Maintained Over 70 Pound Loss! -- Before/During
Hey all! I haven't posted one of these in a while. Hoping that someone can find some encouragement from my before/during photos! I started back in January of 2012 at over 300 pounds. I set my goal to lose 2 pounds per week, and counted calories (at least I thought I was). I was pretty bad at weighing food and being…

70 pounds down!
Hey all! I have been beating myself up the last few months because I haven't lost as much this year as I did last year, so I decided to post some updated before/during photos. When I look at these, I am overwhelmed with inspiration, pride and happiness. I never thought that I could be someone who could successfully lose…

Who will diagnose PCOS?
Hey all! I am fairly certain that I have PCOS since I have most of the symptoms (hair in places it shouldn't be, trouble losing weight, irregular cycles, etc...). I am just wondering who I need to see to CONFIRM my suspicions. Should I go to my primary care physician? Endo? Gyno? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!…

Question about Reset
Hello! I have been researching EM2WL for quite some time. I am on month 6 of this plateau and really think (and hope!) that EM2WL will be the answer. After using the Scooby calculator I found that my BMR is 1946 and my TDEE is 2675. I would say that I have been eating about 1750 calories per day for the last 6 months…

Calling all formerly/currently obese runners!
I have been wanting to try running/jogging as a main source of cardio activity. Anyone start running in the 250's or 260's? Is it safe to start jogging when you're still considered "obese"? ***Edit: Sorry, this should have gone to the fitness board. :tongue:

One year on MFP!
Hey everyone! I started MFP in January of 2012. I'm down almost 55 lbs! Feel free to add me!
-
Proud but disappointed.
"They" say the more weight you have to lose, the faster it comes off. This isn't the case with me. I have been logging consistently for almost one year and exercising consistently for a good chunk of it - but have only lost 50 pounds. While I am very proud of myself and what I have accomplished, I feel that I should have…

High heart rate and burning fat vs. muscle
Someone told me that if your heart rate is above a certain point, you will burn muscle instead of fat. Is this true? And if so, is it true for someone who has a lot of weight to lose?

Slow and steady wins the race?
Hey all - I have been using MFP since January of this year and lost about 40 pounds. Most of that time I had not been working out at all, just experimenting with calories. I realized that my loss in a 7 month period isn't too astonishing...so I joined a local gym and have been going 3-4 times per week. I am hoping that…

Weekends
I have found myself really struggling on weekends. It begins on Friday at work when my team all goes out to lunch together (usually somewhere very unhealthy). By the end of that I am probably almost at my calorie limit. The same night my boyfriend and I do a date night which usually consists of dinner and a movie, or vice…

Around 20 lbs down! Not a lot, but...

what triggered my weight loss?
When I first started MFP in January the weight loss was slow going. I only lost 5 pounds through january and february. now, the weight is just falling off (we're talking a pound a day for the last week) and i'm not even exercising! (which I was in January and February) but I AM counting calories. I'm so confused!

When to work out?
I always hear that working out right when you wake up is best, but I am so groggy and grumpy I can't even get into it. I love working out right after work (I work a swing shift so I get home around 10pm) to release stress from the day. I go to bed at around midnight every night. Should I switch to working out when I wake…
