    Welcome and best of luck.

    I am on the last 2 days of my 16th Week of conistant use of the site. I did start in early Sept for two weeks and just logged my food to get in the hang of the process. Then buckeled down and started 16 wks ago. It takes time commitments and the same to taking the time to plan meals and take lunches to work.. but so far it's working and I have almost hit my 1st goal, 1lb to go. My next goal is 40lbs, as I am setting my goals in increments.

    Kudo's for doing this before you hit 50! :flowerforyou:

    Hello new to website...mostly track calories and exercise on my phone...jumped on line because I'm feeling discouraged :/ was hoping to find some motivation...I've been working out 6 days a week and sticking to my daily calorie allowance,...the first week i lost 3 lbs...barely exercised...then kicked up the workouts and i gained the 3 lbs back and have fluctuated by a lb up a lb down since then...so I'm basically back to where I started even though I'm working my butt off...just not literally...I don't know what I'm doing wrong but I'm hoping this website will help me figure it out...

    Hi Everyone!

    New to this as well, like a lot of people I've found it difficult to eat healthy and exercise on my own ground rules.
    i'm just looking for some guidance and motivation to get back to my previous weight and then maintain it. So any tips, hints or great recipes please share! =)

    Have a great day all!

    Just a thought...but have you increased your water intake? Maybe you need to drink more water. I know in the past it has always helped me when I hit a plateau...stay encouraged, you are already doing great with exercising 6 days a week...if you kick up your exercise routine, keep in mind you are working those muscles hard and they can become swollen and inflamed...maybe you need to take that into consideration and that could be a source of some increased weight...even more reasom to watch sodium and increase water...Good Luck! Hope you can find the answers and encouragement you are looking for!

    I am on day 16, I haven't done much with social part to this site yet. I have the app for my phone it makes it so easy to count calories. Crazy thing is I used to eat more than I should for a whole day in 1 meal. I recently quit smoking in July 2011, and this is so much harder.
