please help....I've back slid and feel horrible!
Looking for those who've had to restart a weightloss journey. Last summer, I was settled at my 160 goal at 163. I decided I was happiest there and honestly, had begun to look a little bean pole-ish after seeing myself in photos (6'00" and 163 was the smallest I'd ever been in my adult life). This was quite the journey from…

Body fat percentage
So.....due to weight lifting and cardio 6 days a week, and since I am about 18 lbs from my goal weight, I've decided to begin to also track my body fat percentage instead of just my weight loss. Is anyone else doing this? Particularly females? Those of you who have tracked your % for a while, Do you have pics to share of…

Casein protein for women building muscle
Good evening! Have any of you ladies that have worked on building strength and muscle used casein protein? And if so, suggestions on brand? My husband recently suggested I take a scoop of casein before bed on my weightlifting days to help restore the proteins while I sleep. Thoughts???

Just hit 81 lbs lost and want to maintain/build muscle
Good morning. I hit a weight of 168.4 this weekend. I originally had a goal of 160 lbs but I think I am "skinny" enough. I've been weight lifting, however, I think that due to my small calorie intake, I'm not making the "gains" of weightlifting that most see. Will setting my calories up to maintain my weight help me see…

One year into my life change, 82 lbs lost
I started my journey at 6'00" tall 250 lbs and over 42 % body fat. As of Saturday, I am 168,4 lbs and 24.8 % body fat! I wasn't able to upload pictures to my post, but see my profile picture for before (right) and after (left) pictures. My only secret was consistency, logging foods and an exercise routine 3-5 days a week.…

6'00" ladies...what's your goal weight?
any tall ladies want to share their goal weight? I began this in October at 250 and I currently weigh 183. I'm having a lot of friends and family tell me that it's enough and I shouldn't lose anymore but my goal is 160. Should I reevaluate?

73 lbs down still want to lose 17 lbs and need motivation
good evening! I've been on this journey since October and I believe I've done well going from 250-177 lbs. however I have not lost at all during July! These last lbs are the most difficult to lose! I've managed to get out of the "overweight" category when I reached the 170s but I would really like to see the 160s so I'm…

73 lbs down! Almost there!
i started in October 2014 at 250 lbs and over 40% body fat. It's now July and I'm at 177 and 26% body fat. 17 lbs from my final goal. I'm averaging 1.9 lbs which always seemed slow but this is so much easier than trendy crash diets. The loss is definitely more difficult now, but my drive is greater and I love working out,…

approaching my goal, but I really need motivation in order to finish!
I started this journey as 250 lbs in October, and now I'm 188. Sounds like a good loss, I know, but here we are almost in June and I can't seem to lose these last pounds! I'm 6'0'' and my goal is the 160s. Is that out of reach? It seems like the month of May, I keep bouncing around. One day I'm 188, the next 191, by the…

suggestions for sagging skin after weight loss?
Hi! I've went from 250 to about 195 since the beginning of October. I feel great and I want to say I look better but everything is sagging. I know it takes time, but have any of you had any success with improving the process of firming your skin after losing this much weight? Mostly in my arms, legs, and tummy. I bought…

Fiber???
So, I my weight loss has hit a plateau the last few weeks and I was reviewing my logs to see where I may be going wrong. I reviewed my daily nutrition and I have been falling EXTREMELY short on fiber. But I'm looking through things I have that have fiber and they are so high in carbs or sugar I just know it'll make me go…

Anyone log an hour of Zumba?
Is anyone doing Zumba? I just started about twice a week. While I feel like I am getting a good workout, I don't feel like it is the over 800 calories in the 60 minutes of Zumba that MFP logs it as. To avoid going over, I don't eat all those calories back. How much do you all truly think you burn in an hour of Zumba?

Over 2 wks plateau???
Ok, I understand that plateaus should be an expected part of weight loss but for two and a half weeks? I was 30 lbs down in over three months and while the loss wasn't rapid, it was consistent. Three days a week in the gym, cutting down sodium, etc. when I've hit a plateau in the past it usually lasts a week or so, I drop…

But I'm not seeing any difference in December and January. Is this…
