Amanda, we have all been there. Losing weight is the easy part, keeping it off is the real challenge. I am in the process of losing the 70lbs. that I gained BACK after months of dieting and excercise. I understand what you are going through. It is something that you have to go through, so you don't make that mistake again.…

Hi, I'm Maureen and I am 45 years old.

I hope that Swede tastes better than it looks, it looks like zombie eyeballs. Anyway, my diet secret so far is green tea. Gives me lots of energy and I heard it helps burn fat.

Welcome to MFP. I found that this site is very helpful and the people are really encouraging. We all help each other out when we need it the most.

Great job! You look like a different person. I am at 202lbs now and I can't wait to go to " One-derland" I am buying my tickets now:)

I noticed when I was between 175 and 165 I look healthy and curvy and guys were looking at me and when I go over that they did not. The point is 175 is still too high for my height 5'2 but I looked good and felt great and I felt noticed. If I went down to the size that the charts say I'm supposed to be, I would be too…

Sometimes it takes a while to get back to people. Hopefully your friends are out exercising and making their weight loss happen. Don't be dismayed, it's soooooooooooo not worth gaining the weight back that you lost because your upset. Take it from me it gets really hard to lose weight when you get older. Stick to your plan…

Welcome Sam, I'm new too. Feel free to add me if you like.

Thanks, I will add that one too.

The trick is to run slow and on a gravel track. You are right though, I should probably watch out for knee problems at this weight.

Welcome. I too am an emotional eater. 2yrs.ago I lost 70lbs. and I have gained back 40 of them. I am tired of gaining back what I worked so hard to lose.

Thanks for the advice.

Thanks for the info. They have me set at 60g which I think is too low for me. I will take your advice and set the default higher (I didn't know you could do that) I want muscle which will help me burn the fat, right.

Keep going, you are doing great!

Women should have curves, not look like sticks.

Hi Denise, My name is Maureen and I am new also. I just started using MFP yesterday. I am 45 years old and I am a yo yo dieter. I just recently gained 40lbs. of my 70lb weight loss. I am so mad at myself and I understand now how truly hard it is to lose weight. I used to be able to drop weight fast and now that I am in my…
