I have thought about buying used. I especially like the idea of not having to put the thing together. Just as a beginner didn't know if there were certain brands/features to look for.

If its a well know buffet MFP has some calories already inputted, otherwise I try to find something close. It's not the most accurate and of course I already know that I'm going to be way over my goal for the day. I have to log it though because when I look at a report of the last week, month, etc. I want to know I was…

Mine has been slow as well. I started in Jan. and have lost 19 lbs. Hey just made myself feel better. I have been saying I need to lose over a hundred lbs to get to goal weight of 140 but I just did the math to give accurate total and its 96 lbs. So slow weight loss but now I have less than a hundred to lose.

Thank you to everyone who responded. I hate math and numbers. I just want to do this right. I never understood starving yourself to lose weight quickly but then eventually gaining it back. I want fast weight loss but I have finally come to terms that there is no l way to accomplish this and be able to keep the weight off.

Thanks for the input. There are just so many different options out there and ways to calculate.

I am a 30 year old female with a desk job, little exercise. I weigh 236 lbs and am 5'3".

I appreciate the input. I have been trying to send out friend requests I can always use the support and I hope I can help you too but I started to get confused on who I had sent a request too. It's lunchtime and my brain has quit working. Anyone can add me if you want.

Yeah, some people need lessons in common politeness. I never ask anyone if they are expecting too hard to tell. A lot of people just carry extra weight in their bellies.

No, I am short, 5'3" so extra weight does not look good at all.

Thanks for the support. I'm having enough trouble dealing with the slow loss and no visible results yet. I keep trying to tell myself just get to 30 lbs lost surely there will be visible results at that time. I know when I first got with my boyfriend I was between 210 and 220 and I still have some of those clothes. If I…

You can add me. My daughter is 12 so I know what you mean.

You can add me if you want. I'm also doing this partially for my daughter. She is overweight and I want to set a good example for her.

Cool pic. Add me if you want.

Love the Wizard of Oz. You can add me if you want. I'm not diabetic but it runs in the family and I'm hoping to get weight and diet under control before I wind up with it.

You can add me. I'm slightly, ok a lot larger, 5'3" and 243 lbs but we can motivate each other. I always wanted to go to CA but need a better beach body.

Wish mother nature would go pick on the guys. We get PMS and the natural ability to be fat storage facilities, well thanks a lot.

Just sent you a friend request. Great job.

Your weight is on your license. Remind me not to move wherever you are. In AR just list height, gender (always funny since you would think a picture would be sufficient, but I guess in some cases its not), and eye color.

OMG you look like a totally different person.

A little over 700 I'll take that. I went to Golden Corral Sat. and it was over 1000. Buffets are absolutely evil.

I think it may depend on your size. I now weigh 248 and have only lost seven lbs but haven't seen any change in measurements. Of course I may be loosing inches in areas not being measured.

I have a daughter and she is my main inspiration. She is overweight as well and I want to change myself so I can help her learn a healthy lifestyle.

Well I'm about 5"3' and 248 if that's close enough for you please add me.

You look great. I'm looking for friends and I hope you will accept my request.

I've been looking at several posts and this one seems to make the most sense at least at explaining TDEE. I ran my numbers through the recommended site and also came up with a TDEE-20% that is lower than my BMR. BMR-1883 TDEE-2260 TDEE-20%-1808 I am a 30 year old female, 5"3', 248lbs. From what I understand sometimes the…

I have not done any exercise and have a desk job. I have been trying to decrease my calories and have had a little weight loss, like maybe 5 lbs in three weeks. So yes you can loose weight without exercise but expect extremely slow results. I'm in the process of trying to decide on an exercise program to speed up the…

40 lbs in three months. What's your secret?

Scales are a pain. My home scale varies between 15 pounds (240-255) depending on how I stand. I use the largest number to track. Yesterday went to the dr and that scaled put me at 12 pounds more than the largest number at home. Talk about depressing. The plus though was at least the dr looked at my record and thought I had…

I understand completely. I just started and want to lose about 115. Not going well so far. I have calorie limit of 1310 and I have been unable to get there. You can add me as a friend.
