Well, February was better than January as I didn't gain weight. I managed to maintain. I would love to see the numbers go down though. I managed to log in here pretty regularly and exercised (walking) more than in January. So my goals going into March would be to log in here all the time, exercise more, and maybe increase…

Thanks @KeriA I got in some light walking in today hope to do more tomorrow but was way over my calories for the day.

Frustrated as mid-month has come around, and February is short so almost over now. I have not been doing so well. I am tracking what I eat and I go over almost every day. I want to be healthier just have a hard time doing it. along with not exercising I say I will do it I put it on my to-do list but doing everything but…

So January was not the greatest. I had trouble keeping in line what I ate. I started recording in here MFP towards the end of the month and it has shown that I overeat by a lot. Trying to scale back has been difficult. Especially when I get stressed I noticed. I was also disappointed that this month I tried to be more…

Thanks everyone for the positive comments I will be using you guys advice and try to log my food everyday and keep up the walking. I will also check out the you tube workout videos uyister recommends. Thanks!

Hi I am new to this support group and thought I would give it a try since I am a little frustrated with my weight. I said this year I would start being more active so started walking 2 weeks ago at least 30 mins 3 times a week and instead of maintaining or losing I have gained 3 pounds since which puts me up to 270 I never…

I just requested to join your group. I am trying to lose 60 pounds this year and get below the 200 pound mark and stay below. Look forward to hearing from you and your group.

Hi Im Alisha looking to lose 60 pounds this year, could use some friends to help keep me accountable too.

I think to be honest size 14 is a good size and if you feel happy and comfortable, you should just maintain being a healthy person. That was about the same size I was when I was at my most healthy and happy, like my pic here is my goal. I would love to get back there and I do have a bit of the self hatred to work with now…

How about eggplant parmesean, w/o parmesean? I made that today was really good. Although sorry the mozzarella is really good. I admire you for not doing dairy and sorry if you are allergic. Anyways, instead of bread crumbs, coat the eggplant in brown rice flour with maybe some sesame seeds or something that will give it a…

Another member gave me advice to plan the day before a rough draft of what you may eat, so that you can try to stay in the calorie range goal. Then you can record later at the end of the day or whenever. Sometimes if I miss a day I will go back and fill it in so it helps me see how I am doing. Although if I miss more than…

Hi Im kinda new to MFP and need some more motivation to get moving and healthy. I like the support you have for one another here and would like to try to join in. I would like to lose almost a 100 pounds but a little less would be great too. As long as I am treating my body better than now, which is over eating on sweets,…

I agree having the support would be nice, one of the main reasons i have joined, i hope i can find it here. Add me hope we can help each other.

Hi I understand emotional eating and the post above has some great ideas. I think for myself and being bi-polar I tend to not think about emotions anymore or why I feel a certain way and just ignore them and eat. Which I need to change and the above has some good ideas about finding why you are emotionally eating. I also…
