Welcome to MFP...it is working for me, because I'm working it by recording food and exercise and low carbs and calories...not easy...but easier if we stay focused on eating healthy and moving more. Please add me as a friend if you wish me to support you. Best of luck!

I believe it's all about the calorie intake and exercise out put, that being said, protein keeps me satiated longer than carbs do. The key is balance and moderation! If only I could always do this!!

Hi Christine...sorry ....I emailed you earlier and thought your name was Carmen. Thanks for any support you can give me. Melissa

What a strong human being you are...I truly applaud your amazing success! Keep up the good work!

How many calories are in the cornmeal orange cookies??

I'm not a nutritionist, however I have been to one and she never recommended bagels or white rice as a good choice. Whole grains are always a better choice. Also, you seem to be obsessed with exercise, maybe some time out to relax would be better use of time. Hope this helps.

I need to lose about 30 -40 lbs...so let encourage each other! I am CDN too...:happy:

Help...what does TDEE stand for? Thanks!

AMAZING!!

You are young and healthy, your time to lose the weight is now. I have had success with MFP, where I didn't with W Watchers and other weight losst groups. I find the logging is paramount, as it keeps me honest with my disease of denial of being over weight, and tracking my exercise each day. I am 68 years old (could be…

Thankful for truly amazing and supportive Fitness Pals and the fact that I have been able to lose 29 lbs.. I haven't been 178 lbs. for 40 years. I feel more alive than ever...beats looking for the next fix of overeating junk, then sinking into a state oblivion. Thankful to have the choice of healthy food and the ability to…

You look really great...thanks for the inspiration....I will keep on my weight loss journey.:heart: :heart: :heart:

You look so good and healthy...keep up the good work!:heart:

Hi...things that works for me is keeping in touch with MF Pals and logging in regularly. All the best :flowerforyou:

Omg, I am 5'4" and 185, I would be ecstatic to weigh 135. I would think that this would be a very healthy weight for our height...:heart:

I have type 2 diabetes, since I have lost weight on MFP along with exercise, I feel much more energized. Keeping sugars low is paramount. All the best:heart:

Hey, I am 5'4". When I joined MFP in late Aug./13 I weighed 204 and my jean size was 18. I have since lost 18 lbs. and I am still wearing the same jeans, although they are feeling really really good, not tight and pushing my roll of fat up from my waist. That in itself is worth saying no to an over load of fat and sugar!!…

I am new too...but have been successful in losing 18 lbs.. Keep at it...one day at a time....add me as a friend if wish. Melissa:flowerforyou:
