  • Ok - what am I doing wrong??? I'm journaling my food, trying to stay away from processed food, hitting my calorie targets (sometimes a little under) and getting at least 30 minutes of cardio 4-6 days per week. I was hoping my first week I would drop a bunch of water weight (just the loss would be inspiring), but I have stayed the same! Oh well - at least I didn't gain weight but I feel all my hard work last week was for nothing.
    Does age really have anything to do with this - meaning as I grow older (and enter menopause) is my metabolism slowing down?
  • Yay - down a little over one pound - slow and steady wins the race! :laugh:

    Hi, I'm in. I've never posted or been a part of a group. How does it work? Do we get notices, or updates? How do we stay in touch.

    I would also love a work out buddy. I live in Hartford CT area. Anyone around the area?

    I lost 35 lbs (still wanted to lose an extra 10) a couple years ago and time and life changes brought back 10 so I'm back to needing to shed 20! Why is it so easy to put on and so hard to take off? Well, I know the answer, I just don't like it!

    I'm in too! I've used this website on and off for awhile but it's time to start being consistent. 25 lbs is about what I've gained since I started my most recent job (long shifts, sitting all day, fast food, etc.) so I can definitely use the motivation!

    Count me in. I was on weight watchers, started at 171.4, now down to 157.4 and stalling, up a lb, down a lb. Need to get my act going, holidays in September and I need to look great on the beach!
  • Just joined MFP last week after hitting a plateau with WW. A whole bushel of grapes was 0 points somehow, so no wonder the scale wouldn't budge. Just one week on MFP and the scale went down 1.5 lbs. Yay!

    I'm trying to lose just over 25 lbs, and maybe more once I get there, so I'm down to join the group. Should I just add everyone here as a friend? I don't have ANY MFP friends.

    Hi There, I started this journey last year and did great until winter. I live in Maine and it was a LONG winter! I'm ready to get started and would love to support you in your effort and you help me also.

    Hello! Add me up if you haven't already... We won't be losing weight 'cause we don't ever want to find it again. We're getting rid of it!!

    I like your idea of "getting rid of" the weight as opposed to losing it...I don't want to find it again either!!

    Count me in! I just started working with a personal trainer on weekends and zumba classes during the week.

    I need to lose about 75 lbs. total but 25 lbs. to start is good.
