  • I set it to 60 minutes a week of working out (that means going to "Curves" twice a week).
  • Exactly. If I ignore it then I get ravenous and want to eat everything in the house. haha
  • I am 5 foot 3 inches and need to lose about 115 pounds. I plugged in that I wanted to lose 2 pounds a week and that's what MFP came up with for me.
  • I weigh daily....it helps me stay honest. I don't stress if I've gained a pound or so because it's usually gone in a couple of days. I know that I fluctuate up and down every day so I don't get upset or obsessive.
  • I don't cook so I live on Lean Cuisine and Smart Ones and any other low-cal frozen foods I can find. If it fits in the microwave and can be done in less than 7 minutes, it's in my freezer. haha!

  • I have a LONG way to go too (about 115 pounds). Welcome to the group!
  • Hello! I am from Nebraska so I know what you mean about the cold. I'm 43 years old. I'm not much for doing things outside this time of year, but I do belong to Curves and I go 2-3 times a week, so I get my exercise there. Best of luck to you. Friend me if you'd like to.
  • Good luck to you! I did WW years ago and lost 50 pounds in 6 months, but put it back on unfortunately.
  • I'm in! I'd like to be able to zip my winter coat. I have only one and I can't zip it up. It's close though. With the cold temps we can get in the midwest this is an important goal.
