I'm dusting off my wii today. It's a fun pick me up in the afternoon and will be useful on ugly weather days when I can't or won't get out to walk.

For a while, I've been getting up, puttering, playing some computer games and by then it's 10am. I've decided that I need to use that time to get a walk in, so I've switched some of that time to walking. I'm at the beginning of my journey (again, but health issues are forcing me to get serious), so the walks are not long,…

I've done both, too. I found online no more helpful than doing this. And the meetings felt like a big ad for WW products and the meetings started to feel repetitious. I've even had leaders that touted false claims about nutrition. That finally got me and I've never gone back. I've never been very successful at weight loss,…

A couple of years ago, I worked with a dietitian and after running tests, she recommended 1200 for me. I'm average height with a lot of weight to lose. I thought she was crazy. But, after getting used to it for a week or so and thinking protein for each meal, I developed a pattern of eating that let me stay pretty close to…

German heritage - We had salad served with most meals and always had to have bread and butter with the meal as well (Wonder Bread, of course). I don't do salads as much and will sub another non starchy vegetable with the meal on most nights.

Thank you all for your helpful comments. Logging is probably the hardest thing for me to do, but I know it works. I'll check out the must-reads too for a little dose of motivation each day. Thanks and good luck to all of you.

Hate the logging, but know that it is necessary. Thanks. :smiley:

Hi all: Newish to MFP. Had done it a while back, but it is clear that the weight is not going to come off on its own, so here I am. Got a FitBit to help increase my activity level. My first goal is 20 lbs by Oct 15. That's about 12 weeks, so should be doable and will help as I recover from a back issue and prepare for a…
