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.

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:
