    in New to MFP need mom/friends to motivate me Comment by higgi7 January 2015
  • They are both good programs that teach a healthy lifestyle you can adopt for the long haul. Similar in terms of making you realize nutrition is important. I found the forums and support on MFP more helpful than WW, but found the WW weigh in in person held me very accountable. Both great programs - MFP is free though and WW…

  • It looks as if all the prepackaged foods are giving you too much sodium intake. Sodium will make you retain water. Maybe try to cut all the prepackaged stuff a bit?

  • Congratulations - That's great for all of us to remember.
    in What is your average loss per week? Comment by higgi7 September 2013
  • Lots of good advice here. Have the doctor's run all the necessary tests? Thyroid, hormone imbalance? Maybe see a nutritionist to get you started and then come back here daily. Logging your food will really make you realize how many empty calories we all consume when not paying attention. Good luck to you. I will add you as…

  • Size 10 is absolutely not fat! The average US woman is size 14... The stores you mentioned may just carry more "jr" sizes that go 5,7,9,11 and are geared towards teens and young 20's. The misses sizes go 6,8,10,12,14, etc. Maybe just shopping in the wrong stores (unless of course, you're a youngster). Anyway, a size 10 is…

  • Hi. I said it to myself, now I'll say it to all of you - I'm hoping to lose 15-20 pounds in that time period. 46YO busy Mom of 3 with full time job. Spring usually inspires me so I'm hoping to stick with it. I'm also seeking the health benefits that come with being at an ideal body weight!

  • I struggle with the same concept. I know for sure that if I ate back all my exercise calories I would gain weight. I, too, struggle with the idea of eating when you are not hungry.

  • I recommitted right when you did - january 7th. Had a good first week and actually gained a pound today (Tuesday is my weigh in just cause I started on a Tuesday) Guess what - I'm changing my weigh in to Friday!
