I weigh everything I eat on a food scale. I try to use low calorie vegetables so I can eat larger portions.

@just_Tomek Thank you for sharing! I may give it a try.

Yes, eating lots of fruits and vegetables make me feel bloated. I know it’s just temporary so I don’t worry about it. And eating healthy food is good for me. 😊

I’m about my 3rd week in with MFP. I am 55 and have about 40 lbs to lose. Could use some motivation and encouragement! Please add me. 😊

I’m looking for more active friends as well. You can add me! 😊

Happy belated birthday! And great job!

@bettychk I’m a full time student, online classes, and sit all day. That is one of the reasons it is hard for me to lose weight. I’ve been active off and on since I was 18 yo (I preferred to read rather than play as a child...still do). At 18, a friend invited me to a dance aerobics class ( Jane Fonda days) and that was…

Hi Betty! Im new here. According to my Gyn I’m almost on the other side at menopause at 55. I have struggled with my weight most all of my life. I have lost to my goal weight 3 times only to foolishly deceive myself into thinking I had it whipped and could eat the same as my slim friends do! Yeah, 3 times to learn that…

Great job! I’m so proud of your accomplishments!

Congratulations!
