2,300 btw is exactly the number my Fitbit gives me. It is spot on.

I have found it more difficult as I get older. It may also be because I've been a yoyo dieter and lost the same 20-40 lbs many times and my body is efficient. Losing weight, and maintaining, isn't fun. Or easy.

Got them on my boobs during puberty. Got them on my stomach with four kids, including twins. I was self conscious of the ones on my boobs in my early 20's but I could give two shiites now. Hubby doesn't care. He just likes the boobs. I'm proud of the ones on my stomach actually! My body has made four babies. How awesome is…

Urban rebounding if you have a mini trampoline.

I get seasonal depression and walking in the woods with my dogs helps me immeasurably. Most of the time I have to force myself to do it. My dogs help with that too. Even just a short daily walk might help. I'm sorry for your losses.

I make my own fermented pickles and sauerkraut. I Garden and "put by" a lot of food for the winter. Nothing like opening a jar of pickled beets from your garden to enjoy on a snowy Minnesota winter day :) One thing I need to get better at is lightening up some of my cooking. I tend to use a lot of full fat dairy, stuff…

Thanks for the encouragement everyone. I guess I just needed a pep talk. It's good to know there are others out there who fit their love of food into losing weight!

I have premium because I don't like the advertising.

Before my kids were in school I worked out before or after my husband was at work, sometimes during the day I'd squeeze in yoga. When my twins were babies I had a sitter 10 hrs a week and that was helpful but I know not for everyone's budget. I found focusing more on my diet and cooking was easier than working out…

Their new program is very restrictive and very low calorie. I would stick with straight forward MFP.

I do all my menu planning for the week on Monday mornings. I collect cookbooks and usually pick a new one each week to try new recipes. I make what looks good, what my family likes, and make sure I count calories. Pick up a few healthy cookbooks and try new recipes that everyone will like. But don't cook two separate…

Oh my aching bones

I found the new program demoralizing which is why I switched back to MFP. I've gone back and forth between the two usually going to WW when I burn out on calorie counting. Their new program is very low calorie (I double tracked) and sugar, saturated fats are heavily weighted. I am not a sugar fiend but I do like a hot…

I do not prolog my days. But I do my menu planning and grocery shopping on Mondays so I know what my week generally looks like. I've been thinking of doing this more to see if it can help as sometimes I snack too much during the day so I don't have very many calories left for dinner. I hate those days!

I'm 5'6" and reached goal at 145 this past summer. I felt great and wore a size 6. I've gained a few pounds back and want to get back down to 145. I have a medium frame.

I'm going through the same thing. I've gained 15 pounds in the three months since I've stopped Wellbutrin. In that time I've been counting calories or following Weight Watchers or a combination of both. I'm going to my dr to see what's up this week. I got to my goal weight of 145 on Wellbutrin, although I was taking it for…

yes, me. I've lost 40 lbs. and I still feel so chunky. I'm in the healthy BMI range, I wear a size 6, and I'm fit and active. This morning I wanted to do some gardening and I was sooooo scared to put on a pair of my gardening pants that used to be so tight on me I couldn't bend over in them to pick weeds. I put them on and…

I've been on it for a few years. I lost weight at first but after the appetite suppressing effects I gained weight. It exponentially exaggerated my anxiety which is why I'm tapering off currently, and it's NOT fun getting off this med. I've heard people gain weight coming off of it so I'm being very, very diligent about…

I'm one for which it's not accurate. I weigh and measure all of my food, I cook from scratch a lot so I manually enter all my recipes, etc. but I should have reached my goal weight a long time ago with the Fitbit numbers and I should be able to eat much more than I can to lose weight. I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but…

Lose 10ish more pounds (I've lost 40). Continue to eat a healthy vegan diet. Walk 1 hour most days and do yoga most days. I don't have a timeline for my last ten. I'm trying to be patient :)

yep, scale hasn't moved for me in August but my clothes are fitting much better! I love it!

Wow, sooooo true! Well done.

Hi! Vegan here too, with 10 lbs to lose. I started at 185 last Fall and I'm at 145 now, looking to get to 135. I ate mostly low fat, low sodium raw this summer and lost weight pretty quickly. But now that it's going to be fall soon I am switching to a more balanced, cooked food vegan diet again. These last 10 lbs are…

Cooked oats, muesli and granola.

I'm a yoga teacher as well. I teach mindful and yin yoga. I think the athleticism of yoga is good for some people, but for others we benefit more from the slower versions :)

Unsweetened vanilla blue diamond. Whole Foods unsweetened vanilla is super tasty too, if you are ever near one.

Cadbury mini eggs! I eat a whole bag every Spring. I hide them from my children and eat them over the course of the Easter season. My weakness.

As I've lost weight I've gone from a 36C to a 34D. Makes sense now!

I've lost with walking, lots of gardening and yard work, and occasionally yoga, pilates, or rebounding. Nothing very extreme or intense. I do exercise I know I love and can maintain forever.

I'm at the very top end of the BMI chart range. My goal is to be in the middle because that's where I feel best. It's not a goal I chose by the BMI chart, but by where I feel good and comfortable. It just happens to coincide with the chart. Sometimes I don't understand why there isn't a different chart for women and men,…
