I had to cinch my belt one notch tighter today.

Hello, fellow geezers. I just joined the 60+ club on Sep 9. Started a month ago at 245 with a goal of 165. Currently 239. Have a great weekend, everyone. Thanks for your fellowship.

August 8 start = 244.6 September 1 = 242.0 Sept 30 goal = 235.0

Amazing: that more than 3-1/2 pounds lost per week! You look like a whole different person. Thanks for the inspiration.

Good job! Thanks for proving it can be done.

This.

No. Willingness to trade a year of life to achieve a weight goal suggests some kind of eating disorder or body image dysfunction.

T2D - I watch my carbs--55 grams max per meal.

I'm a cis man and proud to have lesbian friends and colleagues. You may not be as open as you think.

Shame on whomever flagged Besaro's post as spam. That is not helpful.

Welcome to MFP! It's a very supportive community. Logging my food and aiming to stay under my daily calories have really helped me focus on eating better. I am beginning to see results: down 11 lbs so far, one month into my 98 lb journey. I think my success so far starts at the grocery store. I make sure to buy healthy…

I seldom have room in my daily calories for any alcohol. I may have a glass of wine every few weeks with a special dinner.

It's a treat if you log it, a cheat if you don't.

I'm new so I'll defer to experienced members, but here's what had me off to a good start. 1. I used my age, sex, and current weight to set a healthy goal weight. https://www.healthstatus.com/calculate/ideal-healthy-weight 2.

Welcome back Mrs P! I found it useful to put my stats (age, height, current weight) into a healthy weight calculator just to see a weight range to maintain. That helped me set reasonable calorie goals here in MFP. https://www.healthstatus.com/calculate/ideal-healthy-weight Please friend me if you want a support buddy.
