WOOT WOOT!!! Yeah, look at you go!! :)

The same one from Walmart? I know many use a Polar FT7 or FT4, but those run 125+.

I make room for AT LEAST one treat a day! I try to use the 90/10 rule, although sometimes its more like 70/30. Eat healthy 90% of the time and have treats 10%. If you would have them within your calories, it doesn't make a difference if the cals are from exercise or in your daily amount. I am a firm believer and using…

I started my couch to 5k program at 287lbs. I have now completed it, and can run 4.25 k, hoping for 5k by end of week :) If you are having a hard time with 5sec to 20sec jogging you are either going too fast, OR you need to improve your walking and stamina that way first. Maybe put it on hold for a few weeks and do a…

257.1 this week for me :)

Bring gum... Choose a healthy portion in your cal allowance, and when you're done, pop in a piece of gum. The cinnamon stuff has been working wonders for me ;) OR exercise before you go to stock pile calories and let yourself endulge a little!

^^ Like

I'll try to put it in even simpler terms. When people say muscle weighs more than fat, they are referring to VOLUME. Ofcourse two things that both weigh one pound weigh the same. If you take a piece of fat, and the same SIZE piece of muscle, the muscle will weigh more. When people are trying to lose weight, generally…

My daughter is a Feb 2011 baby, and I also have a 2.5 year old son. I'm not a completed success story yet, but I will be one day. I started actually using my MFP account in September and I am now 26lbs lighter (hopefully tomorrow morning it will be 28-29). I had lost some during pregnancy with her so my total loss it more…

I litre of fat weighs less than one litre of muscle.... FACT So if he put on 15lbs of muscle and lost 12lbs of fat, he would in fact be smaller than before but weigh more...

You give hope to saggy tummies everywhere!! AWESOME!!

LOOK at YOU! AMAZING! You are kicking *kitten* and taking names in thise lifestyle change!! If you can lose a cool 100, you can do ANYTHING, which mean making that 100 a 200! I enjoyed reading your story!

All I could find was a picture of soggy fries. I'm thinking it may be more myth?

Perfect :) Also It really depends on how you are calculating your exercise calories and if you are confident that they are accurate. For this reason I don't usually eat them ALL back. I am quite heavy though, as a get smaller it will become more important for me to eat at least some!

Fit Bit doesn't measure the same things as Body Bugg. Fit bit is just a motion sensor, while BodyBugg will read how your body is reacting to those movements. This mean that the BodyBugg (Or ever BodyMedia Fit) are going to be more accurate than the Fit Bit. ETA: Here is a great place to compare :…

Just to throw it out there, before I got my HRM MFP estimated I burned over 900 cals everytime I did my Turbo Jam DVD. Now when I wear my Polar FT4, it tells me I burned 455... If I had eated back those calories I would have been way over!

You wanna add about 300 extra cals per day for pregnancy! You'll be burning extra cals anyways. With my last pregnancy, my end weight was the same as my start weight!

I would have gone and ate somewhere if someone did that to me... Well, wait... I DID have a friend do that... BUT she is probably the ONLY person that could get away with doing it due to who she "is". She's a woman who really has no filter but always means well. I knew I was big. I had a mirror, a scale, and clothes that…

I do when I feel entitlement, or rebellion. Like if my husband endulges in cigarettes, poker or buys something for himself, then I will be like "well I deserve something too damn it"! It gets really bad. I'm working on it though.... Last week my husband and I stopped smoking, so I binged on Friday because I felt like…

Why would you hate Spanx? It gives women confidence that they look good in their clothes. I don't see anything wrong with that. It can tighten up the wiggle, and smooth out the lumps and bumps. It doesn't reduce your size. When I was 149 I still wore them because I was still wiggly from my excess skin... It helped me feel…

I used to suffer from bullemia... Throughout highschool, and until I was about 24 or so. It was a long road, but I can honestly say I hardly ever think about it anymore.

I just completed C25K. I can't believe how much I missed running! Now, at 261lbs, I am running 4k which takes me about 34 min. I'm slow, but its a start! I can't wait to go faster and farther! I'd like to do a 10k by March/April!

^^ This, I think, is number ONE.

I'm 5'9, REALLY hoping to get down to 145, it will beat my lowest adult weight of 149, AND I hope to be a whole lot more fit by then! I don't want to end with the flabby belly I did last time ;)

261.2 this week... down .3

Hi Everyone... I'm also addicted to pizze. I used to have it 2-3 nights a week, sometimes less, sometimes more. I still have it probably once a week. Hell, I had it tonight. Tonight was good though because I found Palermo's Margharita Pizza 260cals for 1/3 of the pizza!! I've been a pizza addict since I was little. I…

I feel like this once every 28 days... Give it a few days, and give yourself a little "recoup" time. You may just need to take a mental breather. I know my energy and motivation comes and goes almost weekly. Hang in there!! You'll never know what lies at the end of the road if you don't travel it, no matter how slow you…

Me too! I get uncomfortable when people notice or want to talk about it with me (Other than my husband and a couple close friends). The last time I was on a diet I talked about it with a few friends and then fell off the wagon. I was mortified. Now that I'm losing again, I don't want anyone to see me yet because I don't…

-- of fat... You can lose 1lb by using the washroom sometimes ;)
