Cookie-Good job! I weighed this a.m. and am finally back to 124, so we're getting closer! I am so impressed w/your exercise! Keep up the good work.

Hi Cookie! Glad to see you here! I have been so much better about being "anal" with my cals and exercise since I joined this group, and I am so proud and impressed with your commitment to workouts. Now I have both motivators in one spot! Bstamps-Want you to know that it was after seeing and hearing about your running…

Hi, I'm with you on how much of a struggle this is! I get it off and it comes back, it's really hard. I am glad to have found this group and to all of you, you look great in your pics!

Thanks for the info and request! CW is 124.4, as of this a.m., and goal weight is 115 for now. May try for 112 later. I think right now my primary excess is calories. I have absolutely got to get more control of maintaining calories. I am terrible, terrible, I eat way too much to expect to lose. Did well yesterday, plan to…

Hi, I have been on MFP for several months now, trying to lose the last 10, but I know from experience that keeping it off will be just as tough. So, I was looking for a last 10 lbs group, and found you guys, so if it's ok, I would like to join. Anything special I have to do, other than start monitoring and logging my…

Just saw where you said getting it out of the house doesn't work. Sounds like carrots or other snacks might be more helpful. Also, since you are working and so active all the time, you might just need all those cals, and your body is craving them. Maybe just try to focus on making sure to eat healthy stuff, and doing the…

I completely agree w/the guy who said to get it out of the house. That's the best trick I can think of. I have the same problem, and when it's out of the house, I may be irritated for a few minutes, angry that I can't get what I want in the moment, but then you find something else, like lemon water, hot decaf tea, or some…

Ok, I'm not an expert, but here's what I'm thinking and I would try if I were you...the cereal is A LOT of cereal, probably a lot of carbs and calories, as opposed to lots of fiber and protein. You might try to add more protein to that meal, and replace some of the calories you are eating (SNICKERS) with LOTS of veggies, a…

Reading them now and will get back to you in a few...

What are you eating? That does sound funny, but I bet you built a lot of muscle in your legs and core by starting to do that elliptical, if you hadn't been doing it before. Muscle will weigh more, so that may account for why you haven't lost poundage like you had in mind. I can't really see your stats, such as height and…

Best wishes! Like I said, enjoy the rapid drop in pounds and sizes like an amusement park ride, b/c the thrill of losing the tiny bits are nothing like those times of joy! I'm excited for you and your next 70 lbs. Also, that's great that she's a good person, b/c I was kind of wondering about that, but took the assumption…

Hey, I am so sorry you are experiencing this, but I'm glad you posted it. I'm kind of on the other end, to where people get upset and make comments when I talk about losing weight. I'm also glad your topic was to get help being understanding, because that's what I would encourage you to do. Even though she's smaller, she…

Hey, I've been a veggie for about 7 yrs now, and just wanted to offer some info. I was thinking, if you are way over your calories, you might analyze the other stuff than the veggies to see what might have excessive calories. B/c the veggie diet is usually pretty easy to slash calories, as opposed to a regular diet. So…

Wow, that sounds great! I know what you mean RE: starting a tiny bit and then binging and ruining it! Aaaagghhh! Sounds like you're the type having to work on belly, but my prob is the back of the legs. Gross. The best ab work I've seen is lying on your back, raising legs into the air w/toes pointed toward ceiling,…

Wow, I hope that Turbo Fire does it. Never heard of that, but sounds like a good fat burner. The fitness pal told me to do 1200 cals, so that's what I started today. Haven't kept up w/it EVER like I am doing now. It's a lot of trouble, but I'm ready to get scientific to accomplish my goals. Long term is just to get to…

Heck yea! Thanks so much! I've started a new plan to get up at 4:30am to get to the gym. Have only been doing what I would call mild cardio approx 2x/wk, so this is going to be a big deal. I finally decided I can't keep doing this planning to do it in the a.m., then planning to do at night, then too tired and planning for…
