  • I started a balanced food plan (with journaling every single day--the good, the bad and the ugly--on MFP), exercise (now at 4-5 times a week at the gym and walking 1 hour every day with my dog) on 12/27/17. In a 1 year period I lost 51 pounds. I eat from 1500 - 2000 calories per day with emphasis on protein and very few…
  • This has probably happened to all of us. When I go off the rails I log it and move on the next day. It's kinda weird but sometimes having a high calorie day, followed by getting right back to the routine, seems to help my weight loss. When I've occasionally really mixed up my body and brain I get results a few weeks later?…
  • Hi Everyone, my goal this past year was to lose 50 pounds by 12/27/18, well, I'm down 49.8. With Christmas on the 25th I may need some luck for the 12/27/18 weigh in! I still have 15 pounds to go. So, I'm going to take the challenge of 8 pounds by Feb. 14! Good luck to everyone!!!
  • Hi PackerFanInGB! Thank you for responding, I really appreciate it. I had breast cancer over 20 years ago, "successfully" treated with a bilateral mastectomy. In July 2017 I was hospitalized for an abdominal issue and they did a CT. Then a bone scan, then the oncologist came into my room. Needless to say the abdominal…
  • Please add me! I've been working on weight loss and getting into shape since 12/27/17. I love getting motivation, inspiration and recipes from other MFP users!

  • Hi Dreamer, stay your course and please don't give up. One tactic that has worked for me when I hit a plateau (twice) is to alternate days of lower calories/carbs and higher calories/carbs for a week or two . During these cycles I alternate between 1400 - 1900 calories per day, but I also walk an hour every day and go to…
  • Hello from California! Good luck, take each day one at a time!
  • Let's get moving! I'm not sure I can lose 5 pounds in one month but I'm sure going to give it my best! I'm walking every day and going to the gym 5 days a week! SW: 230 on 12/27/17 CW: 185 on 10/1/18 GW: 159 looking at April 2019
  • I'm not a medical person but could there be a medical issue? I'd get a routine physical and start there. 900 calories a day is super restrictive. I've been losing about 6 pounds a month eating 1500-1800 calories a day, going to the gym 5 days a week and walking about 45-60 minutes a day. I'm about 32 pounds from my goal…
  • Hi Everyone, I was in those same shoes, so to speak, about 7 months ago. Every journey begins with that first step. I started taking short walks around our block and those walks have turned into daily 1 hour walks at a brisk pace with my dog. It wasn't easy, it wasn't fast but if you stick to it you will begin to feel so…
  • I hope your day is going better. Take care of yourself. It's so hard when things feel like they're spinning out of control. Take a walk, write in a journal (that helps a lot), take a hot bath. I will be thinking about you on Monday, and good luck.
  • Hello! I'm a grandmother in California. Both daughters had babies this year! I'm starting this journey after getting a diagnosis of recurrence of breast cancer this summer. After 21 years I have it again. Needless to say food was my comfort but I joined a great gym and am working hard. Hope to hear from you ladies out…
