I threw them out after a year at my goal weight. I still have a couple of sizes in my closet as weight does fluctuate but if I gain more than 5 lbs over my goal it's time to take it off.

Big mistake not to come up with something equivalent to the news feed. Community IMHO isn’t even close. Now I just use MFP to track. After losing Sparkpeople & now your news feed just not in the mood.

Wonderful and your journey can give others hope and lots of great ideas!

Exciting! A real accomplishment.

Good for you! Not the heart attack but getting healthier so this wasn't a deal breaker. Keep up the good work and if you are offered cardiac rehab, definitely do it. It works!

It takes the time it takes and you're doing great!

Probably no one will read this. Like most here we are so disappointed that MFP has dumped the newsfeed. That was how we all stayed in touch. Let me know what you think about his.

Congratulations! I've been here since 2013 and tracking helped me to lose the weight and keep it off!

I get a message that "something went wrong" and I'm kicked out. Wish they'd fix these things!

I decided to finally lose the weight for good and I was 61. It's 13 years late and I ended up losing 75 -85 pounds AND have kept it off. Ate a healthy diet and exercised. You can do it.

Been tracking since 2013 and at 3,801.

MFP says the newsfeed is barely used? Maybe they should read all the comments!

Bring back the newsfeed. Guess you're hearing that loud and clear!

Hope the powers that be are reading all this and bring back the newsfeed.

Loved the newsfeed. Can't figure out why the powers that be decided to scrap it.

Bring it back!!!

Yep, they tanked it. No reason. We all liked it so why not get rid of it. Bummer.

They removed the news feed which we all miss. Why do these sites decided to make these unpopular changes???

As I lost weight it took some time for me to accept that this time it was for good. I ended up keeping one size larger than I was wearing and donated the rest.

You're getting the same advice from most here...start small making small sustainable changes and as these become about one. Don't do too much. Even exercise, just park further away from doors and get a little walk in. build on your successes. And yes, track your food! Check the number of calories you've been eating and…

I"ve been tracking my food since 2011 and on here since 2013 and it definitely works. If you're honest about what you eat and track it all. it also helps to see the macros and for me looking at the week results reminds me if I've been over too much. Exercise every day in some way is a must for me. Have lost about 80 lbs…

Don't you love things like that?? :)

When I was younger at 5'9" I found that mid 130's was perfect. At early 70's (and 5'7") low 140's is right for me. A lot depends on your body type and how you feel.

Wow! Just wow!!!

Great! there's no hurry....as I finally figured out what I was doing to lose weight was what I'd be doing for life. You'll get there!

Check out YouTube for some chair yoga sessions. And you'll be checking with your doctor and may be able to get some PT sessions.

You can do it. Slow and steady. It's the holiday season and that can be tough. If you commit to some small sustainable changes you'll do great and as those become habits, you can build on them. And find some time to move every day.

For years I quit and then started up. I finally succeeded when I took a course from the American Cancer Society and we were slowly weaned off cigarettes. The leader also told us that we had to accept that we could NEVER have another cigarette...something I hadn't accepted. I also started playing the recorder at the time so…

I've been on for over 10 years and tracking certainly has helped me to maintain my weight loss. Good luck to you!

Pretty much what I did. Thought I'd land around 174 since that had been a weight I'd maintained in the past. When I got there I kept eating the way I was and moving and kept losing weight. Ended up around 145 and have stuck there for years.
