Keep at it. Eat less and move more. That seems to be working for me. Weight is coming off slow, but I have always been told if you lose it slowly, it's more likely to stay off :) Good luck and DON'T GIVE UP!!!

I've always wondered this. I have really just been walking on a treadmill. Wanted to lose some fat/weight before starting on weights. I wasn't sure if that was the right thing to do.

I'm walking and can't seem to lose more than 7 :( I have been going a little over a month. I have added a few weight machines too so I could be building a little muscle which could be why the scale isn't moving, but clothes don't feel any different either. Not sure what is going on :( Keep at it.

I want to have my masters degree in school counseling already (I start on that a week from Monday) and work and live in Florida. Mostly just live in Fl. I (think) I want that more than ANYTHING!!!

Awesome job - I see a little bit of a difference, but not much. I know how frustrating that is. I would LOVE to see a difference, but it seems to be taking forever. I also can't seem to lose more than 7 lbs :( My scale has been all over the place. Drives me crazy. Keep doing what you are doing. Baby steps. You will see…

Maybe it's not about wanting attention, even though those constant posts annoy the hell out of me too, maybe they do it to keep themselves accountable, know what I mean. Once you start posting every workout, if you stop people might think you gave up (although anyone can take a selfie in workout clothes and say they did it…

This is amazing and VERY inspirational. Great job and keep it up!!

First off - AWESOME JOB!!! I just started about a month ago. Only lost 7 lbs and already seem to be stuck there. I do the gym 5-7 days if able and I usually just walk on the treadmill for 45-60 min at different speeds and intervals. Sometimes I do a few weight machines, but only a few reps on a couple machines that I like…

I added you. Click on the picture then again on the name - I think that's how I did it LOL!! I thought I was going to need motivation from the friend who got me to join the gym - Come to find out I am her motivator and not a good one since she didn't go with me today LOL!! Let's keep each other on track :)

Yep, sorry. Don't buy it. If they were truly psychic wouldn't they be rich? They'd know winning numbers or be able to bet on any game. They are fake and out for your money.

What is the best way to accurately get a calorie count?? I stay under my calories anyway so that helps.

I base it on the calories that the treadmill gives me. That is why I am hoping it is accurate. I press the Personal Trainer button and hit Calories Goal. I type in 500. I don't do the heart-rate since it doesn't ask for it. I hate holding onto that bar the whole time.

Hahahahahahahaha!!! I had pizza last night actually. Two pieces :) They fit into my calories so I had them

I've been confused by this too. I do NOT do the shakes, but I try to use the cups, but sometimes I eat something where the serving size is more than what my cup is. I have been doing portion control with the cups, but doing my food on this site. I joined Planet Fitness so I can see just how many calories I burn on the…

I've always heard diet is worse than regular. Try to avoid ALL soda if you can. Gave it up 15 years ago or so and only occasionally do I have a root beer, but other than that I don't drink it at all :)

I want to lose 100. 50 for me would be a great start. It scares me to hear people losing so much and putting it all back on :( I have never lost more than 20 and after a few weeks of being STUCK there, I get mad and just eat. Figure, if I'm not going to lose anyway, I'll eat. Put it ALL back on and then some. I am doing…

That is wrong. I admire heavy set people in gym, especially since I am one of those heavier people in the gym. I would much rather see that because it means they want to make a change. Find out for sure if it is absolutely true before getting someone into trouble, but definitely say something if it is. No one should be…

Yep, I just started that. I had a friend get me into the 21 day fix cups. I refuse to do the shakes, but the portion control and counting calories here while working out seems to be working as of right now :) I do the treadmill about 5-6 days week and aim to burn at least 500 calories each time. Just started the stationary…

I'm just worried that I am losing pounds and not inches, which I don't know if that is possible. I am not doing weights yet, just treadmill and stationary bike right now so I hope I am not losing muscle doing what I am doing. Thanks everyone. All the stories on this site are so inspirational. You are all doing great as…

I am addicted/obsessed with Disney. I rival the average 5/6 year old when it comes to the happiest place on earth LOL!! I have had people say I need an intervention. Yep, it's that bad. As a matter of fact, this weight loss journey began because we are planning a trip sometime next summer and I want to look cute in pics…

I am about 5'4 and am about 220 right now. Clothes aren't tight nor are they very loose right now, they are just right, but I want them to be loose and smaller LOL!!

THANK YOU!!!! LOL!! I have had so many people tell me this and I say no, muscle is just leaner than fat. A pound is a pound no matter how you look at it. There was a trick question once that asked, "What weighs more a pound of bricks or a pound of feathers?" So many people said bricks for obvious reasons but the correct…

I don't get on multiple times - Just last night because I was curious and wanted to know what weight you go by :) I won't do it again now until Sunday. I try to do it once a week :)

I started out at 228, I am now 220. I am 5'4 or so and I am in a 20. Even after losing 8 lbs, clothes feel NO different :( Can't wait to be in a smaller size.

How fun, but I have to say no only because I am HAPPILY married and have no desire to kiss anyone but my hubby LOL!!!

I am usually under my calorie goal and I have people freaking me out saying that being under my goal will cause me to gain because my body thinks it's starving, but I am NOT hungry LOL!! I won't eat when not hungry. I try to get 3 small meals and some snacks in a day. According to this site, I am under my goals I know I…

I really don't eat a ton anymore is what I should have said. I have not gained anything in years, but I am not losing it either. I am not active and that is my problem. It has taken 20 years to put on this 100 pounds. Thanks guys - I've lost weight before - I just have to get up and move.
