Be sure to go by weight instead of sight. Don't cut your portion sizes too quickly...gradually reduce the amount you eat so your body gets used to the new portions. If you drastically reduce your intake, you are more likely to backslide on your fitness journey. Load up on lots of veggies. I make some meals ahead, portion…

Good luck with your weight loss journey. 45 pounds by June means about 9 pounds per month over the next 5 months. That is not an advisable rate, but go for it. Check out the "so you are new here" posts. Hopefully, you'll find some guidance there. I joined last June and lost 39 pounds so far. I also cook for my family, but…

Hi all! Turned 53 in December. Joined MFP June 2014 and lost about 39 pounds so far. Have about 5 pounds to go so feeling victorious B) Next up is strength training so I can get as toned as a 53 year old can get. LOL! Wishing everyone the best of luck. I post to my diary daily and it is open to my friends. Add me if you…

I don't keep track of how many friends I have. If they leave it's their loss. Next! Why does what someone else does bother other folks so much. Control issues???

I started in June of 2014 and lost close to 40 lbs. Add me if you wish. I have an open diary so you can see my eclectic taste in food choices. LOL! The next 14 days will be abnormal as I am doing no meats or sugar due to a fast with my church. But it will be on after that!

Not familiar with them. I go to a FREE boot camp held M-W-F at 5:15 am at the Best Buy parking lot on Barrett Parkway. That may be a trek for you though.

Bettyroug54: It took about 6 months before I "trusted myself" to do anything strenuous. LOL! Sometimes I forget I had the replacement because I feel so normal. It is 7 years later and I am scared to do a full out run. But I jog and do other exercises with confidence. Listen to your body and you'll do fine. Fitinst: Thanks…

kudos!

Hi! So sorry about your medical issues. Good luck with your health quest. I don't know how old you were when you had hip replacement surgery, but I had it at 46 because of complications from a bad car wreck. I need to have the other one replaced too but since the damage was not as severe, I have been putting it off. One of…

Hi! I'm 5'7" and 164. Looking to lose another 20 lbs. I started in June 2014 at 198.

Feel free to add me. I have been here since June 2014 and have lost 35 pounds. I am very consistent and available if you need motivation. Best of luck to all.

I love my food scale. You are going to be surprised at some foods you thought were 1 tablespoon, etc. Hope it works well for you. Love the saying on your picture, by the way! Truth. LOL

Great job!

Congratulations on your loss! "You can't do forever by restricting yourself" is a good quote. Many people don't enjoy their lives while trying to lose weight which is why so many regress. They eat stuff they don't enjoy in the name of losing weight which defeats the purpose because they know they won't be able to sustain…

Remember that the food posts you see on MFP are done by members and may not always be accurate. Use your food labels. Also keep in mind that the FDA allows a +/- 20% leeway in calories on package labels so even those won't be 100% correct.

Congratulations!

Take salsa or ballroom dancing lessons together.

Do a treasure hunt: post clues in a nearly park or somewhere similar and end with a nice his/her massage at a favorite spa. Go for a boat ride/dinner cruise ride. Can even do the treasure hunt culminating in a bedroom romp.
