Congratulations!!!

Holy Canoli, I can't even manage to stay at 1200 on the days I don't workout. Couldn't imagine doing that.

OMG, there is this fantastic Italian restaurant at home (can't remember the name), but they have a baked mostacholi with 3 different cheeses, red/white sauce and two giant meatballs, all served in a dish the size of a football. I can almost taste it, thank God I am half way around the world b/c I'd have to go there for…

You two look absolutely fantastic. Thanks for sharing.

It may not be as slow to lose weight as you are thinking. MFP is estimating 1 lb a week, but everyone is different. You don't know how your body will react to the change in food and exercise. Some people can lose weight very quickly and others are slow, don't worry about how many lbs MFP says, just focus on the day and…

This thread makes me angry and very sad and it's not because of the people that have admitted they have issues, it's because something somewhere has brought us to that point of obsession, but what is it? What has happened that makes us become obsessed with our physical appearence and what numbers show up on the scale? In…

I started working with a trainer doing weight lifting 3 days a week. He told me that if I want to burn the stored fat in my body I need to do the ellipitcal or treadmill for at least 40 minutes a day and keep my heart rate in the fat burning zone.

You need to eat as many calories as your BMR, find out what that is and eat at least that many a day. If you exercise you can eat those calories as well, but I only eat about half of my exercise calories. If you eat too little and are starving your not doing anything good. You won't lose weight and you will very tired and…

I tried Hulu and I get a message saying that you cannot download or view files outside the US. :sad:

I have a hard time believing that a website such as this or WW or any other weight loss program can give you accountability. The definition of accountability is the willingness to accept responsibiltity for one's actions. I do believe that this website will give you the tools to help you succeed, lots of motivation as well…

No, not in the military but I work for the Department of Defense and came over here to do my part. I'm living on a military base and eat at the chow hall everyday so the food part of this journey is difficult b/c I don't always know exactly how many calories, etc, are in my food.

Totally Agree.

I am 5'1" and have always been overweight. At 21 I lost almost 70 lbs and got to 127 lbs and wore juniors size 3. I looked too thin and very unhealthy. I was skinny fat then too. I have a goal weight of 125, but I want look fit, toned, have definition so I think I'll probably end up between 130 and 135, but I tell myself…

I googled it and it sounds like every other exercise program out there. Read this review at http://www.mylifestylediet.com/fitness-model-program.php. I read this review and a few others and it sounds like she is what every woman wants to be, that's where she is going to sell you on her product. The above review talks about…

I love love love Pepsi, it's the best thing ever (in my opinion), I used to drink 6 or 7 a day but quit it cold turkey. The first few days are hard, but it will get better. I started drinking sweet tea instead, which is still not great, but better, and eventually started using less sugar in my tea until I went all unsweet…

If you stop now, how will you feel about yourself? Are you the type of person that if you don't complete a goal you'll feel bad about it or be angry with yourself? If you are you might be setting yourself up to gain your weight back. I don't know how often you "report" your dieting/weight loss to him, but maybe if it's a…

HAHAHAHA, I locked my cousins baby in my car once and had to call the police to get the doors opened. My baby sister was with me and thought they were going to take us to jail for child abuse.

I thought that salary was the same thing as celery. I thought that a witch sat outside my bedroom window every night and watched me sleep. I would never let my mom open my window at night b/c the witch would come and get me (I don't know why, but it was real to me). I thought that if I hung my legs/feet over the bed that a…

What a difference, you can totally see the change. Good for you and keep up the good work.

This was great.....:laugh:

I don't know when a 10 became a plus size. All I know is that I am ready to shop for normal sized clothes.

Black is best. It actually taste good (the way it's supposed to). I used to drink coffee with lots and lots of creamer, but can't even stomach the taste now days. I know there are a lot of suggestions about sweetners, artificial flavors, but be careful using those. They have a lot of chemicals that your body does not need,…
