good for you!! lately ive been just maintaining which is totally fine. Im going to maintain through thanksgiving and then start the regimen back up again. it always spurs a good weight loss i find.

good luck!

159.0 this morning!!!!! down .8lbs lol.. 5lbs until my 1st mini goal! ( ihave a million little goal it makes me feel less defeated and makes it seem easier to achieve)

i love the elliptical!! when i lived home i used it allll the time! such a good workout and super low impact!

yeah i have. i havent really changed up my eating. my calorie intake is perfectly acceptable i eat around 1440-1600 NOT including what i burn if i didnt factor in the 500-800 burnt its like 2200-2400. which seems like a lot but isnt when given my burn rate.

ugh i hear ya - ive been in that mode before too. i usually tend not to excersise when im not eating. the only sucky thing about it that i find is when i dont eat i gain weight when i do eventually start eating regularly. hopefully you are able to maintain it! well its inevitable youll lose some muscle mass along with fat def. start strengthing!!

its only been 5 days and ive lost another pound. amazing what changing up your workouts does. 161 YAYAY!!

down another- 162

aamnasultan- possibly... or you might just need to spice up the excersise- switch it up a bit. dont eat lower than 1200. whats your weigh and stats? you could be already at a healthy weight and just losing slow- that ususlly happens if you are already within the right weight range for your height/age/body type.

multiply youre goal weight by 12 and eat that its a pretty rough estimate and it should be on par if youre goal weight is a reasonable one. obv. if youre under 5'0 its not very accurate though- instead of walking try spurts of jogging or walking with weights...

lol. yeah it is a bit crazy huh?

this morning my weight was 163.6. so as of now im hitting my targets each week :)

just bought a yoga mat and some dvds- cardio pilates is one of them. a total butt kicker for sure!!

id love to buddy up. i am also an emotional eater. (which im starting to get under control now that i know) im 23 5'5 and need to lose about 30lbs my current weight is 165.4. so its not ridiculous. i just hope to lose it by the end of may which is very reasonable.

i am the same way with logging cals. as long as im diligent i dont have a problem.

i usually make a menus for each day the night before, and plan dinners out for the week, i find it makes everything a lot easier- it also allows me to make sure im getting adequate fruits/veggies/nutrients that i need.

so its been a little while... 164 is the new weight!!

so as of this morning i am down 1lb . 165.2

also what do you guys eat? i need some more variation in my diet.

you and me both this is prob. the largest ive really been in my life. i used to be pretty slender esp. when i danced. now ill be happy with even a loss of a lb a week. 1500's not bad if youre not being to active its prob. ok to cut down 100-200 cals. but dont do 984 lol way too low. sure youll lose weight but it will mess up what you have going and prob. spur a binge which is totally counter productive

i know i love quinoa!! i do get adequate grains and fiber and all that jazz - it would be bad if i did it on the regular , every once in a while its not bad at all. i asked my doctor this morning when i had my physical and she said it wasnt a problem- you shouldnt force it if you arent hungry and its not like i make a habit of it just one of those full days

when i was dancing i had a deficit of 1500 cals on most days-granted i ate prob. about a billion calories though lol. but  i was super in shape. i think i might join an aerobics class its such a good form of excersise tones everything

well yesterday my meals were

breakfast: coffee and a banana

Snack: yogurt and melon,  tea

Lunch: chicken, pasta salad with olive oil raw tomatoes, peppers, and onions

Snack: apple, and a few pita chips with hummus

Dinner: steak, salad, and broccoli

Snack: 1 cup milk and a carnation breakfast

it ended up being 1222 with like a 700 calories burn but i was so full- so i didnt force anything down a day or  2 like that wont do any harm.

i usually try to get a few fruits in, veggies, dairy, and various forms of protein whether its from meat, veggie burgers, tofu etc. i try to balance things out.

prynzcessd: i guess maybe every saturday/sunday- whatever works for you!

thats a good excersise regimen. but i dont know how you manage to eat that little if youre active!! id pass out lol. i only eat that if im sitting around the house all day doing nothing lol.

also good for you!! im glad our weights our similar it makes it pretty easy to stay motivated!! good luck too. it sounds like youre doing good!

thanks zoey! i will try it im a total tea lover.although lately ive been drinking coffee. lol munchkins will totally get you i used to eat those all the time also lol.

good luck to you as well!!

yes men do lose a lot quicker than woman b/c they naturally have more muscle mass and testosterone- and it cant totally be demoralizing - you should talk to her though - she should understand the above reasons.

well how much weight have you lost? if its a great deal you are going to def. have some sag but if its only say 25- 30 lbs it should bounce back.
