I also watch my sodium b/c of water weight.

Hi I started MFP on Jan 7 and have lost almost 35 lbs w/o exercise. I wish I felt like exercising but it is possible. No book needed, I just followed recommendations here.

I normally eat 2 tbs of pb and wheat thins with a piece of fruit mid morning oh and I have a large dt dew with that

Lol abt vodkas, i would think too few cals with your exercise regiment

My husb is supportive but does fry foods and I eat or dont. As long as he doesnt bring cookies and cakes in the houde were ok.

Emma cant give suggestions with no info but you are not giving us any info to work with

You are doing a great job. Yes eat at least your goal calories every day and exercise calories. 6 lbs per month is crazy optimistic. Good luck.

I gained 6 lbs overnight, 1lb fluctuates everyday. Take it easy on yourself.

Hello and welcome. Im 43 and on here ebery day, not a big talker on here but Ill listen. Feel free to add me and good luck.

Hi Im 43 started in Jan at 219 and now low of 184. You can do it too.

Our dogs are pound hounds.

My folks dog just passed and they are discussing same breed - lap dog.

Wow youve done a fantatic job!

How many calories are you eating a day? DO YOU EAT YOUR EXERCISR CALORIES BACK? (Sorry nook got stuck) Are you on meds? Lots of variables.

I agree with this, happened to me in June and it took 2 weeks to lose.

For me this is true

I weigh every day but log every Monday.

Yeah this.

What do you consider a cheat?

It certainly can affect the way your body looks.

Yeah listen to her she obviously knows of what she speaks - great weight loss!!!

I looked at your diary and this week you seem to be doing a good job logging. I'm happy to see you are logging and eating back your exercise calories; also logging water. A week or so ago there where days that you were not logging so I didn't go any further than that. Also when listing homemade hot dogs, homemade fries,…

Definitely best NSV ever! Loving it for you too.

Sounds like we are on similar paths; I started at 219 on 1/7/2013 and have about 15 lbs to go by the end of the year to reach 50 lbs.

If it makes you feel better knowing you have 300 calories to use towards something yummy - go for it.

You're doing great. It will ebb and flow; my weight loss looks like a set of stairs - up and down but it comes eventually as long as you continue working at a realistic pace. Remember this is for your life long so be realistic ... and forgiving. (Good luck - you're doing great.! I see you just posted again and wanted to…

Hi, I began on 1/7/2013 after having reached a high (low) of 219. I am now at 185 having reduced my caloric intake and reducing the amount of processed foods I intake. I have a 10 year old and it's exciting to see how he is 'thinking' about his food choices now. I'm sorry we missed one another last month and hope you are…

Gotta love the gift cards under those circumstances - HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Hi I'm 43 work full-time and my husband and I have a 10 year old. I've been in physical therapy multiple times because of my back but during past few years things are so much better so I understanding not being able to physically do for yourself.
