  • No offense but that doctor is an idiot. Or perhaps he was trying to goad you in to doing it. Congratulations on your loss and continued success. I admit that at 72 it is much harder for me to lose that it was at 50 or 60 but it is doable if we do it.

  • Thanks for the Challenge! My WW WI day is Monday so I'll post on my official WI # and since I gained 3# over the two weeks of Christmas/Birthday/New Years I'll just start there. Starting weight -189.3# June 2008/170.06# March 2007 January starting weight - 166.7# January goal - 161# Ultimate goal -149# Jan 1st -166.7# Jan…
  • I'd have to say the british psychologist is bad for your mental health! Really? It is beautiful music of beautiful times and memories. If you don't like it simply don't listen to it. If I don't like something that is playing I turn the station, change stores, turn off the TV/radio/stereo/whatever device I have on and go on…
  • I hope I can find this when I get home tonight. I've changed my name to Duncan, as in Duncan Yo'yo.
  • Every morning after necessities and before coffee. Officially my WI is Monday night at Weight Watchers meeting but I monitor myself daily. It helps keep me on track. Then Monday I record my early morning and my WW WI to compare my trend and accomplishments, or not.
  • Congratulations! I know that feeling well and still head for the "fuller figured woman's" department.
  • If I am truly eating to lose weight I also find it hard to consume 1200 calories and shoot for 1050 but don't always make it and many times I overshoot even the 1200. If you are eating healthy foods and are fully satisfied I can see 800 - 900 calories BUT if it is filling and not satisfying {there is truly a difference}…
  • I’m age 67 ¾ and have my 50th High School Graduation Reunion on September 30 & October 1, 2016. I’m currently 30# LESS than graduation weight but want at least another 5# off by the end of the month. Sunday is my official WI day although I weigh daily: Starting Weight: 162.9# August 28, 2016 Current Weight: 161# September…
  • Balaru, My GLOW {God Loves Older Women} group meets weekly at Golden Corral. You may not be able to measure exactly but most of GC dishes are actually in MFP and you can guestimate. I go for the Fajita chicken and get 3 - 4 pieces of that, a small pork loin steak about the size of the palm of my hand, 6 brussels sprouts, a…
  • December 2010, age 62, hummingbird in flight for my birthday present from self. I'd always wanted a tattoo but was not allowed, it wasn't acceptable for ladies {back in my time} then life just kept going and I let the dream go dormant. My husband died from liver cancer in January 2010 and I decided I was going to do…
  • I do the same thing. That is considered correct IF you are actually taking the exact portion the NI is for. 1/2C beans must be measured to make sure it is 1/2C not 2/3 or 3/4. One slice of bread is one slice of bread; 5 crackers is 5 crackers.
  • Reassess your calories - what are you eating? You may be within your caloric boundaries but how many carbs, sugars, unhealthy fats are included there? Are you getting plenty of water - not sodas but water? Plenty of protein to keep you from those #inbetweenmeal dips? Have you taken all fats from your diet? There are many…
  • Half & Half also has a fat free that is very tasty. I normally drink my coffee straight out of the pot with no additives but occasionally I want something different and the Fat Free Half & Half works wonderfully. I also indulge in the flavored liquid creamers occasionally as a special treat - loving the Pumpkin Spice…
  • I use both - WW since 2008 and lost 45.8# to make lifetime. Thought I could do it on my own so with life kicking me around I quit and gained back 20# - my doing. I found MFP in 2011 and have been religiously logging my calories here and honestly that is all I've been doing - not lost but gained. Again my doing. Yes the…
  • I am a paying on-line member of WW and use MFP for the calorie count. I didn’t think I’d like the new Smart Points plan because I have a problem with some of the ‘new’ philosophy and the person it is coming from but decided WW worked before and has been working since the 1960’s and it hasn’t failed yet if the plan is…
  • TEXAS! :sweat_smile: B)
  • Don't think of it as a diet (we freak ourselves out with that word) but a healthy lifestyle change for a better way of life and for our lifetime. Never tell yourself 'I can't have' but allow yourself a small portion - portion control is very important. Make small attainable goals along your way and take a positively…
  • Well go figure. I figured out how to do it. I simply went to the search bar and put in Free Recipe Builder and from there chose the link http://www.myfitnesspal.com/recipe/calculator and it took me right to it! No problems but still can't access it from my own account. :\
  • Hon my first question is WTH were you doing on the online dating service to begin with? There is more to this than 'my husband is on an online dating service & I’m monitoring his every move'. Is he into porn and this is his way of making it okay? Is he really cheating or thinking of it? Are you cheating or thinking of it?…
  • Then as I'm praying this morning God dropped this song in my heart: Nothing Is Impossible Artist: Planetshakers Album: Deeper Genre: Christian I’m not gonna live by what I see, I’m not gonna live by what I feel [Pre-chorus:] Deep down I, Know that You’re here with me I know that, You can do anything [Chorus:] Through You,…
  • Actually a very good average is 1/2# - 1# average per week. Some weeks you will lose more, but hopefully not more that 2# on average. Quick weight loss isn't good ~ after all we didn't get to MFP overnight so we shouldn't expect to get to goal overnight. I think your choice is a good one - IMHO Also, remember to measure…
  • I like the 'to think' list idea. I can so understand. On days when I don't spend a time talking with & praising the Lord I can really tell the difference in my attitude at work and at home.
  • Yes we all do Melanie and the most wonderful aspect of that is that His grace is sufficient - all encompassing.
  • I am so totally impressed with all of these positive stories and events you are telling about. I am a 65 year old 'fat kid' and loved the statement the gentlemen "headofphat" put that "It felt good to hear it but i shed a little tear because my credibility as a fat kid is gone." I was that fat kid - 2nd fattest kid in 1st…
  • Welcome neighbors! MFP works well with Weight Watchers and I think you will enjoy the service. I am a Lifetimer with Weight Watchers and have used MFP for 2 1/2 yr now to keep track. It helps put a new perspective on the PPVs.
  • Day by day, moment by moment I need the Father's help. Please Lord, grant me Your favor. Amen
