Oh, and hello, all! I was 165 last July, got to 150 and have been holding steady there for about 4 months. Am on day #5 of working to lose another 25 lbs, at which point I should have a better BMI and meet my MD's hopes and expectations for shedding the excess body fat. It's super easy for me to avoid exercise, so I'm…

Yesterday I avoided temptation all day thanks to staying logged in to MFP and reading other people's motivation and success stories. (I was at work and kept thinking about a bag of cookies in my car. Fortunately, it's still there -- I left them alone.) Someone yesterday suggested a "just for today" approach to setting some…

The same subject is on my mind, and I was just reading this article on MFP this afternoon -- don't know how to paste the link here, but maybe you can search it: EAT / SO YOU WANT TO START/STOP / JANUARY 3, 2015 So You Want to Stop…Eating Your Kryptonite Food

Joining late, but glad to be here. Just for today 2/21: 1. Eat at least 1 cup of raw leafy greens. 2. Drink water all day and say NO TO SODA. 3. Log everything in MFP food diary.

Kchapa82 already explained that her doctor is an MD who used to be a cardiologist, but now switched to family practice to help eliminate obesity (because it leads to heart problems). Doesn't sound like a weight loss clinic to me! I'm not sure why people keep mentioning weight loss clinics.

The "Livestrong" web site offers some guidance as to protein/carb ratios, depending on your activity level. I too wanted to find some basic settings to start with.

I need help and motivation, and can offer same. I've lost 10 and have maintained it there for 4 months; want to return to "losing" mode and drop the remaining 25. Add me!

I'm new. I started using Medifast foods for the main part of a ketogenic diet (and have a free Take Shape for Life coach). I started all this around July 17 and it's working so far. I'm very happy to find a sense of support & community here -- and of course information.
