  • I'm 5'10 Started at 260 - almost 9 months ago - When I started I was only eating 1600 per day and working out, the weight flew off - now I'm working out and eating around 2200 per day and the weight is coming off slower but steady, 2-3 pounds a month - i'm currently at 199, trying to get to 175pds - size 22 at 260,…
  • I have the same problem! I work in a school, way too busy to eat much for lunch, then eat a protein bar 30 minutes before practice(I coach right after school ends) I get home around 7p and am starving..............It is everything I can do not to eat everything in sight. The only thing that has been working for me is to…

  • So awesome I bet it feels amazing!!!!
  • So happy for you:) I can't wait to join you!!
  • Keep up the good work!
  • I think everyone deals with bullies differently. When girls from an opposing team play dirty or are "talking smack" to the girls on my team, I always say the same thing each time: If they get you once turn the other cheek but don't let them hit you twice. You gain confidence by standing up for yourself So my advice is…
  • Awesome!! Great job:)
  • I work out for an hour a few days a week. The machines at the gym say I've worked off about 500 calories. "eating back" I just have a protein smoothie afterwards that I don't count towards my daily total These are anywhere from 200-260 calories depending on what I put in it Like other posters have said, make sure at least…
  • I am at almost the same place as you are. 5 weeks in! Some days I too have a problem eating all my calories. In my head I'm thinking sweet I've only eaten 1,000 calories I'm going to lose soo fast. But then my smarts come back to me - I cannot maintain a 1,000 calories per day lifestyle, so why would I want my body to get…
  • I think it's great you are so focused. I too have been totally focused this past month! The thing is, if I'm not totally focused I won't succeed. Call it obsessed, that's fine! Being obsessed about a healthier lifestyle sounds fantastic to me.............And if you are anything like me, you've had enough cookies in the…
  • I'm down almost 15 pounds in my first month! (5'10, 260 to 246) I have much more to go and know it will slow down as the months go on but I'm so happy on my first month progression! I'm strictly counting calories on MFP, I have not cheated even one day this first month. I know there will come a time for cheat days but…
  • "If I want it bad enough I will achieve it" Your above quote stuck out to me. I've known for years I need to lose weight, but I told myself I didn't have to - I could still walk normal, my family/friends love me either way, ect. But 25 days ago I said enough I'm doing this for me To feel better To look better And to be a…
  • On your way home from work is key! If I get home first in the evening, there is no way I'm going back out to the gym. But if I go on my way home from work it's perfect for 3 reasons: When I get home from gym I eat dinner, and my metabolism is up from just working out I'm usually not as hungry after the gym because I'm so…
  • "small, sustainable lifestyle changes one step at a time" You've got the right idea!!!! Keep it up Every day will have some hard moments, but each day moving forward you'll face those hard moments a little better
