Yes I think you are trying to eat too little. You should be decreasing your calories by approx. 500 less per day based on your TDEE. MFP automatically put me at 1200 cals but that was too low so I increased it to 1500 per day and I am losing weight. If you decrease by 500 per day - every week you should lose 1 pound (500 x…

My family and I limit it to once a week (usually Sat or Sun) as a treat. We used to eat it 2-3 times a week (alternate burgers, pizza, subs, fish (take-out fish), chinese food, etc.) and you eventually get sick of it. I don't want to cut it out all together because it is convenient when we are out during a meal time. Just…

wow - great job - your too young for me but your a little hottie now.

I tried these a couple of months ago. I ate them for one month and didn't change anything else with my diet and I was not exercising. Nothing happened - I didn't lose any weight and in fact gained a couple of pounds. I thought that the pills would take care of my metabolism and I didn't have to do any work - NOT SO. My…

thanks for the bump replies

I fairly new to MFP and I keep seeing "bump". What does that mean?

thanks

Oh my gosh! You look like a different person. You should be EXTREMELY PROUD of yourself. Losing weight and getting healthier is hard work. Kudoos to your husband for getting on the bandwagon too! If you and he have same goals, it will be easier for the two of you to maintain the new lifestyle. Wow, Wow, Wow.

Oh my gosh - I know how you feel. Every year goes by and I think I should start `now` because summer is coming. I don`t and a few months later I am beating myself up about it. This year I did not want to wait until January so i started two days before Halloween. Halloween was hard to get thru and I did hit some bumps but…

Figured it out. There have been a few days when I didn't log in that day because busy and logged the next day for the previous day.. Apparently that breaks the running total - who knew! You have to log in at least once a day to have your days accumulated. Oh well... I know now for future.

will do - thanks

Yes, I have logged in every day ??????

What a great transformation. You are really into the numbers and it shows. Good job.

I find this very sad. Motivation does not come from harsh statements. I agree that divorce is not a nice thing and I understand that you want to keep the marriage but I once heard a quote that I think is amazing in every way - "You teach people how to treat you". If you allow it, it will continue.

I looked at your pics and you don't look like you need to lose another 51 pounds. Be sure you are shooting for a realistic number. As a person who has been putting on and losing the same 20 pounds my whole adult life, it doesn't get any easier. I joined MFP in October but didn't really get started until November. Never…

Wow - a lot of work must have went into putting these notes together. Good for you and thanks for the info.
