Very sorry for your loss! Welcome back, wishing you tons of success on your journey!

***The more I am on MFP the more I am turned off of it*** I thought I had seen it all on this site in the past few weeks but now even illegal drugs are promoted as weight loss aids.......sigh.....

I agree. It's hard to tell if you are consuming too much sodium or poor nutritional food choices.

I hit about a 5 week plateau like you I increased my calories, from 1200 to 1500 a day and have started seeing the scale move again. I have made sure that I eat very clean cutting out all fast food and processed foods and eating 5 meals a day. It has been working really well the past week or so. Once I made minor…

I will have a tummy tuck once I get to my goal weight again. I have had two large babies (both over 9 pounds) and had a previous weight loss of just over 120 pounds so my tummy leaves much to be desired. However I agree with what others have said.....NO WAY would I get it done without being done having kids first. If your…

I started it a while back......got to day 3 and gave up :( I really wanted to start back, however I JUST hate doing DVD workouts with my husband around!

Congrats! I can't wait to be back there again myself! Keep up the good work!

I did Atkins back in 2002 to 2004 and lost just over 120 pounds! Kept it off for years until I started trying to get pregnant with our second child in late 2009 then sadly gained a lot while pregnant. I went back to it after delivery of my son, however it just did not work for me any longer.

Thank you for posting this! I am also hypo. I have been eating between 1100 and 1200 calories a day based on the MFP recommended 1200 for a weight loss of 2 pounds per week for me. In several week I have lost between 2 and 4 pounds. According to this calculation I should be eating more around 2100. Which seams a lot to me.…

Thank you for your replies. I get fairly clean anyhow but really interested to see her take on it, I know that the success stories on her website are very inspirational, and I love that it is not a diet or calorie counting program!

Totally agree!! We are all here for the same reason ...... to be healthy. I just joined a few weeks ago and so far I am getting pretty turned off by the posts from members who feel their way of losing weight is the only way!

Also...... Ketosis does not mean that your body is eating itself. Many people are ill informed about the difference in ketosis due to a kentogentic diet such as Atkins, and ketoacidosis which is a serious medical condition. There is a DIFFERENCE!!! If a person is in ketosis when pregnant it more than likely has something…

As long as you are losing don't be too concerned with what the Ketostix measure. All they do is measure the amount of ketones that spill over into your urine, if you are drinking a lot of water this may be the reason for the negative reading. There are other ways to tell if you are in ketosis or not.....sour odor breath,…

Congrats you have done well! I am the same height and I can't wait to get where you are!

Congrats! You have done very well! So aside from working out are you following a specific diet? Keep it up!

I also log as I eat. I have too busy of a life with a 9 year old, a 6 month old and nursing school to pre-plan anything let alone my meals ;)

I have set my goals by date to keep me motivated and give me something to strive for, however I know that I can only do my best and if I don't make the goal by the date it's ok, I will eventually make it, that I KNOW!

I lost 40 pounds on Nutrisystem in 2009 ....... what happened when I got totally burnt out on eating from a box? I gained the weight back! Although my loss has been very slow as of lately, I am finding that eating the right amount of the right foods makes me feel so much better then eating processed foods from a box.

**LIKE** Really trying to get my husband on the healthy bandwagon with me. He supports my efforts 100%, but so far no luck getting him on board. I love him to death and it's not about vanity it's about his health!

You can do it!

Fantastic idea! What a great way to support each other! Hope I have a twin out there ;) 5'3" Age: 31 Female HW: 259, first pregnancy 254, second pregnancy CW: 209.5 GW: 140

Thank you all so much for your support! I one thing that I have noticed from a lot of the successful people on here is that most are not on some restricted weight loss program or expensive weight loss plan. Most simply did it though eating the right amounts of the right foods and to get their bodies moving! I have a lot to…

I have currently lost an elephants heart! Now I just need to lose at least another one ;)

whoops double post ;)

Congrats! Truly inspirational! You look fantastic and I bet you feel even better!

Congrats! You look beautiful!

Your pictures are not showing up, but I can't wait to see your progress!

My first thought ( I only looked at a few days) is that you are not eating enough! Also I don't see much in the way of fruit or veggies in your diet.

I am on Cycle 1 Day 11 and have lost 2 pounds, however I am sure it is probably more however this way of eating has really had me "backed up" :(
