  • You won't be sorry for taking care of yourself now. Especially since you are probably still growing and your metabolism is at a peak. My daughter's best friend, a 20 year old man, lost 100 pounds last year by cutting out sugar and walking every day. It was difficult at first and 10 minutes was all he could do. But, he did…

  • I got a good deal on 80 percent lean hamburger this week. I made a huge batch of taco meat and froze it in individual packs. I can pull it out and thaw quickly as is or throw it in the crock pot while I'm out and add some tomato sauce for sloppy joes over cauliflower. I put the taco meat over shredded lettuce to save…

  • You've done great. I gained 15 in the last year and when the number on my scale exceeded any I've ever seen, I jumped back on here 25 days ago. I've lost 10, which got me close to my former "can't go over this" number. I had to remove all the wine from the house. It is absolutely my downfall as I cannot drink one glass.…

  • Hi, boat mates. I would love to work together in encouraging you and myself to stick with it. I was 60 in November. I was a normal weight kid, teen and young adult and a personal crisis at 24 started me on my path to unhealthy eating and obesity. I'm now retired after a career as a newspaper reporter. My knees are shot and…

  • Grilled veggies are great and can fill your plate with few calories. I have zucchini and egg plant marinading in vinegar and olive oil with spices right now for dinner tonight.

  • Hi Vanessa. I'm Kathy. I've been doing Fitness Pal for a couple of years and have yo yo'd the same 15 pounds a dozen times. That doesn't sound like encouragement, does it? Well, it is. I had gained 25 pounds in the year before I signed in for the first time. I believe I would have gained another 25 if I hadn't started…

  • The key is small accomplishments. Try not to say 100 pounds. Say,"Today I'm going to increase the amount of water I drink and I'm going to get extra exercise going to the bathroom." I'm going to lose 2 pounds today and tomorrow my goal will be closer. We all feel your anxiety. You can do it!

  • My husband and I have done Fitness Pal several times over the last three or four years and it works. Unfortunately, we would get busy or the holidays would come or we would take a break for vacation and not come back and...other excuses here. Two weeks ago, my husband had a heart attack and now we are dedicated to weight…
