I only lost 20 lbs in 4 months not good enough for me I am going back to WW I lost much faster on that program so disappointed and I go to the gym 3 days a week what a waste. I should have stayed on WW and did the gym, last time I lost on WW never exercised and still lost not happy with MFP

I was 368 lbs at my highest weight I am currently 204 so I know exactly how you feel, it's taken me years to get to this weight, I would lose, gain, lose gain for years I did this. But each time I recommit I am less weight then the time before, now I just try to do the best I can and not beat myself up for the slip ups and…

I weighed 258 Jan this year I currently weigh 209

You Look amazing

The same thing happened to me I am so discouraged but I recently started to add more calories trying to eat around 1400 cal a day to see if that helps I only lost 10 lbs in 6 weeks not good enough for me

Hi I have 80lbs to lose and I have already lost 130 lbs so maybe we can help each other I have only been on this program for 5 weeks and I like it. Prior to this I lost my weight doing weight watchers, south beach and Biggest loser diet, I would love to be your friend just request me

- Thank you for your advice and encouragement some people on here are not so helpful glad they never needed someone to talk to LOL

hey thanks for the support you are awesome and by the way I didn't give up I already lost 130 lbs so in my book I am not a quitter, just looking for support but I guess you never needed it so u don't know how to give it, have a lovely day

question I have been faithfully going to the gym 3x per week for about 5 weeks now I do cardio and machines I have only lost 9 lbs and this week I gained 1 lb I am logging all my food and keeping under my calories. This happens to me all the time maybe I shouldn't exercise seems I do better weight loss without it. Does…

wow can't wait to show my husband this pic he is about 300 lbs right now so now I can show him what he could look like he thinks there is no hope for him, and he is very uncomfortable going to the gym. I am the fattest person in my gym at least when I go but I tell him you have to start somewhere. You look great awesome…

Wow you look so much younger your beginning weight is where I am today so it's nice to see how u look now how old are you just curious I am 51 so losing is a little slower it seems. I was 350 lbs years ago now 213 took me many years to get here keep it up u look great

I was scheduled for lap band surgery and had to lose weight before I could get the procedure done so I started to lose weight and figured I don't need the damn surgery after all I used to be weight watchers member for years but I like this much better.

Hi my name is Michelle I am 51 and from Upstate NY, I am a Psychologist, I am an avid Hunter and competition Trap shooter, and Archer hey it keeps me busy. And when I have time I race radio controlled cars, but would love to race the real ones LOL.

Thanks everyone for your help I really want this to work and I will take all your suggestions especially for the people who actually cared to help me. I am not trying to be negative I knew I should have been eating more protein damn oh well I will keep trying this

Water retention might be it I feel so bloated all the time

Okay thanks I was eating more protein until I came on this program in fact I removed the protein off my menu because I was eating too little amount in the beginning had horrible headache for 14 days, but was trying to follow this to a tee. Okay maybe I will keep trying this because I really do like it and don't want to…

Okay Thanks but why did MFP give me a 1200 cal diet to follow now I know why I had a headache for a week when I first started I was just following what the numbers said. If I only lose a 1 lb a week it will take me forever to lose 80 lbs uuggh there has to be a faster way, my co worker went on a crash diet didn't eat and…

HaHA I am not giving up maybe Just with this program, I have already lost 120 lbs and have 80 more to go I worked very hard to lose it , so my name is very appropriate but thanks for your support you a real help

Okay maybe you can shed some light on something that I have been asking around for 2 weeks now, but no one seems to know the answer. I knew I was eating too few calories, but I can't seem to get more calories in without going over on my carbs, and fats, do I ignore that and just go for the calories, I have been eating so…

Yes when I am used to losing that in 1 week when I was on Weight watchers, don't forget I have 80 lbs to still lose i should have had at least 8 lbs gone it's not the 2 lbs per week this program said would happen. I had lost 120 lbs on WW, but didn't like the new program so I came here but I never had a program do what…

Thanks for responding I did measure myself before going to the gym lost minimal in inches but gained an inch in my waist not sure what this is about, maybe thats what I am doing wrong I only have carbs 1x a day, and have been eating under 1200 everyday for a month with the exception of maybe 4 days. I am just so upset I…

Same thing happened to me I am going back to weight watchers this program is not working for me at all, I have been sticking to it like glue only 1 day I blew it in a month. I go to the gym 5 days a week I lost 7 lbs only to gain 2 today pathetic 5 lbs in a month . Good luck trying to get an answer as to why this is…

You look great congrats

That is awesome what kind of exercise do you do and how often

Hi I have a nice group of people that talk everyday I myself log in everyday and comment on as many posts as possible. I just started 3 weeks ago and have lost 7 lbs so far but I have already lost 120 doing various other diets. I exercise 5x per week at a local gym. You are welcome to join our crew.

Yes it happens to me what I did to stop it was I would log all my food for the day in the morning have a plan in mind. Gather all your foods for the day and if you need to pick at food then pick from what you already have calculated. And if you look up the calories and other information on what your about to eat it may…

Wow you look great that is so awesome I have 80lbs to go and have not been under 200 in 30 yrs, I was in the 300's and been in the 200's for at least 6 years. I am so proud of your accomplishment and Thanks for encouraging me to press on. I just started this program 2 weeks ago

Wow what an accomplishment I have lost 120 lbs but it has taken me years, I still have 80 to go I lost 5 lbs so far on MVP did you track only calories I have been eating only 800-1000 cal a day until a couple of days ago. I have had a headache since I started this program. I really like the program so I hope it works. I go…
