I'm new here too! I'm nervous upping my calories... not quite ready to eat at 2350 so I'm trying 2100 for the next couple weeks. I've been eating at 1640 and not eating workout calories then I look back and think of the insanity I've been fighting with for the last several years and hope this will help me. I really enjoy…

Hi Everyone! I'm Christina. I am at my wits end. I have found previous success on mfp and lost 40 lbs eating between 1600- 1800 calories a day with exercising 30 mins a day. I felt amazing. That was six years ago... Then my knee trouble got in the way and had to stop working out and finally had a total knee replacement and…

This is what I have been struggling with for the last year. I have actually gained almost 15 pounds since last summer! I am active and eat well and am frustrated with my weight gain and stall. I took a month off from "dieting" and even logging my food but am back and am hoping that I will have reset my metabolism and I can…

Thank you everyone for your suggestions. I have decided to eat at maintenance for the next month and seriously up my exercise again. Fingers crossed that this will be the solution to get me back into the losing game.

I have been considering getting one and was wondering what others think of it here too.

We were friends/ but more co worker-ish for two years before our first date. Got engaged 3 months after our first date. Married 13 months later. Celebrated 14 years married yesterday. You know when it is right. Glad I went with my gut!

My daughter, then 5 named our Shih Tzu "Sprinkles Trixie Cherry on top of Cupcake". AKA Sprinks. I especially enjoyed watching my husband walking down the the street yelling "Sprinkles" when she escaped as a puppy.

Hi, My Dad has haemochromatosis. I don't know if I am a carrier but if you are wondering about treatment my Dad donates blood frequently... and that is considered his "treatment" or bloodletting. He also avoids high iron foods. I on the other hand take iron supplements because I am anemic! irony at it's best! Good luck!

I weigh all my food. Yes, sometimes I have bit of a splurge on occasion but am baffled as to what to do. I walk at least 4 days a week for 40 mins each time, at a pretty good pace, no time for dilly dally! But I am not lifting weights right now, should I? I know your answer will be yes on that one!

This is a fantastic thread. Thank you for taking the time to answer everyone's questions... I have been playing with the same 10 pounds for the last year, literally! Last June I was 198. Today I am at 194. I actually got down to 189 for a bit (a minute or two!) back in the fall. I am active at least 5 days a week. I have…

I just checked out the site and there is a letter saying that the site has closed down due to not enough people signing up and will refund $$$ to people who have signed up in the last 30 days! Yikes!

Been around for a while. Don't get on to the forums very often... but am on here daily!

I have been dealing with this issue for the last 6 months or so and finally my hair is actually starting to grow. I am low in iron so started taking iron supplements, added in a multi-vit and Biotin. It is very distressing. I also increased my calories by 500/ day and that is when I really started to see a difference in my…

Amazing! You look amazing! And I bet you feel that way too!

So let me get this correct.... I went though my numbers and the gist is I want to get 160. Am presently hovering (since July 2011) at 195. So I set my calories at 2094 to eat at maintenance to be the weight I want to be. According to mfp that has me at a deficit of 46 cals and I am all set up to lose 0.1 lbs a week! Ignore…

My husband took this picture of me on New Years Day to show me that I have indeed lost weight over the last year. Sometimes I see it, most times I don't!

Shaun Cassidy without a doubt. My Mom took me to my first "rock" concert when I was 9. I had read in Tiger Beat that if he looked at you during the concert that meant that he wanted to marry you. I came out of the concert believing I was going to be Mrs. Cassidy!!! (I don't know how he managed to only lock eyes with me…

Wanting to go to Siesta Key Florida this summer... But have friends that want us to go to Myrtle Beach. So I am up in the air. Anyone have any suggestions where to stay in Myrtle Beach?! Never been there before!

Thank you! I have been eating way below my bmr, let alone activity. I gotta bump up the cals!!!

Oh my gosh!!! I think I am "John"!!!! Thank you for explaining it so well. I think \i need to increase my calories significantly! Thank you for the post!

I guess I better increase my calories. I tired extreme cutting and working out everyday and it has gotten me nowhere! I have been on a plateau since June 2011! AAARRRRRGGGGHHHHH!

You became the person you were meant to be! You are a brave fellow that showed courage to change and your family are lucky to have such a strong and caring person in their lives. Keep on marking your anniversaries, they are very important celebrations. And getting off a plateau too! Fabulous!

Wow! You are amazing! Congratulations on your hard work.

I have been experiencing the same thing. Very frustrating. I am upping my calories and hoping for the best. I keep telling myself that my self worth is not regulated by the scale.... but that only takes me so far!! I have increased my calories to 1800 and for the most part I eat clean. All this is being done in the pursuit…

Been around since April 2008 on and off. Finally decided to give up control over food and log it consistently for the past year. And it works. Present streak is 175 days!! And counting!

1. Greek Yogurt 2. Museli 3. Fresh or frozen berries 4. Protein powder 5. Baby carrots and hummus 6. Bag salad 7. Eggs 8. Tuna 9. Oh yeah bars 10. Almonds

Wow! Stand proud! Absolutely amazing!

Looks yummy! I will try it this week!

Thank you for your post, I have been struggling with a plateau since June! I will do the numbers!

That is nothing other than amazing! Congratulations!!! How did you do it? Any tips?!
