Chocolate cake

I'd like to join. I'm a little late. I'l post my pic on Monday. SW: 280 GW: 120

I'm in Tennessee too. Inbox me if you wanna chat.

My aunt was on it for 2 weeks only. She said it was horrible food.

I love the elliptical too. I burn 600 calories in 45 minutes doing intervals.

My NSV: I measured myself on 4/3/11 and again yesterday 4/14/11 and I've lost an inch in my thighs, arms, neck, waist, hips and 1/4 inch in my calves. The scale can't show you these resullts!!!

In addition to the cardio I do the different machines. I alternate upper body and lower body each time I go in. I have a personal trainer on Wednesdays. I get strength training too. It's just a slow process.

Welcome to MFP.

Mine is Mel o Drama lol

I have 4 kids also but mine are more spread out in age than yours. I love this site and I bet you will too. Friend request me if you'd like. :smile:

Congrats on your journey. I have a lot of weight to lose too. Friend request if you'd like to keep in touch.

I use the ellptical for my cardio too. My legs are getting stronger, tighter and leaner, not bigger. I would recommend using it especially if running hurts you.

Week 1: 262.2 on 04/11/11

Me too

Welcome to you both. This site is wonderful and the people are encouragoing. You can add me if you'd like. Welcome to the journey!!

You can add foods to the database.

I'm in!!!

Lol. I like that.

"The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" is a great book. Much better than the movie. "Shutter Island" is one of the best books I've ever read. It's much better than the movie too. Any book by V.C. Andrews is good too. Beverly Barton writes great mystery-romance novels. There are others that I can't think of right now. Good luck!

Welcome!! I'm a mom of 4 so I know how you feel. This site is wonderful and the people are very inspiring and encouraging. You can friend request me if you'd like. Good luck!

I think he's insecure like my bf. My bf is kinda the same. He doesn't understand why I go to the gym because "he loves me the way I am." I told him that I was losing weight for me, not for him. He still gets aggravated but he'll get over it.

I'm in too. My starting weight is 265 lbs.

Sorry it's a late post. I lost 3 lbs this week

Thanks for the advice everyone!!!

My NSV is my legs and arms are starting to get hard with muscle. I love feeeling my own leg and arm muscles lol

Starting weight: 268 lbs Good luck to everyone!!!

Thanks for all the suggestions. I'm going to change my diet to more home cooked foods. The prepackaged foods are so much easier for me because I work full-time and have 4 kids. But I do see where each of you are coming from and I think I know what I need to do to make this weight start falling off again. :smile:

Never mind. I figured it out.

How do I make my diary public?

I do 30-45 minutes of cardio and then different machines for different areas of my body. In all, I probably workout an hour a day 4-5 days a week. I have a personal trainer on Wednesdays. This is an increase in exercise since I lost the first 11 lbs.
