Ditto to all the above!!! So far this is helping me see exactly how much weight I should be losing each week with my calories remaining, instead of playing a guessing game.

my face was the first and oddly my hips, thighs, and butt

Once you start going, it will become habit. That is what happened to me...Now if I don't go on my scheduled nights I am a mad woman....I get really stressed and fidgety, almost to the point where my husband tells me to go....

love it!

awesome!!!

Thanks. When I started with my PT I was down 27 lbs and 5% BF from diet and cardio (for the first 4 month). My first weigh in after starting with him (about 5-6 weeks later) I was down about 9 lbs and 6% BF. My last weigh in I was down 9 lbs and a little over 1% BF. My next weigh in will be around the first of the year.…

Thanks everyone for the comments. My trainer would like to have me around 24% which is mid-range for my height of 5'5". He tells me to stay off the scale, don't worry about my weight and focus on the BF%.

now wouldn't that be awesome if they dropped the price of bananas, my daughter has to have one every day.

great to know thanks.

started at 245 lbs and 47% BF, currently at 188.8 lbs and 35% BF.

I weigh everyday, same time, after using the bathroom, before shower, but record on Wednesday's. You will see lots of fluctuation on your chart if you record everyday, but it is just personal preference.

I have one, meet him 2x a week for strength/circuit training (30 minute workouts). He also does my measurements every 6-8 weeks. He also ask about how I am doing and my food and how my weight is going....He also sets goals for me. At first I was uncomfortable with the thought of going to a personal trainer (especially a…

Wednesdays are my weigh in days and since being on this program for a week I dropped 1.4 lbs, which is exactly what my deficit was, so it's nice to see the green and know where you want to go!

looks good in my opinion, looks like you have a variety of foods which is always good.

I really think the news (national) should do a story. They are always talking about how obese Americans are (I know we have some international superstars on here too). It would be such a positive story for all to hear, especially when there is so much negative news these days....just my $.02

I started with just watching calories, I slowly started cardio and a few months later added strength training. I can't tell you how much better I feel when I do strength training...I feel so much stronger and can feel my muscles growing. I also started incorporating strength training into my program because I have a lot of…

I think I dropped about 30 before I could get into a smaller size. That was starting from a 20W and now into a 16 misses....

I have not reached that point either. Sure I look at pictures and they don't lie...I still feel uncomfortable when people comment on my loss, especially those that haven't seen me in a while. For example I had hubby's aunt tell me recently that every time she looked at me, she thought she was seeing a different person. I…

I am going to try this to lose the 2 lbs per week. With the MFP method, I cannot possibly lose 2 lbs per week, even when I have my goal set to it. The closest MFP has me losing is 1.7 lbs per week with netting 1200 calories.

bump for saving....

Awesome I know your feeling....just hit onederland myself....after spending most of my teenager and adult life in the 200's....

Sounds like you need your antibodies tested. That is what happened to me, all my thyroid numbers were normal except for the antibodies. My immune system was attacking my thyroid, causing all the same symptoms you are having. I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's hypothyroidism. Been on my meds for a year now and what a complete…

Thanks all...I am hoping to get a HRM for Christmas....
