  • I have a friend that used MFP and lost over 60 pounds. She was never under the 1200. She worked out almost every day but would only eat half of her exercise calories she earned. It worked for her, and so far it has been working for me.

  • For Christmas this past year my husband signed us both up for a running group to run a 25k. I was 186 pounds at 5'6 and my knees hurt to run. But we were doing it together. Every Saturday we get up early and run with a group a little farther every week. I have lost over 23 pounds since the first of the year and that has…

  • Similar experience at the fitness center we have where I work. There are a few of us training for some longer runs. The policy on the treadmills are "Limit to 30 minutes if others are waiting" The other day I get to the fitness center, the treadmills are full, and there was at least to guys that I saw heading to the gym…

  • My calories are set to 1200. You should never be under that. You body will go into starvation mode making even harder to loose weight. The low calorie base is what I use as my motivation to exercise. If I don't exercise, I don't get to eat very much and have to be VERY picky what I eat. If I exercise, I get to eat more.

  • I have found that, when I am tracking it always amazes me how fast things add up. just by tracking it make me rethink a doughnut that someone brought in the office or the extra slice of pizza from a lunch meeting.

  • Before I had my three boys, i weighed about 135. I would love to be that again but I don't think it is realistic. That was when I was in my 20's and had and extra 2 hours every day to work out. That's not happening these days. Now I would love to get to 145-150. I was almost there then I found out I was pregnant with my 3…

  • I have used this site on and off for a couple of years. I introduced it to a friend of mine last year at this time and she lost over 50 lbs. It's all about sticking with it and being honest with yourself. I am ready to start again. So I too am a newbee of sorts :-) Good luck.

  • If i just do the standard set up for MFP it says i should be at 1300 ish calories a day. I am nursing my 7 month old so I know I know I burn and need more calories than that. I reset my calories to 1800 and I have lost 6 pounds in 2 1/2 weeks. I guess what I am suggesting is try something different and see if it works for…
