Hi! Ive got 97 lbs to lose as of this week. I started 50 something days ago and am down 24lbs so far. My food diary is open. Anyone is free to add me.

Welcome back! I am a restart also. I've been back 51 days and down 24 lbs. I've found that having active friends on this site to be very motivating. Feel free to add me if you like. I enjoy seeing everyones progress!

Hi! I am 5'9 and started 51 days ago at 271. As of yesterday I am 247. My diary is open. Friend me!

Rather than "no treats" what I do is work them into my caloric budget. I try to plan ahead to the extent that I can and if I really want something that is a "treat" I find where it fits. I look at my daily calories as a budget and just budget it in. For the most part I've kept a very healthy diet but I decided this time…

Great job Malika! You hit Onederland and a lower BMI. Im so excited for you!!!

Subway, First Watch and Chipolte are good choices for lunch for me. If I go out to dinner, I look for a small grilled steak (6oz or less), grilled chicken, or salmon. And I always look for plain steamed or roasted veggies for the side dish. Some places have healthy substitutions too. One night I went to a local place with…

Yes. I'm down 20lbs and feel cold most of the time now. I assumed it was all the water I am drinking which I was not before.

Great advice above. I will only add that I find support, inspiration and motivation from my friends on this site. I found my weightloss journey tribe. Feel free to friend me if you like.

Welcome Amber! Glad you are here!

Welcome Heather! Congrats on making the decision to get healthy! Enjoy the journey along the way and celebrate all of the little wins as they will get you to your ultimate goal! Friend me if you like.

Hi there. I would love to say something super duper inspiring to motivate you but what I've learned is that we can only truly motivate ourselves. How badly to you want it? Set a short term goal...i.e. losing 12lbs by Thanksgiving. Feel free to add me as a friend for encouragement!

Hi! I am 49, an empty nester and have 100lbs to lose. I started back on MFP about a month ago and am down 15lbs so far. Also, I have an open diary and am very interactive with my MFP friends. Anyone can add me!

Hellio! I am 49, an empty nester and have 106lbs to lose. I've been back on MFP about a month and am down 15lbs so far. I have an open diary and am very interactive with my MFP friends. Add me if you like 😊

I understand where you are at. I lost over 80lbs about 10 years ago and then had an incident that derailed me. I gained it all back plus more. Ive been here a month this round and have found that having MFP friends to interact with on my wall very motivating and uplifting. Dont narrow down to only one person. Everyone has…

Welcome! You have a great goal to be able to have a baby for motivation. Feel free to add me as a friend if you like! Ive been here almost a month and started with over 100lbs to lose. Sandy

I think we self sabotage for a variety of reasons but as far as slipping up what I do is forgive myself, remind myself of all the reasons I am on this journey and make a plan to undo the damage. For example, if I know that my slip up included excess sodium I might ensure that the next day is a lower sodium day and drink…

When it comes to seafood avoid "farm raised" You want wild caught instead. Instead of Tilapia if you want a mild fish you might try Alaskan Pollock.

Im not in your particular predicament but I started a few weeks ago with100+ to lose. I am finding that connecting hete with others looking to give this a serious go is motivating and helpful. Add me as a friend if you like.
