FYI, I am 5'2 and now 224 (after gaining weight back). First round of MFP, was 253 and lost down to 211. After breaking ankle, I am still not able to exercise due to extremely slow healing of the bone. I am going to check out the BMI calculator. Thanks for your support.

Also, forgot to include that since breaking my ankle, have seeing the doctor on a regular basis, have had all kinds of test ( a complete work-up) and all is good.

Thanks so much for the useful information. I didn't consider 6 lbs in two weeks to be water weight, in which I could be wrong. I guess I was comparing that to the 7 pounds lost in the very first week I lost as water weight (when I first began dieting). I have to watch my sodium because of HBP so my sodium is always lower…

Thank you so much for your replies. I am just so disgusted with my belly and not sure where to start. I used to wear the Gold's Gym band while doing light cardio and it did help. Just not sure if I want to subject myself to the tight and uncomfortable feeling that comes with it. I'm assuming planks are probably the better…

OMG, you had to have read my mind!!! I knew my New Year's Resolution was automatically be to go back on my diet with an iron fist. I was here also, about a year ago. Like yourself, I thought that after being so disciplined in the past, that I could go it alone. I stopped logging my foods, exercised only when I felt like…

Each and every one of you have been great. I really needed that.

Wow, you're doing great! A big congratulations! It seems like the more I continue, the more I have to keep changing but until you said so, you have a very valid point. Thanx

You are right! I have a Wii and have plenty to get me going but I was so focused on calories before I took the initiative to start exercising. As I recall, they do keep track of your progress. Are you toning as well? I'm scared of losing it without toning.

It skimmed across my mind but you are the first person to suggest it. Everyone on here seems to be doing cardio and I just assumed that was the way to go. I might give it a try but I think right now, I need to get my heart pumping, I think. Thank you so much.

Thanks so much. I just read the link. All of this "dieting the right" way is still new to me and I'm trying to get as much useful information as I can. Wow, this thing gets complexed (not in understanding it) but how deep it goes. Yes, I'm fustrated, but I have to keep at this. Thanks again.

I was wondering the same. I started out good without exercising. I lost about 24lbs in 7 weeks. Then I hit a plateau (which I didn't think would happen until further down the line, I don't know why). I began to question whether I would have to result to exercising, because like you, I hate it! To motivate myself, I began…

I don't really like to admit it because water is so beneficial to the body but like you, I'm not a fan of water. One day, while talking to a customer, she showed me a drink called ICE. I don't know if you've heard of it but it's usually in grocery stores (very hard to find in convenience stores) and it's about $1 each. I…
