  • I'm returning as well. I tried WW, but didn't really like the points program. I've slowly gained 30 lbs in the past ten years. I'm 62 and hit 170 lbs this morning. This cannot continue so I'm trying MFP again. I HATE to exercise, but I'm pretty good at eating healthy and not eating a lot of sugar or snacks. Is it possible…
    in Trying again, needing support Comment by candacedon July 2017
  • I'm also one of those super skinny girls where it was easy to maintain my weight (127 lbs and 5'7") until I hit 40. After that, the lbs. started creeping on until one morning, I hit 150 lbs at 55 years old. I felt awful. I'd gone up two sizes in my clothes. That skinny girl was still inside me but I couldn't figure out…

  • Sugar free jello and whipped cream or a small square of chocolate usually gets me through when the sweet monster attacks about 9:30 or 10:00 p.m.

  • I'm 5'7" and weigh 144 lbs. Looking at these posts, I feel like a heifer. I'm a solid size 8 and trying to lose about five to seven lbs. to get down below 140 lbs. where I'm more comfortable as far as fitting in my clothes. I'm also over 50, which makes a difference. I'm pretty sure I won't ever see the 127 lbs. I weighed…

  • I weigh in daily just because I need to keep myself on track. If I have an unusually 'bad' weigh in one morning, I know to up my exercise and really watch what I eat the next couple of days. I do have to fight the urge to beat myself up if I put on a lb. or two, but as long as my weekly total is less than the previous…
    in How often should/do you weigh yourself?? Comment by candacedon June 2012
  • I'm in the same boat. I've always been underweight and it used to be easy to stay at a consistent weight and just drop a few pounds in a couple of days if I went overboard. Since turning 50, it's turned into a roller coaster. I'm 5'7" and went from the low 130's when I was in my 40's to almost 150 lbs. Not only was I…
    in anyone slightly overweight like me? Comment by candacedon June 2012
  • Same story with me. I initially lost about 10 lbs in the first two months and then lost another three or four in March, but seem to be stuck at 137-138 for the past month. I just can't seem to get below 137 for some reason even though I'm doing all the right things (most of the time anyway). Starting weight: 150 Current…
    in Lose 5 Pounds in May Challenge Comment by candacedon May 2012
  • I'm also 5'7". I weighed about 125 when I was in my 30's. I hit 150 in January which is when I started using this app on my iPhone. Since then, I've lost about 11 lbs and am finally below 140. I hope to NEVER go above 140 again. My goal is to get to 135 and then see how it goes from there. I'm happiest at around 130 but…
    in 5'4. Girls what are your weight goals Comment by candacedon February 2012
  • I also weigh myself every day and have been since high school. I'm 57 years old, 5/7" and currently 142 lbs. I small boned and have always maintained my weight pretty easily. I used to weigh in the mid 130s. However, over the past three or four years, I've noticed that not only does my weight not seem to stay level, I seem…
    in daily weigh-in club Comment by candacedon February 2012
  • I'm just discouraged. For the past week, I've been recording every morsal I eat, staying within my calorie guidelines, eating healthier, exercising every day but after an initial loss of about 3 lbs, I seem to be gaining about a half a pound a day to the point that I'm just about back where I started. I don't want to give…
