  • I gained 20 lbs by adding a glass of wine nightly which inched its way up into 2, and then pretty soon inched up into a half bottle ... I stopped the drinking completely because wine is a red light food and I also got sloppy eating while drinking, and dropped the 20 lbs. Over the past 60 days I have dropped another 5. I…

  • it took 4 weeks of MFP logging everyday before I lost my first 2#, then over the next 2 weeks I lost another 2#. I can take time for your body to release the weight. Just stay on program don't weigh yourself every day (I weigh my self every 2-3 weeks), and you will loose weight over time. it may be slow but that's better…

  • I have cut way down on carbs. To maintain 1200 calories and fill me up (I am a volume eater) I eat a lot of veggies. I stick to large servings of non starchy like cauliflower rice, spagetti squash, beets, green beans, mushrooms, and salad greens. Several large servings of veggies with lean protein for dinner, sometimes…

  • Good to have you. I agree. CC is the way to really see what you are eating. I tried WW, South Beach Jenny Craig and other diets before MFP and non seemed to work very well. I am down 5 lbs.

  • I have been on MFP for 50 days now. I lost NOTHING the first 3 weeks. Then I lost 2lbs. The following week another 2lbs. Keep on plan and don't fret. If you are following the plan the weight will eventually come off.

  • I am a roasted spagetti squash junkie. I also love beats and eat the green giant beat spirals (making myself makes such a mess), and riced cauliflower I buy big bags and costco. Loves those peppers and other produce as well. My love of veggies has helped me with MFP because I like eating in volume

  • I agree. 1 to 2 years to take off your last 50 lbs is a reasonable goal. My body looses weight very slowly but packs it on quickly. I lost about 15 lbs over 3 mo by stopping all sweets and alcohol, and then I started MFP tracking. Well, I lost nothing on MFP until day 38 when I dropped 2.5 # on the scale. I will just have…

  • I love Diet Coke and drink about 16 oz a day. I also use artificial sweetners in my tea. It doesn't make me crave sweets and I keep to my daily fitness calorie count so I guess its one vice I won't be giving up soon

  • Hello: Happy New Year. I need to loose about 50 lbs on a petite 5'2 frame. I am 55 and have struggled with weight my whole life. I think my addiction to sugar has been a huge part of my struggle so last Nov 2018 I gave up sugar and alcohol, and lost a pant size. Now in 2019 I am using MFP logging in everything keeping to a…
