  • Thanks everyone. I think I'm going to go with my gut on this one and not take the pills but will instead continue doing what I'm doing and next week my husband and I will start at the gym. I'm going to go ahead and get the pills so he sees that I picked them up but won't use them and I'll let him know that at my next…
  • I saw my doctor yesterday for some strange feeling in the right side of my neck which I thought might be a somewhat swollen lymph node. Everything was good and it seems it may just be stress related. I made an appointment with the chiropractor for Friday, as my back is still hurting. However, at the doctor, I brought up…
  • Ouch! At least you tracked and didn't go completely of the rails and you still did good with your cardio and strength. I hope you recover quickly and I'm sorry your hurting so badly!
  • This weekend I did well staying within my calorie range, although I think I went over on Friday but it didn't go up to maintenance calories, so I was still in a small deficit. My husband and I joined a gym with my little brother but I'm not sure if we'll get to go this week, as I seem to have pulled something in my back…
  • Good luck! I started my weight loss with Weight Watchers and it worked for me twice for about 30 pounds or so. Unfortunately for me I didn't do well with the new Smart Points program but I know so many people who are rocking it and I love looking up WW recipes on Pinterest for meal prep and dinners.
  • Hi ladies. I'd like to join in on this. I'm getting back into the swing of things after maintaining since November of last year. I've started tracking again and I know eating better makes me feel better and right now it seems it's the only thing in my life I can control. Lots going on with work that's stressing me out. I'd…
  • I have more than 100 pounds to lose. I'm about 40 down with about 110-120 left to go but I'm under 40. I'm just working on not having my "trigger" foods where all I want to eat is all of that one thing which would be way too much. Mainly carbs like macaroni and cheese, chocolate, cookies, ice cream, and the like. My…
  • I had this last week and also hated it which was a bummer because I was really looking forward to it. I tried really hard to like it but I ended up throwing it away.
  • @Bere1416 As h1udd said, the scale definitely messes with your mind. This happens to me a lot. My clothes will be feeling better and I'll be feeling better but as soon as I step on the scale, if the number is higher than I thought, it pushes all of that away. I myself need to work on measurements more so I can actually see…
  • Hi there! My name is Bethanie. I'm 24 and currently weigh 273. I'm wanting to ideally get below 200 to begin with and then from there, I want to get around 145 and see how I feel. I'm not really sure!
  • I definitely understand that relationship with the scale. I've been there myself. As others have said, there are reasons for the gains. Just take it one day at a time and breathe :) You could also try taking your measurements once a month to see the differences that way instead of just the scale. I've seen others post…
  • I would love to be able to fit into roller coaster seats again!
  • Hi all! I'm 5'3" and from Colorado. My highest weight was 297. I had lost 35 with WW and made it down to 262 but then some things happened and I'm up to 273 now and making my way back down. I'm just glad I didn't gain it all back and then some like I have with all of my previous attempts to lose weight. My main reason for…
  • I also left WW recently because of the new Freestyle plan. The calories Fitbit is giving you are ridiculously low. From what I understand, MFP will never go below 1200. You need to at least eat 1200 calories a day otherwise it's not healthy and can harm your body. I would advise to go with what MFP is giving you. In…
  • My highest weight was 297 lbs. I'm down to 264 now and still have about 130 to lose to be in the middle of my healthy weight range for my height (5'3"). So with that, I have about 59 kg to lose. It's daunting, so I try to think about it in small terms of 5 lbs each. Once I lose 5, I move on to the next 5 and so on and so…
  • I'm currently using WW and then inputting my food in here to keep track of how many calories I'm eating and making sure it's not too few. What did you not like about the Point system? There are times I consider doing just this due to the fact it is free. I had done just this solely before but didn't lose as much weight as…
  • I'm 5'3" but my starting weight is much higher but I'm still right around that range for calorie goals. I would still definitely like to become friends with you all for support :)
