CrAzY woman! lol I just can barely get past 64!

I bet that feels better than seeing a pound gone on the scale! WOOT! How's everyone doing? My week is going awesome. I'm working my butt off, eating good, and feelin great!

I don't have all the answers but, you said... "There isn't any fat left to them".....Your muscles will look alot different as your cardio exercises burn the fat. You now are revealing what was there :) I know I have pipes...I am a muscular person...my arms and legs for sure.....but the fat is hiding them :( Heck maybe I…

WOW! You look fantastic! So motivating! Keep it up!

WOW! Everyone is doing fantastic! Way to go :D 199.9 Here we come!

Same! 150 was perfect for me...I don't like the collar bones sticking out :(

Thanks for the advice!

Hmmm, I don't know if I totally understand this. Let me see if I get this? I used an online calculator to figure out how much calories I burn a day. It says my BMR is 1807 and if I'm lightly active, 2321, if I'm moderatley active then I need 2678. I don't know which one to use. I have five kids, do a load of laundry a day,…

bump :D

WOW! Fantastic job! Thanks for posting, how encouraging! Keep it up!

Welcome, nice to meet you! I just wanted to make a suggestion that may work for you, even with a sprain....could you do swimming? great exercise, no impact.....

Sorry, was on holidays...here's my new weight.....223

Hmmmm.....

Trying the signature!

Hello everyone! My name is Charlene, just turned thirty, stay at home Mom with five children. I have homeschooled my children for four years and this year three of them will be off to school! I kinda excited and kinda sad about that! I have struggled for most of my life with weight loss. After I first met my husband, I…

You are looking fantastic and you will hit your goal! Way to be consistant and really stick with it! Thanks for confirming what I thought bout walking!

I used walking and a good diet to lose 60 pds in 5 months....years ago. Now I've got to do it again :( Stupid me, should'a kept walking. PS I also did some very light weights and situps

I wasn't going to read through the whole 19 pages, so someone may have already said this.....but for someone to actually work this out properly I think it would be important to let a person know where they take their calories off of! Some people take it off their BMR, some people take it off of their total daily needs.…

Your HRM is absolutley screwing up, but even at that rate....147 hours of working out in 4 months, you still should be losing weight.......unless you are consuming to many or waaaay to little calories. My husband has horrible eating habits. He is over weight, but he doesn't come close to 1000 calories a day as he has…

My calories intake was set at 1360....I worked out.....I did lose a few inches, but with eating exercise calories back (or some/most), I gained a few pounds. When I don't eat my exercise calories (unless I need them), then I start to lose again (2pds a week). Other than that, I don't know! It may be a good idea to make…

Wow! that's impressive! I love MFP for the same reasons! It's so easy to track, I love how everything is set up and all the tools, and the MFP friends are the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The ability to laugh, lead a family, faith is a must....

FANTASTIC read! Thanks oodles and oodles!!!!

Bumping this one...great post! lol

Welcome!! I always love more friends for mutual encouragment!

I origionally wanted my goal to be 140ish. My husband doesn't like that one bit. He thinks I look to "sickly" at 140. My lowest is was 135, and honestly I didn't like the way my bones stuck out. My husband thinks at 160 I look good. I think I'm kinda really waiting until I get there. I'm really thinking 150ish (I am big…

For sure! Thank-you :D

Thanks so much for posting!!!! I had started eating about 1360 cals, but not eating my exercise calories back..... I was losing 2-3 pds a week. That's healthy at my weight! BUT then I felt kinda bad and thought I should be eating those exercise calories, plus people were saying if I ate them I'd lose more....I not only…

So we shall all weigh in tomorrow?

You totally should be celebrating! Fantastic, good for you!
