Choose one morning a week to weigh yourself, and do it after going to the bathroom and before eating or drinking anything. Measuring is a good idea, I just didn't do it because I knew the results would be even more depressing than the number on the scale (I'm a chicken), and I didn't want that icky feeling to derail me.

You're in the right place for the support and positive feedback you need. Surround yourself with dedicated MFP'ers and you'll have a cheering section for your successes and support system for your stumbles. Good luck and welcome. :flowerforyou:

Stand on a step with the back 3/4 of you feet hanging off the step and slowly lower your heals down and bring them back up. There's a machine for that in the gym, but don't use weights as you want to slim your calves, not build them up.

I went in and manually tweaked my numbers....raised the fiber and protein, and lowered the carbs, fat, and sodium.:wink:

I can't help, but wanted to send positive thoughts and prayers your way. Take care of yourself and good luck getting the answers you want.:flowerforyou:

Welcome and congrats on starting this journey

All the support you need to accomplish your goals is right here. You'll build a network of positive MFP friends that'll cheer your successes and support you through your stumbles. Good luck to you and congratulations on starting this journey.

Unfortunately, you have to move more to have more energy. I know from experience, trust me. Waiting until you have more energy to get up and move more is like waiting for your paycheck before you go to your first day of work. :sad:

I go over in protein calories all the time, well at least I did until I manually changed my protein limits to a higher numer. Protein and fiber are good things for a dieting person. Both make you feel fuller longer....ALWAYS a plus. :smile:

It moves this post to your "My Topics" page so you can find it later.

Wow, you've accomplished a lot. :happy: You can add me if you like.

:sad: Oh My!!!!

BUMP I want to check back later and see if anyone has come up with a way to sit on your *kitten* watching the boob tube and still lose weight! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Welcome, you've come to the right place for support.

No really, it was A LOT , didn't you see it?!?!?!?!? :laugh:

You came to the right place; you'll find a ton of support and positive feedback here.:bigsmile:

:bigsmile: Hershey's makes sugar free chocolate mini's (the litle candy bars). They are every bit as yummy as the regular, BUT you can only eat 2 at a time or you will have a run to the potty type of reaction. It's a great built in limit for the yummy little buggars!

Yep, this type of thing. Make sure you have all of your settings correct, then just keep at it. As you'll hear a lot on here, this is a marathon not a sprint. :happy: Good luck to you

Welcome, MFP is really helpful. I'm sending a friend request your way> :smile:

Love the show and it's one of the few that the hubs likes as well. :bigsmile:

Pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and start all over again...lalala...You can do it, you've done it before so you have all the proof you need. Everyone's had set backs, so everyone will be very understanding.

You came to the right place, everyone here is very supportive and encouraging. Good Luck to you. :smile:
