I'm 54, 5'2' and I have been doing 1200 a day since starting MFP amd I am rarely hungry. I make the absolute most of those calories. I will eat back my exercise calories, though. The rest of the time I am fairly sedentary so that, and my age, are probably what works for me. Also drinking 8 glasses of water if very filling.…

I wish we could "LIKE" a post like on Facebook! Well said Tami!

I would have to say NEVER too especially during maintenence. This site is the best thing to happen to me!

When I was going to Weight Watchers I allowed myself one cheat meal the night of weigh in day. My husband and I would usually eat out somewhere and that would be it. But invariably I would be up as much as 3 pounds the next day and it would take me at least 3 days to get it back off. For me it was a vicious cycle and since…

Almost there!

Almost there!

Went for a nice long walk this AM!

Fantastic story!!! Congrats!

No I cried too!!!

Thank you soooo much for posting this! I was boo-hoo'ing just this morning because I was tired and didn't want to go for my walk. Watching this video was a very good attitude adjustment for me. I got teary watching it. He is truly an inspiration!

I'm halfway to my goal!

I moved my *kitten* this morning! :laugh:

You are looking fab! Keep up the good work, Very inspiring!

Got in 3 more miles this AM! Loving this challenge!

Good morning ladies! I was so happy to see this thread this AM! Yesterday I committed to walking at least 30 miles in the Move Your *kitten* Challenge for July. I missed getting in on the Lose 5 Pounds in July challenge but I'm doing it anyway. So here are my goals for July: Walk at least 30 miles Lose 5 pounds (and get…

I saw an in depth interview about her. She's AWESOME!!!

I really need this! I am a newbie and I will commit to walking at least 30 miles this month. I am just getting back to walking so I think this would be a realistic start for me.

I was just going thorough some of my clothes yesterday and it's amazing that even with one size, say an 18, that there are degrees with in. Like I have smallish 18's and others that hang on me!

Yeah I am sure that must be it, but it boggles my mind sometimes!! LOL!

Wow!!!

What an amazing difference and in so short a time! Good for you!!!

I thought that was what Success Stories was for! I come here for inspiration and to know what works for people. The nice thing about MFP is that you don't have to click on this topic if it bothers you. Oops, I think I took the OP's post wrong. I have not posted any before and after pics and if I get to a point where I feel…

It could also be hormone related. I went into early menopuase when I was 30 and all heck broke out with my skin and I still deal with it and I'm 53. Not as bad but I still get break outs from time to time. I also learned the hard way that I can't use any products that have salicylic acid in them as it just makes it worse.…

Thanks I will chack that out!

Is it possible for you to get you exercise in the morning instead of waiting till after work? That might also inspire you to eat better at lunch time and not undo all your hard work from working out. I like the other suggestions offered here too!

I remember something Bob Greene (her fitness guru) said on Oprah, that the hunger pain feeling is your body "eating" stored body fat. And he said don't always be in a hurry to feed the hunger pain. Of course you don't want to wait to long either and be out of control.
