I also use a Fitbit, I like that it synchs with MFP. I use a treadmill and the Fitbit works great.

It's great you are working with your doctor. Keep up the great work as you will find what works for you. Healthy eating and exercise will always be part of your equation. One thing to keep in mind is that you should eat enough calories to match your exercise minus your weight loss goal. Perhaps you are not eating enough?…

That sounds pretty high to me as well. I am using a Fitbit to track my burned calories...love it!

Welcome! MFP has worked very well for me and my friends. I just met my goal this week, in time for my 40th birthday. It's changed my perspective on what it means to be healthy! You will do great!!

Great job! Take a look at the Success Stories message board. What great stories and motivation to be seen there. This is a great community of people making their lives better, just like you!

Honestly, that's a lot of weight per week to lose. Set yourself a goal to be healthy, but don't put a time limit on it. You will find in 7 weeks, you will be very happy with yourself if you set a realistic goal and stick to it. I also made a mission for myself to get into a healthy lifestyle before I turn 40 (next week!).…

I believe MFP asks you if you want to reassess after each 10 lb milestone as your body will adjust uniquely. It's just a standard milestone to ask you, are you losing the weight in an appropriate amount of time (not too fast), are you taking in enough calories, are you getting enough exercise? It's up to you if you think…
