Almost 30 pounds down. Starting to feel like a success.
It's been about 4 months (since I started really buckling down once and for all after trying on and off for a year) and I am 28lbs down. I decided to share my pics. I am not sure why I look so unhappy after, I am not, really! haha

Weight loss halt getting me discouraged.
I have lost about 18lbs total since a few months ago, 2 month I believe and was feeling awesome and confident but despite sticking to my diet (1200 calories) and excising 4 days a week minimum the scale has not moved in 10 days now. Maybe I was just spoiled with the initial 2lbs a week loss but now it is at no loss in over…

Conflicting calories in lentils
Every google search I do tells me lentils, brown, cooked are about 300 calories per cup but every result here (I tried like 6) gives me 460 for 2 cups. o.O I have no idea what to go with. I normally go for the higher estimate but I recently quit losing weight from eating too little and working out too much (I swear!) so I…

On the road to success
I know I have a ways to go before success but I am finally seeing a noticeable difference! Feels like success to me. :) *I have only lost like 12lbs since this photo was taken but I suspect I have also gained muscle because I have lost 12lbs before and it didn't look as noticeable.

Just want to make sure I am eating enough/not too much
Hey guys for about a week I have been doing 30-40 miles a day on my fitness bike. Today I took in 2310 in food and burned 1326 with exercise. I can't help feeling like I am eating way too much but I mean, I guess if I bike 40 miles that is a normal amount? MFP says I will lose 10lbs in 5 weeks, that is a good sustainable…

What to put for my soup.
I know this is nitpicky but I want to make sure I get enough calories with all my working out. The thing is I made 15 bean soup like 4 days ago in my crock pot and have reheated it like 3 times since then, well each time I have to add a bunch of water and at this point it is very much broth and much less beans so I know it…

My workout. What's yours?
So I jogged 10 miles yesterday and am at 5 so far today. I love cardio. I just can't get into and maintain the circuit training at this point. Maybe once I lose my extra weight and cardio isn't enough but for now I am loving this. What are you guys doing to lose today? :)

Eating more when working out?
So today I ate a bit too much pasta, er way too much. I am on a poor person's diet and was starved but I decided to put some extra miles in and power walked 5 miles. (using leslie sansone's videos with the weights) and did about 40 minutes of yoga. So I burned quite a bit. Now, MFP is telling me I should eat more but that…

Starting insanity tomorrow
I am going to start tomorrow on insanity. (I will just change my day off as I am too excited to wait until Monday) I am intimidated as I am OUT OF SHAPE. I am not too overweight. 5"6 159. (maybe 30lbs over?) but I also have like 0 muscle right now so it scares me like mad. I saw some women bigger than me complete it more…

Fitness noob with a question.
I have been being active lately, today I walked 8 miles, and biked 6 miles but I consumed 1,700 calories, it was all healthy fruits and veggies, some lentils. But is that a normal amount to consume for my activity level!? If I want to lose. MFP says I still have excess calories, by over 400 and I logged everything but I…

Excited after only losing 4lbs.
I know it is silly but I am already getting pumped after osing only 4lbs. haha I guess that's because this is the first week I have been tracking all week and being active and just starting it feels nice. Also, I am loving hitting up the success section when I feel like stuffing my sad fat face. eeheehee. I love this site.…

Changing my diet. Want feedback.
I'd prefer non-negative feedback. haha So, I have been vegan 8 years and NORMALLY that'd keep a person thinnish but I LOVE(D) my beers, a lot. haha So I am now at 5"6 160lbs, which is the highest ever for me. I recently decided to "kick-start" my weight loss. I am on a really low calorie diet but before I even mention the…
