Wow! You look great!! Keep it up!! :smile:

I recently bought Trader Joe's Organic ketchup and it only has 4g per 2 TBS. The taste is a little different from regular ketchup, but it's pretty good and easy to get used to! Good luck.

That is amazing!!! You look awesome! Congrats. :happy:

I'm one of those people who eats when I'm down. I wish I was one who lost her appetite!! Oh well! :happy:

Have you thought about getting a heart rate monitor? It will accurately tell you how many calories you are burning while working out, no matter how high or low you turn the resistance knob. Generally, with a decent resistance, you will average about 100 calories per every ten minutes. However, this can increase…

You look amazing!! Congrats to you!

My weigh-in this week is 152. Down one pound! Slow but steady...

Thank you all very much for the info. I found the link to the C25K program to be super helpful. I'm going to download it to my ipod. Thanks!!

I don't have advice at the moment but just wanted to say welcome and congrats on an amazing first week on MFP! Keep it up!

bump!!

bump!!

I'm in, too!! Weigh in today is 153 lbs. Would even be happy with 145 by end of April but I'm up for the challenge!! :)

I would also like to know what the difference is between the "fat burn" range and "cardio" range ?? I am 5'3" and am working on getting down to 135 lbs. Haven't plateaued yet...

This was great - thank you! Now I don't feel that bad about that filet-o-fish I had last Friday!! LOL

I sometimes have a chocolate fudgicle by "Fudgesicle" for 60 calories. It's frozen so it takes a while to eat and is so chocolatey! Kills my craving, thank god.

I've just started my journey here on MFP as well. You sound determined and like you know what you need to do. I know what it's like to be "easily swayed" !! I've never been a very healthy eater and am learning to slowly change my ways. Add me as a friend if you like. You CAN do this.

Welcome! You've found a wonderful site. Counting your calories gets kind of addicting - and fun! Feel free to add me as a friend if you like!!

Welcome!! Feel free to add me!! :smile:

Holy you-know-what! YOU are an inspiration. Keep going - you look great! :smile:

At a recent spinning class, the instructor yelled out "Don't touch your levers!" The men looked mildly amused but us women couldn't stop laughing out loud!! It took us several minutes to recover and regain focus!!

I do the Shred about three times/week and cardio like spinning or elliptical on the other days. I find it boring to do the same thing day after day and like to mix it up.

Darnit!! I knew just 75 cal/glass was too good to be true!

What's the typical serving size (8 oz?) and what is the calories for that?

I like it! What are you thinking?? Like completing at least 30 minutes of excerise at least three more times this week? I'll have to read up on some other posts to see what other challenges are out there!!

I hear you. I am 5'3" and I am currently 155 lbs - almost as much as you!! I also have a small frame and am eager to finally get back to a healthy weight. I definitely need portion control as well and am working on that. You sound like you have the confidence to do this - you WILL lose the weight!! How much do you want to…

For me the best way I've been burning fat is my elliptical (between 30-40 minutes 3x week) or spinning class at the gym (2 one hour classes a week). If you combine cardio work-outs with some resistance training (weights) then your metabolism will get an extra boost and you will continue to lose fat even after you work out.…
