  • Believe it! I lost 33 lbs in my first 3 weeks and what a great motivator that is right? I'm sure it will get harder to lose as the weight drops but I'm ready for that. Nice job and keep going!
  • Here ya go: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/16704-30-lbs-to-christmas-challenge-or-what-you-will I used to be able to click on it up top but it's not there now. sigh ...
  • Change both of those things and you will be on track. :smile: You go girl! Congrats on 15 lbs!
  • Well I must be keeping things even because the printout I have shows no sign of muscle loss so far so I will keep doing what I'm doing until it shows me otherwise. My nutritionist is watching me closely and I'm sure she knows a lot more than I do. Lets not forget that I can actually read my scale now without having to suck…
  • It's 30 Lbs or what you will. Pick any goal you want to try and reach by Christmas. For me even if I don't hit the 30 lbs I will be more motivated not to go crazy on the holiday "treats" knowing I have people in my corner and that is AWESOME! I can tell you right now I'll take all the help I can get when the holidays get…
  • Unrealistic? Almost 35 lbs lost in 3 weeks and my scale says it's real. So does my nutritionists scale and my doctor is very happy. Obesity is unhealthy and I feel anyone working to get rid of that deserves cheers. Too bad you have such a negative view, this is a SUPPORT forum isn't it? Maybe whatever YOU think everyone…
  • Of course not, we only started a week ago. Just post your start and goal weight in the Christmas Meltdown thread, there's plenty of time yet. It doesn't have to be 30 lbs, just a goal you want to hit by Christmas. Welcome aboard. :)
  • I have a Recumbent stationary bike and a Treadmill, both have calorie counters. I was surprised at first that my numbers on the treadmill was around twice as much as the bike but it does make sense. Sitting on the bike, legs are the main working muscle group where the treadmill basically has to use every muscle group plus…
  • "wasting away" LOL You look perfect! A 10+ (You sure you're married?) :brokenheart: I think people are used to seeing you with extra weight and maybe concerned you're still losing weight. Or maybe just jealous that you're perfect. :wink: Seriously the difference is amazing, I will remember you every time I hit another 20…
  • Hey ice cream has milk in it and we need calcium right? Chocolate and coffee fight cancer. Now potato chips, I think the potato part is the only good thing in them. LOL I agree they taste good but a good example of what's bad for you. Just my opinion here, don't shoot me! Oh yeah and the raspberry zingers, one of the few…
  • Good advice is never wasted. :wink: Like this: I found eating the right things gives me a heaping plate of food and I have a hard time eating it all and reaching my calories goal. My stomach cannot take it all so I don't know if I need to eat a burger, have some chocolate or drink a pop or two just to reach my calorie…
  • Not sure how recently you started your diet but most of us don't gain weight over night so losing it overnight is not going to happen. Have some patience with your body and figure out what it needs to burn the fat. Walking is good and if you're comfortable try adding more distance, Add some upper body exercises to let the…
  • The group is "Lose 30 lbs by Christmas or what you will" If you have a goal you want to reach by Christmas, it's just fun way to help stay motivated. Set your goal and see if you can reach it (If you can look at it that way). I hope to lose 30 because I have so much to lose, but if I don't make it I will have tried my best…
  • Joined and ready to go! :bigsmile:
  • I'm In! :glasses: Personally I think you have a realistic goal considering the weight you've lost already, I think it's a smart challenge to get you through the holidays. I just started this program and dropped around 25 lbs in 3 weeks (I know I know, I said I just started and my nutritionist already beat me up about it).…
