Well, maybe not bc I can’t figure out how to send a friend request

I’ll send a friend request….I share my diary and exercise journey currently

I’m having the same problem. Working out 3-4 days a week (cross training...burning 400-500 calories) and I’m very proud of how closely I’m watching my calorie intake. It is extremely frustrating. But, is better than what I was doing before that landed me in this position. That’s what I keep telling myself. I will be having…

Amazing and very inspiring! I've gained 15lb+ in quarantine and getting back in the gym...doing a lot of lifting for the first time in a loonnnng time and I'm feeling excited and motivated! Great job...good for you!!

haha me toooo!! I'm a big diary stalking so I'll add you

You can add me! 34 y/o, 5'5", 168# starting weight. Down 3lb to 165. Would like to get to 140lb which is my comfortable weight. I share my diary and also like friends who share theirs so we can get ideas from each other :)

Same here! Welcome and thanks for the add. Looking to get it back together after about 6-7 years off of MFP (I got pregnant Feb 2015 and had my little one Oct 2015. Have yo-yo'd and gone back-and-forth with WW but with little to no success. Getting back on MFP. I share my diary : )

If any of you share your food diary, can you please add me as a friend? thanks

I'll join-- is there an official group to join? If you can clue me in to that :) I would like to friend anyone who shares their food diary as well. I am 8 weeks postpartum and have 15 lbs to lose...20# would be a huge bonus- I'd be estatic with 16-18lbs lost I'm 30 y/o, 5'5'' and weigh 152.7# Also work as an RN, nurse…

Also, the fit bit calorie Adjustment....does it only "adjust" calories burned and add it to your MFP diary if it is enough to be "worth" adding in your exercise diary in MFP? Did that question make any sense?? lol

Yes, it's brand new. It's all registered and ready to go...just states that I've already burned 1066 calories.

That's what I figured. Thank you!!! I'm pretty pumped about using it! Do you guys track your sleep with it?

I love a miniature version of candy bars too. I swear they taste better miniature

Ooh this is a fun but naughty post.... Favorite - Twix bars Least fav - Licorice

this is soooo inspirational...you look great! (before and after) So beautiful. You must be so proud !!!!

I'm 5'5" and it took 13 lbs (current weight loss) for people to start noticing. Went from 157 to 144. I see the difference too but my pants are only SLIGHTLY better fitting. My clothes are starting to feel better on me but no significant size change yet.

supplementing more protein. The body gets energy from glycogen, fat, and protein so it'll burn all three of those when you reduce calorie. Try getting more PURE protein in your diet (i.e. instead of eating 4oz, eat 6-8 at dinner and lunch) Just a thought! Hope something gives, because it would really blow to lose your…

Good job GasGas. I'm on day #17 and feeling great. I do not feel deprived and I am probably saving money on food (compared on what I spent on groceries before). Also, my husband and I now cook almost every night for dinner and then sometimes eat leftovers. We probably used to eat out at least 2-3 times per week. I agree…

Day 1 - went great! I am not hungry at all but I am having cravings. Today, my craving is popcorn for some reason LOL! Tried the crispy cereal for breakfast and have no intentions of ever eating that again but the good thing is that there are so many options! I had the strawberry pudding and added ice and blended it like a…

Just started day one....well, finished day 1 today!!!! I'm looking for some motivation as well. I know the next couple of days will be rough but I can't wait to see the weight start falling off. I am so ready to get to my true goal weight finally!

I'm starting Sunday! I can't wait. I did a trial day (I already have my food) and didn't feel hungry at all but I have a lot of social activities this weekend and didn't want to ruin my 3-4 day phase where your body really starts to burn fat like a machine. I did calorie counting and lost weight and kept it off for 3 years…

I'm 26 y/o 5'5'' and currently 138. I think that 125 is a great goal!! I have the same goal :)

I get in the sunlighten sauna about 3-4 times per week for about 20-30 minutes. I saw a special on my local t.v. station of a group of women who lost a good amount of weight by using the sauna alone. It is supposed to burn between 200-600 calories per 20-30 minutes. I think it all depends on your ht, wt, bmi, and all that…

That's an average of 1.8 lbs/week.....that's excellent!!!!! Keep it up :) you're doing a great job

I'd have to say mom. Children have to learn self control and eating habits from somewhere!! My brother was an overweight child and both he and my mom will admit that if he wanted something (cheeseburger, fast food, etc.) she bought it for him and let him have it. Then, when he would get teased for being overweight, he…

That's great!!!! A healthy way to lose. I wouldn't change anything. Just think, 5 or 10 weeks from now if you lost that amount of weight you could lose between 6-12 lbs. And doing it the right way means it'll stay off :)

I have been at a stand still as well (on the scale) but I can honestly say my clothes are looser. I still need to work on toning, though. Last time I did calorie counting (and did excellent), I made SURE to eat in between meals. I made a list of 300-400 calorie foods that I like. My list had columns (breakfast, lunch, and…

We have close to the same goals....I'll add you as a friend.
