Stay on track

Welcome, hope MFP helps you, I have been doing it off and on for a few years. I think helps keep me accountable to how much I eat. sometimes I just get tired of tracking and quit, but I always start back when I feel myself getting out of control with my eating.

Hi Ashley, you are doing great, 85lb gone is a big accomplishment. we all need encourage and support on this journey in our lives. There so many distraction and disappointments when everything doesn't go as we plan. But we can't give up, just get back up and dust ourselves off and continue the process. I am just starting…

Hi honeyplum, I am not sure how much encouragement and uplifting you are going to get with this group. I just rejoin MFP and I starting over again. It's been a year since I have used it. Maybe we can encourage each other, I don't think there is very much people active in this group.

Thanks for sharing , I will try this recipe too

Good for you, I am starting over again too, I was using MFP too about 1 year ago and now I am back. I think I am going to try Keto, it seems to work for some people. A co-worker of mine has lost about 50 lbs. in 5 months and she looks great. I am trying to get my self motivated to get started. I figured I'll start by at…

Glad you're back, I am returning too, I was tracking with MFP in 2015, and now I am back too.

WTG, awesome job

hi charlie040, our story sounds similar, my goal weight is 160, I think I will be too thin at 150, maybe not, I use to be skinny, but now I like having a little junk in my trunk and that would be the first thing I loss, so I think 160 would be good for me. About 5 years ago, I was at 170 and when I look back at some…

Congratulation on your awesome weight loss, you look great. great success, what helped you stay on track and not give up, that's a lot of weight?

Hi, and welcome to you new MFP users, I have been using MFP now for about 6 months, and I have lost about 12lbs so for, which is about 2 lbs. per month. Slow but steady progress. My goal is to loss about 30lbs, so I have about 18 more to go. I also like the support and motivation of others that are also trying to loss…

THanks for sharing

welcome to MFP, I have been using MFP for about 6 month. I think it is a good tool, it helps keep me accountable to what I am eating, how many calories I'm taking in and how many calories I'm burning, which is a big help to me. Although I have not lost a large about of weigh, I have only loss 11lbs. I still thinks it helps…

Thanks katnip40, appreciate the positive support

Thanks trishk82, I will try this recipe, sounds good, I love shrimp and avocado

Hi Memere, just wondering about the new grandbaby, #7:) how is the baby and parents doing, is it a boy or girl? Give us an update please, would love to hear all about the new one.

Thanks for the warm welcome and the support and encouragement.

Hi memere101, Congrats on the weight loss, I just wanted to know how long did it take you to loss the 40 lbs?

I have been making the cauilflower mash, instead of mash potatoes and it is really good. I just boil cauilflower until soft, add low fat milk, light butter, season to taste with salt and pepper and mash until creamy just like mash potatoes

Hi, I am audrey, I am new to the group as well. I join the 50's & fabulous group to get advice or motivation from friends in my age group. People that are experiencing some of the same things in life, when it comes to diet, food and nutrition. I am 57, have 3 grown children, 2 grandkids and expecting a new grandbaby in…

The over amount for protein will just turn to carbs basically. Dont worry about going over slightly. I do it myself. Actually you may find it fills you up more. Okay thanks friends, for your advice. Like everything in life we do, we need to have balance and moderation, right!

Thanks for all of the info. on protein, I am sure it does affect our body and our weight loss to some degree, that why it is included in the goal chart, to be monitored. I go over my protein sometimes, but not large amounts

I am so proud of myself, I connected my fitbit to my MFP account, thanks to janejellyroll's suggestion Have you linked your Fitbit and MFP accounts? [/quote]

Too much Protein will convert to sugar first, and from there to fat. You don't want to go there.[/quote] Ok, thank you so much, I need to keep a eye on my protein

No I have not, not that tech savey, I will ask my daughter how to do that Have you linked your Fitbit and MFP accounts? [/quote]
