You can have everything, but track, track, track. This is when portion control is most important. I would make sure you have no cany left on Halloween. And for Thanksgiving and Christmas, if you go to a party or a get together, offer to bring the veggie tray or fruit tray. Put that stuff on your plate first, when you're…

I've never tried it, but a lady in my aerobics class started last Dec and has lost 120 lbs as of the beginning of Oct.

I assume that your doctor checked your thyroid and for diabetes before suggesting a weight loss pill. I was/am having the same trouble. My doctor checked my blood sugar levels and found that I am borderline diabetic. I thought that caused weight loss, but with my research I found not being able to lose weight can be a…

My work-out schedule is Monday and Wends 1 hour of high impact aerobics, Tuesday and Thurs a mix of Yoga and Pilates for an hour, and Sat and Sun I use the equipment at the gym for at least an hour ... bike, treadmill, eliptical or weights. I drink nothing but water, however some days I have high sodium days. A couple…

33 pounds is AMAZING!!! Just keep it up and everything else will fall into place, be proud of yourself and soon there will be no more muffin top to worry about!

That is awesome!

It looks like you are eating what you are suppose to, but as you pointed out you are eating 1100-1200 cals a day and you should be eating closer to 1500 to keep out of starvation mode. What about snacks? You should be eating 4-5 times a day, I would recommend adding a small healthy snack. Some almonds, sting cheese,…

I take a Yo-Pi class that is a mix of Pilates and Yoga and I know MFP is way below what I burn in an hour. I do not eat any exercise calories so I just log what they have and the calories they say I burn doesn't really effect me. If you are maintaining I would recommend getting a calorie counting watch so you can start…

I had the exact same problem and I ended up going to my doctor after 9 weeks of no change at all. Come to find out there was a medical issue. Once I knew that and we started treating it the weight started to come off, just last week I lost 4 pounds!! First I do recommend making changes in your diet and exercise like…

Talk about motivation!!! I am currently 320 lbs. now, I have been working out and eating right for 9 weeks and I have lost 5 lbs. I went to the doctor this last week and found out I'm not losing weight because I'm diabetic. I made a promise to my daughter and my husband, just this week, that I'm not doing yo-yo dieting…

Congratulations!! That is so wonderful!!

That sounds good, and a perfect time of year. Thanks for sharing!!

Hello and welcome to both of you!! I think you are in a wonderful place to get started and this community is wonderful!!

You have definatly come to the right place. I found it's easier to tell the absolute truth about my weight and my successes here than with people in my life. Sometimes I feel like my family and friends judge me but I never get that here, and MFP keeps me motivated.

I don't know if I'm doing it right, but I stop at the point I stop working out. I figure if I'm still burning for a little while after that it's an extra bonus and it's much easier to track.

I have an HTC - Desire and I have the app on my phone, so I'm sure you could get it.

Welcome!! It's great that you've started MFP! The exercise will com, too. I absolutely hated anything that had to do with it, and I have some friends that are changing their eating habits along with me. They joined a local gym that has aerobics and yoga classes there and were trying to get me to join with them. For the…

I love that feature too, it has changed my mind several times. Also, I have MFP on my phone so I can log what I eat when out in public without dragging around a notebook, and I can do it immediately and descretely. I love it!!

Over this last summer I went to the doctor and my blood pressure was 197/112. They started monitoring me and found that was average. I was told I was in stroke range. I'm 32 years old and a single parent and thatcomment scared me so I started eating better and going to the gym. Along the way I found MFP to help out. I have…

I am also a fellow comfort eater. I had to start by training myself to really notice the difference between real hunger and emotional hunger. When it's emotional hunger I would get a bottle of water with Kellogg's K2O Protein Water Mix, it has 5 grams each of protein and fiber and that would help me feel a little "full"…

That's great, welcome!!

I also need to make some friends for support on MFP. I too had this app on my phone but I wasn't using it. My weight loss has not been successful since I started counting calories six weeks ago, so I decided to utilize everything MFP has to offer. I am 32 and was told about 6 weeks ago that I'm in danger of having a…
