  • Hi, I'm 56 years old and I have trouble keeping off that last 4 to 5 pounds! I am 4'11" and 109 pounds, which just feels a little too much. I teach fitness classes, including two regular Zumba classes, Aqua Zumba, and Zumba Gold every week as well as Silver Sneakers classes and strength training classes. You'd think I…

  • I have tended to not log on days I know I really blew it, but I've decided recently to log no matter what. Sometimes I don't want to because how do you log "Big Plate of Indian Food at the Buffet" when you don't even know the names of the foods? So I've been making myself use the quick calories add feature and trying to be…

  • I found that when I switched to maintenance mode and kept to the calories MFP said I could have, I was still losing weight. So I would tell MFP that I exercised 10 more minutes than I actually did every day, and then the calories I was allowed maintained my weight. I pretty much kept my exercise the same and got a few more…

  • My husband, who DOES need to lose weight just keeps saying, that's great! you're doing great! and "I wish I could lose weight!" And I say, well we could do it together but he just wants to eat whatever he wants. He eats ALL evening long, chips, crackers, ice cream, everything. I just have to ask him nicely to put the food…
