Hi AlitaLov! I'm doing great today. How are you??

in Hi Comment by Karyn1120 February 2016

Hi Fergy! Welcome! I'm 5'2" and weighed 213 pounds before I started MFP. I was embarrassed to go out, to put on summer clothes -- you name it. I'm not a grandmother yet (I'm 54 years old), but live with my 4 year old niece (she has energy to spare!). Feel free to add me as a friend. We all need motivation and support :)…

Hey there from North Andover, Massachusetts!

in 84lbs to lose...help! Comment by Karyn1120 February 2016

I'm 53 and have been eating cleaner for a year now. In general, no processed foods. I make everything from scratch and feel soooo much better. Most of my exercising has been walking, but I've just started with weights to work on my arms. I need to find some good ab and back exercises next. Please feel free to add me -- the…

When I'm running errands early in the morning, I stop at Dunkin Donuts. Their ham, egg, and cheese on an english muffin is 280 calories. It's quick and easy

I'm just a few pounds away from a 50 pound total weight loss. I'll be heading to Disney in a few days -- hopefully all that walking will help me hit my target! Wish me luck!! :)

I use my fitbit one in conjuction with my fitness pal. I also use runkeeper, but only to measure distance and verify my fitbit info.

in Activity Tracker...which one do I choose? Comment by Karyn1120 January 2016

Please feel free to add me. I need to lose a total of 77 pounds - I'm down 30 with 47 more to go.

in NEED TO LOSE 50 to 75 LBS! NEED FRIENDS!! Comment by Karyn1120 September 2015

I use my fitbit, but I also use Runkeeper - Only the fitbit is synced with MFP. I like the GPS distance of the Runkeeper, and I try to go a little bit further each time I walk.

in Hi everyone. Im starting this awesome journey! Comment by Karyn1120 July 2015

My doctor actually recommended the 5:2 diet -- he's on it himself and has lost 60 pounds since January. He also watches his carbs all the time. But you have to make sure you don't have any underlying medical issues before trying to fast. It can adversely affect some people. I've been doing low carb, and when I plateau out…

500 calories is way too low - stick with the MFP guidelines. You'll lose weight and feel soooo much better!

in Calories Question Comment by Karyn1120 November 2013

Thanks to all! I guess the main thing is that I'm getting the walks in. While at work a friend and I do a 10-15 walk each morning and afternoon, and a 30 minute walk at lunch. Tomorrow is Saturday, and that means kick-boxing class!! :happy:

My thoughts exactly! Just came back last week and could use all encouragement I can get! :) Please feel free to friend me!

in Looking for MFP friends :) Comment by Karyn1120 October 2013

Is your diet heavy in protein? I've found that higher protein diets help curb my hunger - a lot! I'm under my calorie goal most days too. I don't think you're doing anything wrong.

in WHY AM I NOT HUNGRY? Comment by Karyn1120 October 2013

Frozen grapes are great! But if you're like me, I need my chocolate fix :) Don't deny yourself, but be sure to count it. When I really, really need a treat I have a fun size Three Musketeers bar (63 calories). That satisfies my sweet tooth without totally blowing my calories for the day. I only have one a week, but it's a…

in I HAVE A HUGE SWEET TOOTH!! Comment by Karyn1120 October 2013

Super advice!! Thanks! I'm primarily a walker - the only thing I've added is an app for my phone that keeps track of distance and time. I use Runtastic, but there's a lot of apps out there. It gives me a little push to go a little farther, or walk a little faster. It also updates automatically to MFP, which is fantastic!…

I lost 30 pounds 2 years ago, and fell out of the MFP habit. I'm back now and my advice is LOG EVERYTHING!! Stay focused and you'll do great!!
