Regardless of how many calories you are actually burning, you seem to have a very active lifestyle. If I were you I'd spend half of the time you would normally be at the gym preparing food for yourself for the next day. Have it ready and on hand so you have no excuse not to eat. Then spend that other half of the time at…

I second the Fiber One 90 calorie Chocolate Fudge Brownie. MMMMmmmm!!

You are my idol! Im so proud of you! You looked gorgeous on your wedding day and you looking fantastic now!

I have this problem. I am a 32E which most stores, including Victorias Secret, do not make or carry. I have to go to major department stores like Nordstroms or Macys. They are expensive but so worth it!

I get a great workout using a kettlebell. I use Jillian Michaels Shred it with Weights (its a kettlebell workout). Its a great core workout and really gets the hamstrings, too. It's very effective. That being said I did have my husband teach me how to properly use the kettlebell. He took kettlebell training at his gym for…

Definitely eat more while doing Insanity. I was eating at 1400 and it wasn't enough. I was getting really, really tired. Now I moved up to 1600 and am feeling MUCH better. I'm 5'1" and 122 and only looking to lose 8 more pounds. I'm only two weeks in and I've lost a little more than a pound and also two inches off hip and…

Well, I had an experience that made me smile. I was walking past a guy in the gym who was totally interested in his phone. He had just come in the door that I was about to leave through. I expected him to look up at me as I walked by but was disappointed when he didn't. (hey, im proud of my weight loss and I want to know…

I started at 1200 and lost 20lbs. On my last fifteen pounds, I went UP to 1500 and lost four pounds in two and a half weeks. WHOA! So I'm eating between 1400--1600 now and have now lost 25lbs total. On the last 8lbs and thinking of moving to a solid 1600, maybe 1800. I work out five to six days a week, currently doing…

I love this stuff! I use it in my chocolate protein shakes. The chocolate PB2 is also delicious. I got mine on Amazon.com. Its expensive but I think it was worth it. Mine was a 2 pack. One chocolate PB and one regular PB. I think it was $12.

Black Cherry tastes just like Cherry Coke and I love it. Please do your research before you say that Propylene Glycol is anti-freeze and insinuating that MiO is therefore dangerous. Perpetuating ridiculousness is unnecessary.

I had to have all four out, though only one was impacted. I didn't feel a thing and was high as a kite. It was great! Next few days I looked like a chipmunk, tended to drool but had lots of fun eating popsicles and jello :D They gave me vicodin for the pain but it made me so sick I just stuck with ibuprofen and was fine. I…

The only thing I notice in your diary is that your sugar intake is very high. Sometimes double the recommended amount. I don't count fruit sugar against myself but when I have too much sugar my weight loss seems to completely stall. I had to switch my snacks to less sugary choices (even though I loved them) because weight…

Roasted Pork Tenderloin with mashed baby red potatoes and homemade gravy. And apple and mango chunks for dessert.

I log it as circuit training. I use Jillian Michaels Shred it with Weights. Its a great workout, has a tutorial for if you've never done it before, and is about 30 minutes long. I love the core workout it gives along with some great hamstring work and its so easy! I always feel it the next day though. Whew! ETA: I use a…

I would eat some of those calories earlier in the day, especially if I knew I was going to be burning them. It doesn't matter how late you eat. I think they only reason its said not to eat to late is that it interferes with your sleep patterns if your body is busy digesting big food like steak. I am lucky in that I can eat…

I've read that as you get closer to your goal, your calorie deficit should also shrink. Large deficits work better for those with lots of weight to lose. I think that as long as you are NETTING 1200 calories, you have room to play around and see what works for you. Based on the twitter comment I think you'll be better off…

This definitely brought back memories!

I don't know if it helps but thats exactly what MFP did for me. And I only had 25-30lbs to lose too. I started at .8lb/week (since thats all it would let me do) and it had me at 1200. I've been very happy with my losses and its taken me six months to lose 25lbs. And that is consistent losses with no gains. I think it takes…

Well, I used to be one who was all about 1200 calories. I'm 5'1" so I thought that was the smartest thing to do. And then I got stuck with ten pounds left to lose. So, I listened to all those people who had success losing while eating more and I upped my calories. I ate at MFP maintenance levels (1500) for a week and lost…
-
How much do you have to lose? If you are on 1200 and have a lot to lose you could definitely eat more. Or set your MFP goals to lose 1lb a week and get those extra calories. It's not worth it to try to lose faster if you can't stick with the restriction. You want something you can *do* not leaves you so hungry youre going…

I think if you tracked what you are eating properly, you would find the problem. You may find you are consuming far more calories than you think. Its the things you dont think really "count" that can be your undoing.

You are amazing! That was a fascinating read :)
-
Just pre-ordered this! Yay!!
-
Good for you! And not just in your face but your neck, too! And I see a hint of collarbone in that second picture! You are doing very well!

As far as I know, the only way is to keep on losing. Thats what Im doing. Its the last place the fat leaves on me :(

I'm hoping for 114 and I started at 147. Currently 122. 115 is a totally reasonable weight goal to have. Friend me if you want support :D

It took me six months to lose 25 lbs. Now Im working on the last nine. Ive actually increased my calories over the last three weeks and lost 2lbs. Im hoping that keeps up since previously I was barely squeaking by with not quite half a pound a week. Im still experimenting. But like fteale said Im giving myself six months…

Coke zero or Cherry Coke Zero! I dont cave to scare tactics, have no allergic reactions to aspertame, still get in more than the recommended amounts of water and savor every sip of my calorie free Cokes!
