I get a lot of my meals from www.eatingwell.com. They have great ideas for dinner, lunch, breakfast, snacks - and all the recipes include the nutritional information. LOVE that website!!!!

First off - GREAT JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You should be thrilled!!!! But, I understand at the same time - jeans are not cheap - but it's the only downside to getting healthier! I agree with the post about taking them to a tailor - you can google one in your area and compare prices. They are usually pretty cheap…

I finally bought a heart rate monitor yesterday from Amazon - it was $71 with free shipping - Polar FT7 - I can't wait to get it and start using it. Thank you to everyone for the advice and recommendations!!!

Awesome job!!! You have lost 13 pounds since the beginning of September - that is great!!! I have been on here since I had my son in Feb and I have yo-yo'd between losing 18lbs and 20lbs....I do really good during the week, but once the weekend comes I slip up and end up gaining....uughh....

I think it is super awesome that you are paying this forward and reaching out to those of us who have not reached our goals. Thank you so much! Can't wait to get started!!!

Awesome!!!!!!

I appreciate it! I looked at a couple on Amazon - we will see what I decide on. Definitely going to do some research first so I can get the right one the first time!

I would definitely like to join!!!! I am a married mom of two (7 year old and an 8 month old) and I am in the U.S. Navy. I have struggled with my weight since having my children and definitely would love to get close to my pre-pregnancy weight. I just started Chantix today to quit smoking and overall I am looking at…

I can't offer much help, except to say look on the internet - try google. I am sure you can find some good weight/lifting programs. Good luck!

Yeah I work out on the eliptical and stair stepper alot but never know for sure how many calories I actually burned, the machine says one thing MFP says another.....I just want to get an accurate count so I can start losing some weight!!!!!

I am good with tracking my calories throughout the day - but I definitely want an accurate count of how many calories I am burning, especially when working out.

I will look into the New Balance N4 - definitely don't have $100 laying around to spend on a Polar....

Thanks for your feedback and recommendations - looks like chest strap is the way to go. I just want one that's comfortable and not going to be really noticeable under my uniform while I am at work....

Awesome job! You look fabulous! WAY TO GO!!!!

I am starting a version of Ideal Protein - and it is all geared towards protein. I am using shakes that are less than 120 cals, less than 7g of carb and at least 15g of protein. I went to a meeting about Ideal Protein but I just can't afford it so I am starting my own version. According to their website: Learn to live off…

I am just using it as a way to jumpstart my weight loss. I am in the military and I need to lose weight fast or else I risk them kicking me out. Once I am able to jumpstart my weight loss I will continue to eat healthy (like I have been on here) and make it a lifestyle change. I am just in a different situation than most…

According to their website: The Ideal Protein Weight Loss Method is a medically designed protocol that results in fat loss while sparing muscle mass. The protocol was developed in France 25 years ago by Dr. Tran Tien Chanh, MD PhD, who focused his career and research on nutrition with a particular emphasis on the treatment…

Yeah I am not sure how much it's gonna cost - hopefully not too much or I may not be able to do it either...

Thank you guys for your replies - I appreciate it very much!

I am with you!!! I started at 192 - I am now 173 and stuck! I desperately want to see 160 and then 145!

Go to eatingwell.com. They have great recipes and you can search according to your nutritional needs. I love the website!!!
