Sounds very much like my story, I have been successful on many times, the most I have ever lost was 70 lbs when I challenged myself to go vegan for 10 months. I became ill and ended up in ICU with an obstructed airway and had to be intubated with a 5mm tube for 6 days (they still do not know what caused this.) Because I…

I would love to make new friends to keep me motivated. My name is Angela but my friends call me Appy!

I have not tried work competitions really but I am competitive but I agree with Jruzer, I don't care about the encouragement. I need the scale to encourage me and my pant sizes. When you start to get "friendly moral support" you also begin to get unsolicited advice, or criticisms and everything doesn't work the same for…

I have the same issue since coming back to MFP, I never had a fitbit before but now that I do I thought it would be awesome to combine the tools for optimum tracking but it isn't working. I have been doing it manually the best that I can.

It hasn't been terribly accurate for me, I lost 21 lbs, and approx 14" (not looking at my measurements right now) my first month even though this app said I would lose 8lbs in 4 weeks. Everyone is different I guess, don't pay too much attention to that. Just make sure you are in a caloric deficit and you will lose weight.

I really don't have a schedule per say, I follow my body it tells me when I need to eat. But an alarm might make me stop what I am doing at work and eat the snack that I from time to time miss. I really haven't even been taking my meal prep too terribly serious. Every night before I meal prep for the following day. It…

Thanks so much this is what I am doing actually just because I didn't really know what to do at the gym, so I would go from one machine to the next since I can't run on the treadmill (torn ligaments in my ankle). I would walk on the treadmill about 30 mins and then go to the shoulder press machine, do 5 sets of 20 45 lbs,…

So it is possible to lose fat and gain muscle at the same time. I feel this is what has been happening with me, my scale stays the same but I am going down in sizes and fitting into target garments as well as losing inches. I think this is the way I would like to approach my journey.

So should that be a persons plan if they want to lose about 50-70lbs? I am at a deficit now, and I am losing with some light to moderate weight lifting and cardio, but I didn't know if the best approach is to go low calorie deficit and lose the fat then follow back around with strength training to tone and build muscle at…

I am 5'1" tall and My SW (1/27/2014) was 235lbs and my current weight is 214lbs. I have lost 4% body fat and a little over 9.5 " total. I really haven't rewarded myself with anything but I do periodically try and buy clothes that are not tarps since I no longer wish to cloak my body. My goal weight is 125lbs.

I noticed that it is really low if it calculates it at all. I had done the calculations on another site(Health Status dot com) and plugged them in under cardiovascular just to get a rough idea of how many calories to add to my day. I am only weight training to lose weight and tone. I am only able to really do that until my…

So I fell off the wagon with my weight loss and only got back on January 27, 2014. I had gotten up to 235lbs and as of my last weigh in I am now 214lbs, I am in a better place with my weight loss now. In fact it isn't a diet or even a journey I have just changed the way I eat and I have committed to moving every week in…

Great job, you are doing wonderfully. I too think I will use MFP as long as it is available, it lets me know where I have wiggle room in my intake.

Great Job, you look fantastic! Way to burn those calories!

I am shaped and losing the same way, none of my progress pictures really look like progress because of it. Congratulations on your success and I am assuming onderland is the 100's? If so great and hope to join you soon.

I have read this and been told this by my nutritionist, it is your weight divided by 2. I am not there yet either but I am close some days. May try that water log app.

Well I have just restarted my journey for the billionth time, but my rule of thumb has always been water is water. I don't do well with drinking as much water as I should, I guess it would be easy to count anything with any drop of water in it as water but what would be the real benefit in that? There would not be any…

Thanks for the welcome!:happy:

@chrisja Thanks, I am pleased with it but trying to remain realistic, I realize that number will more than likely drop this month although I would like to see another month like that, who wouldn't.

@yokurio Thanks will, do :smile: . I really wish I had an I phone so I could log my meals and excercise as I go by the time I can pull out my laptop I have to really think long and hard about what I have done that day or sometime over a few days. I am encouraged everyday I keep forging ahead.
