I am trying to restart as well. About 2.5 years ago I was 140lb ( which was a 73lb drop). This was a result of meticulous logging and running 3-4 times a week. Since I stop logging 2.5 years ago I have gained approximately 30lb (8lb in the last 45 days). I am ready lose those 30 lb get healthy again. Anyone that is…

I turned 40 this year. I am working on getting fit and losing a few pounds. :) anyone can add me. :) lets get healthy. :)

You can add me. :) I am in the similar boat. I need to drop 20 lb. I have a busy life and have a tendency to snack. I have lost 75 lb about 2 years ago but gained 20 back. Now I am working on dropping this new 20 lb. Let's work on it together :)

i am a runner. i have been unable to run over last 2 months (at the rate that i would like). i am hoping that i will be back on track in March. i have about 15 lb that i need to drop to get to my goal.

Count me in! I have 20 more pounds go (already lost 57). Need all the support i can get to get to my ultimate BMI of 21.

hang in there i know it is hard. in the beginning 80% of your weight loss will come from food now exercise.

This is really helpful :) count me in :)

i am a runner. lets support each other. :)

try to cut down on salt. i have tired a salt free diet and i dont smell any more. i did this diet a few years ago (for 2 weeks i was 100% salt free) and i did not smell for 6 months. there was no need for deodorant. i sweated but it had no taste (face sweat) or smell (under arms). we are what we eat. examine you diet. are…

try to go salt free for a few days. it is possible you are eating salt and not really realizing it. For example crackers can be full of salt, rotisserie chicken in covered in salt. if your plateau is related to salt u should see difference in less then a week. basically, i was on a plateau a few weeks ago. it drove me…

Thank you all for taking the time to reply. i really appreciate everyone's input. it is good too see that there is a consistent set of suggestions coming from an experienced crowd. Thanks Keep running :)

it's an important milestone! i finally put on my ring about a month ago and had the same reaction. in rethought, this summer i was planning to take it to be re-sized, i am glad i did not do it. :)

take a look at my diary see if you can find any filling-food ideas. i do around 1200 most days even if i work out (run 4-5 times per week). some days i struggle but most days i am totally ok. i am 38yo 5'7" and currently my weight is 185. i started 2 1/2 months ago and was at 211lb (heaviest point of my life).

you go girl! i am on 43 days too. i lost 24 pounds! i feel like i am on the roll! got way more energy. about to start strength training. i bet we can double that 43 day streak. :)

when i started running about 2 1/2 months ago i was really out of shape. i was 211 pounds. i am 5'7" 38yo. i stated by running during the down hill portions of my walks. gradually i started to run on the flat parts. Now i can run for an hour + with out any issues on any type of terrain. However my speed is really slow like…

so i am trying to break out of a 3 week long plateau. here are the two things that i am trying this week to see if i can break out of this plateau. 1) trying a lower my salt intake. i think my plateau might be related to water retention. 2) trying new exercise routine. i think my muscles have gotten to be efficient at my…

take a look at my diary see if that helps. I found that doing salad twice a day really helps keep the numbers down.

thanks for this post. VERY INSPIRING! actually, read your post twice :) you rock, girl! i am trying to run my way to my target weight. this week my scale is refusing to budge, so i really needed some inspiration this week. i guess my body is taking a break. reading your post is very reassuring. thanks for taking the time…

MFP has me at 1260 and i am struggling with these numbers. my current "philosophy" is that i need to run so that i can eat (adopted this "philosophy" from a friend). i am at 195 now and my goal is 160. i am 5' 7" been at it for 6 weeks now. Feel free to add me and take a look at my diary! I mostly try to eat raw veg/fruit…
