Congratulations you look awesome!

I hope you have not been eating 1000 calories a day for 5 months that is unhealthy! My doc has told me to never go under 1500 per day. Just started doing that this week and started losing again before that I was on a several week up 3 down 3 cycle. I am going with docs recommendation from now on. However, I am sure there…

I recently asked my doctor this exact question and he said not to add the exercise calories. There is lots of debate on this but I do not add mine and I am fine. I have recently upped my calories from 1200 to 1500 on advice of my doc. Good luck on your journey!

Try taking melatonin about an hour before bed. This helps me when I work out late. It is a totally natural ingrediant that your body produces but sometimes it needs a little help especially if you are working out within 3 hours of bedtime. Good luck and happy dreams to you!

WOW girl you are lucky! Thanks for the helmet warning, I admit I rarely wear mine but will start. Take care of yourself and hope the bruises heal fast.

Thanks for all the advice. I really do love my husband and did feel much better after I went and rode and then did my weight routine. Great stress relief. I think maybe he just wants me to ride more with him outside which I do on Saturday mornings when it is cooler but not over any mountain passes - LOL! When I got home,…

Believe me I have talked to him and it just makes him mad. I told him everything I said here and he just storms off.

Anything you enjoy, Try different things until you find what you like. I use to only do ellipitical but starting using the recumbent bike and love it. So I switch them out. Really anything you like and will keep you going. I also love doing weights, it is fun to see the little bit of muscle under all the fat!

Congrats - what a wonderful feeling!! Enjoy being the thinner mother of the bride!

When you first work out, you gained weight. Just hang in there, it will drop. Your body may be holding on to fluids from the working out. Just ignore the dang scale it is evilllll. How are your clothes fitting, did you measure yourself? Look at those clues to see if you are gaining muscle, muscle weighs more than fat!

Hi! Feel free to add me as a friend if you need a buddy. This weight loss stuff is hard work and we need each other to get through it!

Welcome! The first week will be a little tough but once you get into the habit, it just happens! I exercise 5-6 days 60 minutes a day and now it is just a habit that I look forward to. Best of luck and let me know if I can do anything to help.

I don't eat my exercise calories, seems like it defeat the purpose of exercising. Calories in/calories out is what it is all about. Today it told me I had 1450 exercise calories - that is crazy more than my 1200 allowed. I would never be able to eat all of them!
-
I work out 6 days a week. It is all about calories in, calories out. Yes if you exercise a lot sometimes you will be building muscle and may have a temporary gain but it will all even out. I have a friend who has lost 300 pounds in 3 years and she works out 6 times a week and it sure helped her. Exercise is not just about…

Congratulations that is awesome!!!

I quit WW after one week on MFP I like it so much better. I don't know why but I just do. I guess I like calorie counting more than points, just makes more sense and easier to track.
-
That is great! Keep going and don't look back!
-
I try to do 60 minutes 5-6 times a week so about 300-400 each week.
-
Congrats you look great!
-
WOW awesome results!! You should be so proud of yourself, such an inspiration!!
-
I did the HCG diet for 30 days and lost 35 pounds. However, once I started eating again I gained it all back! I felt like crap the whole time I was on it. My cholesterol went down but that was probably just from the weight. I have been on MFP for almost 2 weeks and am about two ounces from losing 10 pounds. Feel great and…

Great will power! My husband loves to go to Costco for the samples. I am never tempted because I always feel they look at me and think "hey fat chick why are you eating this you do not need any more calories". Guess I should get over that!
-
That is great!! Keep up the good work - amazing results!

I am from Littleton, Colorado. Just signed up 12 days ago. Loving the site so far.

Definitely not! You should exercise at least 5-6 times a week to lose weight. I exercise 6 days a week for an hour or so every day.
-
Wow awesome job!! You are awesome!

My daughter hates water too but she will drink Propel. Try those or put lemon in your water. I love water but it was an acquired taste. I just forced myself and now I love water and drink about 10-15 glasses a day!
-
I have only been on MFP for one week but have found that I really love it! I have done every diet too, just quit weight watchers as I was not seeing results. After one week on MFP, I am down 6 pounds. It is easy to track . You can do it, just take baby steps. One day at a time! Don't get discouraged. Giving myself the same…
