thank you...hope I get this right:drinker: -

Hello and welcome! I too have health issues and drink meds that side effects include fat accumulation. Due to that, I thought I would forever be obese. When I hit 224lbs I said to myself enough, I have to at least try to lose some weight and I did. I've been dieting for a year now and joined MFP this month as I am nearing…

I eat some of my burned calories but if I would be really hungry I would eat all of them back no doubt about it!

Thanks for the advice...I appreciate it!

thanks for answering guys...I wish you the best!

I joined in March but have been dieting on my own for a year. I guess I wanted some company in this process...I love this program and the members rock...wish I had joined before!

Wise words even better attitude....welcome and remember God is in control!

I still crave chips, chocolate, cookies and I EAT them but never going over my calorie goal and if I do go over a little I don't lose sleep over it! Just so you know I eat Pringles low fat chips and Nips everyday...works for me lol

I joined MFP March 5th 2012 but have been dieting for a year now and my focus has always been calories...I am perfectly healthy so says my Dr so I guess it has worked for me. I wish you success.....you have made a wise choice taking control!

God is in control!!

I skip breakfast and add tjhose calories to lunch...works for me!

To have success on this program it is a must to have a food journal. This will greatly help in knowing what you have eaten during the day and realize if you are going over calorie goal. I have done this and it really helps...keeps me in check....

Welcome....I wish you much success and congratulations on giving yourself the attention you deserve! I promise you you will find loads of support and I am certain you will learn a lot!

Happy Birthday and congratulations! You look great...you have done an awsome job...keep it up:flowerforyou:

Counting calories has gotten me 70lbs lighter...if that's not an indication that it works, I don't know what is! Count your calories do your workouts and see the results....betcha you'll be glad you did:smile:

I'm also a night snacker so I save calories to do just that! I have been on this weight loss journey for a year now and so far have lost 69 lbs and counting. My opinion is if you don't go over your daily allowance you should be fine....well at least it has worked for me. As a beginner you will have to try things to see…

thank you!!

I've heard upping calories can help but I am afraid to do it....silly me I guess! Maybe I will give it a try to see what happens....thanx guys for your input...I appreciated and let me tell you....YOU ARE ALL MY HEROES....CONGRATS ON YOUR SUCCESS!

Glad to have you on board! I have been dieting on my own for a year now but joined this program in March 2012 hoping to get the support and motivation to reach my goal weight! My ah-ha moment came when at 224 lbs my blood pressure starting rising and one other thing was I was at the point where I was barely able to fit…

I am 51 years old and have been on this weight loss journey for a year now....started at 224 lbs and today weighed in at 155 lbs. I also have some health issues so my only source of exercise is brisk walking twice a day for…

Good luck! I too weigh myself everyday and it is frustrating at times, but I have been doing it for a year now so might as well finish it off lol....I wish you the best...add me if you wish! God Bless!
