I have the goal set at 1 pound per week.

Yes. MFP recommends 1390. So I'm pretty close to that.

Whoa......!!!!

I'm in the same boat. I've lost 15 since April and stalled out at 167 for about a month. My calorie goal was 1300, but I have been eating 1400-1500. Do you guys know if cutting carbs helps? I haven't researched macros and ratios of protein, fat and carbs. Are all calories the same?

Another 15-20 left to go!

No photos, but today marked 15 pounds lost

I was given the tip not to weigh yourself for a week or two after vacation. Just go back to your eating regime and give your body time to readjust.

Ranch dressing, bagels, granola bars, nutella

When I was going through a period of depression a few years ago I went to my doctor to see about having my medication dose increased, she suggested exercise instead. I believe she said an hour of exercise is the equivalent to an extra dose.

Also, mints help or peppermint tea.

Try to spread your meals and snacks out. I have breakfast, mid morning snack, lean cuisine, afternoon snack, dinner, and sometimes a light snack after.

I felt the same way only a month and a half ago. I didn't fit into any of my summer clothes. I was the heaviest I've been. I started using myfitnesspal and calculated the amount of calories I needed to eat each day to lose 2 pounds per week. I've been averaging a pound and a half and have lost 10 pounds. I ordered a new…

This is so so true. After a little over a month I'm 8 pounds lighter. I weigh myself in the morning. Sometimes the scale can go up 1-3 pounds from day to day. At first it scared and frustrated me, but then I started to see patterns. I have 30 pounds to go, but I'm more confident than I was. The two biggest tips, make sure…

I started at 182 and I'm down to 173. I'm 5'8". Thank you for sharing your pictures! It's encouraging to see others succeed!!

I agree with the advice above. Tell them that you have some tips and tricks that have worked for you and that you are willing to share if they are interested. If not, than they are on their own.

Wearing a pair of pants and having to pull them up all day. I need to belt them now.

I have one day where I allow myself to eat maintenance weight. I've been doing really well on 1300 calories. I'm losing about 2 pounds per week. I feel nervous about eating more until I'm at goal weight because I don't want to slide back into bad habits.
