Stop making excuses and finally, finally get to a healthy weight. I have been on MFP for at least 5 years and always do well for 3-6 months (trying to lose 80lbs) and then fall off due to work travel and stress. I just turned 30 and 2020 is NOT going to be the same.

I go to the gym at my work before I start in the mornings and always stash my makeup, shower stuff and hair tools in there for the week and bring them home on Fridays. It also helps me stay accountable and go since I don't have 2 sets of makeup and hair stuff so I have to go to the gym and get ready anyways,

My gym buddy hasn't lost much weight since we have been working out 5x a week and asked what I do with myself. I said our eating habits are different and I track every calorie that I eat. Her response was, "I shouldn't have to do that and I don't have time for it" now when she comments or ask, I simply say it's about the…

From a co-worker and friend that I work out with, where she hasn't lost much weight in over 3 months. "Blueberry Pancakes only have 80 calories in them including the butter and syrup" "eat 6 small meals so your metabolism stays active otherwise you'll not lose anything" "having 1 day where you eat anything you want and in…

Oh we definetly have that hear too!

I love making baked potato salad. I take russet or yukon gold potatoes and lightly brush with olive oil, S&P and bake in the oven until the skins are nice and crispy and the centers done. Usually about an hour or so, then cut into cubes and add light sour cream and tiny bit of mayo, bacon, cheddar cheese, and top with…

I use my calories suggestion from MFP, even though i have my Alta synced and i can see the calories in/out on my dashboard i don't use any of that information only because MFP has worked for me eating at 1200 (lost 18lbs since 3.2016) and maybe 100 back from exercise that i get from fitbit. I just like seeing the graphs!

I started the beginning of March at 208 and my 1st mini goal was to lose 15lbs by the end of April and i did. I lost a total of 19 so far and my next mini goal is to be close to 160 by the end of September and 1st main goal is to be at 140 by the end of year. Afterwards, i wanna get down to 120 then bulk up.

I eat 1200 calories a day and try to walk at least 30 minutes a day, i work 10 hours shifts at a desk and some days its hard to get my steps in, and have lost 17lbs since the beginning of March.

I started at about where you were and once i wasn't losing weight i looked honestly at my logging and started weighing EVERY SINGLE THING i ate. No more guessing serving sizes, no more estimating what this or that was. I used my scale in grams and log and weigh it all. Even my not so good days. I go out about 1 or 2x a…
