Hello fellow Atheists! I'm Erica, 25 (26 in June), VA- born and raised, queer, happily monogamous with a great girl! I am here to get motivated without god! I want to lose 130lbs. Feel free to add me as a friend!

Feel free to add me, any one! Finishing my 3rd year- English Major, Environmental Science Minor.

Fitbit is really helping me :)

Hi! Man do I know that feeling.... It seems like every time I start out really great I get discouraged really fast. I've been back on for 8 days now. One thing that is really helping me is a Fitbit! It keeps me accountable, adjusts my allowed calories based on my movements, and gives me small daily goals that are easy to…

I don't log my water. I always get over my 8 8oz glasses :) I always forget.

Thank you guys! I feel better now :)

Anyone can add me! I am on everyday :) Love the support on here!

I recently got a Jillian Michaels DVD, $10 a walmart. But these podcasts are free for the C25K program. http://www.c25k.com/podcasts.htm I also went to Aldi last night and got some wrist/ankle and walking weights for $10. Plus, I got an exercise ball for $7.99. You also could hit up craigslist or thrift stores for second…

Oh and Chick-fil-a has good chicken wraps. Leave off the dressing though.

If I eat fast food I stick with Chipotle or Panera Bread. Although, we all have those days where we just can't say no.

I use the xbox but I do have both. There is this great game for xbox that is like a real personal trainer. When I use it the game is live action and the trainer encourages me: "You're almost to your personal best", "knees higher" "great correction" etc.. It uses your fitness levels and goals to construct a 4 week program…

MFP uses BMR to calculate calories. You should always eat back these calories. TDEE is calculated with your exercise so do not eat back your calories.

Just walk!! That's what I do. I also use my xbox Kinect... if I can't manage it I try and try the next day etc. I know one day I will get where I want to be! Welcome!

My bearded dragon's name is Norbert :)

I am 24 and have 150 to lose! We can do it!

Welcome! I have 150 to lose!

Gus Gus like from Cinderella the fat little mouse!

I've read the best way to measure weight loss when you are eating TDEE is to do actual measurements. Some say you will see it there first since you won't be losing a lot of muscle mass.

Have you considered starting a garden? I know some people do that where they supplement the expensive stuff they need for their families in the garden. Plus, it burns calories and can be a family activity!

I am at 299 hoping for my ultimate goal of 150!

I decided to switch to my TDEE as well. I am still figuring out the specifics so that link is awesome!

Nuts, seeds, fruits and veggies. Or if you need something low cal but still feel like your snacking on something bad (like me lol) I shop at Aldi and they have the Fit and Active brand. Great stuff, delish, low cal!

Hey! I live in Culpeper, VA but work and go to school (NOVA) in Manassas, VA. Looking for some support. Got 150 pounds to lose!

Me too! I read a lot of articles while I'm at work.

24 and hoping to lose 150!

If what you are eating doesn't seem like something you can do for the. rest. of. your. life- stop. Because eventually, you will fall off that wagon if you can't support yourself. I tried doing the vegetarian thing... It didn't work for me. I found myself depriving myself. It's not what you need to do. You have to learn…
