Ok I read about half the comments so sorry if this was mentioned... But what is your goal loss set to? If its at 2 pounds a week....then it has 1000 calorie DEFICIT worked in! So even if you go over your goal by the whole thousand calories...guess what? Not over! Just one day gone. No loss no gain. No big deal! And if your…

I'm sorry in my other response I assumed you really had 80 pounds to go. Being closer to a healthy weight, it probably is just muscle and don't worry if you are losing inches. You're doing good!

Well at 5'6" you have got to change your goal weight. 98 pounds is death. I doubt you should weigh less than 125. And being closer to a healthy weight it's going to be harder and slower to lose than at first. M

Exercise and a calorie deficit will lead to weight loss. Unless you are doing some major weight training, there will not be significant muscle gain in 2 months. I would say if you are estimating any caloric values of what you eat, you are underestimating for sure. Forgetting to count an Oreo or tablespoon of oil per day…

Starvation mode exists, but not in the sense that it is used so often on this site. Eat less calories than your body uses to function, and you will lose weight. Eat WAY less calories than your body needs on a daily basis and you will lose more weight. However if you eat under 1000 calories (roughly-depending on age, size,…

I would NEVER have rum in a diet coke. Jack Daniels...for sure. Oh and Kaluha in my diet dr pepper. I gotta add...YOU - ZERO pounds lost...ME - 70

Awesome!! You are so cute!! Congratulations!

If I went by how I feel, it would be that amazing feeling I get when I am on the sofa with a big bag of Jelly Bellies in my lap. Its funny how an enemy to one person is motivation to another. :)

I weigh every time I go in my bathroom. LOL I actually tap the scale in the middle of the night so I can see without turning on the light and then am tempted to weigh myself even then. I can weigh as much as 5 pounds more after dinner...and always weigh 2-5 pounds less in the morning. I have been an obsessive compulsive…

Added help??? Are you kidding me? I have more difficulty losing weight than I ever would have had with a whole stomach. It streched right out and I can eat what any normal person can...however I lost the ability to absorb the needed nutrients and minerals needed to keep my system healthy. Try losing weight with the extreme…

Awesome!! And I love that you appreciate your wife's support...so sweet!

I love it!!

I had gastric bypass in 2003. Good intentions...psych eval...lose a few pounds first...follow all the rules....blah blah blah. Lost 109 pounds. Felt good. Forgot what I went through. Ate. Ate. Ate. Gained 55 back and sat there for a few years. Now I am doing it the right way....mind over matter, watching my diet and…

I find that gap (gapfit line) is even cheaper than target if you use a coupon...or wait for a sale. Right now it's 30% off everything online. Code is on the website. :) Athleta is more expensive than both.

I had a lot of trouble staying asleep...falling asleep...ok sleeping in general. It was much worse before I began eating healthier...but the nights I sleep really well...like fall asleep within a half hour and stay asleep 7-8 hours....those nights follow a day with at least an hour workout....more like 70 minutes plus of a…

In all honesty my weight loss was more consistent and faster during football season when every Sunday was a free day. The way I figured was every day was a free day and I stayed fat. With only one free day I was 85% better off. Lol Looking forward to see what football season does for me this time around. :) As a side…

You are doing so good! I was looking for motivation...in the same place as you...about 2/3 of the way and kinda stuck...not wanting to give up but not feeling motivated to try as hard. Look at each crappy day...or week...or even month as just a pause. Never the end. Sometimes a break from working so hard can give us the…

Awesome NSV!! And I get it...I had gastric bypass and gained half my 110 pound loss back. When I worked hard at diet and exercise and got below my lowest after-surgery-weight, I was so proud. You got it figured out and you are gonna be at your goal before you know it! Good job!!

Same here!

If you have a specific shoe that you love and works great for you, just order them online. As I lost weight my feet have changed and I had to get re-assessed...:)...then I just went to the local high end shoes store and got fitted and tried them all on till I found a new kind/style I love. Reordered those online as I wore…

Food made me happy. I love it. I still love it...all of it. I hate sweat and exercise...and anything requiring physical effort to be in pain. I still love food and hate exercise but I call it by other names. Awesome back road bike rides are fun. Hiking to the waterfall is fun. Exercise...not fun. Lol And my love of food…

I just got to 310... All my friends keep asking if I am excited to get to 365 but I can't do it. We leave for Italy on Wednesday and I have been working my butt off (literally) to have an awesome trip. I won't ruin it by trying to count calories over there! Not to mention I won't have data on my phone and its kinda hard to…

I have trouble feeling hungry all the time if I avoid bread. I do better sticking to my calorie limit when I include some sort of bread in my daily diet. So for me...I Lose better with it. :)

Another vote for endomondo! I love it for everything...biking walking, etc.

Just change the portion size to what you think you ate. If I know I will finish something later, I leave it in there. Who cares if I ate half for lunch and half for supper and the whole thing is on my lunch menu? :)

Ok so I posted back on page one...and just read through all the responses. Here is what I noticed...the only supporters of surgery with the exception of one man, (actually, his wife) RECENTLY had surgery. I could have missed someone....but seriously come back in 10 years and tell us what you think. I has gastric bypass 9…

I don't mean to be discouraging...but I have loose skin on my arms and the tummy apron mess...I was over 320 pounds for 10 years though. Now at 200 I can say the skin is much better deflated than loaded with fat. I have noticed it is pulling up ever so slightly with continued weight loss...so mayb e after two years it will…

I totally agree...that's why my ticker and before/after photos are only from my high weight before I started MFP...the surgery loss was not through my effort. It was despite my lack of effort. Lol

I did both. I say surgery is the wrong way. I was overweight since I was 18...at 29 and 323 pounds I had gastric bypass. Out-ate it. Seriously never learned a thing...lost 109 pounds because I couldn't eat...and when I could eat a Big Mac again, I was proud!?!?! Finally after gaining back 55 and sitting there for a few…

It depends on the person...and your bones. I have been wearing my ring on my middle finger for a couple months and finally went to my right hand middle finger...when I tried on the sizer things at the jeweler we decided I could have it done now even with 30 pounds left to lose because the 6.5 just fits over my knuckle and…
