I like this goal. I may have to use it! What I tell friends who are at quilt group and don't feel like they are accomplishing anything that day is, you have more done now than you did yesterday! And that sure applies here - any weight loss is more than you were down before. We can't always know why we didn't do better this…

Happy NSV - I needed a pair of what I call indoor pants (usually lounging pajama pants!) and my usual go-to pairs were hanging to dry so I tried on a pair of capris that, last I tried them in the summer, were a bit too tight. Tight no longer - yay! Nice to sit in them and not feel squeezed. Now I have to try on the other,…

Just chiming in to say look at your rolling seven day average calories (on my phone, it's under Nutrition - calories, and you need to look at Week, and under Settings make sure it says 7 Days rather than a day of the week so that each day it will average the past seven days.) Some days you will be over in your calories,…

Log everything you consume - be totally honest - you're the only one who has to see it. Don't drop to, like, 1200-1300 calories/day right away, or whatever MFP tells you you should be at. I had been to a bariatric clinic (long story, didn't have surgery) and they recommend just trying to keep to under 1800 calories/day to…

Embrace walking the dog! Make it a goal to go a certain distance every day, or go a few steps further each day. Make it a fun thing to do. The worst that can happen is you will lose weight, and the best would be, if you really don't like walking the dog, that someone else will see how much you are enjoying it and want to…

Oh my goodness, I am going to have to start reading here every day to keep up! Hugs to all that are struggling. (I think most of us struggle most of the time else we'd not be where we are today.) Also I need to find a picture to put up! Yesterday I had to take my car in due to a recall notice. I would have changed the…

@iloveeggnog I like what you said about Christmas, it's only one day, not a whole month. I am going to take a page out of your book and not sweat that day. I am going to friends', whose house I was at for Thanksgiving (Canada), and I didn't do too bad on that day. Typically, they have larger plates and smaller plates,…

Sort of newbie here. I have been on and off MFP a number of times over the past seven years or so. Original starting weight was about 350 lbs. Did really well for about a year, going to the gym and whatnot, lost about 130 lbs, so got to about 220, maybe a bit lower, but gym membership ran out and I couldn't afford to go…
