  • I'm back! Managed to lose about 35 pounds here, and then put 20 back on, all in 11 years, so I am Back and just lost my first 2 pounds again!
  • good luck whatever approach you use! I did lose 30 pounds here between 12 & 14 and have basically kept it off, and it was by counting every calorie. i did eat (within moderation) anything I wanted, including drinking almost every day between 8 and 20 ounces of real, sugary coke (my one vice!). I did slide off the wagon in…
  • I never received the scale so followed up -- turns out they are not making them anymore, but the seller right now is crediting my card for the amount of the scale, which I thought was pretty nice. I actually am going to get a set of rechargeable AAA batteries to put in my charger that I already have, and that will help me…
  • That's ridiculous!! When I got married 26 years ago one of my bridesmaids early on told me she was expecting (I had two married friend in my wedding) and she asked if I still wanted her to be my bridesmaid. I said OF COURSE! All 3 of my bridesmaids were gorgeous, all different sizes and looks, and she went on to have her…
  • What a great idea! I have been on here 145+ days and often look at the messages but never saw this before.... :] Did you stay within your nutritional goals? Yes, fairly. I probably need to set some nutritional goals LOL Did I reach yesterday's personal goal? Food wise? I did well really considering we went to Olive Garden…
  • Thank you both! The seller actually offered to send me another one free of charge, I don't even have to send this one back! I am going to take them up on that :)
  • I received this scale yesterday (above) and weighed myself three times and did get the same weight (yay!). For some reason after I did it the "fitness" way with the memory after the weight disappeared it said "error." - don't know why. i have to do more research as the instructions are not terribly detailed. But happy it…
  • How do you like this scale? Only reference to it I saw on here... :) I actually just ordered as well - the price was right and I really needed to get a bigger scale that my husband can see - mine has such tiny numbers I can barely see it and am tired of analog. I don't really care greatly about the extra features -- are…
  • Thank you - and it was still off again this morning so it's real!
  • Still 2 pounds down today so it must be real - yay!
  • Wow - congrats! I am on a 2 month plateau but have lost at least half of my 7 1/4 inches lost during that time. So I know what you mean! I don't think I've lost a size yet but my 16s are feelnig a little better where I was into some 18s before :D
  • This post was very timely for me - thank you! I have been feeling discouraged about a 2 month plateau and had no response from a post I did last week about it and didn't want to bug anyone - lol. This week (today is my official weigh in day) is the official 8th week of the plateau, and of course MFP doesn't show inches…
  • I too am kind of sad at the negative posting, though I can see how at first glance that may be tempting. I know years of all or nothing dieting have not worked for me, and this time I decided to have ANYTHING I wanted to eat, but just in small portions, and I am down 10 pounds. I am absolutely positive that if I cut WAY…
  • My wedding day.
  • I'd like to look how I did on my wedding day!
  • That's great! My goal exactly - I can't wait to do the same thing!
  • Me too! I've lost no weight since March 23, but have lost another 1 1/4 whole inch around my waist during that time! It will be nice to see that needle move though - hoping for this weekend!
  • Thinking of you on your journey! I don't know that I have any new advice over what has been given here, but I wanted to just encourage you that you have done great to make the step of logging your food. That is how I started here as well, in January, didn't make any decisions to restrict, just wanted to start logging. I…
  • Thank you for the replies on Advil Cold and Sinus - that was probably the culprit then! I've been off it for several days now as my cold is better so should probably get a recheck at CVS or somewhere just to see. Mrsanneelk - I also have children with autism/asperger's/ADHD. - Hugs!!!
  • Hi - I've just been on here for 2 months and have learned SO MUCH I didn't know before! I think I'm answering this right - saw no one answered you yet - I believe TDEE is the upper calorie limit to eat, and BMR is the lower. I went to sites recommended on here to figure it out (would have to look them up for you and can,…
  • Hello - I am ill right now with bronchitis and just found out at my appt today that my lower number of blood pressure was 100 and they were concerned about that. I cannot remember the top number. A few years ago I was running in the 90s on the bottom and I was advised to lose weight. I did lose some at that time and the…
  • Hi 5'3" Female HW 197 (briefly in 2010 then lost 12 pounds and stayed 185 for a few years until now) CW 179 LW 120 (1989 last time - went from 165 to 120 between 1984 and 1986) Goal - 120-130 - whenever I get there - no rush!
  • I started tracking here on January 30 of this year, and decided to set my calories high so that I'd have a good chance of staying on it. I had no other reason to do that and had not read all the information that I have now about BMR, TDEE, that has been so enlightening now to me! So it was purely a personal reason that I…
