  • Thank you everyone for all your suggestions. I always weigh and measure food, as I am a lifetime member of weight watchers (lost and kept off weight for 5 years), and weigh in weekly. I also drink plenty of water. I weigh in every Monday night in same clothes each week (which are very loose!). I think I will try MKEgal…

  • I have my Fitbit linked to MFP. It works great! If you link it to MFP, you are not supposed to record food etc. on the Fit Bit dashboard. I have the fit bit I can clip on to things, not the newer kind on a wristband. I believe you can find "frequently asked questions" on MFP somewhere. As it seems like I saw the "negative…

  • I am American, but an Anglophile who travels to the UK every year. And to answer your question.....unfortunately, yes, everything seems to come from a packet or jar here....haha. It wasn't that way when I was growing up, but sure seems to be now.

  • You can buy Torani syrups online. However, I live in the US but travel to UK every year, and often you can buy the sugar free vanilla and other flavored syrups from a Starbuck's or other coffee shop like Cafe' Nero or Costa. Believe it or not, you can make your own sugar free maple/or pancake syrup by making "simple syrup"…

  • You have heard it before, but you cannot focus on how much and how long. Take it only one day at a time, one good habit at a time, and pat yourself on the back if you get through the day doing healthy things for yourself. The great news is: Since you are bigger, your weight loss will be bigger in the beginning, which is an…

  • 3 suggestions, as I had a similar experience several years ago: 1. If you are lifting "heavy" you may have packed on more muscle weight. I weighed in and tracked my loss with a special test at a clinic (blowing into this computerized device when I started, then repeating and checking body fat at later times during my…

  • I know she wanted friends from the UK, (and I am from the USA) but your story is similar to mine (age and injuries)...I would love to have a supportive friend from the UK. We go there every year to visit long-time friends, and I love it. I have about 35-45 lbs ( 1 stone is about 14lbs).....I would like to hear from any…

  • I am from the US, but I saw where you were from and had to comment! My husband and I go to the UK every May to visit friends who currently live in Potten End (not sure I spelled that correctly)....we visited Bletchley Park with them this year, and the name of your town sounded familiar. I would love to have you as a friend…

  • You sound just like me..haha. I have been thin and fat. The last time I kept it off for 3 years with lots of exercise and watching my food, then menopause and stress derailed me again. I have about the same amount to lose as you. I recently had to start on blood pressure medicine and felt like such a failure, as I had…
