The other day I said to my daughter " oh my god, feel this!!!" and put her hand on my collar bone, she was confused and couldn't figure out what she was feeling for.... but as I explained, I haven't been able to feel these things in years!! LOL Also, I am wearing a size 6 jeans for the first time in 20 years!

When I had hit my plateau, I asked for advice as well... I was told to make sure that I was measuring and weighing every single thing that I put in my mouth. I started doing that in January and I've lost 15 lbs since then. I realized I wasn't counting my teas and condiments, the little things that I didn't think counted..…

I'm only 5'3... MFP says I'm allowed only 1200 Calories to lose a pound a week, so I just increased my activity levels . I always eat over 1200, because 1200 just isn't enough, I'd starve to death. But I make sure to burn anything over 1200. And this has been working for me.

I'm a single mom... I have 5 children...Feel free to add me :)

I have the exact same problem. I have 5 children and my stretch marks and sagging skin are terrible. It's done a lot to my self esteem and confidence. I'm single at 44 and am too insecure to let ANYONE see my belly. :( I've looked in to a tummy tuck , but was quoted about $10 grand... I don't have that kind of money.. I…

You might find your energy improves once you adjust your goals and you are eating a bit more.

Thank you, I'll try it out!!

That's disappointing, I should have stuck with Fitbit, that is my favorite feature, that it tells me how many calories I have remaining at the end of the day to either eat or work off. I figured out how to change the goal, I just don't know, based on my height, weight, etc what it should be set at to ensure I'm burning the…

I'm in!!... I was almost hitting 170 lbs when I decided it was time to lose weight. I'm now at 141.8 lbs and working my way down to 120 lbs (I'm only 5'3) So I have just over 20 more lbs to go. I love the encouragement I get from the MFP friends that I have made.

I weigh daily now.. I used to do it once a week, but would get discouraged if there wasn't much of a change, but now that I do it daily and keep track I can see the downward trend, which encourages me and I expect the fluctuation..

If I go over my calories, I just do a work out in the evening to burn the extra calories off.

Amazing!!! you look great. Keep up the good work!!

44 here.... I have 23 lbs more to lose to reach my goal.... My highest weight was 167 I'm down 24 lbs from my peak My rut of 6 months is over and I'm finally starting to see some results again. Self confidence grows with every lbs lost

I like friends!! :)

Amazing job!!! I am a single Mom with 5 and it's hard to find the time to stay healthy and fit. Good for you!!! I'll be your friend. Congrats on your loss, you must feel amazing!!

Yikes... maybe it's a good idea to just stay away from the scale right now. LOL

That was just me trying to be funny.....

How does one become part of this accountability group?

I'm a single Mom with 5 children. I work a full time and part time job, I go to the gym 3-4 times a week. 3 of my kids are in hockey (6 teams between them) So I can totally relate to being a busy Mom trying to keep up with the kids, eat healthy, exercise and stay sane all at the same time. In fact, I had a stroke in…

The answer to this question is always a YES!!!!!

I recently discovered Victoria Secrets sports bra. They clip in the front and also have a part to go over the cup that zips up for extra support. I love it. Very supportive. I'm a 36 DDD in their sizes.

I've just recently done this, this is my first cycle that I have been actually monitoring, so I will have it now to compare next month.

I've never ever weighed myself on a regular basis before. I didn't realize that it fluctuates so much. I literally just started weighing in daily about 2 weeks ago, so YES, I am just realizing this now. It's only since I started REALLY trying and reading all of the discussions and started educating myself more that I…

I'm a few lbs and get so frustrated with it...

LOL Thanks TOM... I just didn't want to make anyone feel uncomfortable ;)

I made my food diary public to my friends just yesterday and I find that it really made me more conscious of what I'm eating. I don't want people to see me eating crappy food. It's a good motivator!!

Ok. so I enter all my calories which syncs in to my fitbit, and then I use the fitbit to track my calories burned. So if my fitbit tells me I am allowed 200 more calories for the day after logging all of my food and after it tracks my calories burned. I go by that. Not MFP. It seems to be working for me and I have been…

Perfect... thank you!!

My new favorite discovery is the Victoria Secret Sports bra that clip in the front. It has a built in Bra, then a cover that zips up in the front over the bra. I'm a 36DDD in Victoria Secret and they are VERY supportive. But now you all have me interested in checking out the "Shefit"
