I find I do better in the mornings, as a mother if I don't get it in I am likely to have my schedule rearranged later in the day. It also gives me a boost of energy and gets my day started off right! As far as the"best" time, Dr. Oz stated on his show that in the morning is the best time for fat burning. Your body is not…

I thought you looked great in your before picture...but girl, way to go, you look stunning!!! Thanks for posting the pics, and sharing your story. It is inspiring :)

I agree with Melanie... You are not evil. None of us are. Just because they give birth to us does not give them mother of the year rights. I don't hate my mom, there are many things I remember about how she used to be that I love, but that person has become so bitter and nasty that I just choose not to be a part of it. I…

I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my girl, Keisha on Easter Sunday. It was very sudden, she was a healthy and strong five year old one minute and the next minute she was having an intense seisure, she never came out of it. The vet stayed with her the entire weekend and she peacefully passed Sunday afternoon. The vet is…

I understand your frustration with the logging daily. I don't think the "logging" is as important as the "doing". If you are conscious about what you are eating and exercising daily then don't be so hard on yourself. Some people really need to log everything to keep them in check. If you are able to maintain (stay within…

Congratulations Rachel!!! That is amazing and you look fantastic! I TOTALLY AGREE with taking pictures to show your progress, and highly recommend it, no matter how much or how little weight you are trying to lose. Our bodies transform in so many ways and it is very difficult at times for us to grasp the reality of that.…

Congratulations!!!!! As I have overcome my nicotene habit I know how incredibly difficult that must have been. I quit when I joine WW a few years ago and it darn near kicked my butt, but I feel so much better. My doctor made me feel even better when he said a slightly overweight non-smoker is healthier than a thin, trim,…

ME too! Started with Turbo Jam that I borrowed from a friend, LOVED IT! Tried ChaLean extreme, LOVED IT! Wondering why the #3!! I didn't try it sooner. So much fun, and the time just flies by, I am like, really - it has already been 30 minutes? I don't want to stop yet LOL!

Looking at your before and after I would have to say you look great! I am also in between so I understand how difficult it is to see pics, it also upsets me to see myself. So, what I do is pull up my before pics at my highest weight and it reminds me that I am better than I was. I know it is hard, but keep in mind that…

I am no expert by any means but have always read, heard, seen, been told, etc... that 1200 is a minimum and should not be decreased unless under strict health care supervision. Your body requires calories just to breath while you sleep. Your body also requires calories for proper digestion. If you are not consuming enough…

yeah, we have got to be very careful with "health selections" at the ff joints...have you ever stopped and read the nutrition facts hanging on the wall at Wendys? the salads range from around 450 to over 700 calories?!?!? I like the grilled chicken wrap, about 260 calories and the Ultimate Chicken Grill - about 360 cal. -…

Fresh fruit (prepare the night before if needed). I also love Greek yogurt with milled flaxseed and granola. Very filling.

I would think that it was great that you were making a healthy decision. Anyone shallow enough to think horrible things about someone attempting to change isn't anyone I would worry about anyhow! I would go for it, myself, without worry of what others might be thinking. Just imagine yourself after you meet your first goal,…

Don't take in the negativity...I know, easier said than done! But seriously, if you need a positive friend, add me! I am only here to encourage others, not tear them down to make myself feel better! :flowerforyou:

What motivates me is seeing other people, some who started out with goals far larger than mine, succeed. I can be my own worst enemy by telling myself "I will NEVER be THAT thin". But to see others do it, it really reinforces that "I CAN DO THIS". I am new to MFP, but did WW online, and I can tell you that having a network…
-
I do the same as rhodenizer...I log what I am going to eat and my exercise then I print out my log and it really helps me stick with it, I can still make adjustments if plans change or I make substitutions. Make sure you hit the green bar (when you are finished entering all of your food and exercise logs) at the end of the…

First, I would like to say, wow! Congrats, you have some very SEXY legs, I hope to look like that soon! I also like the 1st pair of shoes. So glad that dress was not donated, it was meant for you! It is a timeless classic and I am sure you will have many occassions to enjoy for years to come. Woohoo! Good for you :)

Are you taking in enough calories? especially on days that you are active, you need to take in all the calories - remembering that the MFP daily allowance already equates the calorie defecit. I would start with re-evaluating what you are eating daily - making sure you are consuming enough to keep your body burning, rather…

oops...lets try this again... I couldn't agree more. I was on WW for a few years and the PP just did not work for me. I could not get throught my platuea no matter what I tried so I stopped tracking and ended up gaining 20 of my loss back UGGHHHH! I love MFP. Sorry to the original poster, I have no clue what to tell you.…

I am in the same boat! My hubby was very supportive when I joined WW three years ago, but when it came to eating the same meals as me (I went pretty clean) it was difficult for him. He is also overweight and although he eats somewhat healthy, I always feel like I am having to cook three different meals (one for me, one for…

It can be confusing, but yes, I personally try to take in extra on the days that I workout. If I am just crusing along through a day at normal activity, my body does not require the extra energy, but I do make sure I reach my goal for that day (my body needs it just to function). But on days that I am pushing myself with…

I struggled with this too until someone used this analogy: Think of your body as a well maintained vehicle, when you use the fuel you have to replenish it. Your body needs fuel to burn fuel. The MFP equation already has the amount of calories for weight loss deducted. If you let your fuel level get too low, your body will…

Don't let that scale get you down. Be sure to measure occassionally to see the loss that mean old scale likes to hide. Congratulations on your 1 lb. loss, I understand your frustration but as I have to remind myself, slow and steady wins the race! So proud of ya Tracey! Keep up the great work. I am in the 30 Day Shred…

YOU LOOK AMAZING! This was just what I needed to see today, a success story. Your beginning and ending weights are very similar to mine, although I am only 5' 4" and have a heavier frame, it is nice to see that as a reminder that I can do this, it is attainable! SUPER EXCITED FOR YOU ~ you are stunning, be proud of all of…

My very first CD purchase was Aerosmith's Greatist Hits and Eagles Greatest Hits - purchased at the same time. :)
