Much props man. I myself have cut 45 lbs since late October and I know the feeling. Keep at it and stay positive.

Exactly my point.

I've lost 70 lbs in the past 3 years and I attribute this to the elliptical machine and healthy eating. I've grown so accustomed to it that three days a week I set a standard on what my pace is and increase the resistance each time, at 3 min intervals. This helps to decrease boredom and tricks the body to sweat more and…

Nice to see so many black women come out of the wood works and respond to MFP threads. Why isn't there this much response on other threads?? There shouldn't have to be "black" in the title for y'all to come out and show yourselves. Cmon sistas!

Well I am 5'10 and i weigh 256 currently. According to the ideal weight and frame size calculator, I am 79lbs overweight. However I carry weight well because it evenly distributes over my entire body. My physician says that I would be healthy at 220lbs. That would take me down to a BMI of 29. I know that is not the idea…

Wow. I went from 46" to 40" waist in 3.5 months. Still a ways to go myself. Just bought a new belt two months ago and now its time for a new one. Keep up the good work.

I log my journal off of MFP. I've been doing that for a while now.

anybody have theirs to share?

I work nights. I log my day from the time I wake up to the time I go to bed (typically I stay up for 19 hours a day). I work 14 hr days for three straight days per week. I eat breakfast when I first wake up, which is after 4p. I eat lunch 3 hours into my shift. I wait 6 hours or 7 hours and eat dinner around 330a. I…

I'm trying to do the same thing!!! Wow, perfect timeliness in this thread, Age: 26 Current: 260lbs Goal: 220lbs Goal for this week: 3lbs

Couldn't have said it any better myself. After starting a lifestyle change a few years ago, I got complacent and ended up gaining 25 lbs of the 55 I lost. Now after cutting 35 lbs (10lbs more than my original loss) I feel more motivated than ever. It takes the ultimate discipline to lose the lbs but its more mental than…

Great insight.

I believe in you to reach your goal. We all know how mentally draining it is to lose a good portion of weight. I believe weight loss is more mental than physical. Looking great. Keep staying positive and consistent. I've been plateauing weight wise for the past two weeks myself but as long as the inches come off, that's…

Great insight on this post. Athletes are true spectacles of the limits we can push our bodies to. I sure as hell couldn't do it. I'm comfortable working out 30-45 mins three or four days a week. Slow and steady wins the race.

Yes indeed. Losing it too quickly is a recipe for gaining more back even quicker.

I use my old clothes I couldn't fit into as motivation. Yesterday I put on a size large adult shirt I used to wear in 6th grade. I could barely fit it on my chest months ago and now, even though it is quite snug, I can see how far I came for it to fit on my entire body. I am transitioning from 2xl shirts to xl shirts and…

Thank you tedsmama. I joined MFP at 277 lbs, so around mid December 2013. I love reading you guys' stories and watching your progress.

Very good insight on your plan. Working out 5 days a weekn is mentally tough as a busy person. How do you workout for an hour each day and not get burned out?? Also, 10 minute miles are what I do on the elliptical and doing a 1/2 hr cardio station to get 3mi in is what my pace is now. I'm going to adopt your 30 minute…

took me two weeks. On the first day, I cut my calories in half. I filled up with tea as a snack and had multiple cups of tea a day. Now, I can get cravings and fight them because I replaced those unhealthy snacks with tea before healthy well portioned meals. I consume about 1800 calories a day (at max). I've cut 20 lbs in…

This is totally me right here. Verbatim.

Very true. I like that.

All that is needed is a consistent, challenging workout routine for 3 or 4 days a week, eat less but healthier, and drink green or black tea after every regular portioned meal. Proven to work wonders.

I completely understand, My friends are overweight and trying to lose weight (half assing it) or just don't really care about it now because of youth and being "too busy". This forum is great for me to keep focused. With 50 more lbs to lose, I am more determined than ever, because it is attainable. Keep at it and always…
