I am 60 years old and I agree that it is so much harder for me. It seems to take forever to lose and one bad weekend to gain it back!! :cry: But by tracking daily even when I have a bad day...I find it so much easier now to just get back on track. I also have my diary open because I feel like I am more controlled since I…

WELCOME TO ONE OF THE BEST SITES I EVER USED!! :flowerforyou:

I only started 25 days ago....but I have a cheat day once on the weekend...don't go crazy but have pizza or fast food. I agree it helps...yes I know I am trying to make a change in my food selections...but for me if I say I can never have something I will not be successful. I haven't been able to exercise because of a…

Joined MFP 11 days ago......my goodness your post sounded like you were talking about me....5' .....started at 155.....1200 calorie goal...and need to lose 30 lbs.

Welcome...I have been here for one week....and has helped me to keep on track! Good Luck :flowerforyou:

My thoughts exactly...the soup for one serving is tons of sodium...and I think just about everyone can eat a whole can!!!! :sick:

Wow....you are doing a great job!!:flowerforyou:

Doesn't the way you feel make it all worthwhile!!!! You look great! :flowerforyou:

I am having the same problem....everyday it seems my protein amount is always over! I also was wondering what damage this does to your weight loss....I have no idea how all of this works!

:happy: I understand.....I would love to forgo all good food and live on sweets and salty snacks for every meal. Using this food diary in just 5 days has shown me just how this thinking will keep me from losing weight! Reading suggestions and doing the food diary will really help, I think!!!

Welcome..I just joined 5 days ago and I am hooked on this site for all kinds of helpful info!! :smile:

Enjoy the moment...tomorrow will take care of itself!! :wink:

Great idea...and you will get more meals for the money...win,win!!:smile: Thanks

Great idea....plus you get more meals for your money!:smile:

I have heard to be careful of this before...I think the suggestion of eating a meal that I enjoy (that is also healthy) but just eat less of is the way to go!!! This was a good wake up call though...since I am just starting this journey. P.S. Just love the dialogs and suggestions...glad I joined this site. Thanks all!!

Thanks everyone.......I am really enjoying this site and all of the encouragement!
