It was great to have this information. We do get too focused on the scale instead of the inches

I too just came back after a year - I wish I had been using another site - I wouldn't be 7 lbs heavier. However, that is history.:smile: I think by coming back you are off to a great start.

I believe this site is a wonderful free tool to show us where we make mistakes in our food choices. Mine is sugar - everything else lines up pretty good. and of course starting to exercise/walk is the other key. Thank God for the people who put up this sight. Good luck all you newbies (I've been on since 5/4/09. ) :laugh:…

Hey - Congrats - You are all great motivators for the rest of us just starting out. Thanks for sharing.

Hi!! I am almost 52 and been with MFP since 5/4. I love this site, can anyone join this thread? By making a response, it will go in my recent topics, but how do I keep it permanently in something so I can come back to this same thread? I have lost 7 1lbs so far and hoping to loose another 3-5 by the next time I weigh. I am…

Rob, I'm almost 52 and too embarassed to say what I weigh. You've already taken the first step. The next is to make changes (some minor - try lights/sugar free) and start moving. That's what I am doing. I will never diet again. You've done that yourself so you know what I mean. Just start making lifestyle changes-ones you…

Welcome to MFP. Congrats on the 15 lbs lost. The support here is fantastic. Good luck on reaching your next goal - we all know that you can do it.

according to other posts that I have read if you are cutting calories too much you can impede your weight loss efforts. When you exercise your calorie count goes up that you can have. I find it hard to hit the extra calories as well as we have all been trained to cut as much as possib le. Have you measured yourself to see…

I wish someone would come up a definite answer on this question of eating before bed. As I do frequently and I don't want to hinder my weight loss.

I'm in Iowa and a lot of restaurants post a low cal/carb menu - I tend to favor something like a spicy chicen or shrimp or a very lean steak when I eat out. Instead of potato, I get grilled or steamed veg, 1 piece of bread. It still tends to use a bit of your calories, but I simply eat veg / fruit for the other meal. In…

WTG! Keep it up.

That is totally awesome. Losing this way it should stay off. :flowerforyou:

You look great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello from Iowa! You've taken the first step and joined a great website. I joined 5/4 and already lost 7 lbs (the good news) and 100 to go (bad news). Good luck. Take in one small change at a time and exercise.

Make trail mix with peanuts/almonds/Light on choc chips/light on raisens. Also, grill chicken breasts or chicken kabobs on a stick with vegs. Take popcorn and get a campfire popper. Have fun.

That is a tough workout day along with staying up until 1:00 doing homework. A mom's point of view says don't wait until your body wears out to increase your cal to offset what you are burning. Even on biggest loser they stressed with their intense workouts to eat no less than 1200-1500 cal a day. Sounds like you are even…

My favorite is Applebees Salad with Steak on top. Its only about 3 oz of steak, with a lot of lettuce, a tiny bit of cheese no croutons.

What an awesome idea - I'm going to divorce mine too and try to meet just once a month for review of proceedings.
-
Hello - glad to see you on board - I too think it is a wonderful sight. Who would have thought something so wonderful was really free in this day and age! Good Luck!!!!!!:flowerforyou:

Do I mix up the yellow cake mix by the directions than add pumpkin or does the pumpkin replace the other ingredients?
-
I never knew that - thanks for the advice
-
Good luck - I just joined 5-4 and have a long way to go. Can you eat yogurts and stuff to help keep your calories up?
-
Are you open to new members? I am 52 only on the site a little over a week. Have a long way to go.

Keep tooting - we are not only here for tracking our stuff, but for motivation...... what is more motivation than your success and for support - way to go. :flowerforyou:

I wanted Tara to win and Kristen to win the 100,000. both losts by 5/6 pounds. Tara won all the challenges, never went below the yellow line, but she learned something I don't think Helen did. It truly is about balance (not the money). Helen almost looked (dare I say it) too thin to be healthy. I believe her daughter…

I just wanted to say "welcome" - I have only joined about a week ago. I love it - by tracking everything you eat you see what needs improvement on (no diets). I'm beginning to like exercising - no one would have ever thought that about me. Good luck on your journey - congrats on your baby.
