1) Anna 2) Orange County, CA 3) So much to choose from! I guess I'll go with keeping on track when I'm out of town or at a social gathering I've lost about 21 pounds so far and have just gotten back from a wedding in Las Vegas. I realized today (my first day back from the trip) that I had a really hard time staying on…

Thank you everyone! These are all VERY helpful tips! My goal is to eventually be able to commute to work a few times during the week when the weather permits. I am definitely going to start off with a few miles first, then work my way up towards being able to do a long distance ride, that way I don't kill myself trying to…

You look great! Congrats!

This is awesome! i do go to the bathroom quite frequently, but thats from all the water I'm consuming. I"m definitely gonna try squats and wall push-ups . Thanks for the tip!

Im doing 30 day shred but have been on it for a little over a month now. I'm going at my own pace because of bad knees and don't want to injure myself. I absolutely LOVE it tho! Been on level 2 for 2 weeks and am about to move on to Level 3.

OMG i was just thinking the same thing. I used to have WW online for a year and didnt really use it all that much. such a waste of money. The 5 weeks ive been on MFP I have learned more than I ever did on WW. SO happy with MFP! PLUS can't beat the free :)

I log everyday, open diary, and comment as much as i can. Feel free to send a request :)

I used to be the same way but that was in the beginning when all I was eating were salads with very little dressing. Now I'm eating anywhere between 1400-2000 calories a day depending on how many calories i burned in my workout and I'm still losing weight. Don't be afraid eat what you like, just in moderation. Whole grains…

Congrats! you look great! thanks for sharing your story :)

See...i read both those posts and i still dont get it. Maybe I am not eating towards the right amount of calories? IDK....

Thanks. i feel like ive been getting a lot of veggies, especially from the smoothies my dad makes in the morning. It's pretty much a bunch of raw veggies that he blends up with some pineapple, apple, and ginger. I just want to make sure that i dont end up losing muscle because of how low my net calories are. what kind of…

I guess i should clarify: Stuffed or just right. For me, i know that over the course of my life i have had a problem with overeating. So all of this is still a learning process for me. I mean, i have lost weight the healthy way in the past, but it's re-learning all of this again and not just learning all the lingo and…

I know exactly what you mean! i feel like i am in the same boat.

Thanks everyone! Thanks bajoyba on the link. I think that will help clear things up for me :)

Thanks Alaina. I think i just confused myself from reading all this stuff on not getting enough calories. Just like you stated, normally i use the calorie intake more as a guideline and listen to my body, so definitely gonna go back to the way i was doing it before.
