Yes it did. Thanks.

Thank you. That should help.

Thanks so much for sharing your experience. Everyone says get rid of everything but I do panic if I don't have immediate access, so I do keep some around. I have tried getting rid of everything over and over but just end up getting them again. I'm sorry about the health crisis you went through. That must have been…

I have been doing this for about a month and lost 6 pounds but now I seem to be trying to put it back on. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Congratulations on your loss too! That's wonderful!

Congratulations on your loss! That's great!

Thank you all so much. I think I understand. Sometimes it seems difficult to get even 20% protein, and maybe it's just in my head but it seems like the more protein I eat the heavier I feel. But I looked up the USDA guidelines, and since the range goes up to 35% I guess trying to get 20 can't be bad. Thanks again.

Thanks Lisa for that encouraging response. 12 pounds in three weeks is a lot! Congratulations! I added you as a friend.

Yes it does. Thank you.

Yes I get that but still doesn't answer my question. The macro percentages that mfp comes up with, what are they based on, since it doesn't seem to be the same ratio for everyone, even with the same calorie goal.

I'm not sure what to do with this. I had put my goal in to lose 1/2 pound per week and wondering if I should change it to one pound per week, So, this would change my daily calorie limit...or would it, since I am on 1200 now?

I'm 5'0" and need to lose about 25 lbs.

Would love more friends!

Made the decision to start drinking coffee (haven't had it for years). Hopefully this will replace at least part of my addiction to Pepsi. Also, a few weeks ago I had checked my steps for a day just to get a baseline. I was only getting about 600 steps. I decided to try to increase it by 400 at first, then (and now)…

You look amazing!

I have been a pepsi-holic and had just decided to try to switch to coffee. Bought Maxwell House Breakfast Blend Light hoping it wouldn't be too bitter because I didn't want to add sweetener. It's not bad but would still like to add something. I've heard adding vanilla extract or spices to the grounds. Anyone know of a…

I thought I was having the same problem until I figured out my weight loss wasn't reflecting accurately. Had to go to the website to fix, feel better now. Don't know if this is the case with you, but it's worth checking.

There is a DVD called Silver and Fit that is low impact. I'm sure there are many similar ones out there. Just do a Google search for low impact and see what you get. Even with the low impact you may not be able to do all of it. You just do as much as you can. And the more you do it, the more of it you are able to do. You…

I agree would be best to get blood checked and go from there. There are some vitamins and nutrients you shouldn't get too much of. Most women usually need Calcium and Vitamin D, but beyond that getting it from food is best if you can...or so my doctor tells me.

Lean Cuisine and Healthy Choice and any others that are on sale and in my calorie budget. I especially like the Sweet and Sour Chicken.

This is what makes me so thankful for my freezer. Best money I ever spent. So I've been able to buy things on sale, use coupons, and go on a day when I get an extra 5% off. But even with that, a little common sense goes a long way. Why splurge on things you don't need or shouldn't eat and then go without the healthier…

Calcium, vitamin d, vitamin c when I start feeling sick,

Congrats and thank you for sharing. I find the stages you went through interesting. When you first started working out what motivated you and kept you going?

It seems like I try to quit smoking or at least cut down about every other day. I think about it all the time. It consumes me and sometimes drives me nuts. I did find an app called Smoking Log that makes it easier to track when you smoke and gives you a total for the day. With that I was able, for a while, to cut my…

Ok so I ended up creating an exercise for the Silver & Fit DVD at 75 calories which is more than light housecleaning but less than the low impact aerobics. Hope that's a good guess. Any thoughts?

Ok thanks all. Ill take another look at some of the exercises listed.

To add someone I think if you click their name you will see a button that says Add as Friend or something like that.

Add me please...and would someone tell me how to add someone? TIA
