If you go to a site called HEALTHY WEIGH FORUM.ORG they have calculators where u put in your weight, activity level, etc..and it will calculate for you. But please consider more than one source before making a decision. Your Doc may have a chart. Some Doctors are good at weight loss advice and others not. One disadvantage…

I eat chocolate eggs at Easter. lol But I don't think the Veggie Chicken could be so bad every now and then.

What helped me was trying to include a salad at least 3 or 4 days a week no matter what else I ate. Often I would have a couple of 'quiet times' during the day to relax with coffee or tea and maybe a low calorie snack. Also I allowed myself a few more than the 1200 on weekends..up to around 1400. That gave me something to…

And...I might be mistaken..BUT..I think most everyone in my Monday night Weight Weight Watchers class 'ain't from 'round here'!

There are a lot of people from up North around here just as overweight as the next person. I do not see that we choose any less healthy than a lot of people from anywhere else does. Though..that lady with the baby..certainly chose wrong.

I want to wear a sweater in the Fall without a 'fat roll' hanging over my jeans!

What I do is log my first meal of the day when I wake for the day. People do it either way though. I think it is a matter of choice.

I do that every now and then when I feel I am starting to eat too much. It help me get turned around and back on track. A lot of people do it to get started.

If you look up 'binge eating disorder online help' it will take you to some great forums that you can meet friends and discuss problems and share ideas. I beleive one is called Psych Central.

For me adding a little protein like a small piece of cheese with my popcorn or crackers helps.

25 calorie hot chocolate.

Look at someone your age that expresses the same image you would like to express. Maybe a friend. Someone on TV? Anybody that is about your size, age, etc. I always think to myself..'Dress to express..not to impress'..therefore my hippie style. lol

Good Monday morning everybody! I did not lose anything all week. I was over in cals 2 days but also under 2 days. I am tired of walking the same neighborhood..same places. I was lazy with walking last week. It was like no matter what coat I had on..I was freezing! Ok..New week. New Day. My goal for the day is to walk at…

Sometimes..if you are new to a healthy eating plan ( and I do not know if you are or not)..but sometimes motivation runs pretty high during the 'honeymoon phase'. It will pass....trust me. Meanwhile...keep tracking and don't let yourself get too hungry..and binge!

When I graduated high school in 1969 at age 17..I weighed 117. By Summer's end I was gaining weight. It has been an on going battle every since. I am in the140's now. But I have been way higher than that! The difference to me has been this. When I was younger, I lost faster. Now I only lose at about a pound a week. And for…

Interesting. 1982. I just looked it up. I'd love to hear your story. Send me a friend request(if you want to that is.)

There used to be a sugar free fat free creamer from International Delight. I can not find it anymore. This is a hard one! I have tried everything! I now mostly use those flavored drops. But they are not the same at all. I love creamer! So I will be watching this..to see what you find! Thanks for posting.

My goal is to lose 3 more pounds by March 31. (I do not lose fast) I was 148 this morning at home. ( less a couple days ago) I go up and down a few also.

This morning I was up 3 pounds at #148. I am always up & down by 3 pounds. It is 8:45 PM ish now. I made Weight Watchers' Cabbage Soup at 75 calories a cup for Supper. Today was a dog sitting day at my daughter's house. Her house is filled with tempting snacks. However rather than eat any, I left her my unopened bag of…

I was not very motivated today at all. However I finished under my goal of 1200 calories a day. I also am going to bed with a water ( and my Kindle ) . My dog has been ready for some time. However I have been too busy reading message boards. lol Nite to all. ((hugs))

It's possible that calling it a 'cheat day' might have a lot to do with feeling so guilty about it. Often it is the way we perceive a problem rather than the problem itself. If you are losing weight this way..and you said you are. And you have chosen a trainer you trust to guide you and he has suggested you eat a larger…

I think you might feel more motivated as you begin to meet some goals rather it be clothing size or scale weight.

I go to meetings once a month as a 'lifetime member' which means I only pay once a month or not at all if at goal. For me it is more of a sentimental thing. I worked very hard to earn the lifetime membership.I hate the smart points plan. But I do like weighing in and having it officially recorded. I count calories on MFP.…

Hi Trever. Me too..I just like the sound of 2017. I honestly feel this will be the year I will hit goal and stay there. Don't let the anxiety or whatever feeling u have about meeting your father deter you. Likely the anxiety will get worse before it gets better. Sounds like a long and challenging road ahead for you. If u r…

10 pounds a month seems extreme for a female. Everybody...please be careful.

If MFP had an in person meeting it would be perfect. Calories never ever change! I always loved Weight Watchers but now they are flip flopping all over the place. Even the meetings are more disorganized. Still..I count calories AND points I never switched to Smart Points though.

Raisin Bran with Almond milk, Diet Coke and coffee.

My list is very long.

Please get ur Doc to refer you to a nutritionist or Dietician. Since it takes healthy eating to heal..they might not want u dieting on ur own. They might even suggest special vitamins etc. I sure hope you will get better soon. Keep us posted?

As for me...I can NOT be trusted around Protein bars. I promised myself today if I ate more than one..I would throw them away and never buy them again. So now, they are way across the yard all crumbled in small pieces in the grass waiting for the morning crows!
