Thank-you Mystic - it worked! I lost 2 lbs this week. My base calories are 1200 also. I only went over once this week! And nothing to eat after dinner. First time to achieve that. It was very hard. I actually had stomach pains the first couple nights but it's getting easier. My goals this week are: 1) Do not go over the…

My goal this week is to not add or use exercise calories. I think that is keeping me from losing and encouraging extra eating. Does everyone here let MFP determine your calorie needs? I've checked on other sites and get a wide range of limits - from 1000 - to 1600 per day. I could triple any of those and still feel hungry.…

Is anyone using this group anymore? Or did you all go to a different group?

I just want to be sure I let all of you great people know how much I appreciate your posts and that I wish you all the best with so many different struggles going on. I still think I'm missing a lot here. Just not used to having to scroll down to read the latest I guess - although I try to go slow and read it all. Still…

I'm doing ok with the water- from basically none to 5 or 6 a day. I do have to flavor it though. The calorie thing is usually one of tow things - 1) I underestimate calorie count so am over when I log or 2) I am just so hungry I snack too much at night. During the day I can usually find ways to distract myself. After…

Is there a way to set the messages so we see the newest at the top of the list? I seem to miss a lot by having to scroll to the end to find things...Also to try to keep my Step for this week - sticking to a calorie breakdown for meals/snacks so I don't go over all the time, I need to find a list of filling items that are…

Did not make any of my steps!! Maybe I need to start with one - keeping calories in check. - My step this week is: - Divide calories among meals & snacks and stick to it! Making a chart to help with this.

So very sorry that you all are going through such a sad time. Sending strength and comfort.

Just wanted to share that I did reduction about 15 years ago. Best decision ever!

Blew it badly last week. So here are the baby steps for 3/1 to 3/7: 1) Stop eating when calorie limit is met - no matter the time of day. 2) Work in my Shed at least 1 hour on at least 4 days 3) Increase water intake

After dinner is still bad for me.

I could maybe lean against the wall LOL Before treatment made me so sick I taught some classes for exercise and balance designed for seniors or those with disabilities. Also did warm water exercise class. The center went bankrupt so that option is gone - but I am pleased with the progress I've made on our treadmill.

I just want to feel better. Working on my weight will help ease some of my pain and give me back some of the stamina I lost. :)

Finally found my way here! Thank-you for inviting me ladies. It also took me a while to realize that I had to go to the end of the posts to be current - duh!! I am 66, my doctor is not helpful at all, partner can eat as much as he wants and is still skinny. So My Fitness Pal is my only real support. We have an inexpensive,…

Finally figured out where my group invites were :) My goal this week is to stop the evening binging. I will plan a healthy snack and eat only that.

I am grateful that my partner is finally realizing that I really can't eat like he does. My New Year's resolution is to stick with this no matter how discouraged I get.

That was a great intro to 2015!! I can barely figure out how to find my way around in here - some folks have real creative ability! :) (*)

The physical therapist said I was right. It's the T-band too tight and bursitis in a joint. I will go once a week to check in. He said it will take time - not an easy fix. Just knowing helps. Now to see if I can get the fibromyalgia and myocardial flare up under control and find a doctor who will help with my adrenal…

Hello Maitria. I start physical therapy today. Hope that helps me enough to be able to be more active.

Have a great Holiday with your family and we'll see you in 2015.

Hello everyone. I found you via DamitJanet - thanks for telling me about this group. This is a very hard time of year for me. My boyfriend doesn't do Holidays and I've learned that it's easier to go along with him than to listen to constant criticism about it. We will have a Holiday breakfast with my children &…

Is anyone else still in this group? ;)

Hi I am fairly new to MFP and just joined this group. My doctor is no help. Just says I must be eating more calories than I say and need to exercise more. Right now my hip hurts so bad I don't even want to walk or stand. Dr. said it's not my hip but my lower back. I'm 66, 70 lbs. overweight, in pain all the time and so…

I'm starting my 4th week here & did real bad last week. I need support & ideas to help keep me on track

Thank-you - I'll keep looking. Just trying to find my way around this site :flowerforyou:

Found link to this website on "the other" program Facebook page. I just joined that one on 8/26 and having a bit of trouble finding info I need. And am HUNGRY. I'm hoping with the two sites I can develop a good program for myself. One of the problems is I can't find info specific to the elderly - especially exercise ideas.…
