Wow that's awesome!!! Just with Mfp?

I need help. I am currently 223 lbs 236 at my highest 198 was my lowest in the last 15 years. I feel discouraged, defeated, depressed I want to cry about needing to lose almost 100lbs. Honestly it feels like it won't happen. But I have a cruise planned in November. I REALLY want to get this under control. And feel better…

So trying to get a nice fresh start. Lots to go at least 70 in about a year. I know it's doable just overwhelming. Really wish I had some accountability partners and a fire under my butt!

How was the cruise?

I'm starting at 222 now and hoping to get to 150

Ooh february isn't far at all how exciting!

Wow that's an amazing goal!!!!

I have NEVER worn a bikini but someday... yes someday I will. You look great!!!!

Do you have your 30 yet?

I started at 236 I'm at 198. I have definitely had my ups and downs. I love to talk and try to support daily. I would love to do that for you and anyone else. I'm from the Pacific Northwest. Feel free to add me. I think having a support group is the best thing ever!! Good for you for reaching out.

I really like mine. It's nice to be able to track how much I sleep and actual steps. It's nice to be able to shower in it. I will be honest I'm not always quite sure how to log the extra workouts with MFP/Fitbit and how that all works out. I have just been using what the Fitbit says for the most part. I also like that it…

You look stunning.

Hi I'm Lona, I started at 236 I'm teetering between 195 and 201 believe it or not two days ago it said 195.6 and today it said 201.4 go figure. This teeter totter has been months grrrr. And I have been eating under calories. Maybe time for a new scale because that just doesn't seem right. Anyway, I would love to support…

I am totally unfamiliar with instagram? How do you follow someone?

AWESOME!!! How much do you walk? that was to crb1988 :) didn't quote oops.

I am encouraged!!!!! thank you for sharing. I'm sure I will feel the same when I get this weight off. I'm at around 200lbs.

<That's me so far :)

WOW you look awesome!!! Was your belly ring a reward for losing the weight? I have never even had a glimmer of a thought of one cause of being fat... something to think about when I finally get rid of this middle. Keep up the great work your hard work shows.

You look absolutely beautiful, stunning really. I pray that you can see yourself through different eyes because you really are gorgeous. Thank you for sharing your story I enjoyed reading every minute of it and it gives me hope it took me all of last year to lose 30 lbs but I will keep plugging along I know I can do it -…

Well this week didn't go so good not sure why. I exercised more than I have for a long time. SW: 236 CW: 204.4 GW: 136 Weigh in Dates: 1/1 = 205.2 1/8 = 204 1/15 = 204.4 1/22 1/28

I don't care if I lost 100 lbs I would totally be freaking out posting myself in a bikini for the world to see I think. So I think you rocked it. You look great by the way, I can't wait to look back after 100lbs lost.

I'll be honest - I have the app on my phone and log when I eat at work. At home I am on my laptop a lot (like right now) and tend to read the posts and comment and catch up in the evening on the laptop. If I plan to go out to dinner and know what I am going to eat I prelog. I don't mind logging during the day. Especially…

I'm joining late too....but this is a great goal! Thanks for starting the thread Usbornegal! SW: 236 CW: 202 GW: 136 Weigh in Dates: 1/1 = 205.2 1/8 = 204 1/15 = 1/22 1/28 Total weight lost: 30lbs Shortformyweight - you can do this. I have been off track since november myself but back to it in January 2nd. And Smilesback -…

It looks amazing! Very pretty and sassy!

Well I got the sheet to work. I am going get serious now and try not to be under/over the target calories. Today I committed to upping my calories. I am going from 1200 to 1547 I had been playing with it for a few days and calculated everything and am going to really give it a go this week. I am afraid but I know I can't…

I was able to get the spreadsheet to work. It says the following: Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) 1,547 Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) 2,235 Total Daily Eating Goal (TDEG) 1,585 Average Daily Deficit Calories 650 So you just jumped in and ate your TDEE? and did a reset. How long did you eat at your TDEE? I can't even…

Totally a pain just had to convert everything to grams for my sandwhich but maybe that will make me think twice before I estimate:) Thanks for the feedback.

I usually use a scale and whenever they have it broken down in oz I use it but a lot of the generic ones on the site don't have it in oz. If it's homeade like someone brought over ciabatta bread I don't know quite how to log it. But if I make more food at home I should be able to weigh out more accurately. I will…

Just started myself I am on day 6. I'll let ya know.
