  • I have about 100 to lose, but I started off with a goal of 57, and I am down 22.5 since late January. I seem to have hit a plateau so I am trying to refocus and up the exercise. I find setting a series of short term goals help. I also find I can do so much more walking and cycling with less to carry around and less weight…

  • had 3 biscuits I shouldn't have had today. Got out the packet to make sure I logged them, and had a fourth. Oh well tomorrow is another day!

  • After gum surgery when I wasn't logging I can feel myself backsliding. Got back into logging today. Was a little over my calorie goal but I limited myself to eating too much savory rather than sweet which is easier to control. Yesterday I had a sandwich for lunch which I don't usually and I craved carbs the rest of the…

  • So... checking in at the 20 pounds weight loss mark. Happy with what I have lost so far, but my initial goal is 56 pounds to lose. Feeling like a plateau is coming on so I am recommitting to daily logging and hope to interact with this group some more. I have been doing aquafit and walking for exercise and between that and…

  • Hi I can sympathize. I have a few suggestions. I know that I simply can't have things like sweetie boxes around me. I'm just not that disciplined. Research (read Brian Wansink) shows that out of sight out of mind really helps. can you put the sweetie box away in a really inconvenient place until the next time the grandkids…

  • For me my fitbit is worth it - I do like gadgets to begin with, but trying to get the step counter up and closer to 10,000 does seem to motivate me, as does raising the number of active minutes. I have a flex which pretty much only counts steps and monitors sleep, so you have to manually add other exercise to myfitnesspal,…

  • I find logging really makes you aware of what you are eating and what your choices mean. It really is all about control. I managed to go to my monthly card night and resist a table full of my favourite sweets. I knew if I logged it all I would be mad at myself twice - once after I ate it and once after I tracked. It really…

  • Hi - I'm 40 + 11 :) I used MFP about a year ago to lose ten pounds but should have kept on going since I need to lose at least 50 pounds for my health. Over the past year I put it back on and I'm at the point where my health will continue to decline, or I get serious about losing the weight. Ive lost 8 lbs ramping up my…
