getting back to it though!! Kudos for not giving up! Good luck to you!

I sure do! I log everyday. Feel free to add me! :flowerforyou:

I am always up for new friends! I log everyday. =)

I did something very similar. Twice. I would do really good for a bit and then as soon as I got busy with life, kids, school, husband...I'd stop tracking and stop working out. Then a week later I would feel horrible and talk myself into believing that it's okay to just be fat and I just needed to find a way to be…

I am a conscientious sick exerciser. I wouldn't dream of contaminating anyone other than my own family members while under the weather. ;)

Wow, thank you everyone for taking time to reply! I don't feel too bad at all, but I do feel it coming on. Based on your helpful responses, I decided I am going to power through and should I start to feel worse over the next few days (I've already had a long talk with my body and told it we don't have time for this…

37. Feel free to add me. =)

Hi moma! Yay, I'm so glad you joined this site! Most of the people here are so great! There's a couple of meanies in the message boards but everybody seems to just ignore them. Lols. I like to check this intro board every so often to find nice people for support and friendship, otherwise it can be hard to find pals unless…

Interesting...You refer to "falling off the wagon" in terms of your weight loss journey. You also state that you are "addicted to tattoos". These comments are ways in which you describe yourself on your profile... Seems a tad opportunistic of you, don't you think? Pointing fingers and all...she used the term inaccurately…

There are a few people in here that I had really found to be inspiring and super knowledgeable in many post on other threads. People I would have asked for a bit of information or even a little guidance from in terms of what worked for them and their experience with different situations...I cannot begin to express my…

37 *gasp* in two days and I still feel like I'm 25! Age requirement...check. Motivated...check. I'm in! :)

Amazing! Congrats to you and your awesome achievement! You look fabulous!

Hmm...I'm kinda weird when it comes to prepackaged food in terms of meals. The only prepackaged/premade meals I ever eat are things like maybe a lasagna or a frozen pizza. That's as close to quick convenience food as I will get. I don't even own a microwave, much to my husband's displeasure. The stuff just tastes horrible…

My diary is open and I log in every day. Feel free to add me!

Raw onion for sure! Raw pig will give you worms...***makes barfing gesture***

Welcome Wendy! Best of luck on your journey!

My deepest condolences... Request sent with positive healing energies!
