I would love to take this journey with you. I am new here and not sure how to add you but feel free to add me and we will support each other.

I am new here, well actually I was here a few years ago but jumped off the wagon. I'm back and doing Keto for 6 weeks now. I am trying to keep strong in my resolve to lose 50 lbs. I have lost 13 lbs so far. I struggle with never feeling well after I eat though which makes this way of eating difficult for me. I am so happy…

I answered my own question. You have to purchase the upgrade :s

Hi...I have been on since late August (I think). I am on a new path....I am excited about losing weight and since I have joined, I am loving my exercise time. Add me if you want, I would be glad to be your cheerleader. We can support each other. :happy:

I had several gallbladder attacks and found that FAT was a criteria for this (I had surgery last year). I saw the doctor's note and found out I also had a fatty liver which is a precursor to Diabetes which runs in my family. This was a wake up call for me and I realized all these conditions are preventable with losing…

It's stories like yours that help me say "I can do this". Thank you.

My shocker was milk...1% and 2%..loaded with sugar. My sugar intake is 24 grams...having a bowl of cereal with a cup of milk in it is 12 grams gone. I love milk in my coffee, but no more. All these years I avoided cream but now I have to have it. I never exceed my fat intake but I always exceed my sugar. No wonder. Now I…

I started this journey a couple of months ago and what works for me to stay motivated is to read success stories. There is one girl here "the skinny me wants out" has inspired me the most. I now have her on Facebook so I can be in touch with her. I know what you mean by not being able to get back on and start again. She…

I read success stories! Hearing how other people have lost mega pounds, inspires me to continue. The saying "if they can do it, so can I" goes a long way for me.

Started the 30 day shred today. Anyone know how to log it into exercise? I would hate for all those calories not to be logged. Help please.

I guess everyone has their triggers.

Sorry, I don't know how to do quotes but you said you were diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis...which is directly caused by environmental food choices. I don't know where you came up with that because I too have Pan U.C and I have been in remission for almost 8 years now. Up until last month I lived on McDonald's and junk…

Wow, 77 lbs lost. That's fabulous. Congradulations

I am going to read from the motivation and support forum and read lots of success stories. I read a post from Mcgrawhaha today that so inspired me to keep going no matter what. I plan on reading that post often. I will keep my routine of exercise in the morning between 10-12. I am well stocked with Xbox exercise tapes as…

I loved your post.....thank you. You are so right....sacrifice for a time to obtain your goal. I have always been on fad diets and loose a lot quickly but alway gain it back +. I struggle with 1 lb lost a week. But I will keep going. I will do this.

Why do you say I can eat a lot more protein? I exceeded my protein allowed. I am following what MFP recommends.

I have been a fab dieter most of my adult life. I had a hard time wrapping my brain around eating all the calories allotted to me. I have also been a believer that all carbs are bad....I am use to the rapid weight loss when on these diets but then could never keep it off and like so many people, gained it back, plus some.…

Oh I can't wait not to have chafing. :tongue:

I did just what you are doing. I quit 32 days ago cold turkey after 35 years. I found this website and started logging in my food two weeks ago and I started walking for one hour everyday. For the smoking. Cold turkey is the only way. Tobacco stays in your system for 7 days. The hard part is the associations. Trust me, if…

I found this site with the help of my doctor. I too spend waaaaay too much time on the couch and online. I tried Atkin's, I was on Vi shakes twice a day for 3 weeks, barely eating anything in between and I lost nothing. I started logging in my meals and had to struggle with how much I WAS ALLOWED TO EAT. 1200 calories for…

Off the subject of recipes...but I keep seeing "bump" on different posts....what is 'bump'?

Thanks everyone for your great advice.

Is there no other way. I don't want to have to write out each ingredients. The website where I got this recipe they have the nutritional information written out. I just want to log in the facts.

dynamitegalxo; When I checked the database where there is a list of exercises you can choose from, I picked what best suited the program I did, which was calisthenics and I put in the amount of time I dedicated to it and it gave me 'calories burned,,,,247'. The problem is, I can't seem to actually log it into my exercise…

What is an HRM and ETA? Jendraka, I have no idea how many calories I burned. I am new at dieting and exercise. I have never counted calories before. I guess I will just have to be satisfied knowing I worked and worked hard. It's funny that they have a long list of different exercises yet you can't access them...weird.…

I found a list where you can pick the form of exercise. Although it doesn't have xbox nike trainer it does have calisthenics. The problem is, I log it in then go to my home page and it doesn't save it. I have tried several different ways to post my exercise to no avail. I lost over 200 calories with that workout, I want it…

Wow, I am blown away by the kind comments and support. This is the first time doing anything like this, so to receive all these wonderful words of encouragement is awesome, Thank you everyone for posting a comment. :love:
