  • Hi I'm Angel. I'm 45 and weigh 219 pounds - my heaviest. I've done weight watchers and MFP and lost 30 pounds at least 2 or 3 times. I restarted watching what I eat and how much I move this week. This time I want it to be for good. My joints need it to be for good too!
  • Good luck on your goal! Smart idea making this week's breakfasts and lunches already. I may need to try that.
  • My weigh in day is now Saturday. Starting weight: 311 lbs Week 1: (7/4) - 304 lbs Week 2: (7/12) -304.2 lbs Did what I was supposed to but I think my body is stabilizing from big loss week before Week 3: (7/18) -306.2 lbs I know this isn't real because I didn't eat 7000 extra calories this week Week 4: (7/25) -302.4 lbs…

  • Good job logging it anyway! I need to work on that more.
  • Hi. My name is Angel. I'm in my early 40's. I'm a wife and the mom of 2 elementary school-age boys. I joined the group last week but kept forgetting to come say hi. I've used MFP several times to try to lose weight as well as countless other diets. I've been heavy since I was a teen. This time it's gonna stick (yes, I say…
  • Good luck with vacation jafray4! Can you take low calorie snacks to help offset some of the "not the best" food choices? The lake would be a great place (for me anyway) to get in some exercise. Take walks or hikes. If the water's not too cold, get in lots of swimming. Despite an unexpectedly busy weekend away from home, I…
  • Hi! I'm 43. I'm a wife (married 12 years, together 20) and a mom (ages 9 & 6). I've done MFP a few times and lost some weight but it hasn't been consistent and I always gained it back plus. I've been overweight since I was a teen. When my 6 year old asked me last week to lose weight, something clicked. I know it won't be…
  • I do use the Android app. I don't think I could stick with logging if I didn't have it.
  • I use this protein and the vanilla flavor though I prefer drinking it with milk. As for the cost, I have no idea since my hubby buys it for us. Sorry. Good luck finding one you luck that fits in your budget.
  • My goal for June is to not gain weight while on vacation for 10 days and to go to yoga 2 days a week, walk 3 days a week for 20 - 30 minutes, and do zumba 2 days a week once I get home from vacation. I would love to have a weight loss goal but to be honest my body has been doing weird things lately and I loss and gain the…

  • My husband is 3 inches shorter than me. He likes tall women (lucky me!). The only time he asked me not to wear heels was when we got married so I wasn't towering over him in the pictures. Worked for me because I wanted to be comfy that day. I wore white keds under my dress and we were both happy.
  • Way to go! That's awesome!

  • You look great, Julie! Way to go!
  • I'll join too the challenge. I'll do logging and drinking water. Yesterday I logged and drank at least 8 glasses of water.
  • Good job! I can't wait until I have that problem.
  • At 5' 11ish, I totallt getvwere you are coming frim. I used to think 130 would be a perfect weight for me because ir seemed normal. Now I realize it's about being healthy in my tall, large size amazon body. Good job picking a goal that seems will work for you.
  • Dep - Great state of mind! I'm getting to that point too with eating and exercising. It's important to treat ourselves gently since we want these changes to be permanent and lifelong. Tansy - I'm sorry you have so much going on in your life. That your trying your best on this journey while dealing with extra stress is…
  • Me too. My weigh in day is usually Saturday morning unless we are going to be gone then I weigh in on Friday or Sunday depending on what the weekend holds.
  • That's awesome! Congratulations!
  • I haven't heard of Kinesiology Tape. I'll have to try it out. I bought a knee brace but I haven't used it yet. I'm going to use it tonite at yoga and take some ibueprofin about an hour before my class.
  • What's going well - last week I didn't track and didn't plan mealls and still was able to lose half a pound by making somewhat good choices. What's not going so well - exercise: I haven't been to yoga in awhile because of issues with my foot and knee. I am going tonite and will do the best I can even if I have to sit out…
