  • I really wanted to try it; but it was too high in sodium for me.

  • I'm 5ft and would love to lose 50lbs but at my age I don't know if that is realistic. I lost 30 about 3 years ago and gained most of it back. I need to find motivation again. Right now I have none and am feeling really bad about myself.
  • Yup; me! Just started back January 5th but the weekend is here. I probably won't indulge this weekend because at the beginning I try to be really strict with myself. But as I begin to lose I reward my self with a glass of wine or something on the weekend. I am just glad it is winter because I tend to drink a lot more in…
  • Thanks. He is 5"8" about 300 pounds. Says he goes to the gym after school but right now idk.
  • Good for you! It is so hard to get back on track. I'm struggling.
  • Feel free to add. Last year I did great. I logged everyday and lost 30 pounds. I want to lose another 20-25. This year I am struggling. Hopefully we can motivate each other.
  • Hi all. I log in daily. I'm on day 250 something. Feel free to add.
  • I also think it is due to genetics. My children are 17 and 20. I gained 30 lbs the first time and close to 70 lbs (!!!!) with my second. I am very lucky to have no stretch marks on my stomach. I have a few on my hips and things but that's all. I hope my daughter is as lucky when she is pregnant.
  • I get frustrated when I scan an item and the bar code is wrong. I don't get that. Manufacturer error?
  • It took me about 6 months to lose 30 pounds. I have about another 25-30 to go.
  • I eat 1200 and have since I started. Occasional I go over but I try not to. Feel free to add.
  • Hello everyone. I am 5 feet. I started at 174 and as of this morning am 141 :happy: My goal(right now) is 120 but I want to see how I look. I have found that watching my calories works much better for me than exercise. So for now I am focusing on diet.. Feel free to add.
  • Definitely depends on the guy. I am very short (5 feet) but curvy. My boyfriend is very into the hourglass figure and worried that as I lose weight that will change. I have to keep reassuring him that my body type has been the same since I was 12 and thin so for me no matter what I weigh I will never have an athletic…
  • Thanks everyone. I'm short; only 5 feet. I've cut back on my exercise because when I do I don't see any weight loss and that frustrates me. Right now I want to focus on getting closer to my goal weight and then work on toning my body.
  • At home; alone; in my basement. I did last week. In public- never. But I'm 47 years old. If I was 27 maybe.
  • Good thoughts and friend request sent.
  • I was over by about that much yesterday. Had some wine and kettle corn. I tried not to worry about it too much Today was a new day.
  • Yes. I find if I restrict I tend to binge.

  • Hi Kelly I have lost 30 so far and have 25-30 pounds to go. Right now I am at a stand still and trying to work my way through it. Feel free to add me if you would like.
  • I decided I am going to " take a week off" from exercise and be strict about my calories as if I am working. If I drop some pounds I will know what I will need to do for the rest of the Summer. Thanks for the replies. .
  • I also log in daily. Right now I am at a stand still an very frustrated. Usually I am very motivated though. Feel free to add :)
  • Grandpoobah funny you mention that. About a year ago I did a body transformation challenge at my gym at lost 2 pounds. I was working out about 6 days a week. Maybe I need to reach my goal first and then exercise to tone. Maybe exercise does not help me lose weight forvsomevreason.
  • I track my alcohol calories but I don't drink very much anymore and I'm almost twice your age. Probably not the answer you were looking for. Have a happy 4th.
  • Hahaha. Not awful at all. I won't tell any of my real life friends about MFP because I don't want them to find me for the sme reasons you stated. In real life I'm a pretty private person but it is a little easier to share here since we are all struggling. Feel free to add me I'm always looking for new friends; as long as…
  • That's wonderful :) Congratulations!
  • Thanks! I'll have to look for those at Walmart. Always looking for new low calorie breakfast ideas. This sounds wonderful.
  • I totally understand where you are coming from. I have lost 30 pounds also and have barely lost a clothing size. I like you don't get it. I am wearing the same bras and underwear. My jeans had stretch so now they are not tight but I can still wear them. It took a 30 pound loss for people to notice. I only have 30 ponds to…
  • Thank you for sharing. I have trouble not focusing on the numbers on the scale. Your photos are proof that other things do matter. Amazing job!
  • I am 5 feet and started at 174 pounds. I have lost 30 and want to lose at least another 25; then I will see how I look and feel at at 120 pounds and take it from there. Feel free to add me :)
  • Hi. I am currently 47. I have lost almost 30 pounds here and right now feel I am at a plateau. I don't work over the summer so I hope to start exercising next week and lose another 30 pounds. Feel free to add me as a friend :smile:
