Hi. I am also 5'7. And my story about weight/goals. At age 25, I weighed 125 and looked horrible in photos, way too thin. Got married and at age 35, I weighed 135 and looked much, much better. Fast forward to age 51. Weighed 183. Due to numerous reasons. Currently. Age 55. Weight 151. Goal weight. 140. No lower. I have ran…

Eat slow and savor every bite...paying attention to the flavor, etc. Instead of mindless eating you will see doing this, before you know it, you're full. And water. I drink about 6 cups a day.

No. Just REALLY watch my portions sizes and enjoy the meal. And eat very slow.

At my heaviest weight....yikes ! 37 inches Currently 34 inches Goal. 29-31 Can't wait to see that day ! Female, age 55, 5'7

Just make some friends and you will find out quickly if they work for you or not. If yes, awesome If no, just delete. No big deal. Your success with this is up to you. Sharing good days or bad is fine and a good thing, but a balance of both. That is the way I look at it anyway. Good luck. :)

I love to cook and love tamales but I have never made them either. Looks very involved plus I don't have a big deep steamer. Can anyone recommend maybe a really good tamale casserole recipe ?

I am 55. At age 51....hello weight gain, big time, as in 30 lbs. Quit smoking, menopause, love to cook/eat, dont exercise, portion sizes, far too many carbs ! And sodium...not to mention calories, and no longer work (as in walking all day and climbing 15 stairs to my office as a restaurant manager). Losing weight is a much…

Florence, OR Oregon Coast Family vacation Decided to take our boys pre teens dune buggy riding in the sand dunes. We all had our own rented dune buggy, which I was not thrilled about but...oh well. Before I knew it I was all by myself ! Miles and miles of sand every way I looked and hills, major drop offs. Had absolutely…

I have at the least, a dozen bras, most brand new, just waiting for me to drop 10 more lbs. Omg. Can't wait for that day. My hubby would be shocked if he saw the collection..

My story is a little different. I am also 5'7. Starting weight was 4 years ago and not using MFP. I have been on this website now for 12 weeks. SW 157 CW 151 GW 140-143 So I am losing half a lb a week which I am basically happy with, hey ! This takes time to do it right. I did change my calorie goal today in hopes of maybe…

I delete people when I find we are not exactly "on the same page" with MFP. As in heavy into working out and don't chat or very little. I don't feel like typing. Nice burn, good job, wtg everyday. I am not into exercise but yet quite serious about eating better and losing weight at a slow pace and have fun with this,…

Thanks for the suggestion on the cookbook ! Just purchased a copy on ebay.

Tuna with a touch of miracle whip, minced white onion and a wedge of laughing cow creamy Swiss -broiled on top.

Really ? Good news ! Hope it works for me.

Happy ! Happy with all these ideas ! Thanks.

Everyday is a weekend, when you don't work. But sometimes the grass is greener on the otherside. Perks to both sides. Balance is the key. :)

Thank you my dear. Looks marvelous ! How do you log it ? Did you put in the recipe on MFP, if so how many servings did you figure...like a 1.5 lb roast ?

As others mentioned, try eliminating certain things, one at a time. Gluten. Was my problem. Well, still is a little at times. But I stay away from it as much as possible. Boy, can't describe the difference. No more bloating, abdominal pain, etc etc and even lost weight slow, but lost. Good luck to you.

I also bought a food scale on eBay. $15. It's a Weigh Max. Small, easy to clean, fits in a drawer. Perfect.

Hubby prefers thighs, so a good combo dinner choice. Thanks.

Yum ! Is the chicken bone in considering the skin on. Thanks. :)
