The calories count even if you don't log them . Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but I expect I will have to watch what I eat the rest of my life .Eating all I wanted is what got me fat in the first place Good luck

Congrats on the weight loss . I would say. Keep tracking and adjust as you need to . All the numbers you see are just guidelines . The scale and what you count are what matters Good luck

Any premade TV dinner in your calorie range would do good to start You can expand from there hang in there and good luck

I know what you mean , I have lost around 50 and saw myself the other day on cctv , I still looked fat because I am I guess still have 40 or so pounds to loose ,, I guess we have to Remember we lose weight but don't regain our youth , also clothes make difference Good luck

Tim I'm sorry but you are so very wrong here Good luck

Lol topic is so true .. wish I knew Good luck

you never fail untill you quit ,, hang in there

My first thought is ask where they were when I was getting fat lol Good luck

Yes weight loss is slow .. I guess we should remember this to help us not gain it back after losing it Good luck

I'd like to thow mine out the window lol does that count Good luck

Yes all those starving people on tv .. I need to stop watching stuff like naked and afraid .. alone . And the wheel lol they make me hungry Good luck

I think do what works for you , just remember unless you stay WW for life sooner or later your going to need to track your intake .. Good luck

Im not sure living better is the way to look at it . i love food but have to learn to eat what by body needs and not more than that . Right now its a little bit less because im trying to lose weight . I think we all have some kind of light bulb that goes off that says im ready ,, like i want to be able to wipe my butt lol…

im on blood thinner ,, have lost weight and still have my hair ,, i would ask my doctor about the hair loss ,, and the weight gain i would ask about your eating habits .. Good luck

it seems to me that as we age we need less calories so it is easier to lose when we are young and more active . i dont think its age per say its just that we dont use as many calories ,, for example when i was young i had to fix my own car ,, now i can afford to pay someone else to work on it . That being said , i try and…

I used to skip bfast , then got into the habbit of eating bfast ,, i miss the larger calorie lunch and dinner . but eating bfast does help me eat better at lunch , just gotta do what works for ya good luck

you have did a great job , i would put stats in MFP and eat those calories .. as far as things i like alot yes its hard to control how much to eat , but i cant see never eating those again , so i try to fit them in my calorie goal and go from there ,, Good luck

yes its slow but worth it hang in there and good luck

Just look at it like a.long break .. and hey you got to wear these clothes for awhile .. good job so far .. keep caring and don't give up Good luck

Thanks .. think I stole that but it's true .. every day we start over Good luck

no , ii cheat enough without planning them LOL

I dont see your stats listed and how much your eating ,, just that your counting . That would be a good starting point . Im No pro ,, but if you have stayed the same for 5 months it kind of tells us .. good luck

I noticed Lady Gaga had a little bulge in the SuperBowl half time show , she should talk to Marie lol Good luck everyone

your way ahead of the game , its good that your doing something now and not 50 pounds from now . all the calculators give you ball park numbers to start with . Start tracking your food and looking at the scale , You will know what you need to do in a month or two with the direction the scale moves good luck

i tend not to chase others calories , the scale will reflect what they are eating and calories in food is so all over the place its really hard to track perfectly . OP what rate of loss did you have for the first month ? as a rule of thumb 1 percent weight per week max . good luck

every day is day 1 ,, even after a good day , one day at a time good luck

well im thinking i like food and can eat more than i need .. good luck

I think it's your call .. just enjoy yourself Good luck

just click on my profile and then on diary if its not open it wont be there so say friends only good luck
