Hoping the next four weeks are better. I had lost 4 pounds, now am only down 1. Its just so frustrating and at my age, frustrations should be few and far between. Anyone have suggestions for this 62 year old Nana?

    Hi, and welcome to THE best site on the web! Try NOT to get frustrated, because MFP REALLY, REALLY DOES work! Just give it some time, and you WON'T be sorry!!! :smile:
    Between the easy to use food counter (which by the way is SUCH an eye opener!) and all the wonderfully supportive members, you WILL be able to lose the weight that you want to, AND, it'll "almost" be easy doing it!
    I recommend logging ALL your foods BEFORE you have them, rather than later, as it tends to lead to better food choices. (not to mention you'll know if you've got enough numbers left to have a night time snack, like I ALWAYS try to do!) Some people also like to weigh and measure some things, such as meats, rather than just estimating and possibly being WAY off!
    Also, drink lots of water, that seems to help alot too. :drinker:
