I have an open diary and am looking for some new/active friends. Feel free to add me.

See my profile pics for before and afters. Proper nutrition is the key - you will need to make permanent changes that you presumably didn't make after the bariactric surgery. You can do it! Best of luck. Anyone can feel free to add me for mutual support. ... Allen

I'm always happy to share mutual support. Feel free to add me.

For permanent weight loss I've found that proper nutrition is paramount. Without a change of lifestyle to get you eating right, any success will be temporary. Increasing your activity level is always a great thing to do though to improve your health and fitness. I like to walk and bike the trails in my area. We have so…

Hi folks. I'm Allen and live in the Snelgrove area of Brampton. I've lost almost 100lbs so far and am working on the last 30 this year. It's great to find other MFP'ers that live here in Brampton. Please add me if so inclined for mutual support.

^^^ This for me too. Any one can add me if they are up for some mutual support.

You're using the MFP defaults for macronutrients which are fairly low on protein. You can change them by setting custom goals. Many folks recommend 40-30-30 - that's 40% carbs, 30% protein and 30% fats - for weight loss. PM me if you'd like help setting them.

I've enjoyed each new CoD since the first Modern Warfare (CoD4). Any Elite members looking for a no pressure clan to join in order to participate in clan ops and challenges can join the Fear Tactics clan. We're looking for new members. https://elite.callofduty.com/connect/clan/view/206505

I second this. If you include some activity in your base calculation, you can't track it and eat those extra calories later. If you eat back all or most of your exercise calories, then go (http://www.myfitnesspal.com/account/change_goals_guided) and make sure your settings are set for "sedentary".* * If you change those…

Sent a friend request to you Charlie. Anyone can add me if they'd like mutual support.

Sent a friend request too. Add me.

Hi AmandaDawnRN. I am a distributor for a line of Healthy Chocolates that I'm sure you would love. They use cacao that is blanched, unfermented, sun-dried, non-roasted and cold-pressed, which means it boasts eight times the levels of epicatechins and catechins, and four times the levels of procyanidins than cacao produced…

^^^ This. Hope you can work it out so you're both happy.

If it's not hunger, consider not eating rather than finding something else to eat. Drink some water and find something to do to keep your hands and mind busy.

Also - an alternative to eating more is exercising less :smile:

Do this^^^. You didn't mention your height or weight or goals so most advice as to whether you're eating too much or too little isn't considering your own real situation. Figure out your calorie needs with those calculators yourself and make sure you're getting enough. Underestimate or disregard exercise in the…

Friend request sent. Anyone can add for mutual support. :smile:

Anyone can add me too - always looking for more mutual support. :smile:

I plan to win a small lottery in preparation for winning the big one. It'll take a lot of work I'm sure but I'm worth it. :drinker: Seriously though - my first 5k run is my goal for June/July.

Stepping on the scale and hitting it's upper limit. Didn't want to have to buy a super duty version - enough was enough. I had to make changes. Started down the road to gastric surgery but found an alternative that has worked for me. Anyone can add me for mutual support.

I only pick want I would term an interim goal weight - I don't look at it as a final destination yet. I'd like to get down to about 190 and then we'll see how things are with regards to excess skin and that sort of thing. I'm also now trying to add some lean mass (muscle) just to help build up the number of calories my…

LOL - another example of how sarcasm is near impossible to convey in print. :laugh: :drinker:

I prefer to start each day as a clean slate too. Think of it as a GPS. You plot a course from where you are now to where you want to be. Don't worry about adjusting because of where you were yesterday. Just focus on your goal and be persistently working towards it. That's my approach.

I was gonna suggest that everyone use Gary6030's profile pic with "Fired Up In February" as their own to show our solidarity. Perhaps it could be used in place of the Blue Men instead/also.

Starting weight - 230. Let's kick it!

This sounds like fun. I'm in. DIE FATTY DIE!

When I sweeten I use Splenda. Anyone can add me for mutual support.

Even BMI is a generalized calculation. Better to measure body fat with a device of some sort - or several and normalize the results - before using it in another calculation with generalizations. In the end though, it's just a target. So "close", to begin with, is good enough and you can always adjust it as you get more…
