I think you are using all of the figures to try to talk yourself out of your biggest fears, to ask someone on here to validate your size and your goals and avoid what you already know. Your brain and body is telling you something. You have already said it in your statement that you know something is wrong but you are not…

Me. All Me. No one can make me feel good about myself until I feel it. The workouts I do, the foods I now choose to eat(and the ones that got the boot) are to make me healthier. I am on this darned never ending plateau, but I choose to keep on moving and trying new thing. I am too stubborn to give up. I like the way my…

Again I am going to say like others here the heavier you are the more you will burn simply from exertion. I burn somewhere between 700-900 calories at a 60 min. Zumba class. I used to think it was lower but when I sync the fitbit before I go to class and then after, those are the results with Endomondo/fitbit/ and negative…

I'm pretty much on here all the time and a religious logger. I've got 80 more to go, and it is going too slow for 'my' will, but I wouldn't trade the journey thus far. Feel free to add me

You have to give your body time, we are all here because we didn't treat it so well. It will start to react to what you are doing soon. A safe weight loss is about 1 pound a week for a slow, steady and hopefully permanent loss. You still have time to see your body wow you. Now if it had been a whole month and you only lost…

Congratulations on all of your hard work. This lifestyle change is not easy, but it is so worth the results in the end.

Are you serious? The verbal insults will NOT stop. If he couldn't stand you while you were pregnant, what makes you think he is going to find a new leaf to turn over? Sorry to say this, but I see a duck and have to say it's a duck. People that are verbally scathing are abusers, your bruises are on the inside. If you…

bump...going to watch this.

ahahaha ^^^ yes!

Good grief I was just told this by a potential personal trainer on Saturday!!! I was going to him(or was) about why I am working out harder than I ever had in my life and I hadn't lost an ounce since November. He said "I was getting denser and gaining more muscle and everyone knows that muscle weighs more than fat". I kind…

Thanks... I am starting to notice clothes fitting differently again, but the tape measure is 'measuring' that yet. I did two workouts today to counteract the pity party. Unless I have something internal that is going on, I am just sitting not so pretty. Time of Month is an enigma since that particular organ is no longer…

Target has some of their workout wear on sale including some Champion bras. I use a bra that i have shrunk out of under my sports bra. I just bought one with molded cups and adjustable straps so we will see how the girls like it. It's good to loose some inches there, but the floppy feeling I do not like.

I have wondered that too. I have been doing this legitimately since April 2012 and I am only to a 40.5 loss. It averages to a 1.2 lb loss a week..wish it were more. I have tried loosing fast- I plateaued. I tried working out all the time- I lost inches not pounds and then plateaued. I listened to a MFP friend say I was…

Yes do it! Take some edit them, store them away. Take them around the same time every month,IE:15th. After 6 or 7 months of continuous monitoring of your calories/exercise, you will be amazed at what you see. It is also motivation to never go back to month 1. I measured everything from three weeks into this journey and…

bump. To simply go through the websites for chewing and ingesting the information contained.

Bump. I'll have to take a pic of my yummy breakfast again tomorrow. It's yummy, good for you, plus it's under 400 calories and filling.

Congratulations on all of your hard work!! You deserve to post pictures!!

You have inspired me to go ahead and try the 30DS program!!! If you can do it and proudly post your results, so can we all!! What a hard worked for change! Not only did you do it for yourself, you did it for those gorgeous girls!! What a proud dad you are!! Best of luck to you!!

You are taking charge and taking names!! You look amazing, you always did though! That cruise ship will not know what hit it when you show up! :) Can't wait to see you when the other 10/15 comes off, you are going to blow away in the Florida breeze. Who am I kidding, I just can't wait to see you again! Congrats my friend!!

I would say more whole grains and more veggies. I can't tell about your sodium content...is it over? Taking vitamins? Also do try to up your calories for awhile and see if that jumps your metabolism some as well as drinking your water. If you are working out a lot, your body may could use some more nutrients.

DON'T answer this.... IMO. I did and it did not go well for me. I thought "in the event of full disclosure and honesty to our relationship". I had more partners than my husband. He had one before me. And he has brought it up over and over and over again. We have been together for 26 years and he still brings it up. My past…

big bump for later read... Have to get back to work.

That is fabulously great^^^ Someday I hope to Rawwwwrrr someone....working on it though.

Older than you by a few years...but have about 80 more pounds to loose irregardless. I'm very active on here and could use active folks along for our journey. Feel free to add me if you would like.

^^^THIS!

Wow there are some inspirational stories on here... I'm newly 45..been trying to work my fanny off to loose weight, I drop some and then the scale doesn't move for a month despite what I do... MFP has me set at 1900 calories but I try to shoot for lower than that and allow myself a cheat day to boost up a stagnant…

I only got through 5 pages and I am laughing so hard.... I wish I could use some! Some of my close friends from HS have a thread on FB that has been going on for over a year now... when we see completely ridiculous crap we stick it in the thread. I am wondering how some of the classmates have made it this far in life...…

bump I have some things to say about this, but I'm falling asleep in front of the computer...time for bed.

Um, mine is part of my ancient email address....back in the day(1994) of new household computers and my very first Compuserve internet account. Basically is it broken to Mommy of twins. Obviously i have had twins, identical boys....but I had another boy and a girl, so they kind of got left out of that one. Now they are all…

I have been doing Zumba for about 4 weeks now. I felt like a total fool and about ran over everyone the first couple of days... Now I know 90% of what I am doing and yesterday was the first day I new the moves before the instructor did them. I might even come off the corner of the back row now... Keep GOING!! Everyone…
