Welcome to MFP, we are a bit crazy here (about fitness that is) and you will find bunches of good friends. i have been here for 8 months and will keep it up for much longer than that. Getting close to goal but will be here for maintenance so you can add me if you like. 57 here, feel free to check my diary and profile (both…

Fab success, you look amazing.
-
MIne is pretty good according to the 50lbs in 8 months and my friends, but definitely not for everyone. Lots of healthy food and treats.
-
Lol, I gave up on the recipe nutrients and started just putting everything in the recipe function, I have like 3 pages of recipes now, lol.
-
Plateau's come and go, that said, did you see a doctor before you started and have you seen one recently? Always good to get monitored, my blood work at the beginning was good, tests at 50 lbs were better but she had to up my thyroid med. So yeah, maybe there has been a change in your metabolism and it might be time for…

Now this is just me, and I've been married to the same overgrown teenager for 39 years. He tells me last year when his doctor told him change his ways or die that the reason he always sabatoged my weight loss was to keep me, he was pretty insecure I guess. But then he followed that with help me fix me and you just go ahead…

Amazable progress!

I think you just overdid it. Throttle back a bit, a friend of mine started with 10 minute walks, then 15, and after 3 months he is up to gardening for as much as 40 minutes, that is huge progress, but he did it in baby steps. You will get there, just be patient. I started on a manual treadmill at home (all I could afford…

Well the goal on my ticker is one based on my doctor's recommendation but I know now I'll be resetting it for a smaller goal when I hit the first one. However, it's back to the doc to get her permission first. So yep, doctor based.

I have a fitbit, log my food here (it syncs with Fitbit) and anything that isn't measured well by fitbit. Then use the fitbit to track sleep, steps etc. It passes excess calories back to MFP anyway so no worries. I looked at food logging over there and like the database with all it's issues better here. One note, car and…

Toss in one 8 inch skillet spayed with Pam, 4oz ground turkey, well seasoned to your taste (low salt so can't have sausage) 1/2 c ea of diced onion, yellow or red sweet pepper, and broccoli, stir up with some Trader Joe's chili pepper sauce, cover and heat till veggies are partially done, pour on 2 servings of egg beaters…

Guys (or women( like) lack that filter that says they are a civilized species. Ah well, seems to be part of a general lack of intelligent thought before opening mouth, lol. I am so glad that you handled it so well and it just fueled your desire to continue your weight loss journey instead of consoling yourself with food.…
-
Lol, skinny is not a term I would apply to you sir, more like built.
-
I double check my package if it is a member added item. MFP added numbers are usually pretty good but the companies change the product and then the website is incorrect and I doubt they have time or money to track down every change. So I do end up checking websites for the correct values also sometimes. Thank goodness for…

Don't let that mindset sneak in. Count it as done, don't put yourself in that situation for awhile, get a bit farther and see if the next trip causes you the same trouble. Seems a lot of folks here find it easier to resist temptation as time goes on. However, that said, many of us need a treat now and then to stay on track…
-
Since he is such a "kid" at heart the food diary might be the best route to go. Then when he has the reaction you can go back to the log to see what triggered it. If there were several alllergens then progress through cutting out stuff till you hit the right one. Guys as a whole tend to be really resistant to the…
-
Ok, small note here, yeah great business model and maybe well motivated, will it be successful in the long run, probably not so much. However, the idea that it is nonsense that fat people suffer from judgement of skinnier folks at the gym is someone who has their blinders on, lol. When I first started (50 lbs ago) I…

Bellingham, WA - 65 F degrees and rain today, we had sun yesterday and it almost got to 70 (dont' hate me) I feel for all of you that are having such awful heat, lived for 13 years in eastern Washington where it's in the 100's for 3 months of the year.
-
I just buy straight up protein like chicken, steak, ground turkey, etc, then steamfresh veggies and baby potatoes or steamfresh rice, and fresh veggies and fruit. I have 4 other adults at my house, all of which will resort to take out if I don't leave a list of what to do for dinner so I just say: here's what you are…
-
Well, I can't say I've ever had to move 1,000 miles but we have gone into some new towns with no friends or family and it can be a bit trying. Do you guys have a church? A motorcycle (lol)? No idea what city you will be going to but I suspect a lot of folks on here could give you ideas for that city if you just put the…
-
I don't follow his book but I do mostly eat clean. A few store bought treats now and then. If you aren't religiously strict then go ahead and add me, lol. I am more about being able to do this for the rest of my life so I am pretty flexible. My diary is open so feel free to peruse but go back to last week, I had surgery on…
-
Well there are a few twists to the fitbit, pocket not sure, I wear mine clipped to my bra, calibrated my steps to see how it did was pretty pleased after I measured my stride and realized my stride length was under the default 24 inches. Driving can trigger it recording stairs when you didn't climb them since it based on…
-
I love my fitbit, go a bit batty when I forget it, went back home one morning to get and have been known to go to the gym after work on a desk day to get my 10k steps in. So yeah, way worth it. I had been plateau'd for a month, got my fitbit and started climbing stairs and getting my 10k and have dropped 6 lbs in the month…

Ok, I am going to play devil's advocate to those who say "I never turn down a friends request". I have 59 friends right now and it pretty much takes all my spare time to try to encourage everyone at least a few times a week. I lead a very busy life (full time job and a few non profit groups I work with) and I don't have…
-
Agreed on fiber, and more unprocessed foods, instead of cookies swap in an apple or something now and them, steam some fresh veggies, stuff like that.
-
They may not help you shape up but I started wearing the skechers Tone ups a few years ago and my foot pain nearly disappeared, even on long days on concrete. The last step recently to curing it was compression socks, I had fought them forever but finally gave up after a leg vein ultrasound revealed some issues and omg, I…
-
Pet peeve for me, folks just go through and stick a positive comment on every dairy that is under on their friends list, lol. Not me, if it sucks I just don't comment or if they trust me I'll pm them and say, "hey what's up"
-
Yes it can cause long term damage to the system and yes affect weight loss later, not just when you are old but when you try to get back to eating normally. Hopefully you are under a doctor's care to eat so few calories for more than a few weeks.

It's funny, I mention MFP when I am out and about it seems like lots of folks from Bellingham are either on MFP or have a family member on MFP. Guess I should start pointing them to this forum, lol. And a lot of them are around you ladies ages.
