Hi there!! I am 44, 2 kids, full time job...living the dream, with 40 xtra lbs lol. Please add me so we can help each other!!

I have the same problem. I have read books, I have gone to groups I have done everything. This time, I set MFP to lose a half pound a week, I figured if I have extra calories to play with I won't be so tempted to binge. So far in January I have had a few binge days but many more days not binging. It is a DAILY mental…

You can add me too, I am 20 years out of college, but know how you feel. BTW - - enjoy your college experience it is really a great time in life!!!

Thanks guys I am going to start this week. I am getting frustrated that my 120 calorie granola bar is the point equivalent of a meal. I understand the "steering you" towards better choices...but I LOVE my 120 calorie granola bar

Yes 2016 is our year everyone!!

Feel free to add me I am 40 and trying to lose weight and provide healthy meals for my family

Congratulations! And your baby is super cute :)

I just quit WW here is my two cents: If you can make meetings weekly, it is well worth it. A great leader and group of people can provide lots of support and it is very helpful. The WW app and food database is NOT as good as my fitness pal. WW helped me mentally get my mind in this game. I ended up quitting because I…

Feel free to add me I am 40 with kids...on the same path you are all on :)

I post daily and I am 40....just starting out (a few months in down 6 pounds)

Amazing love this story...thanks for sharing!!

I love weight watchers, but I quite because I agree with the above poster that the paid app is just terrible. Since I don't want to log in two places, I am hanging out here on free MFP. But I do miss the meeting support.

Congratulations! We are around the same age so very inspiring!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations great accomplishment!

Turning 40 this year!

Thanks this is motivating to me. Tomorrow is day 2....it was nice not going through the day trying to figure out when I was going to work out and then feeling guilty for not having time. I just need to keep this up!! It was nice to hear from people just starting too!!

Jsheter: CONGRAGULATIONS!!!! I have two adopted children (one domestic one from China) I have gained 30 pounds since my first adoption. I am now back on track too, Friend me if you would like!

This sounds like a good idea...is there a way to change a setting on MFP to do that, or do you guys do it in your head?

thanks to all the replies. My apologies for being vague. It is .5 pounds a week and I have about 25-30 pounds to lose.

Me too. about 30 to go!

Yes, I could have written this post. Feel free to add me as a friend so we can help each other. :smile:

dladisheff - It is really a widget in my phone...it is like the opposite of a countdown calculator, It is just a number on my screen on my phone so in the event anyones sees it they won't see BINGE FREE...they just see a number...no need to advertise to the world right :)

The important take away...YOU STOPPED YOURSELF!!!! Good for you. I am working on day three binge free, I have a little app on my phone that tells me how many days binge free I am so I am hoping that motivates me to NOT reset it to 0 again.

Ugh so sorry. I think you are the only one who can make a decision. I have to say I have been married for 13 years and I am up 20 pounds since our wedding day. I am working to lose weight and my husband says "your not fat, if you are fat than I love fat" I do this for myself and if I gained 50 pounds my husband would still…

Thanks guys! I am going to eat my normal calories today, I am busy at work but I did get in a 20 minute fast paced walk at lunch and water water water....clean slate it is!

I have been at this since late January and I am down 10 pounds, I lost weight slow but I am losing if you want to add me

You can add me if you like, I am married, have two kids, work full time....and I focus on my eating, exercise and this site to lose my last 13 pounds!

Cake with that super sweet frosting adults find disgusting but kids LOVE...I LOVE it too!!!

My home made pizza that I have built my day around to enjoy a "healthy" slice , I can't wait! Oh and a low cal vegetable on the side.

That is really great!
