Just waiting on one more weigh-in and we'll be good to go!

Hello rblee2010, Glad you found MFP, it was exactly what I was looking for with my new lifestyle. I was diagnosed with IBS many years ago but I believe a lot of mine was stress induced. This past three years was probably the most stressful of my entire career, my IBS didn't act up but my weight sure shot up. My profile and…

Good morning everyone! Let's get started. I weighed in this morning at 271 lbs. I have to lose 8.2 lbs. or 2.25 pound each week. You don't have to post your weight here if you don't want to, as long as you private message me with it! Already, @ 4:00 on contestant sent in. WTG jriehl08!

Hey friend let me tell ya, I'm no different than you are. In fact you and I have a lot in common. I've had at least three days in 45 that i went 1000 +/- over. I was eating emotionally tbh. Next day was a new day! Slow and steady wins the race! Slow and steady wins the race! I eat something sweet almost daily. Why? Because…

Weigh in is tomorrow!

I've sent messages to everyone. Also there were three others that ask to be in the group but have not reply yet. Thanks guys for participating!

45 going on 35! LOL!

I found a great article yesterday, (link below) . I recommend you follow the links in the article, it make sense to me. good luck! http://syattfitness.com/fat-loss/the-dieters-dilemma-how-to-stay-full-in-a-caloric-deficit/

I've also been on MFP since Jan. I am a man and I weigh a lot more than you do, but I'm also a very logical thinker. I've wanted to really educate myself and not fall prey to a bunch a bunk. Hopefully what I learn I can help other too. Look at link below, I really thought it was spot on. I also followed the "HERE" link in…

Hey Erin, My wife and I had seven children and I gained ten pounds for each one (sympathy pounds I guess). I have two daughter who each have a child and I gained ten for each of them. LOL. Anyway you can do the math and then add another twenty for good measure. I have dieted much of my life and could always lose ten or…

Hey Lydia, great job so far, you're doing great. I've basically started when and how you did. I do have a lot more to lose than you do though. I just decided in Jan. to log everything I eat. Eat less, eat better and move more. So far I've had weekly progress. My profile and diary are open. I love the encourage others who…

Dude, 100% awesome!

Yes this is how I got started, it has worked very well for me. It keeps me on the straight and narrow.

Feel free to add me, I relate to your story! Best of luck on your journey!

Hang in there! For me, it helped to eat small and eat often (very often). I didn't let myself get too hungry. It has made it really easy for me. Its been seven weeks.

Yes something clicked! It's been seven week plus and I haven't looked back and I haven't struggled. It's been forever since I've done something consistent for seven weeks, especially diets. Mine isn't a diet.

Most definitely water friend, you would have to eat an extra 14, 000 calories to gain four pounds and that wouldn't show up on the scales the same day!

Would someone's age play a factor in the equation. I'm 45, in my late 30's I noticed a big difference taking place in my body's ability to keep and build muscle. Fat was no problem for it.

Me too! Lost some but a long way to go. I'm here for the long haul. Add me if you like.

I agree with this. Eat smaller more often. No expert either but I am losing.

Me too, and I like the payoff.

Hey there, glad to add friends, support is good here!

I'm glad to add new friends here. Love the support.

Glad to add new committed friends on MFP. It's been great motivation.

Hey friend, I can understand what your exactly what your saying. Let's be friends, add me if you like.

I'm 30 mins from Huntsville, just across TN state line.
