thats my goal too! I realistically know i may only lose 10, i've been on this road many times! Good luck!

I need new friends, mine are all gone! I am back 6 years later and need some support, and its my birthday! Thanks!

Hi and welcome back! I am doing the same!

I would love to have more friends. Just starting the paleo life style full time ( I am familiar with it and eat mostly this way, but dedicating to it now that my daughter is experiencing health issues) . I have Hashimotos, (3 kids with celiac, 1 also has type 1 diabetes, and another is possibly Addisons) So we are doing it…

You can do this!

You can add me, I'm kind of new at actual keto, but followed a low carb diet for last 10 weeks, and now going keto!

Keto, does indeed make you lose weight faster. It burns fat instead of sugar, and I did the calorie restriction thing with MFP 3-4 years ago, successfully lost 28lbs, kept it off up to 6 months ago, and gained most of it back. (health and diet reasons) I am on a dr. run keto program right now, and have lost 10lbs in 13…

Ezekiel bread, egg, ham, cheese sandwhich

My motivation is how AMAZING it felt when I lost weight 3 years ago. I went into a dressing room to try jeans on, after i had lost 17lbs. I cried. It was so amazing to pick up a pair of jeans in a size I hadn't worn in 20 years, and they fit loose. It was amazing to gain the confidence to not be the "fat friend". I wasn't…

feel free to add me. I'm back again too. I need to lose 25lbs more, and I need to get back to regular fitness and strength training.

I sent request to a couple of you. I'm exactly where you are. I work from home, kids all in school, and I need some people to push me and I need some advice once in awhile. I used MFP to lose 28 lbs in 2012. It wasn't even that hard, but the last year or so, I lost motivation, had some thyroid issues, and just can't seam…

Wow! You all look so great! Amazing Job!

Me too. I'm back after gaining the weight I kept off for 3 years back, in just 3 months. I need accountability, and encouragement.

Wow great job!

Maybe your scale is broke. Just keep on keeping on, it will happen, especially if you are doing what you say you are, we all stall sometimes, you are doing great, sounds like you have energy, so just stick with it.

Awesome! Way to stick with it!

My kids have celiac, so I make their lunches for school everyday. Larabars are gluten free, and we do yogurt and fruit. I also do deer sticks, that we have processed at butcher and he tells us what he adds so I jpknow they are gluten free. My son has violent reactions to gluten, and he's type 1 diabetic, so we are super…

I'm hoping to start weight lifting program next week. I have been just eating in deficit and doing cardio here and there...I know weight lifting will help, but surgery may be required in the end...I just inherited non stretchy skin and having 5 kids didn't help...

What did you do? I am 151 at 5'9" but my muffin top is so big! I wish we could pick where the weight cones off!

Mine is stuck too, I don't think I'll ever get it off I've chipped and stripped the groove for the quarter...so frustrating! To spend the money on it and now gave nothing.

This is why parents need to step up and teach our kids love and kindness. I challenge my kids every day to look for a way to be kind and then when I pick them up from school I ask what they did. We constantly tell our kids to be kind. For every mean person, there is 10 nice ones. Feel sorry for them, for their hearts are…

This ^^^ Also get a big workout in the mornings, burn extra calories so you can eat it. Plan it.

I burn more calories according to my HRM. I am on medication that increases my HR so I always wear HRM for safety. I am also out of shape, so my heart is in shock when I exercise...ha. I eat back half.

You can do it! It's worth it, you will feel so much better! Start by walking and counting calories. You will learn so much about food and health. Be diligent, don't forget to log anything! Before you know it you'll see results!

This is me...I don't have a clue, and can't afford a trainer....

I am 5'8 and went from 170 after 5 kids, and am currently 145, I still ave a lot of fat in midsection and butt and thighs, would love to lose about 10 lb more. I weigh about the same as I Did 15 years ago at my wedding, but am not as fit as i was then, due to 5 kids, and look much heavier though same weight so weight isn't…

Thanks guys, am goin to check library! I really don't need an education on the subject so much as ideas on what to eat...I get such a foggy brain when I try to meal plan and so I like a structured start.

Depends what else you put in them...if you have alot of sugar and sweeteners, then no.

That is an awesome accomplishment! Way to go!
