I am getting married in 3 months and 3 days. I really need to loose 100 pounds to be happy but want to lose 15 to 20 before the wedding. I keep telling myself ill do it but then fall of the wagon hard.

I feel the same way but please don't give up. NEVER eat under 1200 calories and break your workouts into little segments at a time. If you get 30 minutes of exercise in a day by breaking it into 10 minute sections through out the day its more exercise then you would get if you didn't do it at all right? That's what I keep…

After reading all these posts I don't know if I am ready for having children. Thank god my Fiancee and I aren't at that stage yet but dang I was afraid as it was, reading all of these didn't help lol

What a wonderful and helpful story. It is what I needed to hear right at this moment to help me keep going!

I need to lose 100 pounds too. I HATE the gym but I have a membership and plan on going again this Wednesday actually. My suggestion would be to to wal lunges, squats, stand on your tip toes while brushing your teeth, doing the dishes, cooking, or putting on make up. Before bed get down on the floor and do some crunches,…

Great job to everyone. My small win for the day: Set a goal yesterday to drink 13 classes (104 ounces of water) and I drank 14 (112 ounces). I also said I wanted to be 200 calories under my daily goal and I am well under!!!!

I posted something similar to this before on my profile. I was just starting to train for a couch to 5k and was running/walking at the park. I had my music playing and headphones in but could still hear them yell " You aren't going to lose weight fat *kitten*." I got discouraged but I finished my course adn came home. Told…

You look fantastic and I am truly inspired. I have about 100 pounds to go and I am down 18 already. Thank you for posting your story. I hope to post one someday!

I my goal is 1820 a day. I normally net between 1600-1750 daily with our without a workout. My goal is to lose roughly 100 pounds.

Thank you for all of the words of encouargement. I know that I am not going to lose the weight over night and I know it took a long time to put it on. I just get very discouraged when I see the scale reading the same thing over and over. I check my inches and I am not losing or gaining. I also know that I need to be…

I have about 100 pounds to lose as well. I am 5' 8" and have lost about 20. Its a journey full of ups and downs but feel free to add me. I log in everyday and I log everything, even if it is a bad day. You're human and bound to make mistakes. You will have good days, bad days, and in between days. But log it all! It really…

Youtube has a ton of Zumba videos that I enjoy. I created my own favorites list and do them regularly in the living room. I actually just got down doing them! I recommend looking on there. They are free and fun!

Based on what I have read and what everyone else has told me, you want your net calories to be equal or as close to your goal calories that MFP sets for you. I always thought I wanted them to be negative to lose weight as well but I guess thats not the case.

I have high blood pressure and go over my sodium all the time. I drink 7-12 glasses of water a day and sometimes I can tell that I retained water and other times not so much. Though I have high blood pressure and go over my sodium, My blood pressure has reduced greatly from working out and eating better so I don't stress…

I have the same problem. I get on the scale every morning. Sometimes in the middle of the day and at night too (just to check haha). I just had to realize not to let the numbers discourage me. If its up slightly it could be just water weight. It also makes me workout harder knowing it will go down eventually!

I am only 24, I have a long life to live and I don't want to live it this way. I want to be healthy and happy. I knew that wouldn't be possibly without losing the weight. I hate how I look and feel and decided enough was enough. Its hard to find clothes being big, its hard to do certain things when your big, and its just…

The summers are wonderful and so relaxing but I find myself munching as well. During the school year I never have time to snack, constantly drink water, (teach 3-5 year olds in a headstart program) and I am on the go. But, I find it hard to get exercise in because I am so exhuasted. In the summer I walk, bike, dance, and…

I am starting on a B12 vitamin and fish oil because my doctor recommended it to me. I also take a vitamin C during the school year because I am a teacher and it really helps with my immune system. Feel free to add me and I will let you know if it helps me or not!

In the summer, I am so busy with my boyfriend and family that we do not have time to go to the gym (we freeze our gym membership for the months of summer and go back in winter). During this time I love my workout DVDs. I use my This is Tae Bo DVD the most right now. Though I am obsese and have a long way to go, I break the…

FANTASTIC. You look great. Can totally see a difference. I am about two inches taller then you but have the same amount of weight to lose. You are inspiring. I had lost about 25 pounds but put it back on beccause of falling off the wagon. I am now at 19 pounds lost and am so glad I stumbled across this success story. I am…

My boyfirned and I are getting fit too and our reason is similar. To have better sex and more sex positions to explore. We joke all the time thinking that we are crazy for wanting this as our goal. Glad we aren't the only ones!!! :-D

I loved them. I read them on my way to and from vacation. I loved them, the sex, the drama, the underlying story, the way Ana helped change Grey(make him see a different view is how I feel). I don't wish my boyfriend was like him, but I really liked the book.
-
Try finding fun exercises to do. I hate going to the gym because I am bigger and everyone there is smaller. I feel like they are looking at me. I found that I really enjoy work out DVD's that are fun and exciting. I use the Dancing with the Stars workout (learning how to do some of the dances from the show), The Dirty…
