I came across a statement a couple of weeks ago that sums it up for me. It is not lack of motivation it not being disciplined. Each of us has to make up our minds to do what is important and then find what works.

I started using it when it was all free and it was great. When it changed I went with the free due to being careful of wasting money. I do miss some of the features but I'd rather keep my money.

I have a simple Fitbit Flex 2. Currently I am exercising (walking or swimming) twice each day. The only calorie burn that is being shared to MFP is the most current one. Has anyone else noticed this?

I've been in for a week and didn't know it! 1/7 - 12,101 1/8 - 13,106 1/9 - 12,055 1/10- 16,341 1/11- 10,654 1/12- 12,832 1/13- 14,033

Premier Protein Shakes have 160 Calories and 30 grams protein. I also like Quest bars which would be easy to put in a backpack and eat on your ride home. Think Thin bars are also good. For me it is important to keep added sugar to a minimum but you may have different requirements. Best of luck to you. It's too bad so many…

Have you thought about swimming? I had to change from running to swimming after turning 50 and I have almost no pain now. I don't have your same health issue however.

Our food was real food and not Frankenfood. If the Highly F-ed up corn syrup isn't making us fat by the calorie count it does make most of us hungry and makes us crave more of that crap. We also have a lot of medications people take that cause weight gain or at least prevent weight loss. I would really like to punch those…

Just log it at the end of the day when you aren't going to eat anymore.

I understand. I put on the Harvey 15 also. My bother and sister-in-law lost everything and moved in with us with their dogs. She loved to keep us supplied in candy and ice cream. I gained half of my weight back but it's coming off nicely since my awakening in January. Sometimes life is hard we just have to forgive…

There are two things I can think of to motivate you. 1. If you are truly overweight then think about the damage carrying around that extra weight will do to your body. For me this works like this: I'm 55 but my children tell me I will not have grandchildren for another 10 years. I really want to be able to enjoy my grand…

Great job on your hard work and dedication! Enjoy wearing your adorable dress and many other great outfits.

There are plenty of low or no sugar protein bars available (Think Thin, Quest, Pure Protein...)

If this is going to be done at all it should be done in the positive way by rewarding those with healthy habits with a discount. I think that would get a more positive response.

Mine never went away either. I had full term twins so it is significant. I have heard that surgery is the only way to get rid of it. :#

Yes you should ride the bike for an hour and while your doing it try to figure what caused you to binge. I have this problem also and I feel like I really need to get to the root of the problem or I'll never fix it. It if very frustrating.

Why is it a magnet for creepy people? A few years ago a new Walmart was built near the neighborhood I moved into. I felt safe going there after dark...not anymore all the creepy people have found it. People really should wear actual clothing that covers them and men should not keep their eyes on you for so…

I have Hypothyroidism also. Most people who do not have it do not understand it. Several years ago I learned about taking natural desiccated thyroid drugs rather than synthetic. They problem I had with the synthetic was they made my blood work numbers show me in the normal range but I still suffered many of the symptoms…

I'm 5'2" and lost most of my weight in 2014/2015 and have been trying to maintain. Gained 7-10 above my range last year and have managed to get back down to the top of my range but struggle to get to the bottom. SW 160 GWR 120-123 CW 122

These people are annoying but they have no real affect on you unless you allow it. Choosing to lose weight or be healthy is a very personal choice and the majority of it happens in our minds. Once I made up my mind to lose weight there was nothing that anyone could do or say to stop me...My motto--If it's to be it's up to…

Yes for some reason my comfort food is peanut butter which can really pack on the calories. It does seem to help with migraines though.

I'm 54 and have been tracking for 3 years. I lost between 35 and 40 pounds and have been trying to maintain that for the past two years. This is the only thing that has ever worked for me.

As a fellow sugar addict I can tell you what works for me but please realize everyone in different and you have to find what works for you. I have to go cold turkey when I want to cut out sugar. It is like crack to me. I drink one or two diet sodas a day. I don't see a problem with that. There is a soda that is made with…

As I always try to see people in a positive light, could the Doctor have intended that comment as a good thing considering your history? Could she have intended to say your are healthy now with that additional weight on? You look great in both pictures.

Are there no Tex-Mex people here? Scrambled with a good amount of hot sauce on them. I also like to add steamed yellow squash to them.

Congrats! You look fantastic and happy. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you quiksylver296 for the flow chart. That should be automatically given as an answer anytime someone post that they can loose weight.

Premier Protein makes a shake that has 160 calories and 30 grams protein. That is a great trade but it isn't cheap. Of course all of the lean meats mentioned by bbell1985.

People who are significantly overweight know it. No one needs to tell them. The question to ask would be why? No one wants to be fat. Is there an emotional reason? Is there a health reason? Do they have any knowledge at all about nutrition? If these issues aren't addressed a person may lose weight but they will gain it…

I didn't read all of the comments but it seems like you should go to the doctor and get a check up. Maybe there is a health issue that is preventing the weight from coming off. I have hypothyroidism and I know if my levels aren't right it is impossible for me to loose weight. It could be that or something else. I wish you…
