You can do this!

That's a great goal. More than two pounds per week isn't safe, realistic or sustainable. You got this!✌️

That's the spirit!

I hadn't thought about it but sounds like a great idea! Happy to set up something through Facebook if that works for folks. We can then also share recipes, tips, etc unless there is a better way to do this. Definitively want to pursue that. It helps a lot particularly when one goes up or stay flat to have a circle of…

We have similar goals! My GW is 135 and I must get there before a July destination wedding I'm attending. We got this, right?

Ok! Let's go for five this month each. That would be about 2 pounds per week which is recommended as sustainable/realistic. Feel free to look at my dairy and offer any tips. To shed the 10 I'm aiming for a carb max of 75 grams daily but I'm sure some weeks I'll be more compliant than others. LOL

There will clearly be differences of opinion and that's what makes these forums great (albeit confusing) because we can only speak as experts based on what we've individually have found to work. My point is that if you are eating your calories back in (hungry or not) then there is no deficit per se. But all great points,…

Don't despair. We're all in this together. Happy to hook up on MFP and share diaries, etc. Don't use those ladies or anyone else as your goal. Aim to be the best version of YOU. Many people go to the gym, a walk, etc. then go home and "reward" themselves with bad food choices tossing their hard work in the toilet! Sugar is…

Don't stress over the differences. EVERY one of these calculators, including what the machines show as burnt calories is an estimate. You should focus on macros (carbs, protein, sugar, salt, fiber and fat) versus calories to see best/quicker results. If you absolutely need a "number" try 1200, see how you do on that and…

Hi and welcome! Incremental goals are the way to go. Once you lose the first five, you'll get pumped about conquering the next five and so on. What's your due date for losing 80 and what are you doing to get there. Friend me if you'd like and let's share diaries, etc.

Well put!

My story: Looking to lose 18 by July for a destination wedding and just because at my height, 153 lbs is too much. I've hit serious plateau and keeping my carb count under 75 grams is the only thing that seems to work for me but my biggest challenge

I'm in! Looking to lose 18 by July for a destination wedding and just because at my height, 153 lbs is too much. I don't at all have a problem with the gym but to lose weight, keeping my carb count under 75 grams is the only thing that works and that's my challenge; not going over. So I feel that if I have a group of folks…

Count me in!

Happy to help and be helped! Have a destination wedding in July and 18 pounds to lose by then. Would love to hook up with folks here by becoming MFP buddies. Wishing you all much success in your respective journeys.

Personally I'm pleased to have reached that point when my workouts are something I look forward to. Some days I'm less enthusiastic than others but I certainly do not hate it. We have to start thinking of exercising as something we HAVE vs MUST do. It's the ultimate fountain of youth and once we look at it from that…

Well, my August goals spill into September as I am hoping to be at goal weight for my 52nd birthday. If if doesnt happen, I'm happy knowing I tried hard. Ramona - Boston MA

Don't worry about going twice. Just make the one time you go really count!

Download the fitness buddy app. It has exercises and workouts by body parts with animated instructions. Bodybuilding and Muscle and Strenght.com are also great resources. Your gym should also offer (free) a complimentary session with a staff member that can show you how each machine works. Good luck.

Wished we lived closer :(

I must admit that I don't understand this starvation mode thing. I have been consuming less than 1200 calories a day for over 6 months now. I'm at the gym between 5 and 6 am and work out 5-6 times a week, leaving 400-600 calories behind with each workout. Everyone (including my food tracker) tells me I am eating too low…

RAmelia CW 154 GW 135 Age 49 Seriously dieting and exercising since January. Lost 11 pounds and somehow gained it all back without altering diet, exercise routine. What gives! Frustrated beyond belief so hoping to find a buddy to ride this journey with me.
