Hi! I am on MFP daily and am always looking for people to add to my MFPeeps. I only ask that they are serious about getting healthy, too. This is my second time on MFP (I left the first time for unrelated medical reasons) and both times the amount of support and help amazed me. I lost 35 lbs the first time and and am…

in Need A Buddy ASAP! Comment by DeeBerning June 2014

I started with over 60 to lose and now have 50 more to go. It's a long way but I am motivated and ready to do this. You'll find the support and encouragement here on MFP unmatchable. I've learned so much on here and made some really good friends along the way. I am actually returning to the site (was on here and lost 35…

in Have over 50lb to lose and need motivation Comment by DeeBerning June 2014

Welcome back to MFP.... this is my third time here and each time has been a success. I am on here daily and find the support and motivation phenomenal. Anyone out there that wants a serious diet buddy, just send me a request. We can all have a successful journey!!!!

in Getting Started AGAIN! Comment by DeeBerning June 2014

Very well said.... But, keep in mind that some people do not receive any support at home and this is a place to openly vent and not be judged. I know of several people who can talk to "anonymous" people who are in similar situations much easier than they can talk to their family or friends. I've done this myself a time or…

in Cut the negativity and welcome change Comment by DeeBerning June 2014

As long as you are consuming AT LEAST 1200 real calories every day, you should be okay. You just want to make sure you get enough calories in. I estimate when I am out but when I am at home I try to measure, measure, measure.... it keeps my logging more accurate so I am aware of what I am eating, etc. and it also helps me…

in Overestimating: Am I the only one? Comment by DeeBerning June 2014

You can do it.... I know you can. And, the support and motivation MFP provides is an amazing tool to use in your journey. For anyone that is serious about a healthier life and using MFP daily, feel free to send me an ADD request.

in Need daily loggers as frends :D Comment by DeeBerning June 2014

I allow my self one day every two weeks for a non-calorie awareness day. That being said, I find myself watching what I eat (heathier) but don't worry about quantity so much on those days. I do still log those days... just to keep it in mind and to track my "off" days. Have fun. Don't let is stress you. If you put too much…

in Do you stick to calories for social events? Comment by DeeBerning June 2014

You can do this... and you'll find the support and motivation on this site amazing. The first time I used MFP, I lost 35 pounds. Unfortunately, for medical reasons, I had to stop. But I've been back at it for 3 weeks and am already down 11 pounds. I am just keeping my calories down to the recommended level, exercising 4…

Welcome to MFP.... you'll love the support and motivation you'll find here. It's amazing. Keep strong and you'll be fine soon! And, thanks for your service to the country.

You are doing an amazing job. Keep up the fantastic work!

in Third time lucky! Comment by DeeBerning June 2014

Walking is absolutely exercise as long as you work up a sweat and get the heart rate up. It is one of the most commonly suggested exercises by doctors. It's low impact and moves almost all of your muscles. If you want to add a little more "workout" to your walk, add hand and/or ankle weights. And just keep moving! THAT is…
