You can add me.

I am interested. I definitely need some help with motivation right now.

I lost 60 pounds a year and half ago. I slacked off and now need to lose 13.5 pounds. I have chosen to lose some weight for my health as well. Nutrisystem has worked for me so I am sticking with it. Logging on MFP really helps me. I did not gain too much weight until I quit logging my food every day. It is too easy to lie…

I would like more information, please.

I am 5'1and a half. I was 5'2" but age has taken a toll. I am 65. I was in maintenance at around 1300 to 1400 calories a day. But I stopped maintenance and was eating anything that I wanted. Now I need to lose 18 pounds. MFP's suggestion of 1200 calories to lose weight is a joke for me. I need to stay close to 1000…

Logging food and having encouraging friends really helps me. I lost 60 pounds on Nutrisystem. I actually needed to gain 10 pounds in order to be a healthy weight. So I let myself gain those 10 pounds but didn't stop there. I now need to lose 18 pounds and am back on NS. I know that MFP is vital to my success. Please feel…

MFP will change the settings on each day according to your activity level that day. All of your macros change along with calories when you exercise and enter it on MFP.

You stated you have been doing weights, and you could be adding muscle. Since muscle weighs more than fat, it may be that part of your pounds is more muscle. You don't want to lose the muscle you are building. I would access it based on how your clothes fit and how you look more than the actual pounds you weigh. Look at…

Thanks, Roger for doing these reviews! :)

I am 5'2" and have lost 60 pounds. Since I am older, I do not burn as many calories. I lost the weight using Nutrisystem and MFP. For my height, my baseline maintenance is only 1300 calories at 116 pounds according to MFP. However, my Polar Loop tells me I burn at least 1500 calories many days. For the most part, I try to…

You stated it in your title. You have a goal and don't let anything prevent you from doing it. I have come to realize that most of losing weight occurs in my mind. Have to keep my mind in the right place and eating right and exercise will happen. Our thinking determines our actions.

You have many answers, but I will give you mine as well. I love the taste of vanilla almond milk. I buy the sweetened version most of the time. However, as I have learned about the way dairy cows and their offspring are treated, I just prefer to avoid dairy when I can.

Good question. I usually send a short note as well.

Counting calories works for me. Tracking works for me. Also, I discovered I am not eating even close to the amount of iron that I should have. I would not have realized that if not for MFP. I can now make adjustments to my diet and supplements to get enough iron in my diet.

This is a great reminder. I do lick the peanut butter from the spoon!!

I will miss the Sloppy Joes and Grilled Chicken Breasts.

Welcome!! You sound like a very busy woman. Feel free to send me a friend request.

Looks yummy!!

Thank you for the question and thanks for the answer! :)

Hi, Tia!! It is nice to meet you. It sounds like you are very motivated to lose weight. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have. Missy

This is a beautiful testimony. Thank you for sharing it. I actually started NS because God showed me it was time to lose weight. My story is a bit long, but I will share it at another time.

I mostly use it on my home computer. I like the format and the opportunity to learn from others.

Tracking is very important to my success, but when my birthday comes, I am not going to worry about tracking. I will get right back on track though.

Hi Kat, I am sure you can do this. For me, weight loss always starts in my mind. You have been preparing your mind for this journey. We are here to help you. Missy

Update, for some reason I am now able to access my private messages and reply. :)
