I did WW several years ago on the Momentum plan with great success. I lost 30 pounds in 6 months. But, like most diet plans, once I went off the program, I gained back everything I lost and then some. I went back to WW, now on points plus system and it didn't work for me. I tried MFP and was not gaining any ground after…

Hello, Everyone. And thanks to Alice for inviting me to join this group. My name is Donna. I am 60 years old and an RN living in Tennessee. I am married with two adult daughters, one grand daughter and triplet 8 year old grandsons (a great source of exercise!) I joined MFP several months ago with the goal of losing about…

Hummm, looks like people either love Apple products or hate them. I'm seeing no gray areas here. I guess I fall into the love category.

Hello Everyone. My name is Donna. I am 60 years old. I joined MFP almost two months ago and have lost a total of three pounds (as of today). Problem is that I have lost and regained that same three pounds a dozen times since starting this journey. I have heard a dozen different ideas about the "correct" way to work the…

Then, I had a major crisis in my life and started stress eating. When I rapidly regained all my lost weight, I joined WW…

I, too, am stuck in the "nothing seems to change" zone for two months now. My TDEE is 1593. I am eating between 1000 - 1200 calories a day, If I eat 250 - 500 less than my TDEE as suggested on this feed, I should be eating 1093 - 1343. I walk about 3 miles a couple times a week and take short bike rides for exercise. Heath…

I wish I had a magic answer for you but I am experiencing the same issues and I, too, am very frustrated. I've been a month on MFP with absolutely no change. At one point I showed a three pound loss but gained it right back. I have researched BMI, TDEE and a ton of other weight related figures that are suppose to help…

Pretty new to this and at the risk of sounding stupid, can someone explain what TDEE is? Thanks.

I'm Donna. I just joined as well. Feel free to add me. Maybe we can encourage and support each other!
