I am eating the recommended 1850 calories a day for my activity level and weight. I have been at it a week and have lost 6 pounds. I know it's most likely water weight but it is uplifting anyway. I love this app because it makes it easy to stay on track and keep myself accountable. For the first month I am focusing on just…

I do understand!! My solution was to make my own english muffin pizzas. Not quite like a regular pizza but very good and easy to portion out, Yummy!!

Hi all! I am starting my journey again on Myfitnesspal. I used it once before and lost 30lbs last year. I have since gained back 17 and am starting again at 305 lbs 5'7". I am 33 and want to get healthier for myself and my family. Feel free to add me!

I never burn that much but I try to compensate for the overestimation of calories burned by MFP. I put in my goal weight and pounds per week to lose and then manually lower my calorie goals by 350 a day to make up for the difference. It seems to work and when I follow my counts and stay on track it works very well. I…

I will be watching this as I was wondering the same thing. We have a 360 too and I have been thinking of getting the Kinect for it. There are plenty of Wiis available around here too so I was trying to decide myself. I hope someone out there has some thoughts on this. Good luck! I have been just walking and using my broken…

Welcome! I am in the same boat too. I am a little older, 32 years old, and I started at 311lbs. The weight is coming off and this site makes it so much easier than I thought it could be. I am at 294 now and it's only been a month and a half. It gets exciting to reach smaller goals along your way to a big one. My husband is…

I understand where you are coming from. I have always been big and until very recently was over 300lbs. I do not follow a super strict diet plan I pretty much eat what I want just not as much as I did before. I have been taking baby steps with exercise and diet so I don't get too overwhelmed and scared. For now I just walk…

I am nearby in Ellsworth and will be watching this thread. I would like a group to go to as well.

Thanks for posting guys! I am going to a meeting next tuesday to begin the process for sleeve surgery. I will most likely have the actual surgery in September because I have already met some requirements and will be losing my full coverage insurance in December. After that the follow up visits are covered but not the…

I feel you pain! I had 2 doughnuts earlier. I can't resist sometimes. I logged them and just figured I would do some more exercises to try and balance things out. Pizza is also a huge temptation for me but to make it easier I now make english muffin pizzas at home. I have plain cheese ones and can have 4 little pizzas for…

My pants are getting looser after losing 9 pounds but can't fit into the next size yet. Keep up the great work!

I do this too! I love blueberry or cherry Greek yogurt with Multi-grain cheerios in it. If I am really naughty maybe some Trix cereal. :)

You brought me to tears with your story. I am so very happy for you and know that you will meet your goal. I too had surgery complications and blood clotting factor. I got very lucky the doctors caught my pulmonary embolism and DVT when they did or I would not be alive to try to lose the weight either. Way to go!!!!!

I totally get where you are coming from. I love to eat and love my ice cream and pizza most of all. I have found that the way I handle the cravings is by making my own english muffin pizzas at home so I can measure out each ingredient so they are counted. Then with ice cream I get the lower fat kind and measure out 3 half…

So officially I am starting at 311lbs and 5'6" tall. I am 32 and have a 2 year old daughter that I want to be there for and be healthy for…
