Thank you!!!

Wow thank you! That was a lot of help and thanks for explaining it because it's a lot to take in at the beginning and somewhat stresses me out when I think about it to much. And I do try to get to 1200 a day at least but sometimes it's kind of hard to without over doing it. But I'm getting better at calculating the…

Thank you! I've never wanted it so bad.i woke up one day so tired of it and started that day! My hardest thing so far is staying patient. I guess I need to learn that. And thanks again!! Kind words and encouragement really helps a lot!

That is so awesome! Maybe I will get that lucky to! So you just watched your calories and nothing else? My MFP SET MY CALORIES TO 1310 A DAY WHEN I PUT IN MY WEIGHT GOAL. BUT BEFORE I STARTED USING THIS I'VE LOST 20LBS AND IT HAS BEEN HARD TO REACH MY CALORIE GOAL IF I DON'T EAT WHAT I NORMALLY WOULD HAVE BEFORE. IT'S SO…

Uh yes that was definitely a typo for sure! 5 lbs a MONTH!! Sorry!

Well even if I could reach 5 lbs a week I feel like that would be great! It would just take a little longer.. which is fine since people usually say that it stays off longer of it takes longer to lose it. If that's true! And thanks. This is the heaviest I have ever been and I am miserable! Tired constantly, get out of…

Considering I been stuck at this weight for a little over 2 weeks than I really shouldn't be to worried?

I have 78 pounds to lose to be "average" for my height wich is almost 5'8. Right now I am weighing at 228. In April I started at 249 but I have been stuck at this weight for a few weeks now. And I am meaning 78 pnds scale weight! My Dr.told me that I was obese and for my health it would be great for me to lose 100 lbs…

Well this is the first time I've used MFP and it is definitely an eye opener for me! I don't even want to eat bad so I don't have to record it and feel ashamed! I just need an extra boost! Thanks for the replies! I'm going to check into these and see which fits me best!

I've heard there are some better than others and definitely want to get one that is most accurate for sure! And I feel like it will help me stay motivated to try harder to!

Well I'm half way there.. trying to cut out all breads now, cut out sweets and sodas and seems to benefit me so far! I eat a lot of fruit and some veggies, as I am very picky, but slowly learning to like new things!!

I'm glad there are people on here that will tell the Cold Hearted truth!! That's why I'm here! I'm desperate for good advice and help! I've hit rock bottom and I need to get back up for sure! And after working for nurses and doctors you would think I would have learned that by now, considering I don't trust half of them!

Well so far people act like counting carbs isn't even necessary so I guess I'll mark that off my list!! That answers that question!

Thanks! I forgot about the Atkins diet! That's what I need is a plan. I pretty much just wing it!

My high blood pressure is what originally brought this up! Forgot to add that in.

Well I don't know much about counting carbs that's why I am asking, but I was recently told by a nurse that i work with that counting your carbs would help tramendously in weight loss.. so I though I would try to read up on it and understand it more. This is also the same person who pretty much starved herself to get to…

Day 2 for me and looking to lose 80lbs! Long ways to go but I'm excited!!

Well I was used to eating anything and not worrying about the calories or nutrients because I got in "I don't care mode" and never realized how much I was actually eating but never got full because it was not "real food"! Since I have been eating healthier and cut out sweets and sodas (which was my weakness) I seem to get…

Thank you! I will try this!
