I make it a point to log everything and regret nothing.

Nothing wrong with hot yoga if your heart is healthy and you take care of yourself; but I might suggest you dont rely on it completely; eat your calories back and eat responsibly while you do it and you will take off the weight and keep it off. Good luck to you.

I read your post with great interest. I am 59 years old and five feet one inch. I had back surgery in 2012 and in May 2013 I weighed almost 159. My current weight is 128.3(I think....). This week, I have fluctuated 127 low-129 high. I weigh myself daily with the fitbit scale at the same time each day but it does fluctuate.…

My suggestion is balance and calorie counting. The premise is off to begin with.

My guess is you think you need less than you do. Slow and steady wins the race.

Denial Aisle

HW. 156 LW. Not sure. Maybe 110. Did not weigh myself for YEARS CW. 129.3 GW. Current goal is set at 125. Not sure on final goal. Height 5' 1" Age 59 My daughter got me to do mfp. I had back surgery in 2012 and gained lot of weight. I do not know what to set for a goal. I am large boned for my height stocky and child…

I have read all of these posts with great interest . "designer food" and "health" shops prey on people. We live in a society that wants the easy fix and a pill for everything. I would suggest taking a serious look at the psychology associated with 40 pills a day. It sounds unbalanced to me and it is highly likely that…

I was wondering the same thing

Sounds like a danger zone to me

Discipline and education and understanding of all the factors. If I want the ice cream I won't eat the pizza

I agree with this. I had to finally accept that I should start with just a quarter to half a pound a week. I will be happy if I am at my goal next year which is a year from when I started last May. And I am learning all thje time how to do this which means I will havae to keep doing mfp for maintenance. YYou set yourself…

I am lookiong for supportive friends too. And good luck to everybody. I havent figured out how to add people. I have lost 20 pounds doing this program and it is amazing. If you log you can do it.

It took me so long to accept and understand this. And its unbelievable the difference logging makes. I never realized how much I ate. I am losing now although I have hit a plateau. Great topic.

Sad that someone posted that this is disgusting. Its the wrong attitude and it is the attitude that allowed this poor soul to go down this road in the first place. The entire essay is so sad. However, there is a point at which people remain what we call "professional victim". Sad but true. When I read stories like this, I…

It has helped me a lot. I have learned a lot about what a portion is. For instance I cooked myself a four oz hamburger tonight. It looked so small but it satisfied me.

I am going to show my ignorance. What is eating clean? Is ice cream clean? I hope so!

I would think it a waste of time worrying about what other people think.

This looks like a severe case of rationalizing to me. Its cheaper to eat healthy. Junk food is expensive.

I havent eaten anything worst because I just count the calories and so if I eat something I just dont eat something else.

It is so weird to me that people make statements like "I am going to give up milk" but dont give a reason. I love milk. I just had a chocolate chip cookie and a glass of ice cold milk. Life is good.:smile:

I live with a big eater. I like all the foods he does and its hard to get him to walk with me. I am learning that I need to take care of me in the best way I can and not try to run him.

complicated. goodness. A very experienced and knowledgealble person on mfp set it up for me. According to my dailies my protein goal is 111. I seem to average only 80-85.

And what is HRM?

French toast is healthy, period. Eggs are good for you, bread a necessary staple, milk is calcium. If you feel the need to reduce the fat, do that, but I would think it would make more sense to enjoy the french toast and cut somewhere else.

I am pretty sure my fitbit scale measures bmi.....

I have been very terrified of eating all my calories back. However, I have been working hard to do so and I find I have more energy and feel better. I actually think I can burn more and my metabolism is better because I have high enough energy and it feels like an upward swing. I think its important for the doctor to fully…
