Lowell, Mass, waiting for spring!

Hello, I agree with mom23mangos, Turkey is very dangerous right now, I would suggest checking the US State Department web site for warnings and try and follow Non US news to get specific details on what is happening in Turkey. I follow @nateschenkkan on twitter for news on Turkey because I watch and read more news than…

Hey There and welcome to MFP. I live just north of Boston, I have been using MFP for 15 days and really enjoy the community, the tracking and the accountability the site provides. There are many terrific people that will motivate you and also share ideas with food and exercise. Please feel free to add me, my food log and…

Welcome to both of you! Feel free to add me if you like, excellent group of people that can help in various ways, just ask! I log food and exercise daily, friends can see it and provide feedback and whatnot and we chat back and forth and root each other on. Best of luck! David

Hey Madison, Welcome to MFP. The people here are very nice, helpful and motivational. Please free to add me, I log food and exercise daily and will help you (along with many others) stay on track, and if struggle to help get you back on track. How much weight are you looking to lose and how much exercise are you looking to…

I workout 6 days a week and feel guilty on the off day, I do upper body/core/cardio day 1, lower body/core/cario day 2 and repeat, I never skip upper body days, so Friday I am scheduling an off day, if that is Upper, I will do Upper on Saturday. I really wanted to add a walk last Thursday, but it was raining so I skipped…

Hey Katt, I did the same thing beginning in September 2014, not a diet, a lifestyle change. I started here a couple of weeks ago, I log food and exercise and would be happy to share recipes. Feel free to add me if you like. People here are very nice, helpful and supportive. Good Luck on the journey! David

And we cannot like yours either....maybe you are on some sort of secret probation... :) Might be a site issue.... David

Sounds like you are on your way! Congratulations on the babies, chasing three kids around, you should add that to your exercise on MFP for sure. People here are very supportive and you will find the motivation and possibly help with menu ideas for a woman on the go! Feel free to add me, I log daily, food exercise and such.…

AmandaLee38: Try not to get to high or too low, weigh in weekly and don't get too upset of the number is not what you wanted, use MFP to help track your food daily, information is power and you will figure things out! David

Feel free to add me as well, we can all help keep each other motivated and going in a positive direction. It's certainly a shock weighing in at the doctors office sometimes, but it sounds like you want to get after some weight loss. The best part, you are in control and you can do it. I have lost about 76 pounds and have…

Portion control is a big issue for many people. Me included. When you enter the food you each it will tell you the size for a serving, try and stay with it. I eat meals and snack often so the body doesn't spike want something like chocolate. I eat tons of vegetables with each meal along with meat, eating more chicken and…

Hey All, I live in Massachusetts, but a UNC fan, I think zombies are misunderstood, I too workout at Planet Fitness. I forgot to take measurements and photos, but I have gone from size 44 pants to 36, I no longer have boobs. I have been working out, Upper Body/Core/Cardio day 1, Lower Body/Core/Cardio day 2, rinse and…

I use a pork/chicken seasoning from a local restaurant/herb store, or Trader Joes has 21 Seasons that works well on the grill with pork chops, always adding vegis on the grill as well. If you do not have a grill start the chops in an oven safe pan, then finish them off in the oven. For spices, whatever you like and the…

I understand what you are going through, I heard today "You cannot lose any more weight", I believe it is also some folks feeling a bit guilty about there own weight. You look great and you should be an inspiration to all the folks in your life, you are to us here. Keep it up! David

I live in the Northeast. BJ's Wholesale Club (meat, fruit) Market Basket for most vegetables, eggs. I grow fruit in my yard so during June-September I have fresh strawberries, raspberries and blueberries in the yard, although I eat so many blueberries I also pick them at local farms. Of course the New Hampshire State…

Good for you! You will also teach your children the correct way to eat and exercise. Most of health occurs in the kitchen, about 30% in the gym or exercise. If you look at the best way to eat for you, it's not typically a numbered diet (21 day this or that) it's a lifestyle change, which is forever. Doesn't mean you cannot…

Anyone can add me, I am logging food and exercise daily. I am 11 or 12 days in on MFP, I have lost 76 pounds, love to cook so I wouldn't mind sharing and talking about the food we all should eat. Good luck to all! David

Matt, Sorry to hear about the health issues, feel free to add me if you'd like, my diary is open to friends and support is free! You can do this, the site really helps keep track of what you eat and exercise and there are so many people in here is great advice! Good Luck! David

Feel free to add me for accountability, support and motivation. My Food Diary/Exercise is open for friends as well, every is very helpful and we are all pulling for each other here! Good luck with the journey! David

I have lost 76 pounds so far, with about 10 to go, mostly lost in the kitchen, throwing out the garbage foods no human should eat (products with High Fructose Corn Syrup), then I started in the gym (Dec 2015), feel great, although I need new clothes! Add me if you like, I am only daily logging my food and exercise. Good…

Excellent job! I have gone from 266 to 190, with about 10 more pounds to goal. Keep at it!!

Goals: I weighed 266 lbs on 9/1/14.....I weigh in on Tuesdays, this week I weighed 190.6, my goal is 180 pounds, I did most of it in the kitchen, I only started in the gym in December of 2015. I do Upper Body/Abs/Cardio day 1, Lower Body/Abs/Cardio Day 2 and repeat, I take one day off each week, usually Thursdays. Biggest…

A SMALL thing: Read labels, know what is in the food you eat and what it does to your body. That then becomes a big, big thing. Good luck!

Happy to help from a different perspective, in Sept 2014 I weighed 266, today I weighed in at 190, most of the work takes place in the kitchen. I only joined a gym in December 2015. Happy to share what I did with the kitchen part, I do all the cooking in the house, so it's been interesting and fun learning what we really…

I just had a conversation with a nutrition specialist and he is also a certified cross fit trainer. He said it's a 70/30 split. 70% occurs in the kitchen, 30% in the gym. So, start in the kitchen. Find out what works for you with weight loss and get exercising, even just walking at first, something to get yourself moving.…
