No loss but no gain either.... so I am cool with that. Debating cutting out bread and refined sugars for a week to see if that helps any. April 10th: 223.3 April 24th: 225.2 May 8th: 224.5 May 22nd: 224.5 June 5th: June 19th: July 3rd: July 17th: July 31st

I love your spirit Mswestmoreland......... can i ask you how you are doing with the no bread, no sugar thing? Are you having bad cravings or anything. i am debating doing it for a week and seeing how I feel.

Good for you Shell. Keep up the good work. I am debating giving up bread and sugar for the week and seeing how I feel. Maybe i can do just from Monday through Friday and gauge how my body feels.

That's great!

Nice losing! That's great!!

Hey Lou, a little is still good :-)

Good going Lady!

Yep, regularly.... that has never been an issue with me though. I do think my weight is shifting as well even though I am not losing. I tend to do a lot of cardio and it focuses mostly on my legs. A personal trainer that i know said that i am probably gaining more muscle in my legs and that's probably why the scale is…

Sounds good. Welcome to MyFitnessPal. I have been here for a couple of months and I love it. The Android app is a good help for me. If you are looking to add friends on here feel free to add me. Nothing wrong with adding a small support group. :-) I wish you well on your life changing journey.

Welcome to the group!

I am late posting... but I did weigh myself Sunday. April 10th: 223.3 April 24th: 225.2 May 8th: 224.5 May 22nd: June 5th: June 19th: July 3rd: July 17th: July 31st

Hi Nuttylou, you can copy and paste it into your signature.

Wow, feel better nuttylou..... don't overdo it.

Welcome to all the new joiners. Wow... I really feel bad. I gained... ugh. i blame it on being sick and just not having the motivation. I am sure things could've been worse. I am still not feeling very well (the allergies are KILLING ME). We will see how next weigh-in goes. Good luck everyone! April 10th: 223.3 April 24th:…

Hello to you and good luck on your journey to a healthier you! I know exactly what you feel about the sweets. I had a horrible sweet tooth when i began to focus on losing weight. Honestly, I havent cut them out completely. I use portion control when necessary and 100 calorie packs. I do try to keep mindful of the amount of…

Hi Rosy, can i add you as a friend? Any help i can get is needed. I know that i have days that i just totally mess up.... like today. SMH. But having someone that i can talk to when i am in a rut would be nice.

Just sending a little love and motivation out to all of you. Good luck on your weight loss journey. I am so excited. I am going to Puerto Rico in August. I hope to be a nice sexy thang by then. LOL. On another note, I did gain a pound and I am trying my best to get over the fact that I had a rough week last week. I am…

Okay, I am checking in today at 223.3. I would like to get to 195 by the end of July. I hope I can keep my motivation through this. Good luck everyone. See you all in two weeks at the next weigh in.

You have a good point Rosy. I think I am gonna go until the 31st of July. I will weigh in this Sunday and go from there. I wish everyone well on this challenge. :-)

Congratulations that is great. I hope to have a difference in 2 months time.

I understand fbmandy... Okay, I vote for weighing in every 2 weeks. Now we just need an official start date.

I typically weigh myself once every 2 weeks. That seems like a nice amount of time. Not too often and not too less. Unless other prefer one week weight-ins. I can go with the majority.

Sounds good to me. Are we going to choose a weigh in schedule? Everyone, feel free to save me as a friend.

AmoreCouture is right.... you can get them from the deli in your local grocery store. They have low sodium brands behind the counter. I am not sure how much they would average in price though.

Hi, I am a newbie here. Feel free to add me. I try to offer support because we all need support and motivation. Definitely try your best to keep track of everything you eat. You'd be surprised to see what you eat throughout the day and how much sugar, sodium, fat, etc you are taking in. Once you see that you can see what…

Stay strong Nicole. We all go through our rough patches. Don't beat yourself up. The best thing you can do for yourself is be positive. Keep working. I am sure you will get that cholesterol under control. Being as though you're an athletic trainign I am thinking the hardest part for you may be getting your eating where you…

Sure, i would love to be your friend. I am new here as well (less than 10 days) and am in need of friends for motivation and support. :-)

Good question awelch. I have not been eating all of my exercise calories that I notice. i notice that on the days that i don't eat them all I get a projected 5 week weight that is lower than the days that i do eat them all. I think as long as you eat enough that you won't starve yourself it may not be necessary to eat all…

I just started last week so I have not weighed myselg again yet. But whether or not this really works depends on if you are willing to eat better and exercise. I have learned that it is up to you if this works for you.

I don't have a HRM but this is interesting. Now i am wondering should I purchase a HRM and go by that. I don't want to end up going over my calories because my info is not accurate.
