I threw away a whole crate of clothes in transition. I was downsizing them when I went from 192 to 150 lbs. Now my plan is to get to 150-140lbs again. those were some cool clothes. Oh well.

i have no idea my total calories for today. I had planned a tuna casserole and 2 or 3 halo top ice creams just to let my mind have a play day but my aunt threw a wrench in the plan. 1 Bojangles sausage biscuit. (without jam) the biscuit was perfect <3 1 Banana. Couldn't refuse it, it made the lady I was sitting for feel…

I use it to track my food and socialize with the community. The people are what motivate me the most.

Develop a healthy life style so you can have the body you want next year. Fast weight loss is never a good idea. But without your stats: gender, age, weight, active level. there is no way to offer any assistance.

You can do it.

hello and welcome. You don't need motivation to begin. You just have to begin. Work out the fine points as you go. No one is 100 percent motivated every day. Sometimes you just have to decide that you are going to do it. But you can also actively seek motivation instead of waiting for it to find you. you can do it.

Welcome back! I hope you stay.

Welcome to mfp. Any recipe can help you lose weight as long as you are eating in portions. There is a recipe category but for the most part I use google and experiment. You'll continue to learn as you go. You'll be sharing your recipes with others in no time.

Welcome Tonya. Good start to your journey. It is a long way to go but it is a trip worth taking.

Hello Janet. That is rough. I wish you well. I've seen others who have mentioned they have lymphedema. So maybe they'll have some tips.

The biggest tip is find what works for you so that you can keep with it. Make this the last time you start because you will stay with it even when you reach your goal. you can do it.

Many of us are repeat customers! Here's to being a life long one!

The first weeks are often the easiest. just keep going and eventually you will get where you need to be. You can do it.

Very nice. You probably should repost in the fitness category. More people will be likely to respond there.

Welcome Susan. You will be successful!

you can do anything you put your mind to! Just remember it's going to take time. You are in this for the rest of your life but it will be worth it.

I've never heard of the 17 day diet but I just wanted to say hello and wish you luck!

1700 calories is likely too much if you aren't active. My stats were similar and mfp set mine to 1450 for one pound a week loss. That is being sedentary. 5'3" 217lbs. 1 pound a week loss. And I'm 52 in 12 days :)

Hello Judy. Do you have specific questions?

Welcome to mfp Mary!

Welcome to mfp Steve. You can do anything you put your mind to. I wish you success.

Hello Debbie. That has to be rough. Losing weight is more about how you eat than how you exercise. Neither requires having a schedule. It also doesn't have to be hard. What you need to do is figure out how to work it into your life style. Meal prep might be one solution. I just made 8 meals. I ate one. the rest will feed…

Welcome Charlotte. We are happy to have you.

Welcome to the group!

Welcome Sherry. You are never too young to get healthy and enjoy life!

Hello Ryan. Is there specific questions about either that you are looking for? Are you trying to decide which is better? The only style that matters is one you can maintain for the rest of your life. To lose weight you have to be in a calorie deficit. What you eat is less important. You can over eat as a vegetarian,…
