A hot cup of coffee..:-)

1435 days as of today...Have shed 56lbs. and have held it off for nigh on 3.5 years...

Won't save changes now..what a totally useless thing!! Loved the old one. So easy to use and to correct. What was wrong that it had to be changed????

Using the new calculator, how do I open my 'old' recipes now to check how much of which particular ingredient I use? How do I find ingredients local to my country and area? The new calculator has made recipe checking so much more difficult. I tried it once, and ingredients from outlets I never use in countries I never been…

Yay...common sense has prevailed. I clicked on the MFP on THIS page above, and wooppee! The old much more accurate calculated is back. I have bookmarked it for future use..Thank you MFP!!!!

i feel for you...For years my Mother would tell her friends, sometimes in front of me...Oh, yes she's a big girl! Big my foot!!!! Looking back now I can see I was 'normal'. There were a lot of skinny kids around me!!! As for the abuse you are having to take, it's not easy, but ignore it!!!! You must have joined here for a…

We have an annual Coat to Coast here in the South Island of New Zealand...from Kumara Beach in the west to Sumner Beach, Christchurch in the east. ..

Wow, wow, double wow!!!! You are indeed a shining example to many people....All the best for whatever your future holds for you....:flowerforyou:

Perhaps you've cut back too much on your calorie intake. Try upping it to the 1900 for a week or two and see how you go...best of luck..I and 5"8' and weiged 209lbs - am now 152lbs. I made it a slow loss of no more than 1lb a week, and it worked. :smile:

I'm due to hit my 1000 on the 7th Nov. 2013...Have shed 56lbs and have held if off for night on 2 years now...:smile:

Very well done....I know exactly how you feel. I have shed 26kg and have maintained my weight for nigh on 2 years...Congratulations...:smile:

Showing us the way.....I'm so pleased you were bold enough to take my advice....:smile:

Ophiuchus.....as there are 13 astrological signs...not 12 as the majority of people believe.....

No - you're daily calorie allowance should be set to your life-style...e.g. sedentary, looking after children,,etc.

Yes, count everything. Veges should be a major part of your daily intake...

I totatally agree with all the above!!! It's YOUR day ...enjoy...without a twinge of guilt...It's Mothers' Day here too, in New Zealand. I'd rather not have the hassle of expecting to be pampered for thisone day. Why not every day of the year???..:-}

Take me with you....

Ask yourself....'how bad do Iwant to loose my weight?' it is only something you can do...You can't delegate, but you can always come back later, but to what??? A heavy more discontented you? Think of your choices before you give up .....It is always the rough road that turns out to be the easiest, in the end....good luck...

Try eating more veges....

Hi - I've been on maintenance since mid January ,2012. Like you I too was nervous about 'eating' so many extra calories after having been on 1200 for several weeks. I'm now on 1650 a day. I have found that by eating all I want/need in a day, I'm able to keep within my allocated amount, including the 160 calories I'm…

Well phrased....:-}

I have always pre-planned. It's so much easier to keep control over what you eat, plus you can always do some juggling the day before to fit in any extra treats, yet still stay within your calorie qouta.. It worked for me - it took me 44 weeks to loose my 44lbs and on maintenance I still preplan and have stayed steady for…

I'm 1/2" shorter than you, weighed 1lb lighter than you when I started Feb. 2011 and have shed 45lbs.....If I look 1/2 as good as you do, I should feel pretty pleased with myself....very well done...:-}

Too much salt!!! Cut back on that, drink more and you will see a difference...

Count me in....I've shed 45lbs, 22kgs in a year....I'm still trying to get my brain to believe what the eyes see...Have always had a weight problem and probably would have continued having a weight problem if I hadn't had this remarkable site recommended to me...I'm 5.8" so felt that it didn't really show...boy, was I…

Congratulations .....Well done. I too joined in Feb. 2011 and reached my goal weight 4 days before Chrismas...44lbs. gone..My next challenge is to get my brain to believe what the eyes see.....:-}

Congratulations.....You should now be on 'maintence'....I've been on it now for 3 weeks, and it seems to be working..Although like you, I have this fear also of regaining...But you won't as you now have the means at your fingertips to manage yourself. .I have been given heaps more calories for my daily quota but find I'm…

Check google for protein foods....chicken, red meats......:-}

....and don't you look fabulous....I know exactly how you feel. I bought and am now wearing a frock 6 sizes smaller than I would have considered a year ago...44lbs lighter, goal weight Dec. 2011. I'm afraid I was a sook....I cried....lol.....good for you....

I know the feeling....It's been 30 odd years since I've seen my scale read....75kgs. The next thing to get used to is trying to get the eyes to believe what the mirror is showing...good luck...:-}
