  • So what values do you use?
  • Hi....honestly, I think 65lbs by Christmas is extremely aggressive. I don’t want to be negative but I’ve lost 79lbs since 2/27/18 which comes out to 3lbs per week. I religiously count calories (about 1,200 per day) and I burn 450 calories at the gym every morning.....I think you need to be realistic in your goals so you…

  • Hi, I am 64 today and I’ve lost 80lbs since Feb 27 of this year. I’m down to 193 but I’ve got a few more to go. Then I’m going to begin a weight maintenance diet and start a strength program to really get in shape. Let me know if you have any questions. Feel free to add me.
  • Many thanks, MFP friends!
  • So when all is said and done, what information would you use to verify the nutritional information on a store bought product..what’s the bottom line?
  • So the results of the scan are pretty much worthless? What’s with the green check marks by some foods, anyway.
  • I am 64 and have lost 67lbs so far on my way to 100. More importantly, I have leaned out and changed the way I eat, look at food and approach life.
  • Hi Jamie, my name is Ron. I live in Georgia about an hour SW of Atlanta. Originally from NJ. I’ve been in GA most of my life. I retired in 2013 and my weight immediately increased to almost 300 pounds! I’m only 5’8”. In Feb of this year I finally said “ENOUGH”, joined a gym, found the MFP app and really decided to do…
  • How do you catch a squirrel.....climb up a tree and act like a nut.
  • And did I mention that I didn’t lose a pound for the first 3 weeks? Yes, it takes a LOT of determination and consistency.

  • Hi. I am 64 and just lost over 50 pounds since February of this year using MFP. This app makes it extremely easy to track everything you eat. May I make a few suggestions? 1. Get yourself a good food scale. At least one that will measure grams and ounces. 2. Weigh EVERYTHING then log it before you put it in your mouth. 3.…

  • I’d be happy to share with you any of the knowledge that I’ve managed to come by through this.
  • Tell me about it. I’m 63 and have dropped 60 lbs since Feb of this year. It’s all basic math....nothing rocket scientist-ish....Ya gotta burn more calories than you take in....I know, easier said than done but this app helps it all make sense. As Yogi Berra said “Half of this is 90% mental...”
  • I might be interested. I am 64 and not the type to have a lot of “friends” on here. In fact, I don’t have any (by choice). I am very “old school” (I actually tell the truth) regardless of people’s “feelings”. I am retired and was involved in the industrial power tool industry for 40 years. My wife and I live In rural…
  • Well said, my friend. I fear that a lot of people trying to lose weight, just like in our society, have come to accept mediocrity and complacency as the norm, when in fact those things are completely counterproductive to making yourself the best you can be. IMHO, long term weight loss is a difficult, lonely, exasperating…
  • It doesn’t HAVE to be hard if you just break it down logically. It’s all mathematics. 1. Calculate your BMR using a free online calculator. Mine is 2,200 calories per day. I am 63, weigh 240#, and workout 3x per week. My goal is 200# by Sept. 1. I started in Feb when I weighed 272#. 2. A pound of fat=3,500 calories, so in…
  • Hi. Sharpsburg is right next door to Newnan. Coweta County.
  • I just bought something on eBay from a guy in Thessaloniki.
  • Hi. I’m in Georgia near Atlanta
  • I wouldn’t tJe anything from Starbucks if they were the last restaurant in the world. I am part of a nationwide boycott of these creeps and recommend everyone do the same
  • I might do that.
  • Works for me
