Welcome! Feel free to add me! I have been logging and active for almost 2 months and am down 12 lbs. I am trying to make lifelong changes instead of "dieting" Good luck!

Hey! Welcome. We are the same age, weight, and goals! I have done every fad diet invented and now I am ready to do it right as well. Feel free to add me. I log daily. I have been going at it for about 2 months now and have lost almost 12 lbs :-)

Ugh, I am sorry to hear this. Everyone in my office knows my goals (it is a small office) and are so supportive! I try to bring something to our carry-ins that does fit in my calories and my co-workers are good about bringing the nutrition info with there things. I'm sorry they are giving you a rough time. hang in there.

Hey, at least you have a great attitude! No one is perfect. We are not dieting, we are making lifestyle changes. There are going to be some bumps in the road. When I mess up, I always say oh, well. I can make best choices with my next bite. Feel free to add me. I am very active on MFP. Thank you to you and your hubby for…

Other things can make your skin change too (such as liver problems). I would check in with your family MD [or NP :-) ].

I plateaued for a month and my trainer recommended I do a zig-zag calorie plan. It consistes of 2 lower days, high day, 2 lower days, medium day and repeat. You can find it online

I was professionally fitted for athletic shoes and the put me in a whole size larger than I was wearing! It has made a huge difference and it was a free service. They even videotaped my barefeet on a treadmill to see my foot pattern. You make look into something like that. Though I think the elipitcal in your socks would…

Yes you have to because some (fruit especially) can make a big difference in calories and carbs (bananas, for example, can be >100 calories). I did WW before too and counting veggies and fruits was an adjustment. But to accurately food journal, you need to log everything that goes in your mouth!

I am stuck too. My trainer is having me try this zig zap calorie thing for the next two weeks. She has had luck from it. You can find your recommended numbers at freedieting.com. I will let you know if it works.

Welcome, Friend request sent!!

Taco Bell's fresca menu is resonable - about 150 cal per taco Burger king whopper junior , no mayo , is only 300 cal KFC grilled menu isn't too bad either

I have had luck with Silver jeans. Though it is touch to find the plus sizes and they are expensive (I am cheap)! Old navy are okay but a little saggy in the crotch from me.

I totally get where you are coming from. I am a medical provider and tired of being a hypocrite. Time to take my own advice. Good luck!!

Welcome Melissa! I am in my first month with MFP and so far so good. Sent you a friend request. I figure the more support, the marrier! After a lifetime of yo-yo diets, losing weight, and gaining more back, I am trying to make some permenent changes too!
