I've never been on antidepressants but my husband currently is. He has only been on them for about a year and a half so he has tried a few different ones in that time. His previous one had a side effect of increased appetite. He has never watched his CICO. He gain 20+ pounds in the time he was on them. There were days he…

These have been so interesting to read. I remember when I was in my 20s I thought no matter what age/height/activity level if you were female you could only eat 1200 cals a day. It took years I failures for me to realize that just wasn't going to work for me and that it was OK. EVERYONE is different, something that is very…

Hello, hoping I will be able to contribute to the overall weight loss of this group. I will note that I am trying to lose weight in a slow and sustainable way so I may not have very good losses. I try to eat between 1700-1800 cals a day. From what I see on MFP a lot of woman with my height and goal weight seem to be eating…

My biggest tip for food is not to eliminate anything, just adjust the portion and add volume foods with it. By this I mean if you enjoy pizza instead of having a large amount of just pizza have one slice (or two if the calories aren't too bad). On the side have veggies that are low calorie that you can eat a lot of to fill…

I am 5' 2", 221 lbs and currently eating 1800 calories to lose weight with no exercise. If I add exercise I do not plan to eat my burned calories back. I am still be able to lose weight, it's just slower and overall more sustainable :)

Hi, I'm 32 with a goal to lose between 70-90 lbs. Current target is to lose 40 lbs to get to a weight of 180. I am going for sustainable weight loss for an eventual sustainable maintenance phase. In saying that I know eating super clean would not be something that is achievable for me personally. Feel free to add me to…

I did this once when I had difficulty staying within my calories. It takes time to get used to. I quit doing this when I became pregnant with my first child in mid-2019. Since then I've either been pregnant or breastfeeding so I haven't tried it again. My advice is if you can't see yourself doing it for a lifetime then it…

Hi, I'm new to the group for March. I'm a mom of 2 under 2 (4 months old and 2 years old). Life has been pretty crazy in the last year between gain 50 lbs from my pregnancy and dealing with having a newborn and a toddler. I think I am finally at a place that I can start to think about myself and prioritizing my health. I…

Personally I had 80lbs to lose. I went down 20lbs in a about 2-3 months and honestly I may have exercised 2-3 time each month. I chose to instead focus on my eating. I found easy healthy recipes (that were flavorful and nutritious) that I could adjust a little bit here and there to fit into my calorie goals each day. Now…

I'm In :)

@jodieh1109 The challenge has already begun and into it's second week so we are not accepting any new members. Sorry :/

@LaceyM1967 I did send out invites to all who requested one but anyone who didn't accept by the 30th the invite was removed. Maybe it was removed before you had a chance to accept and so it didn't show up in your notifications. This is the first challenge I'm hosting and there are of course bugs to be worked out. If I do…

@Dinow An invitation was sent the same-day however was never accepted. On April 28th a reminder was sent in this discussion with all those who were sent invitations tagged to let them know a response was needed by the 29th. I waited until late April 30th to remove unaccepeted invitations however there was no one extra who…
