Roughly 6 to 7 hours per night.

Rolled oats, almond milk, blueberries, cinnamon and chia seeds. Quick, healthy and loaded with protein and fiber.

I am starting to struggle with this concept. I'm three lbs. below my goal weight and psychologically finding it more difficult than I would have thought to actually increase my calories.

About to hit 60 next month. Started with the app at the beginning of January and have thus far lost about 27 lbs. Have about six more to go reach my goal weight. My wife thinks I'm obsessed with this app, but I can't argue with the success I've had. Would be happy to join the group.

For me, the motivation is being healthy for what I hope will be a long retirement. I'm less than a year away and I want to do so much after years of hard work. To not be able to enjoy my reward because I'm unhealthy would just suck! Even something as simple as wanting to be able to get down on the floor and play with my…

I did a search for a discussion thread like this one and was glad to have found it. I've been using MFP since the start of 2015 and have had some good success, to the point where I'm now about 27 lbs. below where I started. My wife wants to lose weight (and has significantly more to lose than I do) sees the progress I've…

Knee pain is no stranger to me, especially at my age. Definitely get it checked in case you have a small tear. Years ago I tore cartiledge in the knee and by the time I saw a doctor, I could hardly get out of a chair without pushing on a table for support. Not fun. Needed surgery to fix the problem. Take care and rest it…

I have been weighing myself each morning right after I get out of bed, but not sure how long I'll continue to do that. I did find myself getting discouraged early on when it gave me a number that didn't reflect how good I'd been the day before, but now know that it fluctuates. I've worked hard to take the weight off, and…

I've known for a few years that the weight was creeping back on. A visit to the Dr. in early January was the motivation to start being serious about losing weight and getting in shape. I plan to retire next year and want it to be an active, healthy next stage in my life. I want to be around to see my grandchildren grow up.

Waking up next to my wife at our favorite VT inn, heading down to their outstanding country breakfast and all the delicious baked treats. Spending a day touring the countryside, being out in the warm sunshine, having a picnic beside a rushing stream, finding the perfect place to be alone in nature and taking advantage of…

Welcome to MFP and best of luck. I have found the tools here to be a great help in my weight loss. Three months in and I feel so much better. It's become part of my daily routine.

Massachusetts here, in the Merrimack Valley. So ready for Spring after this horrible winter.

For me it was premium ice cream. I love ice cream, but have virtually cut it from my diet.

For me, breakfast is an important meal. I am taking care to make sure it's high protein and fiber. Eat around the same time each morning (6:00) usually around 300 calories, and typically including some whole grains and berries. Coffee with a tiny bit of fat free milk. This morning it's steel cut oats and blueberries with…

Congratulations on this achievement. Feels great I'm sure. Keep up the good work.

21 lbs. since the beginning of January using the MFP app every day. I'm within about five to seven lbs. of my goal.

Have been shopping there for years. Some of my favorite staples include: fat free Greek yogurt (better nutrition than commerical brands and tastes very good), sesame soy salad dressing, their Kansas City bbq sauce (superb on chicken), turkey tenderloin in the meat case, coffee (several good choices), fiber bread…

I vary my breakfasts so I don't get bored. All seem to be in the 290 - 325 calorie range, which keeps me satisfied until lunch. Today was one serving of rolled oats, 1/2 cup of raspberries mixed into the oatmeal, 1 Tbsp of hemp/flax seed (I use Carrington Farms), one slice turkey bacon, coffee and 4 oz. of pure (Lakewood)…

I started with cardio (primarily exercise bike) but have begun to incorporate weight training in the past week, along with the cardio. I know I need to build some muscle, which is good at my age and helps with metabolism. Won't give up the cardio though. As soon as the weather turns nicer here in the northeast, I'll be…

About six years ago I started to get serious about my overall health, starting with cutting out alcohol, which had been a huge part of my daily life. It took some time, but that gave me the energy to begin exercising again and over the course of a year or so, I lost a good 40 lbs. I became a addicted to walking and it…

I guess for me it was actually incorporating weight lifting into my exercise routine. For the past two months it's been cardio, with a healthy dose of constant snow shoveling throughout the month of February. This week got out my bench and powerblocks and started up again. Sore, but glad I did it.

Have been shopping there for years. I get their fiber bread, which is better than you'd think. Good selection of coffee and tea. Really like the "Moral Fiber" blueberry muffins. Also, try the turkey tenderloins.
