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…

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! 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.

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.

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…

I will do my best! I think it would be good to have a challenge!

Hi! I too am addicted to sugar. Thin people say oh, this cake is too rich for me to eat, not me, bring it on! I found out the more I eat, the more I'd want so I try my best to leave it alone. Eventually things get a little better. Eat something more healthy.

Have never used it but wanting to try. Can anyone tell me where to find PB2?

Hello, Hannah! I just joined this group minutes ago! It is just great to have God in the middle of all we try to accomplish! We CAN do all things through Christ who strengthens us! I am 61 years old, weigh 291 lb now (I have lost10.5 lb) and feel like I have been fighting this battle with my weight. In my lifetime I have…

SW:301.5 CW:291 GW:175 I have been using myfitnesspal for about 6 weeks. Still feel like being new, still learning. Sure could use some motivation to keep me going!:smile:

Oh, yes........... Sweating to the Oldies! Just got this DVD and am ready to try it!

"Hi," Becca! My name is Marca and I need to loose about 140 lbs. I have been at my goal at least 2 times in my life time. I am 60 years old and like you, it is time to become really serious about my life. I am not in good health. I just try to not think of how far I have to go and just take one day at a time. It is hard…
