I have a HRM and it also counts my calories. As much as I paid for it, it better not be incorrect. Normally there is a 50 calorie difference between whats on treadmill and my watch. I do running and I do hills on the treadmill so it can be possible to burn that many calories???

I am in the same boat as you. I finally got into the 230 range and now that I have increased my exercise and strength training I am gaining weight. I stick to my diet and I rarely stray. You are not alone.

I can do the treadmill for 30 minutes and I can easily burn 600 calories so that means that I will only do cardio and no weight or circuit training???? I have been doing this for a couple of months and I feel okay thus far.

I have been good after my exercise. I feel good...I am not exhausted or anything. The only time if I am hungry is if I eat a early lunch compared to eating around 2 or 3. I am a late bloomer so I dont wake until 8 and I have my frist meal by 9 or 930. Maybe I will add in more protein to my diet.

@ Samana06....what are other alternatives. I am not a big fan of peanut butter and nuts (that includes trail mix). @ harleyquinn1504.....I was shooting for like 500 calories per large meal so breakfast lunch and dinner with two small snacks and it seems as though that isnt enough. :sad:

WOWWWWWWWWW....you look amazing...I know that it was probably long and hard but you did it. Such an inspiration to me to achieve my goals. My mouth dropped when I saw your pics. Congrats again.

Hey Elizebeth, I will help you. I have more than 50 to lose, but I will take the help and support ne way that I can get it. I will send you a friend request.

I do. I want to lose about 80 more pounds. I have a workout partner and she joined myfitness due to me. We can do it. We just have to focus on our goals and stay motivated

Thanks for the ideas. I can swim so I will have to work that back into my routine. I will try tae-bo especially since I have it, and I will look into the Richard Simmons video as well. Thanks. I will keep everyone posted

Congrats.... You look like a different person. i wish you much success as you continue.

Stay positive and it will work out for you.

I know I am soooo late...but this was funny....but everything you said was so true. And the sweaty boobs.....LMAO.

I needed this today. I am getting back on the wagon and motivation is always key.

Welcome. This site is extremely helpful and the people are sooooo supportive. Good luck.

OMG....I am on board...this will be challenging for me especially on the weekends because I dont like to cook. But I will give it a try and hopefully be successful at it. I dont eat Subway so that doesnt bother me.

Welcome, I would say that you have come to the right site for support. Even when you dont think you are doing good, you will get motivation to stay strong and that is what we as women and men lack at times during our attempts to live healthier lives. I wish you well and keep us updated on your track to being healthy and to…

You look great. I will happy when I reach that weight.... Keep it up....You are at the halfway mark....walk the rest of it down.

If you have a sports authority, they have a watch for 60 that counts calories and monitors your heart rate.

Okay I am down to 243...I think thats like 1.9 lbs lost. I wanted to be at 240 even, but I will take it. I didnt do well this weekend, so I am pushing for higher numbers at the next weigh in.

You will. I joined this site in April, and I recently got serious about tracking what I eat and entering my exercise. As you see when you log your food it tells you how much you can possible weigh in a couple of weeks....the numbers are rewarding. Stay focused and use the site for encouragement. Trust...it helps me…

You can get a device that tells you how many calories you are burning. I bought a watch from sports authority for 60.00 and it tells me my calories and my heart rate.

AWESOME!!!!

I guess since I am doing this I have to add my info so I can be added to the spreadsheet. SW: 246.7 10/25/10 Goal 1: 11/1/10 : 240.00 Goal 2: : 12/1/10 220-230 Christmas: 12/25/10: 210-220 :laugh:
