You are awesome!

Female 36 5' 5.4" 293 150 Still working on it, but 52.4 lbs lost in just under 6 months so far Started at 1790 with 2 lb a week loss now at 1670 with 1.5 lb a week loss Yes, and when it got to a level I wasn't comfortable with I changed from 2 lbs a week to 1.5 lbs a week to gain some back I eat some back but usually not…

Yes, I didn't the first time it prompted me and didnt lose weight for two weeks then when I recalculated I started losing again.the less you weigh the less your body needs :grumble:

I too have MS and the hardest thing to do is listen to your body. It took me some time to accept that it was better to stop and rest if I need to, instead of pushing through it like I had always done before I was diagnosed. But once I started listening to my body better I have found that my quality of life has improved. I…

They will have to pry my coffee from my cold dead hands. :drinker:

What did you set your goal at for pounds to lose in a week? Also what setting did you choose for life style I.e sedantary, light active etc..? These two things will make a big difference in the calories MFP gives you.. I started with well over a hundred pounds to lose so set my goal to 2 lbs per week. I set my life style…

You can change your setting to light active for a few weeks and see if that calorie amount works better for you. Or you can adjust how many kg you wish to lose a week, if you set it to one kg per week change it to 1/2 kg a week. This will give you more calories to eat also. When you start exercising again you can log your…

Yes you can eat those calories remaining. If you gain more calories by exercising there is much debate about eating them back, I personally try to eat back at least 50 % of my exercise calories( sometimes I eat them all depending on how I feel) . Some people eat back all of them some people choose not to eat any. The…

MFP gives you say 1200 calories to eat in a day, then you exercise and burn 300 calories. 1200 calories eaten - 300 calories burned = 900 net calories You actually want your net calories to equal 1200 in this scenario, so to do that you could Eat 1500 calories - 300 exercise calories burned = 1200 net calories Hope this…

Right now mine look worse but I still have a lot to lose, I am hoping when I get closer to goal they will start to lessen. I only have them in my stomach and hips so far :grumble: I also do mine manually.

Always dated my age or older but my hubby is three years younger, :glasses:

I follow the sites recommendations have been since Nov and they are working just fine for me. OP as others have said as you lose weight you need to lower your calories to continue losing weight. If you feel you need more you can either exercise more to gain more calories or adjust the amount you want to lose per week. Say…

Cookie time cookie time girl scout cookie time ;). Former girl scout, current leader and mother of a girl scout. And I always handled the troop cookies lol. Tagalongs are my weakness love them, my hubby likes thin mints which is funny because he is the Reese's peanut butter cup lover and I love Andes candies but when it…

Parenthood! Many more but right now this is my must see TV love love love it!

Nope love mine but, I didn't get my first one till I was twenty, decided what I wanted and where on my body I wanted it at nineteen then waited one year before I got it. I didn't get my second one till I was 34 and I knew what I wanted and where for several years before finally doing it.

I have lost fifty pounds in five months eating 1700+ a day. Just saying....

I enjoy special occasions but o be honest since I started this in August even when I indulge it is not nearly as much as I used to. Enjoy your day!

50 lbs down and I went from a snug 46DDD to a 42E, seriously why?!? I was hoping to go down to a solid D the best laid plans of mice and men... Maybe the next fifty will take a little bit of the ladies, not all just a little ...

I go alone, I have no desire to go with other people. I am with people all da every day... Gym time is my time!

I work out between 6 and 9 pm, the few times I have tried working out before noon my work outs have sucked. I do much better later in the evening. I am not a morning person, I get my most restful sleep from 6-8 am so going to the gym in the am just doesn't work for me.

I take 2000 iu a day. Just had my daughter tested and she has to take 1000 iu a day for three months then recheck. It is quite common and rarely checked :(

Half jack russel terrier ( terror lol) and half beagle. She is extremely intelligent and spiteful not a good mix but I love her to pieces :laugh: .

Thanx!

I combined two nicknames from high school. Ckepi and Jinx

If I am not careful when working out heck even in just every day life and I push to hard for to long my sx flare, but it isnot an actual flare up just residual effects from past damage. If it only happens during workouts I would say it maybe that, if it starts happening other times then it could be more. Good luck

I walk an hour at least three nights a week, I coach cheer leading two nights a week, and we have games one or two days a week. I have an active job that keeps me on my feet for eight hours. I can not do morning work outs,I am useless in the morning and my routine is not as vigorous if I go early. I have at least one rest…

Thanks that makes sense! And that may help with my balance in the long run too yay!
