I am an old WW devotee, and I even joined WW online. The problem is the dieting is too slow, and the expenses are too high. How often do you have to be told to eat healthy, watch your portion sizes and exercise. I find MFP to be the right price (free); you will figure out for yourself what you can and cannot eat. Moreover,…

I changed careers, and now I work in an early childhood center. My co-teachers are young, fit and trim. I am probably the oldest teacher, and while I can't change my age, I can change my dress/pants size (smile)!! In addition, my left knee and ankle made it difficult to walk. Since I lost weight, my pain and stiffness are…

Congratulations!!! You look fabulous!!! You are an inspiration to many!!! Keep up the good work!!!

Did you try looking up how many calories you should be ingesting on WebMD? According to WebMD, even though I am Obese Class ll, I am not supposed to lose more than 1/2 to 1.5 pounds per week. Are you close to your goal weight? Many people who are only 10-15 pounds overweight have difficulty losing the last few pounds.…

Congratulations on losing 15 pounds!!! It isn't easy, and it isn't always fun!!! The toughest times to me are birthdays and holidays. Everyone is enjoying themselves, and you're about to feel guilty for overindulging. Check out PINTEREST for low calorie recipes. You might find a new way to make your favorite dishes. Have a…

I am 5'4'', and I currently weigh 223.6. Just bought some jeans in size 20; I wear XXL stretch pants from Target. This is an improvement, because I used to wear size 24 pants; I had to use the Plus Size Department at Target. Happy dieting!!!

I log on daily, and I share diet tips as well. Count me in!!!

I need to lose at least 80 pounds to get to a normal BMI. Would love to hear any diet tips you have.

I would love to join your weight loss group!!! I have at least 80 pounds to lose in order to reach the high end of a normal BMI. I am 5'4'' and currently weigh 223.6. I want to get down to 145 pounds at the very least. Good luck to all of us!!!

In order to get another opinion regarding proper calorie intake look at WebMD. Based on your age, weight and activity level as well as how much you want to lose per week, WebMD will give you calorie suggestions. Have fun!!!

Welcome!!! I love your determination to keep on losing. As a person who has over 80 pounds to lose, I can relate to your journey. I have tried WW at least twice, and while it works, it's very slow!!! I prefer my MFP, because it keeps the dieter honest. TIP: When you want to go to one of your favorite restaurants, try…

How did you arrive at the number 1410? Is it the same for everyone, no matter what their weight?

Congratulations!!! I can't wait till I'm half way done!! Keep up the good work!!!

Please add me to your support group. I need all the motivation I can get. The weekends are so challenging for we dieters (lol)!!

I have a supervisor who lost 15 pounds, but numerous inches off her bust, waist and thighs doing 30 minutes of treadmill and 30 minutes of stationary bike 3X a week. She looks great!!! I think losing inches is why we went on a diet!!! Congratulations!!

You look great!! Tell us your secrets!!!

I'd like to join your group!! I've been with MFP for over a year, but just got re-started a few weeks ago. I love counting calories instead of Weightwatchers points. Whatever works for you, keep at it!!

While I wondered about the 1200 calories per day, I went to WebMD; according to my age, height and light activity level they said I should not eat more than 1239 calories per day. Check it out for another opinion. I think your Obesity classification has something to do with how many calories you should consume. I am…

Congratulations!! You look great!! Please give us your diet tips. It really helps!!

When you have a lot of weight to lose, it is natural to lose some steam along the way. But don't do what I did!!! I lost 60 pounds, and I ate back 40 pounds. You have to keep going. Try a new gym or a new exercise regimen!!! Get a girlfriend to encourage you, and start exercising together. I wish you the best of luck in…
