You look wonderful. Just keep at it. You will get there.

That's completely amazing. I've lost 60 so far in about a year. I have another 10-20 to go . . but I'm in no rush. I look fine as I am and I am a healthy weight. It's nice.

Yes, you will still lose weight even if you eat over your set allottment - providing you are not eating more calories than your body needs. It's just going to be a lot slower and there's nothing wrong with slower. I'm losing about a pound or 2 a month at this point. But I'm also eating around 2000 a day.

Not true. My sister has a large frame, and she regularly weighs 155 - 165 pounds with the body of a sports model. I, on the other hand, need to weigh between 135 and 145, and I'd be a candidate for Fashion Magazine. BTW, I'd never be a candidate for Sports Illustrated, and she'd never be a candidate for Fashion.

MPF has been an amazing success for me. I had never really had much of a weight problem until 5-6 years ago. In fact, I tend to be underweight, but for whatever reason, I started packing on pounds like it was going out of style and NOTHING worked to stop it or get rid of it. Not even going to the gym 8-9 times a week (Yes…

Eggs and toast. I get up late though. My lunch will prolly consist of meatloaf and fried potatoes About 500-600 calories

I get those. I just roll with them. In fact, I just ran through an entire week like that. I don't know what the problem was. It didnt result in any weight gain, so . .I'm just chalking it up to a sudden metabolism fluctuation. I get those sometimes.

Yeah, I had no idea, and the symptoms were not what I thought they would be. The first thing someone told me was that if I continue to let it go, I will eventually not be able to swallow. That was enough for me. the ear/nose/throat doc that I saw for the Thyroid just did a basic exam and went . . You're throat is…

Oh my goodness. I just did a round of Drs appts at my mother's insistence. I am 38. My mom was diagnosed with high blood pressure at 35 and diabetes shortly thereafter. Basically, I am the age when my mom's health started failing. and I am not one to go to a doctor unless I think whatever I have might kill me. So, I hadn't…

When I was incredibly thin, I used to get comment about how thin I was and how much I could eat. I was on my feet all day, burning about 3000 cals a day. I was eating every other day. So . . what they'd see is 2 big bacon classics from wendys, 2 large fries and a 2 liter of coke. Except . . that's what I ate that day. If I…

5'9" Desk job. Work at home desk job so I don't get out. 1700-1900 very very limited exercise. I've lost 50 in the last 6 months. I actually clean my house for exercise. Kinda funny. When you work a desk job everything - including long stints at the stove count as exercise. Started at 225. Down to 174

Yes, sir. You can do it. What everyone else has said is totally on par

ACK . . . I didn't even look. Thanks for letting me know. I shouldn't even be here. whoopse.

My MFP pals.

hahahahaha . . . Partial nudes yeah . . . and I think I saw a cake recipe the other day

LOL.... We rant about this about every other week on my news feed.

Rate me hell . . . . I'm so sick of seeing headlines that say: Would you? Date F** Kiss Molest Marry Pass Said person above. WHO CARES. I'm not here to find a life mate. I am here to lose weight.

meeehh . . My only rule is that if I can't reproduce it in my kitchen, I'm not buying it. I have yet to find something I couldn't reproduce in my own kitchen. A hand blender and corn starch can do a lot. *grins*

haha . . I'm with the above poster. Stop the gym. If you can. I understand you are training. But I"ve never lost wieght with diet AND exercise. ONly diet. It took me a long time to figure that out. I can eat 1800 . . gym 5-6 times a week and no weight loss. 1800 and no gym = 1 pound weight loss a week. I know it doesn't…

I chose mine based on where I was happy previously, which is 145. That's pretty much the middle of my BMI. I can go down to 135, but I risk looking like a walking skeleton at 5'9"

My scale is wonky. Like right now, I weight 174.5. Scale says 176. Scale is wrong. Here in about 2-3 days, it will say 173. Then 2 days later it will bounce to 175. I just wait for the low numbers and track those. No point in having a weight loss thing that says 199,197,198,195,197, ect Now, if I suddenly saw 176, 177, 178…

You can put in your own foods

$200 a month, 2 people. NOt a problem. Well, it's still gonna be tight. But here's a shopping list. My budget is $200 a month. This is what I bought, and what it made Shopping list 1 = Under $200. Shopping 12-7-2015 French Fries Hamburgers - 8 Cream Cheese Cherry Scones Spaghetti and Meatballs 4 pounds hamburger 2 pounds…

1231 is really really really low. Almost no one is going to feel full with that amount unless they've been eating it for months. You should probably go back up to like 1500-1600 and step it down over a few weeks if that's where you really want to be.

All I have is coffee for the first couple hours after I wake up. So no, you do not have to eat breakfast.

When I was skinny, I was always told I needed to gain weight so I'd have a more curvy figure. uh... NO! My body doesn't do that. More weight = bigger stomach. and after having gained far too much due to not paying attention, I can honestly say that is the case. My measurements were 40-50-42. NOT CURVY . . unless you…

What are your: I wasn't the OP - but I was hoping you may be able to help me out any way as I'm in the same boat. 5'10 195 195 (8 lbs gained since Thanksgiving) 183 (weight last summer. I had dropped from 208 to 181 in 2014 by changing/monitoring calorie intake) 1650 1700 sedentary 6 days a week (3 days running 3-5 miles,…

Well, I was gonna aask if being 38 made a difference . . . but I guess it does . . .hmmmm

I am down 50 pounds, and I did it in 5.5 months. So . . Yeah, it's possible. With that being said though, I still need to lose 10 - 20 more. I'll prolly be done by March/april. Like some of these other guys, I've had some pretty good health scares. 2009 benign ovarian tumor removal and some pain in that region this year…

Bones. Lotta lotta bones. I have to sit on a blanket again. I need another mattress top for my bed.
