I make sourdough bread. It is really nice to be able to get a starter from a friend or a sister as I was able to. She always used bread flour as the recipe calls for. I found out just all purpose flour does just as well. Thanks for the tips you have on here. Suppose I will try it with wheat flour also. Am enjoying this…

Welcome, my name is marca_june and I am 63 years old. I have lost 41 lbs and still have at least 60 or more to lose. I am in need of new friends for motivation and will send motivation your way too. I will send a friend request as I finish here.

I have a problem about getting my day streak taken away. I know I have over 200 days being on here and now I have 2! We have other things to do besides of being on here all day. One time I was in the hospital a week when it happened. I got logged on everyday except one of those with help. I don't have a smart phone or lap…

If you first don't succeed try, try again! Number one rule," Don't ever give up"! Remember why you want to lose weight. The first reason should be for yourself, then for your health. I still have a lot to lose. I have lost 36 lbs. so far! I would love to encourage you in your weight loss journey if you will encourage me!…

I abandoned 1200 calories also! It is simply okay for some people and not for others. I lost and gained for almost a year also and got to thinking about it. MFP wanted me to be on a 1800 calorie program but I felt that was way too much. So I started eating 1400 calories and had a nice loss the next week. If this didn't…

Well, here I am bringing up the rear! We used to chop cotton (that was a long time ago!) for on of daddys' friends and he would say, I don't lead my workers, I drive them. We would laugh cause we knew he was kidding! Oh memories, no one can take them away! I had a great loss this week, it surprised me. I lost 4.75 lb. but…

I couldn't lose on 1200 cal. so I went up to 1400 and now I am losing weight! Sometimes your body will go into starvation mode and it hangs onto the weight it has!

Hi! Welcome to this group! I usually put a quote on my site each day, one goes like this: When you get to a plateau, think of it as a landing on the stairway to your goal and maintenance is a lifelong plateau. So a bit of "rehearsal" for maintenance isn't the worst thing in the world. The secret to this is to never quit…

Hi! I am 63 years old. I still have almost 120 lb. to lose. I would like to be a friend so we can do this together. I will do my best to motivate you and I need all the help I can get! We just got to make up our minds and say we want to do this, we can and will do this together. I like to set small goals and work hard to…

"Hi". I am here. My name is Marca Pennington. Welcome to My Fitness Pal! It's wonderful that you are wanting to maintain and get fit. It takes a lot of work to do so and great to have people to cheer you on! I am not able to work out or do much exercise. I do what I can. I know there are a lot of people on here that does…

I don't take any vinegar but I have heard of people taking a tablespoon at bedtime to help to lose weight! You can also get pills with it in them as a supplement. So you make the decision to take or not.

I would really like to join in with the group! I think it is a great idea. Thank you for getting it started! It is a challenge and help one to be accountable in our weight loss journey! I am proud of being a part of this group. So with that, everyone have a great day tomorrow! See everyone this coming Wednesday evening,…

I'd be happy to join in the May challenge. I would like to lose 5 lb. again! I lost 4.5 lb. last month and was happy with that! A very good motivator! If anyone would like to be friends, that would be wonderful! Thanks and good luck everyone!

Please don't EVER give up! Do it for you...... Focus on other things besides food. Prove it to YOU. You are worthy. Your friends on MFP will give you the motivation you need if your family will not support you! If you have to get on your computer and talk(type) to them and they would be glad to help you get through each…

Yes, I had lost 100 lb. and regained it all back over a period of time and have decided to lose it again so I am really trying! When I lost all the weight, I thought it was okay to eat some of the foods I used to eat that I really enjoyed. Then the old habits came back! I had to realize that the good habits are made for a…

Wow! 800 calories? You should be eating at least 1200 calories! I was eating 1200 calories and wasn't loosing and I started eating between 1400 calories and now I am loosing! You can increase your calories and see if it will make a difference.

Sorry, I haven't checked in with everyone! Hope all are doing well. Looks like it, I been reading and seen lots of ideas and tips on losing our 5 lb. I may make it, well I should . On the 2nd I lost 1 lb. and on the 9th I lost 31/2 lb. Never know what the scales are going to say! Just keep up the good work and we all can…

Have been doing these everyday and planning to do them the rest of the week. Thinking after this week maybe do 2 of them a day and work up to doing all of them each day. I know it will help me. Just checking in!:flowerforyou:

Yes, I will join in! Thank you for posting. This will give me a boost in my weight loss!

Yes, I will do my best to do this. Need more exercise and most all of us can do these exercises. Thank you for posting this challenge! I know it will help get me moving more and help me in my weight loss. Am trying to walk more too If this weather will just get warmer!:happy:

I have been on a 1200 calorie diet for quite a while. I would lose a little, gain a little and didn't understand what was going on. It did finally make me actually think, MFP recommend that I use 1870 calories a day! Also when I sometimes ate a little less than 1200, a note would pop up telling me I was not eating enough…

All of these ideas are great but is crochet that bad? You may even enjoy it now!:flowerforyou:

marca_june Need more friends and motivation!

Sounds really good! Gotta try this recipe! Thanks for posting it!

I am having a very hard time this week and last week to get things going! I have had depression for about 30 years and it'll just sneak upon you. Have stress in my life............. So it has been very hard to get it going. Need some extra motivation. It is not going to be easy all the time. Have had weeks without a…

This is good. Use chocolate cake mix and blend in 1 can of pumpkin. Then bake as directed. It may be a little more like browines than cake. It is also good to use a spice cake mix. Hope you will like this!

HEY, YOU HANG IN THERE, I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY TIMES i HAVE STARTED AND STOPED CHANGING MY FOOD HABITS. I AM GOING TO DO THIS AND i KNOW YOU CAN TOO. YOU ARE A HUNK NOW JUST DO EXERCISE AND SHAPE UP, GET WITH THE PROGRAM. THEN WOW!!!

I am not able to exercise at this time! Sorry.......

AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!! And great to read His Word each day! He helps me get through each day, One Day At A Time! Got outside and enjoyed His creations today! The sky, wind, birds singing, buttercups blooming early,etc. God is still in controll!

Hi! It still seems like I am new to myfitnesspal but I have enjoyed 6 weeks of learning, relating to people going through some of the same problems that I do and using the food journal, etc. I have lost 11 pounds and look forward to reaching to my small goad of 20 lbs. I have115 more to go. Getting there One Day At A…
