  • UPDATE: It sounds weird, but when I weighed in last night (after dinner, mind you), I was 154 lbs! That was the lightest I've ever been in my life! I slept and in the morning, I was back at 161 lbs, but that's OK. I feel like I have a lot of water weight. Besides that, my gym performance is consistently improving. I feel…
  • I just want to tell everyone that I'm really happy to receive these replies and words of encouragement. I'd like to think I've accomplished a lot in 7-8 months. Before my weight loss, I've been battling major depression for almost 10 years since I lost my dad. I didn't have an ounce of self esteem, and have been obese all…
  • So, my friend and I took a picture after 1 month of working out (3 days a week), and there were very few changes. Only that my chest seemed somewhat more defined and I think my pants are getting loose. I'm ranging from 163-168 lbs now (possibly because of high sodium intake). I won't give up, but it gets a little hard…
  • That's how I got started! 30 minute walk every weekdays, and I lost over 50 lbs just doing that. Of course, you'll have to watch our calorie intake, too.
  • Hello! I just want to tell you all that I appreciate all the response. I didn't expect to get some replies at all! I'm somewhat stuck at 165 at the moment. The last 15 lbs are the hardest to lose. I've been working out for a month now. 20yearsyounger, It says 1,830 Calories / Day if I switch to 0.5 lbs a week.
  • Very possible! I've lost almost 70 lbs since May (with minimal work out, too). :) Try to perpetuate good habits!
  • My thoughts exactly. :( But I get the feeling he has a quota to meet, which is why he's doing that. But I shall persevere with research, MFP, Google, and my own desire to be healthier.
  • Ieodru, Yep. I was thinking about buying Whey Isolate. As much as I want to try to eat as much real protein, I can't seem to reach my target, so I am really considering that. It's just that I got confused when my trainer told me I probably shouldn't take it yet.
  • Really happy to get replies here! Thanks, everyone! :D
  • Thanks, guys! I did try to ask Google about the best times to start taking whey protein, but I just wanted to hear from people here. Thinking about doing 5x5 training!
  • Hello! You've been through a lot! I know you'll succeed as long as you drive yourself towards your goal. Don't ever give up and take control of your life!
