My husband and I both decided we needed to change what we were doing, and we both were very overweight (over 100lbs each to lose). We went to a nutritionist who prescribed 30mg for both of us. I have to say, for the most part, I have not appetite, and it is very easy to skip meals. I am also on a 1,200 calorie diet, my…

I am so incredibly happy that I have found MFP, I agree with everyone's post from going to the bathroom to getting an extender belt on a plane. With summer finally on it's way, I HATE that I can't get on the rides at amusement parks, I love roller coasters. I spent the last 3 years not wanting to be around anyone except my…

I totally understand not getting to 1,200 calories per day, I was there too when I first started with MFP. My eating used to be so out of control, I had no idea how many calories I was eating. When I decided to start this journey, I would only eat things that were less than 100 calories per serving, and I was reallys…

Hi all! I'm Jodi from Ohio (what is it about this state?) I just began this journey after a lifetime of being heavy but pretty active. I coached football for little league, led our church youth group for years, etc. Then my job got more demanding, and I found myself at a desk more and more. Now i work from home (same job),…

OK, I am obviously new to these rooms, but my comment is for the one that I quoted in the post below....I am sooo looking forward to that!

Hi, I will be 52 in August and just a few weeks into this journey myself. I need to lose 100+ lbs (a long string of excuses for getting that far), but my first goal is 50lbs. I would love to add any of you who are starting like me or have been this road for awhile. I am excited, motivated and already feeling better, just…

Hello, my name is Jodi. I am typing this through my tears, so please excuse any typos. I am 51 and 5ft 2.5in (have to get that extra half inch in there) and 3 weeks ago, I weighed 337. I have been heavy for most of my life, but not anything that I was alarmed with, I had never had any negative physical consequences from my…

Thanks, this is getting easier as we continue. I started putting some peanut butter on a whole wheat flat round bread for a quick protein/calorie catch up on the days we come in low. Davis, I did exactly that, I went to lo-cal and fat-free everything, totally changed all of the foods we were doing, so that makes sense. I…
