Water weight and my calorie limit
Hi all! I’m 12 days in, and I’m currently test-driving MFP’s suggested calorie intake. I’m F(49), 5’8”, and had a SW of 181. My daily intake is 1340.

Motivation: it's a choice
I have heard a lot of talk about, and have personally said "I need motivation to lose weight" and "I need an accountability partner to help me". But the motivation isn't something that appears out of thin air. It's always there. It's just a decision you choose to listen to or ignore because something else is screaming…

Does this ever end?
Well I've lost 48 kg (106 lbs) but I still feel like I need to lose at least 15 more kgs (33lbs). I recently noticed that i've been very obsessive about getting thinner at all costs, so maybe joining a community will be a good step towards getting over my never ending wish to get thinner and thinner.

Lost 60 Pounds with 40 to Go!
