I got off of drinking reg. coke to diet then switched to coffee. I never liked coffee before but now I have a cup in the morning and in the evening and I love it, cant even take a sip of coke now!!!!

I just finished doing 3 hours of yard work today and I cant seem to find on this site how many calories I burned. My states age 22 weight 141 female I did shoveling up dirt and tons of rocks little and huge like 30 lbs and throwing them into a barrel I went onto another site and it said for my age and weight that for…

I have been slowing down since losing almost 70 lbs. I started June 07 at 209 For the past month I have been between 145-140 Today I weighed in at 141.0 So I will keep trying my goal is 125 lbs by my youngest sons 2nd birthday July 31st I have 16 lbs to go:smokin:

The 140s must be a problem for most. I have been at 143 - 140 for 3 weeks now up and down but I cant seem to get to the 130s. My goal is 125 and I was at 209 so I happy at what I am at now but this is what I was in high school and could never get down below 140s. But I didnt try then either. I am hoping it is just taking…

me too!!! I have lost 69 lbs so far but have another 15 to go. The first 65 were sorta easy coming off now it is really really difficult, my body is holding on to it tightly!!!!

Hey girly I am glad you found the site!! I have been on since Aug. Hope to see you at the gym soon!!! Courtney

I love pizza too, so when we order pizza, my kids and hubby have the normal pep. pizza and I order myself a thin crust no cheese with chicken, green peppers and onions on it. I am telling you it is soooo good and then when I eat it for lunch the next few days I dont feel guilty at all. I know no cheese but that is one…

I have lost 68 lbs since changing my lifestyle. I have not deprived myself of anything and that has whats kept me going!!! 16 lbs to go!!! Thanks MFP

I was just about to say the same thing. Weight training. A trainer at the gym I have been going to told me if I wanted to get over my plateau that I should stop cardio, which Ididnt but I cut back from 60 mins to 20 mins and I have gotten over my plateau and lost 7 lbs in 2 weeks. Which is pretty good since I am so close…

Wow, I am 141 this weigh in also!!! How tall are you? My goal is 125. So I have 16 more lbs to go!!! YAH!

ok I have lost another 2 lbs so I am at 141.8, I have 11.8 more lbs to lose before Memorial Day! What day is that again? Thanks Courtney

you will get there. I started off at size 20 last June and I am in a size 6/8 now. I would try them on now and see how far you have to go so when you get there you will feel 10 times better. And if you can take a pic of the pants on now, for your eyes only, and then when they really fit or even are loose, take a pic you…

I eat my fiber one bar for carb energy before my workout and I have my protein shake after to help with building the muscles.

my current weight this morning was 142.8 thank God, I had about a month of no weight loss and no this week alone I have lost 5 lbs, so I am happy. Total lbs lost 67 lbs 17 more to go!!!

starting weight in June 07 was 209 last week weight was 147 current weight 143.8 total loss of 65.2 lbs ;p I have another 18 lbs to go!!!!

im in!!!! last week weight 147 lbs current weight 143.8 lbs lost 3.2 lbs goal weight for memorial day is 130 lbs

Well I usually did 60 min on the eliptical 3 times a week, but I would be willing to cut back on that, but all???? I just dont know what to tell him today when he sees me on the elptical??? He is really helpful with weights and I did make a deal that I would try the no cardio for 2 months, but now I have had time to think…

I work out at the local Y and one of their trainers said to stop the cardio for two months and just do weight training, but I am thinking that is not right, what to do? I promised me it would work, my muscle mass increasing and my fat loss decreasing, he said if it didnt then he would give me 5 free training hours. But…

Well I really wouldnt care if I gain muscle weight. Muscle weighs more than fat. I dont see on there anything about gaining weight, the manager at Vitamin World told me no you wont gain "fat"weight taking this. I only have 1 scoop a day at 150 cal, so its not alot when you compare you workout to burn that. I would rather…

I just bought some protein powder today and I was wondering if anyone else uses it. I am down alot of weight and now only have 18 lbs to lose but I want to gain muscle and have been working really hard at the gym on that but I have heard you should have protein shakes at least once a day. Thanks and if anyone else know…

oh yes, I was stuck at 147-149 for a month and this week I went from 148 to 143 in one week, you body is just adjusting.

My YMCA evaluation was today and I am excited, Oct evaluation- weight 169.00 lean body mass % 68 % of body fat 31.8 Jan. evaluation-weight 155.00 lean body mass %71.5 % of body fat 28.5 Feb evaluation weight 148.00 lean body mass %74.7 % of body fat 25.0 That means I am in the "normal" range for my body fat, they say it…

New pics of my weightloss journey. From being in the 200s to now at 146. Let me know what you think!!! Thanks for love and support everyone!!!

I have been the same weight for the past month or so. I feel really really really discouraged. I was doing so well and lost over 60 lbs since June and was losing steadily. .5-3 lbs a week and now nothing. I still have 20 lbs to go and now what do I do, everyone keeps asking me how much I have lost and then I have to tell…

Just remember if you can lose 30 lbs in 45 days then you can also gain that 30 lbs back in 45 days. I would rather lose 1 lb a week and know that in the future if I have an off week that I should only gain back about a pound not almost 10!! Do you see where I am coming from???? Courtney

Thank you!!! I wish it was easy to forget, I guess I am to hard on myself sometimes.

I feel like a total failure today. I did ok earlier today, I ate a normal breakfast and a normal lunch (had my 60 minutes on the elpitical today), but then it was time for my husband and me to have our Valentines Day dinner, I know a day late but we didnt have anyone to watch the kids last night. Anyways, We went to Chilis…

I have another 21 lbs to lose and hopefully I will achieve that either June or July. It would be awesome to hit it by June 18 since that is when I started losing, so that would be 84 lbs in one year. Not to bad!!!

I know how you feel I have lost both of my sons and our puppy combined. CRAZY!!!!

We just got an Austrilian Shepherd this Sun will be 4 weeks, he is 3 months old and we named him Tucker. He is a handful. I have a 3 year and 1 year old sons and the puppy is harder to take care of then them.
