  • Girl you look amazing. I know that you were expecting to see less rolls. But mostly that is just excess skin. I am exactly where you are. I'm down over 120 lbs. The excess skin is what I see when the clothes come off. What others see is a smaller body. What you need to do is look in the mirror. Pick out all of the things…

  • BFDeal - lol I didn't take the calories burned seriously. I don't log everything I do for exercise and I don't trust that by walking/jogging for a certain length of time, I have effectively burned the number of calories that MFP says I did. It was just a guideline I use to know that I'm burning more than 600 calories a…

  • Well I'm fairly certain about the calorie consumption because I use the barcode scanner for almost everything. Anything that I cook, like meats or pastas, etc, I use measuring cups and a food scale. I generally don't add any flavors like cheese, butter, salt, etc. But as for exercise, the time spent and speed is accurate.…

  • Hey Val. I looked at your food diary. MFP has your calorie goal at 1,200 like mine. I never exceed 1,300. I only go over 1,000 if I have burned more than 600 calories that day. I did research on plateaus. They say to "confuse" your body. Alternate different types of work out and calorie intakes. Try eating a couple hundred…
