I was a former weight watcher also and it didn't work for me. I am now seeing a dietitian who is helping me achieve my goal. I like to see the nutritional value in what I am eating and not only the points. The dietitian has me on 1400 calories and 70 protein. Ever y time I eat a protein I have to have fruit. I have never…

I weigh on Friday's and measure once a month.

Take a protein bar, apple, banana or something with you and eat after?? Don't really know, I go to h20 aerobics @ 5:30 so when I come home it's dinner time!!

Hello, Glad to meet someone else from NC, I'm from Garner. Would love for you to add me, need motivation and can give it!

From what I have read on these posts that should be under your 'normal daily activities' in your profile when you picked sedentary, lightly active, active and very active. You be the judge!

I would love to motive you!! Request sent.

Thank God for that smart phone and MFP, you look awesome! You are a true inspiration to all of us for sure. Congrats to you and I know your heart appreciates it also!

I am also retired and loving it! Retired City employee. My goal is to be fit when they have the quarter century Christmas Party in December! Request Sent!

Totally Amazing! You look awesome and congrats to you!!

Just go the shred today can't wait to do it tomorrow.

I guess we have got to think of it is a 10lb bag of flour being sprinkled all over us. A little her and a little there not enough right now to tell a difference. This is the only answer I have!!!

Wow, we buy in bulk. That is a great idea. No I don't think I would miss an ounce either especially if more vegetables are available! Great job on thinking this one up!

You are looking fantastic. What a true inspiration and motivator for all of us. Thanks so much for posting. I love seeing the before and after pics, it gives me hope and encouragement on this journey.

Me personally wouldn't do it more than once a day if it's a protein shake. The dietitian told me to drink one in the morning. Than eat a good lunch and dinner. I have to eat 30g protein 3x a day and 10g for lunch. And every time I eat a protein I have to have a fruit. Just make sure you are getting in all of your protein,…

A true inspiration to all of us. Awesome job! Can't wait to see the finished product!!!!!

Thanks all for all of your comments and support. I will keep it. I will do it for me, if I walk 3000 today than tomorrow I might get to 3500. Thanks for all of your help. I will read the manual on how to set the number of steps down to make me feel more comfortable. Right now it's baby steps!!! I do alot of water aerobics.…

I would take baby steps in adding back beef and pork. Like the above poster said maybe a soup with some beef and go from there. Get your body use to having it before having that bacon cheeseburger.

From my understanding on what I have read your minimum should be 1200 not 800. 800 is way to low.

Welcome!!! I also cancelled my WW membership the other day. I was on and off WW for years without success and I was following the program to the T. I love MFP for the friendship and motivation that I haven gotten in the past week that I have been a member. I am now seeing a dietitian and she is helping me with my journey…

Hi Sally! I love this site, I have been so motivated by it that I know with all the support I can finally reach my goal. Is run keeper a free app for iphone. I want to start walking but don't have anything to judge my distance. I have a fitbit but there is no way I can get up to 10,000 steps a day. My knees aren't that…

I'm in! I might not be too nice if you don't eat all your fruits and veggies! Send a request!

Thanks for all of the fantastic pics from each one of you. What an inspiration you have given to all of us. I know I after seeing this I have more motivation to get moving. Thanks again for posting. By the way I had my daughter take my before pictures today. Oh, my what a sight to see. I should of never of gotten out of…

Hello Rose, I was too a former weight watcher but only for 3 months. It just didn't work for me. I am seeing a dietitian now and she is steering me in the right direction. You know you can still visit the message boards in WW you don't have to be a paying customer to do that. That's why they aren't allowed to post points.…

You should be so proud of yourself. You have undertaken a lot for being so young. MFP is the best website ever. You will find lots of motivation, support and encouragement. We are all here for each other. Congrats to you on your sobriety.

Mine also keeps changing. The dietitian put me at 1400 and it keeps changing to 1460. She also has me on 70 protein a day and that also keeps changing. And everytime they change it I keep forgetting how I change it back. Frustrating.

Had my daughter take them of me today. Sickening to say the least. But it's only been a week!

Hey Merary Welcome, I am also new I've been on here for abut 5 days. Love the encouragement and motivation from these fine members. At 59 I also want my sexy back for my husband!! (yeah I know gross!! ) I have worn stretch pants for so long I forgot how to wear jeans! I have a 22 month old grandson and my daughter is…

I use to play farmville took up too much of my time. I am now down to 2 games and in time those will be in the past. I have over 80 lbs to lose and I'm not losing it sitting here on my butt. I have gotten alot busier and more serious in the past week. I tried weight watchers but got no support or motivation. I am now…

After I had open heart surgery the doctor told me to stay off the treadmill and go out and walk! And, yes it is harder to walk outside than on the treadmill I found that out. You have done great on the treadmill. Like one member said just add 1/2 mile at a time. And, remember you do have to walk back!!

You are going to look fantastic when he returns. He will think he is at the wrong house! and, OMG, I thought it was just me who wore the the stretch pants and over sized shirts!! That was my problem. I didn't feel comfortable in jeans so that's what I wore. I wish I would of stuck to the jeans. I have gained so much weight…
