Hi Amy, My name is Deborah. I am using MFP to track water intake and weight. I have been on Medifast for 4 weeks, yesterday started my 4th week, so far I have lost 20.7 lbs. I know my cal intake will not reach the amount that is suggested by MFP so I don't log meals. If you like you can add me.

I just started my 4th week on medifast/tsfl and I have lost 20.7 lbs. Most days have been easy some are challenging. I communicate with my tsfl health couch on a daily basis

16 lbs is awesome.... Its harder for people to notice change when they see you every day than every once in a while.... Give it time people will start to notice because the small changes will soon be big.... The comments are great motivators but should not the only motivator.... Congrats on a smaller size and lesser…

the nightys and baby dolls are more for me than my husband... being a stay at home mom I dont often dress up or wear things that make me feel sexy. So when I do go shopping for that something special to wear, it makes me special and sexy... Ok so it is for my husband too because to know he thinks I look sexy in what every…

my name Deborah, starting weight 242.8 goal weight for 145. nongoal weight be able to fit into a size smaller than 16 i have 2 children. i have already lost about 31lbs

For me its not really about clothes size its more of me being health and getting healthy and fit. So what ever size I am when I am 145. I started in a size 26 I am currently a 24.

my doc said 1200 min... if no exercise... for every hour my doc did say to up my cals... how much depends on how many cals you burn duning the work out... you can go in to starvation mode if you exercise a lot and do not up the amount of cals you eat... You really shoul d ask your doc for the correct advice though...

I dont count activities like house work... Dont mean to offend any one that does count house work as exercise but stuff like house work should be counted as an every day activity and not exercise... Something I think is funny this web site will not count sex as exercise but it will house work...

Thank you... my brain was not wanting to function earlier... I am on the meraina now and I like it so much more than Depo. but any who... if your concearned about your choice of birth control I would ask your doc...

I have had no problem with mine... I actually have a cycle maybe every 3 months... you might just need to change your birth control method... I cant think of the name, but it comes in a shot and you have to have it done like ever 3-6 months and it suppose to stop your periods.... and I had major problems with that one...…

Sorry I know your not asking for advice... And I am going to assume your feeding her healthy foods... I would see if a doc could run any kind of health checks on your daughter... I know a family that went through the same thing and i forget what they found wrong it, it was not genetic, the doc was able to treat it and…

When I got pregnant with my daughter I weighted some where between 230-240lbs... and it was really hard. My husband and I would like another baby.. but I am determined to lose the extra weight so I can actually enjoy the pregnancy... And plus to look pregnant instead of just extreamly fat would also be nice.... so needless…

If you need to eat the "extra" cals you earn from your workout you can... But if your not hungry then dont... but yes eat a min of 1300 after your workouts...

First of all I have read every ones comments and some are just plain rude... If your not going to post helpful things in a helpful way then you should keep your mouth shut.... Ok to answer the original post... Please do keep in mind that not every thing is going to be shown on the biggest looser, they may actually eat more…

I gained 15... and then about 20 after words...

well a safe weight loss is no more than 2 lbs a week... so we can loose about 8 a month, there are 12 months in a year so that would be 96lbs a year...so probably a little over a year...

we make a lot of ground turkey, and fish....

Journalling my cals even if I know I have eaten way over my cal goal... Drinking lots of water. The preschool I work for prepairs lunch and snacks, so eating what they serve and not going to get fast food..

Carls jr has a very good hawaiian salad, and it is low cals too.... But if you chose salads just remember if the dressing is a cream dressing like, ranch then it will be higher cals.... subway is usually healthy.. I get the turkey 6 in with lost of veggies a little bit of light mayo... Mcdonalds fruit and oatmeal is really…

I done slimfast, It did help kick start my weight loss, but i was always hungry... and eventually it did not work... I have much better sucess with just county cals and exercising... but maybe to help lower cals, drink a shake for breakfast, or lunch which ever you really dont have time to prepair... and then cut cals with…

Could be a few things, I know that malneutrion can stop periods. My experience with my cycle i usually just skip when I lose alot of weight and my body readjusts it self and then I am back to normal... I would be a great idea to see a doc

I am on mirena, and I have had no problems with it... But every one is different... Before mirena I tried the neuva ring, and with that I had major migrains... but the neuva ring has different chemicals in it than the mirena does... I would speek to your doc about the problems you are having...

12 Water (to combat the sodim loaded foods and those of you who plan to drink alcohol!) --- working on... 40 Minutes exercise--- This can include anything you choose today ! --- done... I did my Wii fit... great sadness though it did not save my work out so I dont know how many cals it says I burned

ok so my weight in is 254. water i am way under, the exercise and weight lifting I did... and i am under my cals for today...

OK I want to join... My starting wieight... I am goin to go weigh my self in a bit and then let yall know.. 10 glasses water-- I am bad... Going to start drinking now... I did 55 min of exercise with the wii fit... there was some resistance training not sure how much though... I did burn 325 cals though.. Under calorie…

That would make sense. And it would be helpful also...

You sound like me yesterday... I am learning it is ok to ask for help... I am married with 2 children under the age of 5. I am currently a stay at home mom but I am looking for employment, and sometime the house work does not get done because I am busy keeping the kids busy... a calm day for me would be waking up at 6:30…

thank you every one for your responses. I was extremely blessed today, a friend came over and helped with my house work.. I did not even ask... So I feel a little bit better about my house... not much there are still rooms that are a mess... I am not the type of person that can start cleaning and then just stop in the…

I am on Mirena IUD, but it is designed for women that have had a child already. And every 5 years I have to have it replaced.

welcome. and good luck
