I am in. I had already had made this my goal. It will get my under 200#

* Not being able to do the things that I enjoyed *Not liking myself *Worried if I could/should continue my career aspirations *Not being able to really look at myself in the mirror. *Knowing I wasn't who I truly was.

Two weeks ago I got off track for a couple of days with emotionally eating, having a lot of carbs when I couldn't sleep. Just being honest with my MFpals that I had gained weight and how it happened cemented that I knew the airs of my way. I went back to my regular habits. Tried to not eat carb loaded food at night. My…

Thanks All, I do agree for lighter people there is less of a difference between mfpal vs tdee. It just seems few people eat back properly on the mfpal plan. Both can work great. I just hope my massive calorie jump makes it easier for others to make small changes. An update I did raise my calories again to TDEE-500 to 2626.…

Hi katem, Thank you for the praise. I looked at the last 10 days of your diary. Looks like your disciplined :) I would suggest being more consistent with eating back your cals. A couple days your net cals were around 1000. Without eating back consistently you are not following the mfpal program. Like myself and others this…

Ironic and worth noting December was exactly 11.5lbs lost at lower cal intake and more exercise.

Congrats on your amazing progress:drinker:

A great post to end my day on. Congrats and Thanks :drinker:

Thanks I needed this to. I am way more critical of my body now than 10,25, or 50lbs ago. I have gone from noticing the small positive changes, to noticing how far I have to go. Which makes it harder to be patient and keep eating at a healthy level. I do see great things a head, and that I am on the right path.

I hope to be heading upto UND for Grad School this summer.

Incredible job! Congratulations:drinker: Your story of pain relief is an inspiration for me and many others. Thanks for sharing.

You are not a regular person. You are a SUPER PERSON. Well done:drinker:

http://www.burnthefat.com/loose_skin.html I enjoyed this read. Thanks Joy_Joy :drinker:

I was going to search this tonight, but this thread is getting me started. I was really grossed out tonight seeing extra skin in area I never heard anyone mention before:sick: ; not the belly, legs,back, chin, or arms :noway: . So I am really hoping after loosing 30 more lbs with an emphasis on lifting, my belly won't…

Lost .6lbs the week of Xmas, as part of 12lbs for December. :bigsmile:

You are an inspiration! :drinker:

I want to be fit enough to do any activity i desire as a lifestyle. I want to look healthy to be respected in the healthcare professions.

baby steps baby steps. My ailments made things take longer. Just being active at home, work, and as I could outdoors made doing more later easier. Like chaplainamy1 said physical therapy could do wonders for you. I hope you are more proactive than I was. Being positive came from hints of being able to be active again.…

I am so appreciative of this entire thread. I have been concerned about my rapid weight lost the last 5 weeks. I knew I had a lot of factors in my favor for a big month. I am worried about too much muscle lost and my metabolism changing. At my current trend I could hit my V-day goal by New Years. This thread is a reminder…

What bekahlou75 said is do true. Currently i am wearing three different sized with one i am holding onto to save money.

Lost 20lbs slowly no one noticed. Hit a spurt loosing 15 in a month everyone noticed

You look so happy and proud! Way to go:drinker:

I am like StrongLife, the more I exercise the better I eat. It sounds like your heart is in the right place. Good luck..

Wanting to loose the weight has been there for a long time, even longer knowing how to lose weight. Last February I learned a coworkers son who is in his 30s was having heart problems, and needed surgery. Because of him I step on the scale for the first time in forever. My profile summarizes some of my own health problems.…

St. Paul checking in here. I too recently joined but have lost a lot this year so far. I love the threads on MFP. Count me in for the support group.

Thanks, I just need to loose one more pants size, and I can get a few out of storage. Soon :)

Awesome! Any milestone just makes me want to get the next one.

OMG! Great job both of you. :drinker:
