Thank you all for the great suggestions! I am going to try some of these out. That's true, but there are some trigger foods that I know I'm not ready to have sitting around at home (ice cream being one, chips being another). In the past, one or two bad binges will cause me to get very frustrated and abandon my healthy…

To solve this if you're using an Aria, if you use trendweight.com instead of Libra, there's a setting that says to only use your first weigh-in of the day. The multiple entries will still show up on MFP and Fitbit (unless you manually delete them), but the trendweight.com graph will only show your first entry for a given…

Really amazing job. You look so young and happy after losing that amount of weight. Your story is very motivational. I recently started a similar journey (started around 297, and trying to get to ultimately get to around 185). Your story is very reassuring. Thank you for sharing and congratulations on your success.

I'm 34 and started a few months ago. I would welcome any friend invites for folks so that we can motivate each other.

Thanks. I checked this weekend, and the elliptical was saying I covered around 4.1 miles in one hour.

What are you trying to say?

Thanks. I haven't paid attention to the distance, but will be sure to note it and include it in this thread when I get to the gym on Friday of this week.

Hey all, I'm 34 and just recently started. Feel free to add me!

This is great - congrats! I'm starting off around where you were (283 last week). A few questions, if you don't mind: How many calories were you eating on a day to day basis? How tall are you? What kind of light exercise were you doing? Walking? Elliptical? Weights? Thanks again!

Thanks for the suggestion. I have a Fitbit Aria scale, so it automatically syncs to MFP. Maybe I'll just disable the auto-sync and do it manually once a week.

Thanks! Hadn't seen that before.

I actually prefer to weigh daily for the same reasons as the OP. One minor issue that I noticed with MFP is that if you fluctuate a lot (e.g. lose 1 pound, gain 1 pound, lose 1 pound, gain 1 pound) over the course of the week, MFP just keeps saying you lost 1lb every time on your timeline (even though your net loss is…

Hey all. I'm 34 years old and live in the SF Bay Area. I currently weigh 283. I've lost about 12 pounds already, but I'm looking to re-dedicate myself to logging everything and being healthy. I'm trying to lose about 100 more lbs. I would welcome any friend requests from folks that are starting their journey or have…

Thanks. This is helpful to consider.

Thanks all for the posts. Yes, I think one of the problems may have been that I've been taking my vitamins with breakfast, which is typically just a bowl of rolled oatmeal. I talked to my doc about it and he suggested I take it with some fat content. Going forward, I will try either adding some walnuts to breakfast or take…

Yes, the doctor's voicemail and the prescription both said I am supposed to take 50,000 IU per week (a single 50,000 IU capsule once a week). Not 50,000 IU per day for 10 weeks.
