Hi Before I joined MFP I was losing about 2lbs a week (91bs total) but since I've joined here I've only managed to lose another 2lbs which is disappointing. I weigh myself every day. When I was losing it was encouraging to see the scales going down and now it's a bit demoralising but it keeps me determined either way.…

Hi everyone I hope it's ok for me to join this group. I was 293 in the summer before I joined MFP...I lost 9lbs before I joined and the n 2lbs after I joined but since then I haven't lost a thing :( I find the challenge of the amount I need to lose completely overwhelming especially as I have been doing my best to limit my…

this is a concern of mine too (once I get over the concern of actually losing the weight in the first place!) I read that strength training, hydration and losing the weight slowly helps.

Please can I join this group? I started out on MFP at 282 but in August I was 293. I really identify with everything everyone has said and have been inspired by the messages here. Sometimes the challenge ahead seems overwhelming especially now as I have been trying so hard with exercise and calorie counting but in the last…

I suppose people are different...personally I appreciate anyone who takes the time to look at what I'm doing and comment on it. It's nice when people comment on the positive as well as the negative and realise that I do know what I should be eating I just can't stop eating what I shouldn't!! good topic by the way :)

An interesting question....I don't know but I was wondering are you better to work harder for a shorter length of time or not so hard for a longer time? It's quite a science all this isn't it? I'm learning every day.

count me in....i'm doing well with my new exercise regimne but not so well with sticking to calories...and weight loss...maybe this will help me with that. now 280 dec 25 260 thanks for organising :)

Hi...I need to lose 150lbs....I've done relatively well with introducing exercise into my daily routine but need to get my calories and nutrition under control. Looking for supportive friends here and will encourage you too. Feel free to add me if you think we can help each other :)

Yes..If i lose1lb a week that will still be good...as long as things go in the right direction :) No I haven't really got my exercise planned out...I need to do that!! The back prob is sacrailliac joint (don't know how to spell it) have got exercises which help and just avoid anything that aggravates it...it's improved a…

Hello I'm Kat...I live in York in the UK and have just started MFP aiming to lose a whopping 150+lbs. Ive enjoyed getting back into doing regular exercise and reducing my food intake. I really want to succeed and change my eating and exercise habits for good but I also feel daunted by how far I have to go. If I make steady…

My goal is to stick to my MFP calorie allowance and to lose 2lbs per week. On the fitness front I am currently walking, cycling on a stationery bike, using a treadmill, cross trainer and doing some weights and low impact aerobics. I've never succeeded in losing weight...I think my pitfalls are becoming despondent if I…

Thanks for sharing this :)

Yes, your story does help. I'm following you up that hill :)

I like what you say. Thank you.

I'm new here and don't know much about this weight loss etc but I do know you mustn't give up! Keep going.

I'm just starting out with a similar amount to lose...I'd be happy to be your friend along the way.
