I had to up my walking speed to 2.5 mph from 2.0 mph to get my heart rate up to 125, my ring fits now, my clothes are looser, and I don't have to use a piece of furniture to aid myself in getting up off the floor! So many things I have noticed and hopefully more in the future!

Just for today: Weekend of 7/24 1.) Eat on the "lighter side" menu if I eat out 2.) Try to replace any thoughts of diet sodas with water

I could use some extra motivation!

Diet soda and any potatoes prepared any way.

Thank you for sharing rideafast horse, this is the first thread I have seen addressing medication issues. It's really hard to stay positive when you know if you quit taing your medication you would drop 30 pounds in no time flat but instead you have to struggle daily with a yo yo scale when you are counting your calories…

Interesting thought because really that includes strength training too and being fit in general.

Good Advice! If you workout you can eat more

I think I am losing weight on the scale but not on my belt uh huh!!!Feeling frustrated in general about dieting.

You must get tired of how you feel physically and mentally because of your health and then something will just click and the rest will be history.

[/quote] Just soda in general because I have ppl in my life who I have seen basically gain lots of weight due to soda intakes , I cut it out my diet [/quote] I have lost 4 pounds since quitting soda 2 weeks ago. and yes, it is super addicting, just one soda and i am back to the habit buying 2 liters, so i switched to water.

Worked out 3 times this week and dropped 4 #'s. 5 to go!!! Until 299!!

I like the penne with veggies etc, post

I have a polar that I bought eight years ago it's a gem and it calculates all my calories I burn .I love it.

I like what you said about tinkering with new things that have low calories like putting lime in your water. I particularly like the drink "Sparkling Ice" which has no calories and comes in many flavors. It makes me feel like I have have had a treat without totally blowing it. Which I have been doing a lot of lately. I…

I went to the gym despite my agoraphobia. Oh and I went six miles on the recumbant bike.

Awesome!!! How did your by help u break your plateau?

Awesome work. The potatoes create quite a visual. Keep up the awesome work. You look fabulous:)

Wish I knew how to post pics. I will support you. I am looking for motivation to exercise.

Awesome job. It takes a lot of work and time to lose 23 lbs..

Awesome job!!!

I have had a nagging craving for a huge piece of chocolate cake that is sold at safeway. For two months I have been thinking about it off and on. I think I will allow myself to have one after I have lost my first 50 lbs. And that is going to be two months from May.

You can do it. It's nice to be able to focus on the smaller goals because the big picture can be daunting! I weigh 278.6 and want to lose over 100 lbs . I have been trying to stay away from the scale because it can really bring you down but it seems to have a magnet in it for me, lol. My diet is paleo-no processed sugar,…

MY cousin choanni64 totally eliminated her insulin by going paleo and exercising 3-5 days per week. She is on MFP.

What is MET in your formula?
