UGH don't you hate this predicament!?!?! I have lost 40 and met my goal and still have to deal with this but now i'm allowed a little more calories on maintenance. My first suggestion is do NOT go crazy and put it off as "well it's just one day", that is not going to be maintainable if you put meals as just ONE bad one,…

How stinking adorable!!! One of my chihuahuas likes to share yogurt with me hehe

I'm sorry I thought you were putting me down. I have seen myself after surgery losing and being 111 and i really look horrible but I might have thought that was "sexy" but i def had a bad perception without my friends opionions because i think if i lost more the boobs would go and organs would pop out. in high school that…

try stretching more, a friend at work has an issue because never stretched. Maybe ask a "running company" for information. We have one called haddonfield and one in Wilmington called wilmington running company. they all have a website and you might want to just give a call because they will be glad to answer that question…

and you are pathetic for putting someone down on a motivational site.

then maybe i should look unhealthy and like a skeleton.. when you start a weight loss journey you have to do a lot of research on where to stop and it A LOT of research. And when you are almost 30 years old and your body has changed a lot since you gained the weight you dont know the ending point. I have to say when people…

Thanks :-) I'm glad my friends told me when I looked the best though cuz the goal that I was probably going for was not going to be maintainable and I'd like to make sure that I look healthy and what my goal was probably too thin for me but it took a lot to realize that like the concerned speeches from friends at work and…

lol I know I shouldn't lol but it's so typical of us gals! i had 4 dog toys and had a tap at my leg during day 3 of recovery because my bf wanted to see if that would take me out cuz I looked so sickly which was from my overnight loss lol (that's humorous not mean to me). The last squeaker almost got me lol but the ice…

haha at this point that's all i got left so when guy friends at work give me "the speech" I'm like look all I got left to lose are boobs and I'm not looking to lose them so relax I'm not losing more hahaha I hope I didnt lose them in my 4 pound loss! Girls need to realize that though cuz the old me would have been 105 as a…

It takes a LONG time and a lot of will power to turn it down after a taste, one day you wil be there! it's not an everyday willpower but it will just "happen" that you will have that will power to have a bite on most days! I never could have 5 potato chips (50ish cals) but after work i need just a lil bit before i jog and…

nice little motivation :-) I like having either just a piece of it or drinking a bottle of water will sometimes stop the craving. You are so right that it will only make you feel good for a short amount of time :-)

congrats!!! great job and keep up the great work!!!

Thank you everyone for the tips! I looked under tools and my bmr is 1161 so i'll maintain with 1200 calories. :-) all of your advice was great. I am glad i'm in maintenance stage so at least I'm not trying to lose but i definitely want to maintain my metabolism. I have to add to my food intake because I'm not very hungry…

Yes!!! every 5 pounds I lost i got myself a massage!!! Now that I'm at my goal I listen to my body and reward myself with them as needed. Definitely reward yourself when you meet small goals like 5 or 10 :-)

Oh and celebrate every 5 pound loss, I got a massage for every 5 pounds. Think small goals that add up :-)

Your story is similar to mine! I started losing in January and now reached my goal of 40 :-) It is possible and most of my weight loss was with changing my diet. Don't go on a crazy all fruit, or no carbs, or no pizza diets, just eat healthier and count the calories even if it's a lick of an ice cream, that's calories, 5…

thanks guys! I will definitely go tonight now :-) This site estimated about 310 calories burned via rollerblading in 30 minutes for my weight but since it doesnt take into consideration hills or speed I am going to use an app called runkeeper on my phone to track it. If you see short, blond girl rollerblading at a park…

I love, love, LOVE insanity! I bought it knowing that the first few workouts would be really difficult and sometimes I'd take a longer break but eventually I could get through. I also went into it fully knowing I would not do it 6 days a week or in the right order, I dont like being told what to do in that aspect. I…

Congrats!!! it is a great achievement! A pound per week is the best way to do it! The looks from other people can be encouraging except the stink eye from other women (even my guy friends at work point it out and say "you've been eyeballed again". haha Good luck and great job!!! SW 155.1 GW 115.0 CW 115.0 Goal attained…

I am not a perfect person regarding nutrition but can answer that MFP puts your food intake at 1200 because to lose a pound a week you need a deficit of 500 calories from what you normally burn in a day. I use fitday.com in conjunction with this site because the calories burned here are confusing. Like if I burn 300…

I can give advice... but you might not like it sadly :-( I have lost 40 and only lost one a week other than the first week. It's really how it comes off in a healthy way. Yes very frustrating but think about how you have to restrict 3500 calories for each pound... if you want more than a pound a week you have to restrict…

awe I just read your posts, i'm very glad I could inspire you guys to stay on track. There really isn't any "trick" just stay in your calorie intake budget and workout to get the metabolism going a little bit. I did insanity which is not something that everyone's body can handle (or mentally handle!!) If you find yourself…

Thanks, the last 3 of the 40 were really difficult for me but I finally have gotten them off! I have the before and after on my profile :-) the "after" isn't an official after and was taken 5 pounds ago but it's still 35 pounds of loss when taken. I am hoping to take a real after soon and the before was when I was about…

Yep I understand :-) I have not dieted this entire time since I started, I still have whatever I want as long as it's in the calorie budget for the day and replace things like fries with salads and one slice of pizza for dinner and maybe a fruit salad to accompany, etc. There is NO dieting that is maintainable for life,…

One(ish) more pound and then maintenance! Scared that in like 2-3 weeks I'll be on maintenance and get those calories back that I've been restricting for the past 8 months (obviously not ALL of the calories but as in not having 500 per day restricted and some days going for a jog in order to have a specially nice dinner…

Thanks everyone! I really appreciate the congratulation's :-) I'm 5 foot even with a medium frame so 115 is actually more in the midpoint of my BMI using height (frame not considered), I was always like 107-110 in high school (sports practices daily!) but 115 is where I believe i should be with a maintainable caloric daily…

I have used Fitday.com since January and recently switched to myfitnesspal. My main reason for switching was the fitday app for the iphone is horrible. I have concentrated on always burning 500 more calories per day than I consume and that has made me successful. Burgers, fries, pizza are allowed BUT must be budgetted!!!…

I've recently discovered egg whites are like a best friend now! So high in protein, so low in calories and no fat or cholesterol! Love them!! Thanks for sharing this recipe!

Do these Polar ones take into consideration your weight? I know that is very important and want to make sure I get an accurate calories burned figure of course.
