You can add me I'm looking for friends also. I have lost 60 pounds ten years ago, kept it off for four years. However; do to part laziness and a new job that is beyond sedentary almost no movement required, I gained every bit back and then some. This year is the year that I love myself and care for myself.

HI, hang in there. I know how you feel. When my cycle comes I want to eat everything not nailed down. I usually put on a pound of two of water weight. So, the pound you gained will probrably be gone next week. Try to get well first. I used to get strep every year and I know how painful it is. Every thing is going to fall…

Sure, you can add me. I am suppose to lose 2 pounds a week. 5 months at 2 pounds a week, should be 40 pounds. I will say I should have lost at least 30 pounds by then.

I agree with you. I've knocked out alot of processed foods. I still have pretzels or goldfish, but I do more veggies and fruits. I used to complain that they costs so much more. They do, but if I have a banana or apple, I'm not hungry thirty minutes later. If I eat chips thirty minutes later I want to eat again.

I am at 1200 because I opted to loose 2 pounds a week. If you opt to loose 1 pound or 1.5 the calorie intake will be more. Additionally, your lifestyle accounts for alot. I have a very sedentary lifestyle with the job I have been working the past five years. All of my other jobs were very active ( of course I didn't weigh…

Hi I am Michelle. Fairly new to this as well. Feel free to add me, I am in need of some friends also.

Sorry about all the typos.

No one had the nerve to say it to my face. However; their is a significant difference in the way I am treated now compared to when I was " thinner" at my healthy weight. Then, I was always asked out on dates, even if I wasn't being nice to the guy. Women always befriended me easily. I was always asked my opinion on issues…

I'm 5 foot 5 inches and wiegh 210. My comfort weight is 149 pounds. That is the hightest a doctor would let me go.in the past. At that weight in high school and college I wore a size 8/10 and looked great. No one could ever guess my weight. I was also extremely active. So I have another 56 pounds to go. The MFP says for my…

Hi, At work I have to do rounds. I walk sometimes30 minutes on a round and sometimes 15 minutes and I do about 6 rounds a shift. MFP says I burned about 50 calories doing the 15 min walk. Eventually try to walk more. I have alreadly lost 8 pounds in one month. I do zumba and cardio on my days off. Start slow and work your…

Personally for my cheat days I eat what ever I want for the entire day. I do it one day a week. The cheat day helps me stay straight for the other six days a week. If I don't have a cheat day, I end up binging on junk one or two days a wee. The cheat days doesn't have to mean junk all day. On MFP, my calorie intake is 1200…

Hello, I'm new also. I have 50 plus more pounds to lose. I have had success losing weight in the past, as much as 60 pounds. My issue is when I lose the weight or a majority of the wieght, I start to go back to the unhelathy eatting, and giving myself too many treats. Also, moving from NY to KY, I had a hard time adjusting…

Hi I'm Michelle, this is my first time on MFP. So far I'm liking it alot. I am also looking for friends.

I usually eat hard boiled eggs, or a fruit with tea. Some moringing I may treat myself to whole wheat toast and peanut butter. Be very careful of cereal bars and such; they have hidden sugars and other not so great unpronouncable ingredients. I was eatting those for snacks and breakfast and didn't undersatand why I was…

Wow, you are really dedicated ! I find the best time for me is when my daughter is doing her home work. I do a zumba video or cardio video. Sometimes, if her homework is light I make her go for a walk with me around the neighborhood. At first she protests, but after we walk a bit, she starts talking and forgets about the…

Hope this helps. I have been doing two protiens a day ( example 4oz. of chicken breast at lunch and 3oz of lean beef with dinner) or any lean meats and vegtables at lunch and dinner, fruit with breakfast and a fruit for snack. I've been doing whole grain rice or wheat pasta. Sticking to the portion size is the trickest…

You look wonderful!! Almost like a different person. Oh and the new hair color is fantastic.

Hello, I hope this helps your situation a little. I am also speaking from past experience of being on both sides of your daughters positon and her boyfriend's .He sounds like a great kid. He had a very difficult life and he is surviving thebest way he knows how. It sounds as though they do love each other, because they…
