Yes, I measure and weigh all of my food! All solids are weighed in a digital food scale. I'm not asking why I'm not losing weight. I am asking if anyone has had success going a little above that minimum suggested to basically change things up and get weigh loss moving again.

I'm not questioning why MFP calculates what it does, I'm just wondering if anyone has had success with raising their limit a little...

Hey everyone, so now that I know I am where I'm supposed to be, I guess I'll introduce myself! My name is Anna, I am the mother of 2 beautiful kiddo's, a wife to an amazing husband who recently has lost 42lbs, an Army veteran, and a 911 dispatcher. I have a long way to go on my weight loss journey but I am taking it one…

Certainly! I used to be a member there but another gym in the area closed and they all came over to our planet fitness and it was just too crowded! :( We can definitely get together sometime though! :)

Hey there, where are you in Wisconsin? Im in Kenosha!

Sorry if this seems like a stupid question but im new to this! How do we know what team we are on? This chat group popped up when I clicked on "following" for discussion filters so im not sure if this is where I belong? thanks!

Hey everyone! I've lost 25lbs so far this year, and looking to lose 100 at least total by the time I go back to Hawaii in Jan/Feb 2020! SW: 255 CW: 230 GW: 130 May 3:230 May 10: May 17: May 24: May 31: June7: June14: June 21: June 28:

interesting reading through these comments. I have a horrid sweet tooth, but I try to stick with fruit to satisfy that anyways, but im not opposed to artificial sweeteners. Love my diet mt dew! :) I use the Equal tablets in my coffee... I do agree with most, it can be extremely sweet, but then you just cut back on it.

Hey ladies! WE GOT THIS! May is going to be my month, I can just feel it! I'm so excited for all of us!!! SW: 255lbs CW: 230lbs GW: 135lbs My goals are: - stay at or under calorie goal every day for the rest of the month - exercise at least 3-4x a week - practice some positive self-talk

I weigh daily, and track it, so I can notice trends in my diet, exercise and how its physically affecting me. I have had issues with becoming obsessed and giving up BECAUSE of seeing no progress for days at a time. However, this time has been much better for me as I've actually set myself a solid goal and timeline. I think…

HNM11562, I love your ideas! And I am so happy that your center has welcomed you with such open arms, I've heard some horror stories about newbies in dispatch and how they can be treated so badly. What a wonderful place to work! I love my job, and wouldn't trade it for the world. I hope the same can be said for you. Its…

Yes! Certainly! We are all a team! I know you have your struggles with being pretty sedentary on the job, also. I remember back in my MP days, being stuck in my patrol car, and having only access to the shopette on post. Glad to have ya!

we are on a rotating schedule so 4 on 2 off 4 on 2 off 5 on 2 off. You?

Awesome! We do 8 hour shifts, but often get mandated overtime, most of the time it is assigned last minute, which throws off any plans. Can't even plan during the work week! How long do you get for a lunch break? I've learned to just make the gym non-mandatory and something that I want to do leisurely. I would like to lose…

Hey everyone, dispatcher from Kenosha, WI (right in the middle of Chicago and Milwaukee - Main corridor between the two cities). I dispatch police, fire, and ems... also a calltaker. I currently work 2nd shift so 2pm-10pm, forced overtime usually 1-2 times per week. I recently went to Hawaii at the end of Jan/beginning of…

I'm insanely afraid of ketchup... Not afraid of blood, wasn't traumatized as a child, just scared to death of it. its not allowed in my house and if we go out to eat and its on the table, my husband has it removed. Also, my children are not allowed to eat it (although my family members still let them have it when I'm not…

We all start somewhere! You got this! :) Keep your head up and work hard, it will pay off! I've got a long way to go, also... But we can do it! You can add me, if you'd like. :)

I have about another 120 I wanna lose! Add me!

Looking to become more consistent on my days off and also looking to follow a consistent workout routine! I can't seem to make the gym happen. I love my gym, and I enjoy going but seem to have an excuse most of the time. Whether its that I have to get stuff done around the house or I get forced overtime and end up for 12…

Me too

I could definitely use some encouragement and friends!
