  • Happy New Year! I'm excited for this challenge, as accountability and consistency have been problem areas for me in the past! I am working towards losing 1lb per week. I will be focusing on that 1lb pound as the goal each week instead of focusing on the total number. To meet this weekly goal, I plan to be active every day…

  • I have found that when I limit my calories too much (1200-1300) or start with strenuous exercise, the scale is much slower to move. Are you measuring as well? That may help you track non scale progress.

  • I had a challenging time transitioning from a "typical" breakfast or no breakfast to including veggies for breakfast. I prefer my breakfast veggies to be cooked. My recent favorites being sautéed greens and mushrooms and making a frittata with egg whites and feta cheese. I also love sautéed greens, sweet potatoes, onions,…

  • I'm right there with You! There has of only been one previous time that I have been consistent, and that was 3-4 months. Between then and now there has been lots of starts, stops, whining, laziness, and weight gain. Keep at it and try to have fun with it Too! I'll be looking good for your weigh-in next week!

  • Would love to be added to anyone's friends List! Im 33 and 225lbs. I have been very intermittent about my use of MFP since joining with this account in 2013. The proof is my depressing MFP graph showing a 50 lb gain in that time. I have lost weight before with MFP and would love to that again. Consistency is a challenge so…

  • When my son first went to preschool, I read through the agreements relating to food and followed everything to the letter. I didn't include any snacks or treats because it was so strictly worded. That is until I went to his class during lunch time and saw all the crap the kids were eating. Half of the kids just had…

  • I decided long ago that weight loss isnt worth it if you're miserable and end up quitting! Moderation is a great way to go! Maybe we should calculate what we'd save from downsizing our drinking and turn it into fitness/healthy eating Incentives. If there's one thing that will get through to my thick skull it's saving money.

  • Exactly! Having a drink or two is something we do together, so I find it challenging to say no if he wants to have a drink with me. Since I am typically the one who initiates having a drink, I have decided that unless he asks, I won't drink. And if he does, I'll limit my consumption. It may slightly slow down my goals, but…
