I'm doing it currently on the treadmill. Week 4 is a killer.

I eat breakfast at 8am, but 10:30 I'm starved and usually have a granola bar or a hard boiled egg. Lunch is at 12:30, and by 3 I have an apple or some other fruit then head to the gym. I'll eat dinner around 7?

NSV for 7/3: Wore some shorts I couldn't wear this time last year because I couldn't get them to button. Today, There's extra room, enough that I needed a belt!

Fitbits are an activity tracker rather than a calorie counter. For a more accurate calorie tracker, invest in a Heart Rate Monitor.

I've lost about 30 pounds all together, 12 in the last 30 days. I'm hoping to loose a total of 120. I tend to stay within 1200-1300 a day, including weekends (which may be part of your problem) I have a desk job, so I'm not very active during the day. I try to go to the gym after work 4-5 days a week, where I'll do some…

This isn't that far out there. I remember in the highschool weight room, Maxing out leg press at 500-600 lbs. Legs are beasts. Especially if you already weigh 200+ and your legs are used to supporting that sort of weight constantly.

Everyone has to start somewhere.

There are at least a dozen boxes of cookies in my work's "free to a good home" box. I've ignored them all day.

You're 5'6 and weigh 100 pounds? Sounds like an ED to me.

A routine. I tend to want to eat the same things 4-5 times a week. And by pre-logging and pre-planning I tend to manage to stay in my calories. Also, I buy lower calorie items, to save a handful here and there, because they add up. Also, having a 100 cal Fiber One bar is much easier to keep in mind, than a 180ish Luna one.…

^This. Businesses take their Facebook pages way too seriously sometimes, and see them as negative marketing. Which is true, but you should not expect them to be happy with the public criticism, which can easily be seen by hundreds of people if it goes viral fast enough. That being said. Schedules aren't changed willy…

I love mine. Got it for my birthday. Had it about a year. The website has some pretty cool statistics, and you can see your sleep and most/least active days. It has limitations. It is not a HRM and tends to overestimate your burned calories. It's more of an....activity monitor which hels you keep track of how active you've…

I'm 5'7", and was a women's size 12 at 175 pounds.

Greek yogurt, Banana, Granola bar and coffee. 5 days a week. On weekends I swap the yogurt for oatmeal and ditch the granola.

Been in since May. Down almost 30, but still have 80 to go.

Everything in moderation. Water should be your primary "liquid" throughout the day.

Yesterday, I did two Week 3 C25k workouts back to back. Ended up managing 3.7 miles in 60 mins. Great motivation to keep going.

Unfortunately, No one can provide true motivation but you. Find your deeper reason for losing weight. Explore your relationship with food. Do you eat because you're bored? Depressed? Once you figure that out, find other hobbies/activities to take the place of those feelings. I found that I eat due to both of those. So to…

Plain Greek yogurt, packet of Stevia, frozen blueberries and coffee. Pretty usual, but I swapped blueberries for my daily banana. Just for a change of pace. 210 calories.

Personally. And this is just for me. If you're an adult do whatever it is you're going to do. But I believe that drinking 3-4 days a week...is at least heavy to moderate drinking. Think about it. You go to the gym 4 days a week, you're considered a moderate gym user. Then again, I drink maybe once a month.

I try to zone out. Sometimes I'll stare at the numbers on the treadmill and count with it. Other times, I'll crank my EDM up to drown out all the doubts in my head. If I can't internally hear "but my legs hurt, you should stop" I'm likely to run longer.

I'm eating pretty well at 1200-1300 calories a day, don't feel hungry or cranky and have been steadily losing 2-3 pounds a week with 3-4 days at the gym. SW: 268 CW: 241 this morning, yay! When I get closer to my goal, 150, I'll have to up my calories in to maintenance mode, rather than lose. MFP has that equation!

My stats almost exactly! I'm so glad to see the progress you've made, and know that my own is just around the corner.

Quality for health. Quantity for weight.

Eat half of what you used to. Do so on a small salad plate. Never go back for seconds. For meals you do chose, eat small. Like a yogurt and banana for breakfast. Look up calorie counts for common ingredients. You should know how many cals are in a 1/2 cup of rice, a large egg, or 4 oz of chicken. These are staples of my…

^^ These. Plus an elastic headband for those annoying flyaways. I was so happy when my hair was finally long enough to hold back in a pony tail. (I grew it out from a pixie cut)

No matter how slow you think you're going, you're still out-lapping everyone on the couch. Weightloss is not a race. It is a long, terrifying journey that has both success and failure. The only way I'd ever term anyone 'pathetic' is if they decided to give up. I started out, about a month ago, jogging on the treadmill,…

Just hit 10lbs in June today, starting June 1. And It's not over yet! 253 to 243
