Doctor or Nutritionist...I would choose the latter. Any diet needs to be sustainable and being too hungry is a set up for failure. If I had 200 lbs to lose I would seek the help of a counselor to get help for behavior modification and impulse control and possible underlying issues. For myself, I feel out of control and…

Well Debrakgoogins I don't claim to be original. The thing in the article that impressed me most was the little video that emphasized how important it is to measure and what the consequences are for doing it incorrectly. Sometimes something just rings a bell as this did for me. Nothing I didn't already know but a reminder…

Just read an amazing, myth busting, article that may be the key to breaking the plateau. Don't be put off that it is written for women just adjust for men. Read the whole, long article and especially watch the little video about two thirds of the way through. https://www.aworkoutroutine.com/1200-calorie-diet/

cmriverside, you are a lucky person to have a metabolism that allows you to lose with such a high calorie count. We are not all like you, unfortunately. My temperature runs in the high 96 to low 97 range and I have never lose easily. Once I decided to see if I could lose just by exercising, walking and running on the…

I've been exercising in the gym an hour a day, four or five times a week to the point where I drip sweat. I've never lost weight with exercise but do it for health and energy. MyFitnessPal and Fitbit adds calories for exercise and I do eat more on those days but not even close to the calories allowed. If I have an extra…

Thanks for all the encouragement, what a nice e community we have! I'm not quitting, I have over a year of hard work invested and MyFitnessPal makes it so much easier.

Great job! So many advantages to less weight, little things too, like not getting as hot in the summer, no foot pain, fitting in stadium seats, etc.

BTW, in an earlier post in mentioned my encumbant bike...actually the bike I ride never ran for office nor was appointed to one and if nominated it still will not run not accept the nomination😁 My REcumbant bike runs fine though!

Thanks everybody, so many ways to lose. I noticed today my golf shorts were tighter in the thighs but the scale is the same. My hamstrings have been sore from all the recumbent bike riding, oh...eureka, leg muscles! I am tall and strong and I get really strong, really fast when I work out. So I'm content where I am, my…

Thanks for the encouragement, I'm in it for the long haul. Good luck to you too, I'm sure it will come off. Probably a few lbs all at once😊

I weigh some things but don't bother with squash, celery, etc. I'm logging the same as I have throughout my success. I'm increasing my protein, that might help. I do one hour on an incumbant bike on days I don't golf. If my fitness calories are 500 I might consume one or two hundred extra calories that day. Most of the…

I'm 70, wish I had understood how young 50 is, embrace it! I lost weight at 50 and looked 35-40! In my 60's had health problems and gained. Better now so I've lost 40lbs this year. I look better in jeans than most young gals glugging their giant sodas all day. Remember, you can choose who you want to be. I chose a slender,…

Hi, 71 here, I've been in AZ for 20 years after reaching my life time quota of rain in the NW! My goal for April is to log my 10th month, lose a few more lbs and get closer to maintenance, hopefully in July. Helen Girlie Brown was interviewed later in life, she said, "You can't be young again but you can always lose 10…

Follow the MFP program faithfully and you'll lose. I'm 71 and have lost 40 lbs in 9 months. If you want more calories earn them with exercise. Want to have fun??? Lose about 20lbs and start trying on smaller clothes, very motivating. Wish I'd had this app years ago.
