    I'm not new to the site but have not posted to the message board. Maybe this will be helpful so bring it on!

    I'm older: a serious ocean kayaker, occasionally go to the gym, have a low BMI and can't figure out how many calories I need to lose fat to fit into my clothing from last year(s). Trainers told me that I need to raise calories and when I did, I gained weight but kept the same inches all around me. When I drop calories to the MFP recommendation: I stay the same "too-big-for-my-clothes" forever! If I believed what this web site tells me, I'd have reached my goal months ago! 1 size down is all I'm asking for!
    I'm stuck and frustrated.
    Going to reduce calories and have a small dinner as I beef up my physical activities (when I can schedule it). That worked in the past without MFP...Pardon my venting.... it's not the usual from me....

    This site is wonderful! I have been on it since February and I've lost 22lbs (and counting). I couldn't have done it without all the support from the wonderful friends I've met. Please feel free to add me (anyone of you)! Congrats on joining! It's the first step to a new lifestyle! :)

    Please add me. I just came back after a two months of being pregnant. Need to lose that 15 pounds and try again next year when I'm healthy.

    I could use and give tons of support and motivation!!

    Hello, Today is Day 1. I've done them all. Nutrisystem, weight watchers, etc. I lost 30lbs on weight watchers a few years ago, but have put about 20 back on. This time I just can't seem to get motivated so trying this out!

    Hi Everyone!


    I am still relatively new to the site, and I would love some more motivation. I joined a weight loss challenge at work set up similarly to the Biggest Loser.

    I am the heaviest person in the competition, and right now am in the bottom 2.

    I would love to win this thing, not only to show my own stregth, but also to give my 7 year old the summer she deserves.

    I was recently diagnosed a tyoe 2 diabetic at only 23. It is time to get on with the program!

    Thanks.
