One thing that really helps is to not think of it as "dieting" (which is a negative), but think of it as a healthy lifestyle change (a positive).

I use the sedentary setting and then add in activities. I use a FitBit to automatically add in my normal daily activity and add in whatever exercise activities I do. It seems to work for me.

I agree with the others. You HAVE lost weight and I would be willing to bet you have (more importantly) lost inches. Don't fixate on the scale, it doesn't tell the whole story. I haven't bothered to weigh myself in weeks. My clothes keep getting more loose, and I have purchased smaller clothing that fits, twice now. I'll…

Without being able to look at your diary it is impossible for anyone to answer your question.

Thanks, folks, I'm pretty happy about it. When I was about to put them on I looked at them and thought "no way" LOL.

Don't think in terms of "being on a diet" but instead think in terms of "living a healthier lifestyle" (negative vs positive thinking). That, and just follow the MFP numbers and don't try to make it overly complicated.

I no longer feel old,

Over on protein is good as long as you're getting enough if other nutrients and you're working your muscles.

The more you worry about it the more likely you are to fail. Yesterday is gone and won't be coming back. Focus on today, approach it with a positive, upbeat attitude, and move forward. Don't think if it as "being on a diet", but as a positive, healthy lifestyle change.

Sometimes we need those close calls to wake us up.

Best thing I discovered about this app/site is the more you exercise the more you can eat. Great motivations there! Welcome. Excuses are easy but healthy lets you live longer so you can think up more excuses LOL Feel free to add me as a friend if ya like.

There is? ****! I gotta go!

It's nonsense. Calories are calories. Don't waste time with these stupid fad ideas. MFP works. Just do it.

Quitting smoking is easy. I've done it dozens of times ;)

Before I die, and yeah I meant it.

Isn't sarcasm considered rude? I'm just sayin'...

I found my BMR under the couch behind the dust bunnies.

That's funny right there, I don't care who you are!

If I am in a place where I am allowed to smoke my pipe, Guinness. If I am not allowed to smoke my pipe, Bud light. If someone else is buying, free works for me.

(In my best Elvis voice) Thank you, thank you very much.

I would say set a goal to be healthy and happy :)

Thanks, folks. I did tell them about MFP and how much it has helped. The doctor said she was going to "check it out" and maybe recommend it to other truckers who need to get in better condition.

30? LOL Just wait until ya hit 50

This ^^
