I have occasionally skipped/dropped logging calories, partially from my work schedule, and partially because I skip a day or two or a weekend, and, by Monday, have forgotten 'what' I ate, so then I couldn't remember what to catalog. I have, w/ MFP, been able to register and catalog 'meals'. So now, when I do log my…

Actually a quote from my 24 year old daughter, more about life than about losing weight: "I don’t need extraordinary events when I’m with extraordinary people."

A couple of friends also suggested to me to try this site. I'm 52, and wanted to get my weight down to 170. I'm there now, mainaining each day. I'm not as tedious about cataloggin my foods, but am abouting getting on the scales. When I see the scales start to inch up, I cut back on what/how much I eat. For a point of…

For now, only one thing comes to mind, oysters. Of any kind. Half-shell, fried. They all remind me of snorting sinus drainage....you're welcome for the visual......

I hate it when my kids and their friends use the phrase "on accident" instead of "by accident". UGH! I WILL correct them EVERY time, even if I know I'm going to get 'the look'.....

My wife was diagnosed with Celiac Disease about 6 months ago. For starters, always read/investigate your questions by going to reputable websites, like the Mayo Clinic website, http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/gluten-free-diet/MY01140. I would recommend this one as well:…

For starters, I was looking to lose 12 pounds to get rid of my 'belly' [from 182 to 170, 5'11"]. With that accomplished, and since I'm now in 'Maintenance Mode', I am not nearly as rigorous with my cataloging calories and meals as I was when I started MFP. From the onset, I was able to catalog and use the 'meals' option a…

In the past couple of weeks, the wife and youngest daughter have made comments about me looking like an orphan in some of my 'old' shirts. So, much to my dismay ("...but I LIKE that shirt!"), I have been 'thinning' out my closet lately. (pun intended :))

Wanting to lose a little weight, I've been on MFP for about 10 months, at the invitation of a couple of work buddies. Thankfully, my weight wasn't too far off where I really wanted to be [SW - 183, GW-170]. I've been at my GW for about 3 months. Because of family medical history, I have a yearly physical (age-52). My last…

Greatly appreciate the post! You've come a LONG way! Keep it up!

I am grateful that my family has supported /is supporting me in my efforts, even with the back-handed compliments. The comments that they give me, I take to heart, in that they are actually trying to encourage me to keep up the good work. I have even had a couple of co-workers ask, 'Have you lost weight?' To which I say,…

There are no words to say that haven't already been said!! You truly are an inspiration! I commend you for such determination and will power! Keep up the good work! You're actually NOT half the man you used to be, you’re TWICE that man! What you lost in weight, you MORE than gained in determination, courage, will power,…

How about this: A few weeks ago, my wife saw me getting dressed in the bedroom, and said, "We don't have the money to buy you a new wardrobe!!", noting how baggy my pants were. [Any way you slice it, a compliment is a compliment, right?! Or this: A few nights ago, as we were standing in the kitchen cleaning up after…

So far, I've been on MFP for about 10 weeks, and set my goal to 1 pound loss per week (approx 1600-1700 cals per day). Most days I get 'close' to my target calories, but usually go a little over. So far, that seems to not be an issue, as I have lost 11 pounds in 10 weeks. I watch the total calorie intake and portion size.…
