I'm on my 2nd time around on MFP. I lost over 70 pounds 7 years ago, and just messed up and let it all come back and a good bit more. I have been really struggling this time around...all the added years, the new stresses,facing 40, and just having a harder time getting the weight to fall off, but I am trying it again.…

My only thought might be that even though that's what the numbers are suggesting, it's actually too few calories and your body is doing the starvation mode thing. Maybe not helpful at all, but I thought I would suggest it. I wasn't losing after it adjusted me down and I went from 2 to 1.5lbs a week to get more cals, and it…

I'm 58 pounds down and I am down about three top sizes, but NO pants sizes! I am porportional, no particularly heavy areas, so I don't know why none of that has come off the bottom half of me yet.

Hello and welcome!! Glad you are on board! There are lots of posts about filling food, great recipes, and helpful exercise tips. You just have to do a little searching the boards and you should find all kinds of great info! Best of luck to you! :)

44!

Great thoughts!! Happy Thanksgiving to you and everyone on MFP!

That's exactly it! I'm not here to lie to myself either. I had my official thanksgiving meal yesterday and I thought i would go over, but planned yo log either way. I had everything I wanted including desserts, but I watched portion size and didn't do seconds. I was full and happy, and when I added up my calories for the…

Nice! I like it

Love that! Thanks for sharing!

Great job!! Keep it up!

damnyouautocorrect.com is hilarious! I think I laughed hard enough I should be able to count that as exercise! :)

I loved what you said! lol I've turned it into a negotiation with myself! "I can have those French fries, but only this xxx many because otherwise I have to log xxx this amount" haha But I agree this site works as long as there is commitment. I'm down 23 pounds since August!

Good job!! That's awesome! 7 more pounds and I'll be joining you in the 200s!!!! Yeah!

I generally weigh myself everyday, but record only once or rarely twice a week. When I tried to lose in the past(years ago) and only weighed once a week, if I didn't lose anything I'd feel like I had failed my entire week and give up the diet feeling hopeless. I've learned that if I do it daily, I don't expect weightloss…

That's awesome!! Say hi to Hoda for all of us!

Amazing!!! You look awesome! Thanks for sharing!

I've become a fan (like someone else mentioned) of ordering what I want, but asking for the to- go box right away. I've never had a server look at me strange for that, so I assume it is more common then it seems. Now it seems I have been putting 2/3rds in the box and being full with what I have, and getting two leftover…

That sounds really good!
