I am older and therefore have a slower metabolism than most. I began by limiting my calories according to MFP standards. I initially cut out all red meat, all sugar, caffeine and soda. BIG CUTS, but I went cold turkey and after a week it wasn't all that hard. I started a daily work out program - treadmill and strength -…

I agree with what people have said. I find that a quick increase in calories can be PB protein bars, hummus w/veggies, or, if you can, bring a protein drink. The key is really planning ahead. Get the bulk of your calories in the morning and work down. That way you aren't coming up as short. Under eating can really mess…

Sadly, people have no filters any more and feel like they can make those comments without recourse. SO IGNORANT!! If you get the pregnant comment again, asked SO surprised and excited and say, "I'm PREGNANT???"

You are doing great and when you drop under that 200lb mark, you will go crazy!! Keep going with it! It's working!!! You look 20 years younger!!

I totally get where you're coming from! I work with people who eat out every day. (Today is Chipotle!) They are all young, single and work out constantly. I'm a married woman and considerably older and I run, but I'm overweight. They invite me all the time. I choose when I will go with them and watch what I eat carefully.…
