Getting help to break through this wall
I have been on my journey since April. I have lost a total of 45 lbs. But as is typical for a significant weight loss like that, I have hit the plateau...HARDCORE. I actually exercise more now than I did until I hit the plateau, but that hasn't seemed to get me through. I tried dropping my calories down again, that didn't…

Did I set up my profile correctly?
When I originally started on MFP, I had set up my profile to try to lose 2 lbs a week. I chose the sedintary selection as I sit at a desk most of the day and was working out at least 3 days a week. My goal was around 1500 calories. Once I hit a plateau after losing 40 lbs I changed the profile to 1 lb a week and I'm…

my next NSV
My profile pic is of a shirt that I bought about 4 years ago when Beckham played for Real Madrid. It never fit me but I kept it anyways and told myself that it would fit me one day. I tried it on today and it is still tight but I just know that I will be wearing it soon. I will definitely post a pic of me wearing it when I…

Slave to the Scale
I have been on my journey for about 7 weeks now. I lost weight very quickly and then I started an exercise regimen a few weeks ago and I noticed that the weight has not come off as quickly...in fact it hasn't come off at all. Now this is partly due to some lapses in my food choices but more so due to the fact that I was…

Suggestions?
I play on a vintage base ball team and we will be playing two games tomorrow for a tournament in 80 degree heat. Anyone have a good way I can estimate my calories burned w/o a HRM? Its on my list to get one but dont think I'll be able to before tomorrow morning. The games last about an hour and a half each and I play first…

Going out to dinner
So I'm sure like me all of you like to go out to dinner. Now on this journey that is not always easy. I thought I would share my experience from tonight. The temptation of ordering like I used to is still there but I found a way to still be "good". We went to Uno's tonight...mmmmm, pizza! First of all I searched their menu…

my first NSV
I have been wearing a size 38 pant for a while now and with my weight loss already I've been swimming in them. I have a couple of pairs of 36's from when I was smaller that I just tried on and they fit....with room to spare! It really is about the small victories that make this work isn't it?

Hip Hop Abs
I purchased Hip Hop Abs about 3 years ago and used it for about a week if that and haven't used it much if at all since then. I have seen the infomercials for P90X and Insanity which I would love to buy but I fear that they will suffer the same fate as the dusty HHA DVD's! With my newfound willpower and motivation and my…

My ticker pic...
I have been on MFP for over a month now and I'm hooked. Everyone has been great...I love all the inspiration. My inspiration comes from many sources, including the picture I used to customize my ticker. It is a picture of me at 26 years old at the lowest weight I have ever been in my adult life. 176 lbs. Realistically I…
