  • I am 48 years young and have just made up my mind last year that I am SICK of being obese and not feeling good. In September of last year I watched a program on The Doctor's show about the 17 Day Diet. The author says that we can do anything for 17 days. I have found that to be true! Every 17 days my eating plan changes. I…
    in Getting sick of "Trying it again" Comment by ottersln February 2012
  • I goggled TBEE and BMR and came up with 1475 calories per day to lose 2 pounds a week. Around 1949 to lose 1 pound a week. Using the BMR on MFP I came up with 1362 per day. A big enough difference but not as big as I thought it might be after reading comments here. My issue is I have a hard time eating that much HEALTHY…

  • Hi Gale! I her your frustration and your determination. I am 48 years young and Mimi to a 2 year old grandson and 8 month old grand daughter. They are my motivation for losing this weight I've been carrying around for 17 years. I know that diabetes is in my future if I do not get my body in shape. For me that means eating…

  • I shop at Goodwill, garage sales, and other consignment shops and buy a few good pieces to get me through to the next size. I am donating all my fat clothes so I am not tempted to just gain it all back... It's the right thing to do but it hurts to give away the clothes that I adore. As someone else said its fun to shop at…

I'm doing it the old fashioned way (eat healthier and exercise my back side off) but she's says that Medifast works for her and she really doesn't have time to exercise with two babies under two and…
    in This has been a long journey Comment by ottersln December 2011
  • I hear you and feel your frustration. I have been within 10 pounds of the same weight for over 17 years and felt like I was never going to lose it. There is such a thing as too much water so be cautious about that. I'd say no more than 8-10 8 ounce glasses of water a day id more than enough for most people. What has worked…
