Hello Rae, Do not feel like a dummy for trusting your trainer. They are in a leadership position and usually you can depend on their advice due to their education. You are learning that eating less is not the best way to lose weight especially if you are very active when exercising. Your muscles and other vital parts will…

Hi there! I have also been stuck for the past 3 months when it comes to the scale... But I realize how much more energetic now and how awesome my clothes are fitting. I am learning that I am gaining muscle and my body is taking the time to catch up with all the progression of the past few months! Just so I would enjoy…

Totally in agreement. How inconsiderate and narrow minded it is to say such comments and don't even know a person's story. This is another problem within societies especially in the U.S. Heavy and negative stereotypes on "obesity" and what people think they "know" about the obese population. Many of those who are striving…

Love this! :flowerforyou:

Congratulations on your success so far! Very inspiring :).

Hi bula! I am actually 5'10 and my goal weight is 190 and I will see how it goes when I get there. You can add me and look at my pics and see where I was and where I am now. I started off at 252 and I am down to 215.

Is it too late to join? I am on day 4!

Thanks!

SOOO AWESOME AND INSPIRING! CONGRATS!! :drinker:

When you first started mfp and you typed in all your information such as: how many times per week you would work out and your weight and height... the system calculated how many calories you need to eat each day in order to lose a pound per week (or whatever selection you made). For an example... my intake is 1800 calories…

Hi everyone! My name is Candace and I have struggled with my weight since I was in middle school. I am currently doing very well and trying to stay motivated to get to my halfway mark of my goal! I look forward to sharing this journey with all of you! SW: 252 CW: 216 GW:190

Since I was in middle school I have struggled with my weight and the realities of being an overweight female. Dealing with self-esteem issues and everything else that comes along with it. While growing in my relationship with God, I learned that if I am not satisfied with the way I look or feel I need to change it. God…

Good luck! You can do it!

I have been frustrated with my scale not moving for the past month now. After reading your post I was reminded to look at how much healthier I am becoming and how much my body is changing. Thank you for posting your experience. It has really helped me and I believe I will start measuring my body now and not solely rely on…

Thanks so much. I did not realize I was eating so much sodium!

Thanks for the advice guys. I will try out most of these suggestions and I opened up my diary if you want to view it.

I am currently doing the Zumba DVD's and with it and eating right I have lost 30 pounds and also gaining some lean muscles. So far the workout is still working for me.

Thank you everyone! I will take in all of your advice and use it. I will definitely make sure I have some snack bars on me just in case! Thanks!

All of these are great ideas! I will try to incorporate nuts into my diet since I enjoy them. I will continued trying different foods and paying attention to the impact of my workouts. Thanks so much!

I love Zumba. I love Latin music and Latin dances so it is a great combo for me! Thank you so much, look forward to getting to know you and learning some tips from you. Good luck!

I am currently working out with the DVDs but I have considered doing classes. Thank you so much and I will keep your advice in mind!
