I am sorry you are at a standstill. Very frustrating I know. I can only suggest you do weigh and measure EVERY bite you take in and drink your water. I also find I retain weight if my food choices are high in sodium. A few days ago I wasn't thinking and ate a leftover sausage with no bun for lunch and then ate 3 ounces of…

Hi...we all have our set backs hun. I lost 85lbs in 6 months and even shot a tv commercial 25 yrs ago and then had two MORE kids back to back and over the yrs gained everything back and more. I have been here 5 weeks now and love this program. I want to lose 100 lbs and I AM going to do it this time. My problem is I have…

Congratulations on your huge loss! You look sooo amazing and beautiful! Thank you for sharing your story and pics with everyone. We need to be inspired and given hope. I too have over 100lbs to lose and it can be so overwhelming. Thank you again "Beautiful"

I have had that happen a few times now and was upset. I found it was the sodium and it did come off within the next few days. Be patient. I find I will stay the same a few days and then drop 1 1/2 lbs one day. Our bodies do funny things sometimes. I myself havent really figured it out either. It will come off....stick with…

WOW...you look amazing! Thank you so much for sharing your story here and your pics which I very much enjoyed. You are such an inspiration to everyone on here. I too have to lose over 100lbs which is frustrating as it has to be done slowly. I too cant wait to shop in all stores and not just the large lady stores.…

First off...congratulations on getting married...so exciting! We have all been in the same place as you which is why we are all together here. I am a Monday dieter and seem to give up mid week for years! A few over weight people I know got strokes recently and I also saw some pics of me which turned my head around. My…

I have bad knees so for anyone who needs a really low impact work out Leslie Sansone Walking Videos are great.

Welcome to MFP. I too have to lose 107 lbs. I have been on here for a month now and lost 14lbs. I love the program but have been committed to logging every day and getting my water intake up. I LOVE my sweets and dont deny myself and I dont exercise yet because of bad knees. There are sooo many encouraging people on here…

I have read many of the stories here and just want to add everyone. So many of us in the same boat when many times you think you are all alone. I have yo yo dieted ALL my life. This is my first time on this program which I really like so far. I need to lose over 100lbs and have been here a month now and lose 14 lbs. I lost…

I dont know what I could say that hasnt already been said here. You should be very proud of yourself because it took alot of hard work for you to lose that kind of weight. I too have to lose ALOT of weight and you inspire me. I cant wait to post before and after pics as amazing as yours! You are very pretty and you look…

I have been here 4 1/2 weeks now and love this program and working hard. My daughter is getting married next year and I need to lose some serious weight. I would love some friends to help with any advice. I too am very supportive :smile:

I have gone up and down for yrs and lost enough weight 28 yrs ago to even do a tv commercial for my weight loss. However I had 2 MORE children and gained weight that I never lost. I now have to lose at least 110 lbs. I have joined many weight loss groups but I am having great success with this one. I have been following…

I think you look great...look at that waist shrinking! Keep it up!

I try to find out the restaurant before I go out and check out the nutritional value of my choices. If its a bbq, I eat light during the day and definitely log it when I get home as best I can.

I am pretty new and only been following this program for about 6 weeks now. I also used to eat chocolate, ice cream, cookies and chips all day. Many times my junk food intake was more than my healthy food in a day. However I am now reading labels and watching my cheat food intake....sooo I allow myself one Coke a…

I have joined many weight loss groups and most of them say that the brown basmati rice is one of the best. I find it has a really nice taste over long grain brown rice as well. RIce is not so bad for you on its own. Its the flavored rice with chicken bouillon etc in it which ends up hiking your sodium.

I think your age has alot to do with your goal. I am 56 yrs old and my Dr. said he would be happy if I could get to 150 so that is my goal which I think would be easy to maintain. I am currently at 244 so I have a long way to go.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY....it was my husband's Bday yst and I had a very small piece and counted it. We even went to a restaurant and I had a chicken sandwich and salad and still lost 1/4 Lb this morning from yst weigh in. I say enjoy a small piece. Maybe go to a bakery or restaurant and have a piece and share it with a friend?

MFP recommended I take in 1596 calories daily. I adjusted it to 1500 calories and have been here for a month and have lost just about 12 lbs. I am very happy with that and must confess I am a bit hungry at times. I am hoping my stomach shrinks soon ...lol I used to eat alot of junk food and still crave it badly but I am…

I actually dont drink more than 2 glasses of any liquid a day. I dislike coffee, tea or water. I like milk and juices and drink a Coke every other day. However since i started MFP a month ago I am forcing myself to drink water. My advice is to start slow like you are doing. One glass a day and then maybe add another glass…

i also need to lose that much weight for my daughters wedding Apr 29th....i have been following MFP for a month now and have lose 11 lbs. I love this program...you can do this. My weakness is chocolate...do you have something that you just cant bare to give up? Remember to drink your water too....that really has helped me.…

Thank you Hearts_2015....I will check that out. I am really enjoying MFP...lets me see how much sodium , fat etc that I am consuming and easier to identify my problem areas.

Thank you Noel_57....i dont use the extra calories because it just cant be right. I only take in 1500 calories a day and when i add the calories i burned off according to my Fitbit...MFP says I can eat 2,000 more calories...lol I will look into it more

Thank you for your reply. Congratulations on losing 63lbs. That is amazing! Do you exercise as well? MFP wanted me on 1596 calories and I adjusted to 1500 which has been working for me. I have lost 11lbs in a month but have a long way to go.
