Your story sounds very familiar! I've been on here, weight watcher, keto, etc and looking for friends too. Was 217 when I got pregnant with my 2nd son 2 years ago and gained 35lbs. He's 15 months and I'm still trying to get back to that 217 to start my journey back up where i left it. Only 2lbs away! Then on to the 50lbs…

Me me me!

I so agree with the towel thing. I just started buying the larger ones years ago but those occasional showers at someone's house always mortify me! For me it's clothes. Somehow before children I had money to buy cute clothes...ha. I have boxes of them everything from 1 size smaller to 4 sizes smaller. I have nothing to…

Just accepted. Oh man now I'm craving Taco Bell!! haha. Luckily I have a to drive too far to get to one. My biggest thing is not blowing it on the weekend when I only see a .4 lb loss on Friday. I get ticked and say forget it and eat my bread and wine (in larger quantities thought!). Thinking I should weigh myself after…

Thank you for the support everyone!

I'm looking for the same! Only a few weeks in but loving reading everyone's tips and successes. Not sure my number either but at least 70lbs.

I wear it all day but my understanding from reading the MFP calculation is it takes what they think my "norm is" then what my norm is or will be based on what I'm actually doing that day. The difference like I had said is usually around 400 which seemed right as I may be sedentary all day but am pretty active after work.…

I AM hungry right now. haha I thought it was low too but that's what it gave me so I'm trying. 1400 is closer to what I'm actually doing most days though.

Can I ask what TDEE is? I've been basically targeting my 1200 but that can feel really low somedays so I do dip into the calories burned sometimes.

Thank you. I actually use something similar with the Body Media app. It links to MFP and automatically adds or subtracts (luckily that hasn't happened yet) from my calories. I just as normal am not seeing results but need to give it more time. Slightly overwhelmed with the amount of weight so am first focusing on calories…

Thank you all so much. Sounds like I was reading it right but haven't been eating enough. Strange as I haven't lost much either. Hard to stomach I should eat more. Wonder if the body bug is calculating my calories burned high. I've heard it's pretty accurate so I'll just keep at it for a few weeks and try to reach that net…

Just started tracking (again) on Monday and have never in past participated in the community so hoping the extra support and seeing everyone's amazing results will help keep me motivated. Working so far! Sending a friend request.

Just starting with 60-70 to lose. Feels so unreachable so love the idea of some motivation and support! My user name is alhopk1
