@marieegg - There is a support group on MFP called Weight Watchers International. I'm not sure if it is still active though. Do you know anything about that?

Is this still an active group? If so, I would be interested in joining since I just restarted with WW and have been using MFP since January 2016. I really need to lose this weight and implement a healthier lifestyle!

@marieegg - I'm been actively tracking on MFP since March 2016. My weight has bounced back and forth without significant loss. I joined weightwatchers via website today and will begin attending the meetings on Saturday this week. I will not get my access code for online until the meeting. But, I would love to receive any…

@ShrinkinMel - what is PCSO?

@rokos2 - how did you calculate the range of calories you consume with goal of weight loss?

Please feel free to add me. CW: 186.8 GW: 135 @AmyLouPelt - I definitely hear you! I'm not fond of cooking either, especially since it is only me and my husband. It's very hard to scale down my cooking when I've always had a large family of good eaters to cook for in the past. Support and possibly sharing ideas for meal…

What is the AIP diet?

@Cheesy567 - thank you. I will use this calculator and follow the good advice you gave me.

@Cheesey567 - I am interested in the BMR link if you can find it. Thank you!

@yeyates - I'm going to look for that book. Thank you!

I would be interested also to know about the AIP.

I have joined this group today after reading your posts. I was referred to a rheumatologist about 6 months ago with joint pain in knees, toes, hands and hips. I also was diagnosed with dry eyes. So far all the specific tests for RA, Sjogren's, etc have been negative except I definitely have an increasing autoimmune value.…

@nowine4me - for me, it has been extremely difficult to lose weight with menopause. And, much easier to gain weight! I have had to increase my calcium intake and make sure that I am getting enough weight-bearing activity too.

@ SugarDarlin1959 - sounds like you have made a great plan and have acted on it! Good for you!! My eating is also a work in progress, but definitely keeping at it is much better than giving up!

@nxd10 - Congrats! Did you follow the calorie and nutrient recommendations by MFP or calculate your own percentages?

@godlikepoetyes - 89# - WOW! Great job!!

@luluinca - I agree with @NewMEEE2016 - your biceps are amazing and inspirational!!

@SugarDarlin1959 - your journey sounds very similar to mine. My weight has bounced around over the years too. I have been regularly attending Jazzercise and strength training with weights since January of this year and absolutely love it! Because if some issues with RA and osteopenia, I am trying to increase my bone…

So very motivating!!! Thanks to all who have posted your successes! <3

What is high impact interval training?

I'm so happy I found this thread again! I forgot to mark it. Still working out at least 5 times per week. Attempting to drink more water and stay under 1220 calories each day. Seems to be very difficult for me even though I have tried to add more protein to help fuel my activity. The scale just doesn't seem to move so I…

@Briarhopper2 - Sounds like you have a good understanding of diabetes. It can for sure be tricky and stubborn! 5# is awesome - but definitely you need to make sure it is a healthy loss. I am working on building more lean body mass and doing weight bearing exercises to help with my arthritis and osteoporosis. Weight loss…

How is everybody doing? It's been really quiet lately.

@BeverlyandDavid1984 - your story sounds so very similar to mine! However, I would like to lose about 50#. I have had the MFP app for a couple of years but just began really using it to track calories (food, exercise and water) since March 2016. I haven't really lost any weight yet do to speak; but I have dropped 3" in my…

Hi! I turned 61 this past March. I have been trying to stay at or below 1200 calories a day on MFP. I exercise at least 5 times a week and track all my food. Still finding it very difficult to lose weight. I would love to join your group. Also would love to have friends that I can offer encouragement and support as well as…

I really like this string. The information shared is invaluable. I knew in my heart that the way to lose weight is to eat less but for some reason (over the years), I had convinced myself that exercise was the key to weight loss! I am still exercising faithfully, but am looking at what types of food I eat, the portion size…

Moving closer to our start date of April1! Are you excited?? We have great goals and we WILL be successful in our journey!

Good plan!! I'm going to try and avoid eating my exercise calories too! And increase my water!! Let's go team!!!

Makes perfect sense! Thank you so much for setting up and organizing this challenge!! Here's to health, happiness and weight loss for all!

The spreadsheet does not allow me to enter anything. Will it open April 1?
