  • Hi, all! Five years ago I need to lose over 100 pounds and found a good program that worked: HMR. There are several options within the program, including an At Home program if you don't live near a program clinic. Here is the link: https://www.hmrprogram.com/ I liked this program because it was the first program that…

  • Never compare yourself to anyone else. Focus on what works for you and take it one step at a time. Focus on progress, not perfection. You got this!

  • Here's one of my favorite quotes that might help: "You wouldn't worry about what others think of you if you knew how seldom they do." Love yourself and forget about other folks.

  • I don't cheat because I think that sets me up for failure. If I want to eat something special, I budget for it with calorie banking and exercise. That way I never feel deprived or like I'm "cheating" or eating something "bad." That's what got me into trouble in the first place. It's how I've been able to keep off 125…

  • First, go to your doctor and get a full physical and then have yourself evaluated for depression. I have been where you are and I have depression. I work with an excellent doctor and manage my depression with meds. Second, write everything down via MFP because it really does give you a good picture of what you are eating.…
    in I am so lost. Comment by roullmann January 2016
  • You are right, queenliz99: calories in, calories out. Also, learn to maximize your calories by eating more volume so you feel fuller. I've lost 95 pounds this year and feel so much healthier! Slow and steady is the way to go and never, ever beat yourself up for "slipping" or not being "perfect" every day. Give yourself…

  • I have been wearing my FitBit Flex nearly all of 2014 and love it because I can connect it to MyFitnessPal and other software. CNet always has good reviews of tech products: http://www.cnet.com/topics/wearable-tech/best-wearable-tech/. Good luck!

  • Too many people suffer from life-style diseases due to excesses like sugar. My own blood sugar was creeping up and that was enough for me to get on my current program. Environmental control is the key-if it isn't around you won't eat it. Halloween was tough for me so I asked my husband to hand out the candy because I knew…

  • First, you are NOT a failure. Losing weight is probably more of a mental than a physical battle. The best thing you can do for yourself right now is lighten up and love yourself. Next, go to your doctor and get a full physical with a blood panel to check your glucose, cholesterol, etc. Also, if you are on any medications…
    in HELP! I'm a failure! Comment by roullmann October 2014
  • After knee surgery I did a lot of stair-climbing and elliptical machines. Ellipticals are great because you use your own body weight to propel yourself. It's a good workout!

  • My playlist is an eclectic mix of old and new but it keeps me pumped up on the elliptical: Happy, Pharrell Williams Wake Me Up, Avicii Born this Way, Lady Ga Ga Middle of the Road, The Pretenders Express Yourself, Madonna Buffalo Stance, Neneh Cherry Call Me Maybe, Carly Rae Jepsen and pretty much anything by Michael…
