  • Welcome...I (rejoined) MFP last summer at 51 although I wasn't at my highest weight, I was still quite a bit higher than my low, and had lots of related health issues. My goals (was and still is) to get back to a "normal" weight, which was about 60# total. To date, I'm down 45# from that point, with the rest to go. My plan…

  • For every drug that any of us takes, there's a determination (tacit or otherwise), as you said, that "the benefit is greater than the risk of the side effects." In most cases, the longer term impacts of the weight loss should far outweigh the methods...Personally, I wouldn't consider using Phen (I get jittery on certain…
    in 90 pounds in 8 months with MFP (and a little pharma help) Comment by joebeauchesne January 2022
  • I'm 52 and down 35 since the start of June (moving from obese to overweight in the process), down 25 since October when I really started paying attention with MFP, with a targeted weight loss of around 5 pounds per month. Got just over 25 to go to a normal weight, though likely I won't stop there.

  • Took me about 3 months to lose 30, 5 to lose 50, and 9 to lose 85 - and its been basically 9 months that its stayed off - a few have come back (really by design), but I'm holding firm around the 85 pound mark!!!

  • I've never used the F6, but my wife had the F4, and she didn't really care for it. I had an F11, which she inherited a few months ago when I upgraded to the FT60, and she likes it much better. I think the main difference for her is that the F4 (and likely the F6) doesn't really keep much historical workout data. I think…
