I am very happy to hear you have been back in recovery for 2 months now. That is great. I would be happy to join with you in the weight challenge too. We can do this.

There might be an easier way, but here is how I do it. Go to FOOD then click on Breakfast, Lunch or Dinner (or what ever choices you want to delete from. Click on Add Food and then on Frequent. It will give you an opportunity to select what you want to delete and then you click on the delete button. If someone finds an…

Hi I am 71 years old and have been of MFP for about 6 months and have lost 30 lbs. I love to cook and create healthy recipes. I modify many current ones to make them more healthy. I love to encourage people and help them over the bumps in the road. My friend list ranges from 27 year old's to 70+ years old's. You are…

I believe in natural healing, whenever possible. Have you tried warm sweetened almond milk. Perhaps put some camomile tea in the warm milk. This seems to ease any stomach issues I might have. If you like chicken, maybe cut the pieces small and put it into a soup without spices. Stay away from harsh spices and tomato…

I wish that I would have worked more with my daughter when she was 14. She also had many psychological and eating problems. She is now 26 years old and weighs about 300 lbs and still has eating and psychological problems. If I had taken a more active role when she was younger I might have been able to help her not to get…

Hello, I have been a vegetarian for 3 years and went totally vegan 6 months ago. I have had 2 back surgeries, heart procedure and knee surgery. I was not able to stand without a cane and even then there was pain. I was way over weight. Since I joined MFP and started the exercise and nutritional program I have lost 22 lbs…

When I was 61 I felt like I was over the hill and too big. I refused to give up hiking. I had got up to 268 lbs. To prove I was still able to do the things that the younger skinnier me used to do. I decided to climb up to the top of a mountain near by. It took me 3 hours but I climbed that sucker. Coming down from the…

This is one that I can't help you with. I have never used one. The different results probably depends on the way body fat is calculated. I am going to do some research on them.

Hello. I am 71 years old and am now pretty active thanks to MFP. I was 268 lbs and now I am down to 241 lbs. Four months ago I could not stand up without a cane and now I can walk 3 miles a day without a cane or pain. The success is based on determination and having a strong and supportive support group. If you would like…

I was an alcoholic for 15 years and kept eating and let my health go to rot. I have been alcohol free for 670 days. Having 1 drink a month is not a good way to kick it. Drinking is an obsession. I replaced it with another obsession. Loosing weight and getting healthy. I hit 268 lbs 2 months ago. Now, thanks to my support…

Good luck to you. I am going from vegetarian to vegan. I love cooking and I love creating new recipes and converting many recipes to vegan recipes. I collect cook books and I have probably over 20 vegetarian cook books. When you first start being a vegetarian you might want to include some of the Morningstar or Boca…

Hello, I am trying to loose 45 lbs by the end of 2013. I joined a gym, but I don't go much because I have no transportation. I have discovered that given an area of 4' x 8' I can, with determination, work out enough to maintain my diet and loose weight. Having a TV is a bonus. You can work out with music and videos. In…

I have read some paranormal romances. My favorite are time travel romances. I have read all of Susan Plunkett, Constance O'Day-Flannery, Judith O'brien, Jenny Lykins. There are other Time Travel Romance writers out there too. My favorite romance writers are Barbara Delinsky, Jude Deveraux and Fern Michaels. I just started…

I hear what you are saying. My right knee is starting to go again. I got 4 spine shots recently which helped my knee and lower back and I have been doing good but now it is starting to wear off and I know I will have more knee and back problems soon. If you try and work harder when you are not in pain so you can coast more…

I am very glad that you are taking a vegetarian route. I am a 70 yr old vegan. I am trying to get my 26 yr old daughter to eat healthier but it is a struggle. She needs to loose another 70 lbs. I also love to cook. I love to create vegetarian dishes. I also collect cookbooks and have about 20 vegetarian ones. I have posted…

Hello Tasha. I am 70 yrs old with 60 lbs to loose and my daughter is 26 with 100 lbs to loose. We are both using MFP with good success. We both support each other. I love to cook and she loves to eat. I am also a vegan and she is a picky meat eater. I do all the cooking so I fry to find healthier ways to cook existing…

Hello, I just wanted to let you know that becoming a vegetarian is a very healthy way to go. I am not knocking the meat eaters. We all live in the same world, we just choose to eat different things. I became a vegetarian be I love meat. I mean I LOVE meat. I realized that I needed to eat meat with every meat. I looked in…

Hello. I know hard it is to get up onto the weight loss bandwagon and stay there without falling of. If you do fall off, you need a life line of motivators to pull you back on. MFP is a good way to do that. There are many of us who know where you are coming from. I was 268 (goal weight is 195) and my daughter was 300 lbs.…

Hello. I know what you mean about holiday eating. If you are a person who just can't avoid the holiday foods. Use a smaller plate and smaller portions, specially on the dieter's no-no foods. I got up to 268lbs and my daughter 300 lbs. I am now down to 248lbs and still have a long way to go. My daughter and I working…

Hello. You have a great way of looking at your situation. I am 70 and am trying to loose the weight I gained since I retired just spending most of my day in front of a computer screen. I even tried to find ways of loosing weight at the computer. I tried swivel chair aerobics (kept hitting my printer with my butt), under…

I am 6'1" and was 268 lbs. I am now 250 since I joined MFP. There may people who have encouraged me and I would like to encourage you. I am 70 years old and have a daughter who weighs 295 lbs at 5'7". Loose the weight now. I waited too long, but I can still help others not to make my mistake. I have tried all kinds of…
