Feel free to add me if you'd like. I've lost 62 lbs so far, 25-30 to go. I track calories daily, whether good or bad, and work out/exercise most days of the week.

Awesome losses so far! Keep up the great work. Don't get disappointed if the losses slow down now. The first few weeks weight seems to drop off, after that it tends to slow down. Keep at it, it'll come off!

No. I figure that I did those daily acyivities when I was morbidly obese, and it didn't help make me smaller. I only count intentional exercise

go to cardio, select strength training. It gives you counts based on time entered.

This makes me sad/mad/frustrated. We have people like my 16 year old niece who is often sick because she can't get her diabetes under control through eating well or insulin...and to know there are those who are able to control their diabetes, but want to abuse the meds for muscle gains, of all things. So unfair.

Your body is going to change, as you get older, as you have kids. Your boyfriend will either love you through it all or not. If he can't accept physical changes, unfortunately maybe he isn't the right one. Does he think his body will always look exactly as it does now? Would you be less attractd to him if he lost or gained…

Omg I was going to post a similar thread a few days ago. Was doing squats, on my last set of 5 when this buff guy comes up to me, very loudly telling me I should go with lower weight or I would f$&@ up my back. I was pissed, given the last set is always the hardest when you're trying to push through it. Like you, I tried…

Bring the basics - your sneakers, workout clothes, music if you have a preference over what will get played over the speakers, water bottle. The gym will provide towels/clothes to wipe down the equiptment. If you want to shower/change there before going home/work, then bring your shower stuff and a change of clothes.…

I'm usually down the week before, then up several pounds the week of. Crazy how a couple weeks out of a month are out of whack because of TOM.

Same here. I work all day, but have 3 kids. I like to spend my evenings with them, so I go to the gym (or workout in my garage) after the kids go to bed. So I work out typically between 10:30-12:30 at night. Weekends are a bit different, as my gym isn't open at night. But M-F, it's night workouts for me. Sure, I could…

Amazing loss, such an inspiration. As a side note, did you report the trainers to gym management? Seriously, the one's that need truly need a PT are those of us whom are overweight/unfit.

Yes, all liquids counts towards your "water" intake.

I'd be worried about losing muscle, not only fat, eating at that much of a deficit. Losing weight is important, but not at the expense of your health.

I tend to listen to more pop/electronic music when doing cardio, but for lifting, I prefer something heavier, like five finger death punch, volbeat, etc. And @yusaku02 has me curious about that song, so i'm going to have to youtube it. Need some new songs for my lifting playlist.

Same here. I eat the cals that MFP says, for a 1lb a week loss, for me thats 1200 cals. Plus I eat approx. half my exercise cals back. Lost 62 lbs so far.

...when I could wrap a towel fully around me, with no gap ...when I was comfortable enough to get regular massages (I would never get a massage when I was at my heaviest - undress and have someone massage all my rolls? I don't think so)

BTW totally jealous. Would be ecstatic to have a set up like this.

I've taken over a section of our garage. Set up my weight bench/plates/etc out there. Not enough room there yet to move the treadmill, so for now I keep the treadmill in the bedroom. Next on my list is to get a squat rack to put out there.

I've done that with milk. I use 2% milk in my coffees, and have 2-3 cups a day. Over a week that can definitely add up. Even though I had been so diligent tracking what I "eat", I forgot to track that liquid. Kudos on realizing the mistake, and starting tracking it properly

Getting your workouts in is what's important, timing not so much. I tend to work out at night when my kids go to bed, so i often don't get back from the gym until after midnight. That works for me.

:smile:

I'm trying to build up the muscles in my legs through strength training (gotta love squats).

She's not calculating the points correctly. If you are friends with her, you might want to point that out. Granted, I don't know her size and how many points she gets daily, but when I followed WW, that one meal would have blown my daily points and more besides.

You all look so amazing!

Exact same here. DH isn't on MFP and I'm not on the sites/forums he's interested in. We do have lives outside of being married. I have women and men friends on here, most if not all the men are married.

You look great, congratulations!!

I don't follow their program, but the info in the book is very informative. It's worth a read to get a good understanding of lifting and eating right for lifting.

I lift different weight for different lifts, and there are different sets/reps for the different lifts. No way could I remember how I did from day to day, so I created my own spreadsheet which I print off, one for each month. I keep them so I can go back and see how I'm progressing. Tried an app to do it, but didn't like…

Absolutely loved this thread!
