@HASWLRS Congratulations on being so close to Onederland! What a good feeling that must be! @GenXMissusSpags Yes, I’m finding it helpful to check in here, too. I’m still doing well, weight still going down now that I’ve stopped drinking wine every night. I’m going to save it for the occasional weekend. If I don’t bring it…

@kholl25 Welcome! I see from your previous posts you have been here before. Did you set up your profile in MFP with your weight, height, age, activity level and target loss/week? This is what I did, and I am successful when I log my food every day and stick to the calories it gives me. We all have different calorie and…

@GenXMissusSpags Congratulations on your 5 lbs off! @HASWLRS The weather here has been quite mild for November, too. No snow yet, which is unusual for this time of year in the BC Interior. I'm not complaining! I'm down another half pound this morning, so far so good!

Well, I did a lot better yesterday. I logged everything and stayed within my allotted calories, and I was down a lb this morning. So was just water weight. I kept my starchy carbs to a minimum and so I didn’t feel like snacking in the evening.

Well, I blew it again last night. I did well up to supper last night, but then i had 8 oz of pinot grigio, which led to eating toast and marmelade. So up to 158 lbs at morning weigh in. Anyway the bottle of wine is gone, so not buying any more Im sure I will be back down tomorrow, if i stick to my logging :(

Thanks for the welcome, Lisa! Well, I will try to be consistent both with my logging and my posting here. I hadn't weighed for a few weeks and that led to overeating. I get in the mindset that if I don't weigh then I'm not gaining! Lol Anyway yesterday I estimated 158 lbs, and when I weighed this morning I was 156.7. So I…

Hi everyone! May I join in? My name is Joan, I live in Chase near Kamloops BC, Canada. I have gained 20 lbs since my husband passed away in 2017. I am now 158 lbs at 5 ft 2 inches tall, and I will be turning 81 next month. I’ve been inconsistent in logging, but it does work when I do. I find that I get snacking cravings in…

Hi Cathy, I’m trying. It’s going to be hard with Thanksgiving this weekend but I’m hoping I can just maintain!

Anyone else still here?

P.S.It asks at the bottom if you want to let other mfp members use your food

What I do is put my first name in the brand name space, eg Joan’s, then the name of the food in the next space, eg chicken soup. Then it’s easy to find

I think it depends on where you carry your weight. I always gain on my hips and belly, so a loss of 15 lbs puts me down one pants size.

My mother, who was born in 1905 in England, was illegitimate; but her mother would not tell her who her father was. Now many years later, my sister and I had DNA tests done through Ancestry and found an Englishman whose DNA marks him as a second cousin of ours. On searching the Census records, we found that my grandmother…

The formula works for me: At 153 lbs and height 5ft 2 inches, the calculator says lean body mass is 108 lbs. So for 20% fat, I divide 108 by .8 which equals 135 lbs. For 25% fat, 108 divided by .75 is 144 lbs, and i agree I should weigh between those numbers

I'm in Canada, and last year my doctor prescribed Bilastine (brand name Blexten) for hay fever, hives and itching. I found that it worked really well for me in the allergy season.

Three years ago, I started TRE. I ate 3 meals a day, starting with breakfast at 10 am, lunch around 1 pm and supper at 5 or 5:30. Then no evening snacking which was my downfall. I lost 16 pounds over the next year, but didn't change the foods I ate. So I wasn't tracking calories, but obviously I was eating less due to not…

Joan from BC. Started January 23, after gaining weight after being on keto for a year. I think it was too much fat for me, and just too many calories! Highest Weight: 159 lbs Current Weight: 156.7 lbs Goal Weight: 140 lbs 02/01 - 157.9 02/06 - 157.9 02/13 - 156.7 02/20 - 155 02/27 - 02/28 - 03/01 - 03/06 - 03/13 - 03/20 -…

@deepwoodslady, I hear you. I also try to eat lower carb, and from all my reading, I think your dietician is dead wrong. I did IF for several years, and lost almost 20 lbs. I also don't believe in eating when I'm not hungry, so I delay my breakfast until my stomach starts rumbling; usually about 10 am. I do manage to fit 3…

@GinLee61 - Great ideas, thanks! I will try some of those! This morning I had cottage cheese, walnuts and mixed fruit with sprouted grain toast and butter. 25 grams of protein.

when logging your food, enter "peeled banana" in the Add Food feature. Weigh your peeled banana and enter it.

Happy Valentine’s Day!❤️🩹 Sherry, so sorry about your mom. Where in BC are you from? I live near Kamloops.

Hi, I'm Joan, and turned 80 years old last December. I live near Kamloops, BC in Canada. My weight has crept up over the last couple of years, and I need to lose 15-20 lbs. I was on keto for the last year, but i kept gaining weight anyway. So I started MFP three weeks ago, eating a varied diet and tracking everything. It…

I quit WW when they started making fruit free. With that method, you could eat 5 bananas a day and not have to count any points. In actuality, that would be many many calories and I found this unrealistic. Then they went to making other foods free such as chicken breast. What's the point of even counting points then? I…

You dont need premium to track your net carbs. Make sure you are tracking your daily fibre intake, and just subtract it from your total carbs, and voila! That's your net carbs.
