small goals are the best to start with , and log everything you eat. It makes you accountable for what your putting in your mouth. Even a cough drop is 5 calories! Drink lots of water and exercise! Feel free to add me if you want.

I weigh in every Sunday Morning, right after I wake up. I can't do it every day or I get stressed!!!!

there's a lot of us out there! It takes a village of cheerleaders to help motivate!

haha, my goal is to lose my baby weight too. Unfortunately is 10 years old. But I will do it! Drink lots of water,log everything and any kind of exercise helps! Even a walk around the block.

It helps alot and holds you accountable for what your eating! I love it.

feel free to add me! We need to motivate each other!

welcome! Feel free to FR. More motivation we have within MFP the better !

just turned 46, thought I act like I'm 20. Bahaa.Just to irritate my kids. Feel free to FR.

welcome!!!

just smaller portions, healthier choices. More fresh fruit and veggies. AND lots of water.

Hi, I too have a lot to lose and have arthritis. But take it in small goals. I do 5 lbs at a time. Doesn't seem so daunting. swimming is excellent exercise for your achy joints. I swim as much as I can, and I also will walk in the pool, hang on to the sides and just kick my legs till I can't kick anymore. Make sure you…

hi, please feel free to add me. I am 46, suffer from Hashimoto's but mostly stay hypo. Boy I wish it would go Hyper. MFP has truly helped me alot. I love it.

Work on yourself and maybe he will follow. He's a grown man, let him figure it out on his own.

drink less tea, more water. Also, fresh fruit and veggies are your best choices. I keep my special treats(sweets) towards the end of the day because I can see how many calories I have left for the day and I can then decide what to have for my before bed snac

not over at all! My kids are away visiting my family , so we didn't go crazy for the 4th .Made a nice dinner, but kept on track AND swam alot. So I was way under for the day. Proud of myself.

you weren't over by that much, we all go over because of certain things. I know I messed up Saturday, but heck, I started the next day off with a BANG! Don't give up , keep it going.

it's fine, just no back room stuff!!!!

I do 5 lb goals , because I have problems with my thyroid, any pound off is a big hurdle. So I know what I need to lose over all, but i keep track in 5 lbs goals, It's more motivating to me.

Salsa! I love Salsa in brown rice.

welcome! I found MFP to be highly motivational!

my nephew is way to thin, he was always told to go home after school and eat a bowl of icecream! And he drank boost. Still to thin, but a grown man now.

I'm 46 with a thyroid problem that has always given me a hard time. Finally using MFP, I have started to lose . I take it in small increments to not overwhelm my self.
