I'm no expert but for me what has made the change is increased exercise. My exercise of choice is walking but whether it is walking or stationary bike once you can do 20 minutes easily the next time up it by 5 minutes and stay with that for awhile until you feel comfortable then up it again. I have never in my life been…

Unbelievable that you have so much going on in your life. I'm proud of you that you still manage to give yourself some me time on MFP. Not to mention that you have made it to the end twice. Good for you. I hope that it all works out for you as well.

@shuki_cotren I hope you feel better soon. If you can remove any new foods and then reintroduce them 1 day at a time. The next day leave that food out and try another new one and maybe you can identify it that way.

GrandMaKandy and MissSharon great essays

I was in the July challenge and made it to July 20th. Last time I hadn't written any essays for earned days off so this time I have 2 and hoping I won't have to use them. Nothing has ever worked for me like the Accountability challenge.

When I signed up for MFP it calculated a calorie range for me based on age height weight and in my case I have a Fitbit step counter that syncs to MFP and gives me extra calories based on exercise/steps .

Hi. I made it last month to July 20 and hope to make it to the end this time.

My downfall was a party at a friends house, I should have had more of a plan for the…
