I am new to this thread and I found it very interesting. The video gave a lot of "food for thought". I really agree with his revised plate. That approach is the only way for sustained weight loss. Now re CICO. I agree for the most part but not totally. Say 1200 calories of only cake. First it would be hard to sustain…

I too do water aerobics when I am in Flrida and I am looking forward to getting back to it. I am starting the week with ATTITUDE - all positive.

You need to love yourself as you are. I agree that you sound like some serious anorexic type thinking here. I echo that some professional help is a good idea.

Well I used to be 5'3 but height shrinks as we age so now about 5'1.5. So up goes BMI yuk Anyway my height is petite! So you can add me if you want a Grandmother type as a friend.

You look extremely fit and I do understand that you want to maintain that. keep in mind that starined relationships can be as damaging to your body as extra weight and lack of exercise. It did not escape me that you will be 55 on your next birthday and that you loss you dad at 55. Talk with your family about your fears…

Me 5 Gremlins 0 Todays Goals: 8000 steps, add 1 new friend, post all food and stay in calories, read and reflect

I use the One. Look for the for the fitbit group.

I loved my shine and bought it because I could swim with it. Low and behold it cannot handle salt water and I swim in a salt water pool so since I already had a fitbit I am back to that. I quite like the fitbit but I liked just wearing the shine on my wrist. Oh well.

I read somewhere that if using the fitbit it is best to set activity as sedentary and then let MFP adjust the calories. Does this make sense?

Many antidepressant meds can effect desire so be sure to talk about this with your Dr. I am an old coot now but I can certainly remember that intimacy is an important part of any relationship. Good luck and listen to all the wise counsel given by others.

Everyone has the right idea so long as you can stop at a controlled portion. For me that time is some time in the future but not right now.

I just turned 70 and I have plenty of attitude but could use more muscle. I am still out of town so for now walking will be my exercise. As soon as I return to Florida in 2 1/2 weeks I am committing to get a trainer. Yes I have aches and pains but for sure weight loss can only improve them. I am getting ready for a trip to…

Just read Sept issue of Dr Oz the Good Life Magazine. The featured success story Ann Budd down from 333 to 170. What was her secret My Fitness Pal so good for her and with work and motivation we can do it too.

Gremlins almost won last night but they did not I remembered my goals, drank water and got through the temptation. So today I start day 5. Goals for today: Up steps to 7000, post all food and stay within calories, use community for support, read and reflect!

Met goals yesterday. Today's goals are similar but it is good for me to Write them out so here they are. 1. Stay within calorie limit. 2. Drink 8 glasses of water. 3. Up steps to 6000 today. Working toward that 10,000 goal.. 4. Spend at least 30 minutes reading motivational success stories, reflect on my long-term goals…

I have been on stains for 14 years. No adverse effects I can identify. Maybe I am here writing this because of statins keeping my cholesterol under control. I am not a big advocate of too many meds but for people who need it and do not suffer adverse effects these can be a very helpful drugs. We are individuals not…

I am back after a several month hiatus and a big European vacation. Gremlins were definitel active but I am now recommitted to putting them in the closet where they belong!

Hi all I am newly rejoining MFP/ Interesting discussion. Thanks all.

Bravo.

I too am restarting today. Good luck on your restart and here's hoping for me.

I want to get restarted. I just came from a month long vacation and I really need today to be a new beginning. So calorie counting, recording all food, water and recharging my fitbit are my goals for thed ay

Here is a thought I have not read here. Do not have it as a snack by itself. Instead have it after a meal. In that way it will absorb more slowly and not spike as great a rise in insulin which then if blood sugar goes down makes you want more. it is worth a try.

Thanks for the welcome. gremelins got me last night but almost conscously. I knew I was facing clear liquids all day today because of a colonoscopy tomorrow si I decide to overindulge last night. Still not sure it was the best decision but sometimes the Gremilins win. So far I am winning to day. Did my aquaaerobics this AM…

Of course as with others I have a multitude of whys but recently a new one cropped up. I want to stay mobile plain and simple. Right now I "just" have a tendonitis on my left leg. Now there may be mutiple causes but lets face it folks excess weight does not help this at all. All of a sudden I think what happens if it gets…
