Feel free to add me. I’m 5’4” and want to lose at least 30 pounds right now... motivation is definitely something that helps!

Feel free to add me as a friend - always looking for new ones :)

I am looking for more friends :smile:

I’m a stay at home and homeschooling mom - anyone can feel free to add me! Looking for more friends as well :) :)

You can add me if you’d like :)

Just an update - I’ve been tracking my food daily, aiming for 1400-1500 calories, trying to walk as much as possible (goal is minimum 8,000 steps a day). I’m down 3.3 pounds from 9/17!! I have had days that didn’t go as planned and a day or two where I ate some emotions, but finally seeing progress!! 😊😊😊😊 This is the…

I’m happy to be added by anyone who’d like another friend :)

I’m almost 39 and back to working at getting healthier. Feel free to add me :)

That makes sense. Always felt that one day of not tracking - but still watching - helped me not go crazy from tracking every day and usually on a busy day. It’s a good month if I ever lost 3 pounds in it. Last time I had a big weight loss, it took me 10-11 months to lose 20 or so pounds I believe. Then several years later…

Thanks so much for all the help and suggestions and all - so so helpful! I do appreciate it all greatly. Today went really good and felt good all day! Determined to work hard and get this weight down - for me to feel better, be good example for my kids... hoping this continues :)

I appreciate the post. There was a several month period this year where I consistently tracked everything I ate or drank. I would give myself 1 day a week to not track, but would still watch what and how much I ate. I lost maybe 2-3 pounds in that couple month period - that was staying between 1300-1400 calories a day, and…

Beginning of the year I was 180, as of yesterday 177 (ranges between 175-177), goal weight 150 (to start with), and I am 5’4”. Guess it seems like when I eat anything over 1400 calories a day I can’t lose any weight, I stay the same or gain, which is why I was aiming on the low end of calories, aiming for around 1400 per…

Current goal set to 1.5 pounds to lose per week, calories per day from MFP is set to 1310 - goes up as the FitBit app adds in exercise, but today I’m aiming for no more than 1400 calories food intake, lower if I somehow am not too active today and not many exercise (FitBit) calories are added in.

Measuring food with either measuring cups or a food scale - some I’ve done enough I can eyeball now, but today going to start measuring everything again, even if I think I know what it is. No, not eating back exercise calories. My exercise is whatever the Fitbit app tells MFP to add. I have negative calorie enabled as well…

Thanks, I’ll take a look at it

I’ll take a look at that, thanks.

If I’m honest, been several years - do great, lose a little and everything stops and just get frustrated and give up. Been in the same 3 pound weight range for at least 5 months now, which is down 3-5 pounds from what I was in January. Cranky I think from eating too little? When I aim to stay at 1300 I just feel moody all…
