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…
