Loudoun members, this is an old thread, so I thought I'd re-start it. I'm in Chantilly and looking for some support buddies. Anybody out there?

I just re-read this. Another suggestion, since you do use your bike, which gives you extra calories to consume, is to set your calorie limit lower--like 1200 or 1300--and stay under it, unless you work out and earn some extra food. It's a motivator, too, instead of starting at 1450 and earning extra from there. Earn it,…

I'm no expert, and I am much older (like I have kids older than you) and have been a yo-yo my entire life. But I think the key to all of this is portion control more than what you eat. You have to log it (set reminders) and you have to approach it not as a punishment or penance but as a choice. You see people who eat well…

My husband is jealous.

I'm in. Just started back on the journey this week. Answering the question: my husband gets in my way. He knows how I need support, so he doesn't offer me a bowl of ice cream after dinner--just eats in front of me. He likes to pack a sandwich with chips for his lunch, so those are always around. When I first tried low…

Nuts other than almonds are hard for me to regulate. I have to put them in a measuring cup and promise myself not to go back for seconds.

I have 80 to lose and I need the support, too. I am adding ALL of you!

Are you still interested in getting together with the neighbors? I live in the Marbury development and don't know a lot of people yet. Looking forward to meeting others who have positive, social health goals.

Hi there. I used MFP in the past and did a great job with goals that were reasonable. Now I live in Northern Virginia and, after an injury, I gained a ton of weight. I'm dealing with the remaining pain from the injury but I need to get a handle on my weight. I workout at home with an erg rower, and I follow some healthy…

Daily Burn 365 is fabulous--it's like going to the gym, except staying at home! I usually watch it at 6:30 am before the new one posts at 9:00 am ET. I love that it's 7 days a week and the workout is never repeated; the comments don't get old to listen to. For 30-35 minutes, I have to pay attention because I don't/can't…

Hi! Did someone already take you up on your offer? I need an alternative to the treadmill we currently have, especially buried in snow. I live in Worcester. Thanks.
