Hey, I'm in the US live in Washington State way in the northwest of the state, in the northwest of the US about 70 miles from the Canadian border. Started this site last year lost 21 lbs. gained back some several times during the year but still am a solid 21 down, my goal is to start1 Jan and lose another 20.

You know what screw all of them. All my long life I have been fat with ups and downs. When I was "skinny" no one said crap, unless it was to ask me if I had Cancer or something else, when I'm fat they don't hesitate to tell me, or couch their comments in "hey big guy, here eat this your a good eater or some other crap"..…

I would like to be your friend. I started on this site a year ago. I lost 24 lbs. and gained 3 back. I gained 1,2,3,4,5,6 lbs. back several times during the last half of the year via vacations etc. So I'm starting tomorrow my goal is to lose 20 which will be a solid 40 lbs. Welcome, you;ll find the people generally helpful…

Can I join? Don't know about sexier I'm an old man, would be beyond possibilties, but want a group to lose weight with.

OK I'm from the US in the northwest corner about 75 miles from the Canadian border. Have been with this site about a year (anniversary 2 Jan) lost about 21 lbs. some of that a couple times. Want to start in earnest agin on 1 Jan and want to lose another 20, looking for friends, thanks

know what you mean some days I'm just starving at 2000 calories, other days I feel pretty good with 1400.

Welcome, I think that you will like it. The people are nice and supportive too.

Do what is best for you, the heck with him, you can do better.

Great welcome. I found it by accident when I was trying to determine the calories in a food item. For almost three weeks it has been a big help to me. The people are nice too.

I agree with you. In the past I have used buddy passes given to me by daughter and it was the same crap, you have to meet with a trainer first. That's why I work out at home.

You go girl.

Hey there a hardy hi ho and welcome. Your daughter seems like a fantastic person, you can do it. Don't forget go bears.

Fatbook I like that and an going to use it.

You sound like a great daughter who loves her dad a whole bunch. Although I am now retired for many year I rotated shifts every 28 days. It plays heck with your schedule, we rotated backwards I.e. Midnights to afternoons to days. When I first started out I gained a ton of weight. I tried living normal peoples schedule…

Hi Ed welcome, glad your here, even though you may not know it yet. I'm trying to lose weight to help my sugar levels, which my dr.said were starting to become a problem.

In my opinion based upon nothing, I feel that the balanced beam scale, like the ones they used to use (pre digital) in medical offices. If you place it on a hard floor, versus carpeting, you get the best readings. Some even have adjustments to adjust it. I was able to tweak mine I put a10lb bag of flour on it and set it…

Good luck, been there done that. I figure conservatively that I have lost 500 lbs over my lifetime. Hopefully they'll stay off this time. So far so good,if I can do it so can you.

Ahhhhh Irish Whiskey only 69 calories per ounce, trouble is I want that as a double and repeated a couple of times.

Good luck and best wishes, hang in there if it gets tough.

Yep, I like cocktails, but since I've started I have really cut back, the other day I treated myself to 2 5oz glasses of wine. 260 calories. I guess you can have what you want, the fancier the more calories. Sorry,

Thanks, it seemed pretty easy (the MFP) so I started questioning whether I was doing it correctly.

Hello, I'm new too, one week on MFP. I hope I have been figuring calorie intake correctly. Can anyone answer? Example, if MFP says I can have 1500 daily calories, then I add 500 exercise calories does that mean I can have 2000 for the day. I hope that is the way I would hate to start over.

Finished first week, hopefully I'm doing Ok. I hope I'm doing this correctly, can someone advise me? The way I'm doing it, MFP establishes the daily calories you can have during a day, once you supply your target weight and goals. When you add exercise, do those count as extra calories? In other words if MFP says I can…
