I have a lot of MFP support and all of them are great for different reasons: Kimbyknits- she introduced me to this site and keeps me motivated to stay with it. I wouldn't be here if not for her. Christine021467 - is awesome - she is my local running partner- she is an endless supporter and I love that when we race, we may…

Hi, I'm 5'9, I started this journey at 227 and I am down to 199. My goal is to lose about 28 more pounds o get down to 170. Feel free to add me as a friend if you'd like. I also have a 75 mile santa shuffle challenge going on for the month of December if you'd like to join that as well... Best of luck to you on your…

That is fantastic!! Definitely motivational and I'm sure every time you reach for weights you will giggle. What a great hubby you have!!!
-
Ha! I love it too!! I'm about half way to my goal. Feel free to add me as a friend if you'd like

I agree- give it time, you are learning to shift your diet...you may need to make slight adjustments to your calorie intake- everyone has slightly different thresholds and a difference of 50-75 calories, can mean the difference between gaining and losing - your body may think it's starving when in fact it's not.....You may…

I'd like to join - I need the accountability throughout the winter months....
-
Congratultions!! You look fantastic!!
-
take how you feel rght now, and use it as motivation. You just had a bad day, what is important, is what you do now- are you going to stay down, or keep fighting??? In my opinon, you should wipe your tears, put on some rocky music, and get back on your game. DO NOT GIVE UP ON YOURSELF, YOU ARE WORTH EVERY BATTLE, EVERY…

You have to find yourself something good to wake up to.... For me, it's my three dogs - even if I don't want to get up, I'm left with no choice.... However, I would say find something you like to do first - maybe grab a cup of coffee and head around your neighborhood just for a quick walk... Just enough to get the blood…
-
Also, if you find you're still down after trying modifications to your schedule, getting some more viatamins, and spending some time outside in the sun, you might want to try to talk to a therapist or you primary care physician....You might find that there's something else going on and it might help to chat about it -…

Yes, I feel so much better when I work out, no matter how long or short it is. But I think it's because I'm outdoors- I just love being outside. My favorite place to be was Colorado -350 days of sunshine (you might experience some rain or snow, but not the cloudy/gray for days on end that you face elsewhere). That said, if…
-
How much are your huge deficits and how often are you having them? I go through this sometimes when I run really long distances (over 10) or when I was training for my tri.... A couple of days I'd have about an excess of 400-600, but I'd address that by going over on my rest days or if I went slightly over on a smaller…
-
Yes. I think I looked ok for a long time until I saw two pictures that my mom took of me. First I had a very long cry, and then I decided to up my workout. I've since dropped about 28 pounds, but it's weird, because now I see the big me, even though some pictures prove otherwise.
-
I like doing a different run every time I run, otherwise I get bored.... I have about 8 different routes that I can take, so it's always varied for me. That said, some days are easier than others.... Sometimes when I eat too much, or not the right food, it really throws a wrench in my workout. However, keeping at it…

inches. the pounds will eventually come off too... but you are transforming your body.
-
That's an amazing!! Great job on your successes!! You have to be really kicking butt for your family not to recognize you!! Although, there is no better feedback then what they have to say!!!!
-
Wow, that is an amazing accomplishment and quite the transformation. Inspirational really. I wish you the very best on continued success and hopefully you'll post another topic of your first triathlon, so I can read it too!!! I did my first tri at 217, and I was so happy!!! Keep up the amazing work!!

Doing my regular running every morning, but will be doing a Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving morning. Gotta hit my goal of running 150 miles this month.
-
tall skinny peppermint mocha - 100 calories....Not quite as good as with all the fat and calories, but a nice treat.
-
Agreed with everything listed above (yes you may stay static for a couple of weeks - you are changing your body's compisition, yes, eat back your excerise calories).... Stay with it, you'll start loosing, and definitely take measurements - you can even add extra ones (thigh, neck, wrist, ankles etc) to what they give you…
-
I have done two half marathons, and run anywhere between 3-10 miles during the week to train.... I have found that before a race or a big run (10 miles) it is best for me to eat an english muffin with peanut butter, nothing besides water to drink... I find that that will tide me over until I am done. I do bring jelly beans…
-
Our anniversary falls in December, so we're combining the two and are treating ourself to a weekend getaway in Florida in February when it's at it's worst here weatherwise.... I can't tell you how psyched I am for that- we are doing two full days in the Disney Parks and are both running the Epcot 5K and I am running the…
-
Although i think you will have more temptations, I think losing 6 by Christmas is definitely possible (about 1 pound a week). Keep up the amazing work, you've got this!!!
-
Way to go, Hetty!!! That is an awesome feeling... I just landed in the 100's myself this past Thursday (with a 227 starting weight). I still have a ways to go and I LOVE the firm. Feel free to add me if you'd like!!!
-
Amazing job!!! You look fantastic and so very happy!!! Keep up the great work!!
-
Also, don't be nervous. You will have a lot of fun!!! Turkey Trots/Gobble Wobbles are always the best!!!
-
I agree with the eat something before your run - for me, I love an english muffin with peanut butter and I normally eat it at least 1.5-2 hours before race time, but stick with water as your beverage of choice pre-race. As far as the actual race goes - stick to a pace that you feel comfortable with- it's easy to get swept…
-
Fantastic job!
-
I am a planner, so normally I have three recipes for the week, and then stop in on days when I'm short, but my routines are: Fruits Veggies (I love salad) brown rice english muffins peanut butter milk chobani yogurts cottage cheese some ice cream sandwich bar - I know not the healthiest, but it's way better than a whole…
