Thanks for the Hal Higdon plan. I too need to get a 1/2 under my belt and now I just need to pick one 12 weeks away and get started.

I don't have that much to loose, but any motivated group is a group for me. and I am strict with myself and want to continue that. Living with others, I cannot throw out all the bad foods in the house... my kids and hubby would freak out...BUT, what works for me is I don't eat their food. I did just recently get rid of the…

"Falling down is an accident, staying down is a choice"! also "Don't be upset about the results you didn't get, from the work you didn't do"

I am 45 and usually post 1 status a day and love to offer motivation and support. Please send me a friend request. I have been on MFP "this time around" for 71 days now and don't think I'm quitting any time soon.

I'm 45 and I tend to post 1 status a day and comment on my friends posts. Please feel free to send me a friend request, I don't really know how to add anyone.

I am always looking for friends who cross motivate. Ill try to send you a friend request.

Way to go.... OMG the sad face in the before pics... I get that.

My favorite costume in my collection is Cruella Devile but I am changing it up this year and wearing a "purge" mask. It is scary.

well a good drunk costume would be david hasselhoff and a hamburger.... google it.

It will not take long to loose 25 lbs. I just made that mark. Logging your food is huge! I worked outdoors and had an active lifestyle and went to the gym but I gained weight..only when I had to log what I ate did I make a change that dramatically changed my weight. Log and excercise and see how it works for you. then…

Why are you baking it? I cook mine in a pan, and it so delicious all brown on the outside and juicy on the inside. I think it takes less time as well as I cut it into pieces first. Or get a george foreman grill from the thrift shop...it trims the fat.

If it is working, it is working...when it doesn't work try something else. Walking is great exercise.

I eat back the exercise calories I need to feel satisfied and meet my macros. You should be able to eat them and still loose weight because the exercise is extra. I also wonder if there is continued burn after your physical activity as I have read in some articles , if there is such a calorie burn then you will loose more…

AMAZING!!! and those EYES!!!! Now people can see them. Way to Go

So sorry, that really sucks. Hope you will use it to fuel positive change and maybe even be thankful to the person in the end (but I doubt they deserve that) I used to just work out and not watch my calories and guess what... I got fat. Equations have two sides to be equal, this one is diet and exercise. I need both and…

TBH I had a foreign exchange student from Germany and she thought my measuring cups were the neatest thing.... they don't have them. METRIC system people.

I think your gonna like it here.

very nice.. You are so small to begin with. I can really see a difference though WTG.

You look amazing, and have such a beautiful face now that it has a smile on it. WELL DONE!!!

Super... I am just starting to get in my 12's. I bet it feels great. WTG

haha... I'm not here for grammer, (is that even how you spell it) I'll try to friend you.

I am never full either... I guess we just have to deal with it. I try to eat volumous food, like spinach and red cabbage with my meals. Also I am starting to drink water when I think I am hungry, which does help. If you find the answer clue me in... we can right a book, start a diet trend and make millions.

Look how much younger you look. Way to Go.

learn the difference between complex carbs and simple carbs. Simple carbs will be used by your body fairly quickly while complex carbs will slowly digest and not raise your glycemic index to much. Carbs are not bad, you need them for energy however, make sure you are getting the best benifits you can from them. Some good…

you have to go into settings and update it to change your calorie intake for your weight now. I do this after every 10 lbs or so. Originally I was at 1470 calories with light activity, now I am at 1400 or 1395 with very active. As you weigh less, you have to eat less or move more to get the same amount of food as before…

my husband giggles when he sees me weighing my food. I told him he was a douche and moved on. If this was easy everyone would look amazing.

I had to give up alcohol for other reasons, but not drinking is definately great for my diet. You can do this.

Welcome Pam, Way to go , you have done so well. I think finding MFP will help you reach your goal. Get some friends and enjoy the ride.

so you have posted 3 times and been logging and plateau for 2 years... sounds not quite right to me... see my profile quote. "Don't get mad at the results you didn't get for the work you didn't do" Before I logged my food, I worked out also, but I ate back those calories and then some and gained 20 + lbs. You must…
