That sounds like a lot. Many people find success here and you can too! Congrats on making a decision pointing you in the right direction. Welcome!

I really like Sun Basket. The meals are not prepared so you do have to do the cooking but most only take 30 minutes and the quality is excellent. The meals have really helped me with my meal planning and calorie counting. So great to not have to worry about what I'm going to make that will stay within my plan. And my…

You must feel wonderful! I'm 7lbs from that goal myself and I cannot wait!! Thanks for the inspiration and congratulations!! Another 40 after that for me too... :)

Hi Everyone. Just found the over 50 group. My name is Lisa and I'll be 58 in October. This is my third time trying to lose weight with MFP. Currently at my lowest weight in 20 years having lost 57 of my 80lb goal. Really should lose 100 but I'm probably not vain enough to deal with the last 20 but we'll see! Looking for…

Well done!

That is truly incredible. I hope you are fantastically proud of yourself. Congrats!

Good for you! Congratulations!! You must feel terrific.

What's important is that now you're back at it. You can do this! Weight loss is hard but you already know you can do it. Congratulations on giving it another go.

It's perfectly fine to take a break from your plan and enjoy food on vacation. I've had several vacations during my weightloss journey over the past seven months and I've still continued to lose weight over the long run. My vacation strategy was to still get in my 10,000 steps, be very aware of drinking a TON of water and…

I feel your pain. I would love to be losing more weight in my stomach but my body has other plans. My wrists have gotten so small it's crazy how loose my bracelets are now! My body type is an endomorph. As explained to me by a doctor who is a food science researcher, endomorphs typically do best with a higher fat and…

Congrats to you!! Feels so good to reach that goal.

Sounds like you are ready to make changes. It definitely has to come from within. I’ve lost weight twice before. Once with WW. The next time drinking protein shakes. Neither stuck. This time, I’m COCO and only eating real food that I mostly make myself. Learning about how many calories are in foods and tracking for the…

My husband was going on a business trip and I was planning to join him to see some good friends who lived in the area. I couldn't bring myself to go because I didn't want them to see how much weight I had gained. That's when I realized I was not living my best life and I'd better get it together.

Actually, there is a lot of science behind low carb and intermittent fasting helping with longevity and dementia along with issues like bipolar and depression. Highly recommended for people who have the Alzheimer’s APOE gene. Check out researcher Dr. Valter Longo and read about autophagy.

I absolutely love intermittent fasting and have had success with that eating style. I do both 16:8 and 20:4. It definitely helps with my cravings and I prefer to have one or two more fulfilling meals. I started doing it for the autophagy benefit because I am so worried about loose skin and then found the eating plan just…

Great job!

1. Have a plan 2. Intermittent fasting 3. Know how much you are eating (scale!) 4. Remove liquid calories 5. Cut out snacks 6. Move more 7. Sleep more 8. Resistance training 9. Use simple tools (walking) 10. Rest less during exercise 11. Eat more fat 12. Drink lots of water 13. Make yourself accountable (write EVERYTHING…

I use the Happy Scale app and like how it sets goals based on the historical data of my weight loss journey. Good luck on your journey!

Great job!!

Great job!!

What a great story. Congrats to you!!!

A pound is a pound no matter what your size is! Big congrats to you!!!

Yes!

Welcome back! I recently experimented with Keto. I personally did not lose any more weight doing Keto than other diets I've tried (Whole30, Paleo). After eight months of experimenting and losing weight, I've landed on believing tracking what I eat and eating in a calorie deficit, no matter what type of diet, is how I lose…

Congrats on losing 30 lbs and enjoying the occasional treat. The 80/20 rule works!! Good luck on your journey and look forward to hearing about you having more energy after losing more!!

I started doing intermittent fasting after reading Dr. Jason Fung's comments that his patients have never had to have skin surgery. I had 80lbs to lose so a very big concern for me. I truly believe autophagy does work for loose skin. 52lbs down and I don't see any signs of a problem. We'll see!

Definitely has a coconut flavor but not super strong. Try it to see if you like it! I think it's delicious.

For me, IF is a great way to structure my eating. I love it. I prefer being satiated by two meals rather than smaller meals and snacks. I absolutely track my calories. There are many, many ways to structure how a person can eat to lose weight but a calorie deficit is the must for each plan. No type of eating, diet or plan…

That dress looks incredible on you. Have a blast in Vegas!

I’m so inspired. You look great! Congratulations on your success and great attitude. 😊
