We don't know OP's starting weight. But I know for myself I can no longer lose that much weight in 5 to 6 weeks, because I'm not as big as I was when I started out with MFP. On a good month I can lose 5 pounds. On challenging months where there's a lot of celebrations, holidays, and vacation I can only lose about 2 or 3…

I agree! Nutella is so dangerous! I know someone who makes sugar cookies with a Nutella swirl. She rolls out the sugar dough, spreads the Nutella on the dough, then rolls it into a log, refrigerates it overnight, cuts them into cookies, then bakes them. She gave me the recipe, but I've never made them, because my house…

Oh Boy! You would have really loved my brownies I made for Christmas. My daughter has an awesome brownie recipe. She wasn't around so it was up to me to make them. I misread the measurement for the chocolate powder. I added a little too much and it made the mixture a little dry. So, what to do? I think I added 2…

I have 5.8 pounds to lose to get into the Upper OVERWEIGHT range of my BMI! Then I can proudly say, "I'm no longer OBESE!! I've set that goal to be accomplished by the end of February. Today is January 6th. I'm giving myself that much time because I'm a little slow at losing weight. I've faced the facts. I enjoy being with…

WOW !! That's great work. I can really see it everywhere. I noticed your arms. Very well defined! Keep up the good work!

Great Job. A 10 pound loss is a success! Great job and keep going! You've got this!

That is great to keep this positive look on your workouts! I know myself I can't jump and move like I use to like I was in my 20s. I remember joining my first aerobic class and performing "Running Man" and feeling so proud after working out this move and finally being able to do it with the class. It's hard to describe how…

WOW!! Look at the muscles in your lower legs! Great Job!

WOW!!! That's a lot of weight! I know you feel and move better. I keep gaining and losing the same 30 pounds. And I still have another 35 pounds to go to get into my normal weight BMI range. I get within 20 pounds of my goal and I give up on myself. But you look great!! You are my inspiration to keep trying!…

I never knew this. This is motivation for me to get my weight down. I'm already short enough to be in kids clothing. Maybe I won't have to hem them up when I buy pants. As it is I have to take off 5 inches off the bottom of my slacks. Funny story when I had knee replacement surgery the Physical Therapist had to order a…

Friends who are thinner than you will start competing against you. They don't want to be beaten by your weight loss. If you say you've lost 5 pounds, they say, "I've only lost 2 pounds. No FAIR!" They get all upset about your recent victories because they can't say the same. They don't really understand the concept of BMI.…

swimgal Where are you?! We need an update.

Cheesecake!! As long as there's no nuts on it. Funny thing is I hated it growing up. My mother would make it from scratch in one of those Spring-Form Pans. Honestly all I could taste was the lemon. I would only eat the graham cracker crust and leave the rest. Now, I can't buy it because I'm the only one who will eat it. If…

Well, I didn't make it through without gaining. I will be truthful. I went into it knowing I was going to gain. I gave myself a 2 to 3 pound weight gain. I stepped on the scale this morning and I gained every bit of 3 pounds. I don't feel bad. I'm back on today with intermittent fasting along with Ketogenic eating. It's…

That's great. I have to admit. I had to look up Kilos to Pounds calculator. You lost 6.6 pounds in one week. WAY TO GO!! Keep up the good work!!

That is great!! Coming from someone who only needs to lose 30 more pounds, and 30 pounds is still overwhelming, 105 is A LOT of weight to lose! I congratulate you. Well done! You inspire me to keep going!!

Congratulations! 196 is my all time highest weight on the scale. So I understand the victory. I've seen the number 196 three times. First time was on the doctor's scale, and I was one day away from giving birth to my third child. The second time I was not pregnant, and I was thinking, "If I get pregnant again I'll be over…

I'm a 4 foot 11 inch tall woman, age 58. I'm currently at 158.8. My BMI is 32.1. My weight should be no higher than 123 to be in the healthy range. I've had my weight there in my early 20's but to be honest I had to starve myself. No one talked about keto back then. We talked about counting Calories. Calories in and…

Great Job! I had a hard time telling it was the same person!

You can do this! I'm 58 years old, 4 feet 11 inches tall, and 160 pounds. I have a long way to go to get back into my healthy BMI range. I've lost weight before on Keto. I lost 40 pounds to qualify for knee replacement surgery, but I gained 20 of it back. I'm getting back into Keto/Intermittent fasting because I know it…

I'm not making this up. Long story short, I did finally get my knee replaced after getting my BMI down. When I was close to my heaviest weight I asked my doctor to give me a referral to an orthopedic. My knee was getting worse. She said, "No Orthopedic Surgeon will touch that knee till you shut that PIE HOLE in your Face!"…

People who want to start up a conversation while I'm trying to use the elliptical or any other aerobic machine. Yes, I'm out of breath and I prefer not to talk right now.

WOW!! Impressive! You did great! I know it was hard work with some set backs. You may still have a few more, but don't ever look back. Keep going no matter how long it takes!!

How I wish I could remember the name of a book about weight loss and why we are so fat. The chapter I'm remembering was the fact that people don't want to see success in your weight loss. It's the "Crab in the Bucket" syndrome. If you observe this behavior in crabs you will see a crab trying to get out of the bucket but…

Congratulations!! That's a lot of weight! What you might want to look into is a Low Carb/High Fat diet. Eating fat helps keep your insulin levels down. Keeps the hunger feeling down too. There are a lot of Youtube videos out there to watch. It's working for me. I'm also intermittent fasting. But be warned, there a lot of…

Last night it was getting late and I really didn't want to work out. I'm lazy and a true couch potato. But I got myself off the couch and did a 20 minute workout. After my workout I went back to my couch and realized my breathing was much better and easier. Inhaling and exhaling air at full lung capacity felt wonderful and…

To say Goodbye to the 160s and Hello to the 150s by New Year's Day. I'm at 162.4 today. Almost 3 pounds to go. On the other hand, it would be a nice Christmas gift. At 4ft 11 inches tall, weight loss is very slow going. I'll be happy if I see it by New Year's Day with all the potential eating between now and then.

I have a problem with a lot establishments. I'm just under 5 feet tall and most of the time, well just about all of the time, my feet never really rests on the floor. I have to point my toes to touch the floor. At the end of my visit the muscles in my legs often ache after keeping my toes pointed. I don't blame these…
