Thank you for the inspiration & encouragement!

Stress eating, not being mindful about what I was eating, no tracking. All of this combined with dieting for a lifetime, only to yo-yo and have to do it all over again.

I walked up and down 4 flights of steps at least 4 times today at work!

I need some motivation. I got on the scale this morning, and it wasn't pretty. I need to get back on track, and I need a place to start. Whatever I am doing is not working. I need some accountability. I am 61 yo, work full time, and find it difficult to fit in exercise. By the time I get home at 7PM I am exhausted. I eat…

Well.... Ummmmm.... Nah...

Lion's Mane and Chaga

It is instant coffee with mushrooms.

I changed my macros on MFP from 20 Grams of Carbs to 50. I can't see me maintaining a WOE if I can't eat salad or veggies. I know green leafy is good, but I but I need more than that. Still not looking to go carb crazy just not as low as Keto goes.

I've tried WW many times. It has worked but stopped going to meetings, and the weight comes back. WW has a great thing going. I think they know you will regain weight and come back. I've done SAD (Standard American Diet), LCHF, Keto, South Beach, Atkins, you name it. I'm still trying to find something that works long term…

I think the best plan is the one that you can do long term and is sustainable. Anything that restricts food groups really doesn't sound practical.

I was flexible, but I certainly didn't stick to my calories. It's like I threw everything I learned out the window. I didn't want to "deprive" myself of enjoying the foods everyone else were having. On top of all of the apps, I had a bacon cheeseburger with the bun. OMG, so good, but I got it out of my system.

Last night was a disaster for me. I was following my low carb high fat macros until I attended a farewell party for leaving my job. We had appetizers like pretzel fondue, and I also had a few martinis. That was last night, today is today. :-)

No

I want to cut out sugars and carbs so I can keep insulin low. I have less cravings without sugar. On the other hand, all the years that fats were said to be bad still has an influence on me. How can I eat fats and not affect heart health? It's just so confusing. Cutting calories will allow weight loss, but are the foods we…

I am 177 and need to be 160 at the highest.

1316 here.

I found a Keto calcultor which says I should do 20g carbs, 80 grams protein 100 grams fat =1300 calories per day. I am 5'6" Male, little exercise. I hate the word sedentary. Does this sound right?

It would have to be a cold meal because I'm on the phones and don't have the time to break to microwave anything.

Tampa, Fl

I checked out TrendWeight. This makes me feel better. Weight Change Over Time: Since yesterday: -0.2 lbs Since a week ago: -1.1 lbs Statistics: You are losing 1.3 lbs/week of total weight.

Hi all! It's not that I ever left, but now I really need to change my eating habits! I welcome more MFP friends! where were you born? New York City where do you live at the moment? Apollo Beach, Fl.

I have been with my husband for 14 years. We got married in CT, and have recently moved to Florida where marriage equality is not recognized. We are anxiously waiting January 5, 2015 to see whether Florida will have marriage equality or it will go to SCOTUS for a final decision. It is unfortunate that our Attorney General…

Thank you both!

Perhaps I should weigh in once a week. It reminds me of my early days when I had a talking scale and it kept on telling me "One Person At A Time Please." How rude is that! :-)

You do have a good point. 1 year vs rest of my life is a great way to look at things. :-)

Truly inspirational! Keep up the great work and have a wonderful 2014!

I wrote a similar thread last week. I'm not a failure because I'm not giving up. I'm down over a pound this week and that is a milestone for me. I'm taking it one step at a time, and thinking positive. I am making this an adventure, and an education, not a chore. I love to get feedback from all of you, and I love to read…

Just want to add that WW pedometer that you are referring to is called ActiveLink. It's essentially tracks your steps and exercise points. It's similar to a Fitbit only it doesn't have a display so you have to sync it in order to see your stats. It also costs $5 a month extra for the service. A Fitbit doesn't have a…
