My weigh in for 7/8 was 314.

I'm using MFP as my diary for a physician-monitored weight loss program. My doctor told me to not log in my exercise because of the impact it has on my calorie goals. I end up not "eating back" my exercise calories lost, with the hope that it helps my weight loss.

Decide what you're getting before you show up. That way, you go in knowing what you will do.

Don't forget that muscle weighs more than fat. If you are doing strength training, it could be that you've got muscle weight that you would want to keep. Perhaps be focused on clothing size and definition than the ultimate weight.

My weight as of 7/8: 314 lb I came close to reaching my goal but believe it did not happen because it was only 4 days and not a full week. My goal for this week is to lose 2.5 lbs This week I'm going to focus on adding strength training to my exercise routine.

Weight for 7/8: 314

Great job! I'm waiting to hit that goal and should be there in 2-3 weeks!

My current weight (as of 7/5) is 315.5 lbs. My goal for this week is to lose: 2.5 lbs This week I am going to focus on adding intervals to my aerobic workouts.

Mine was when talking to a co-worker who decided to have gastric bypass surgery. Instead of going the surgery route (which I cannot do because my grandfather died from complications from his surgery), I enrolled in a physician-managed program. I've been on it for 10 weeks, lost 28 pounds, and haven't felt better in a long…

I'm doing a physician-supported weight-loss plan and my doctor told me that weighing in every day can drive people crazy. You might have been down to 200.6 lbs at some point, but it is important to notice that for the week, you are still down 1 pound. It could be anything from water weight to additional muscle weight. You…

I would like to join. My 7/1 weigh in is 321#

I put 4 chicken thighs/legs in a slow cooker on low heat with a can (standard size) of seasoned diced tomatoes (garlic and onion) before I left for work. When I got home, it was a delicious main dish with some rice and green beans. Just make sure you're comfortable with slow cookers.

One bad day won't hurt you. Just make sure its not every day!

BMI means nothing to me because I am actually big boned. I found that BMI assumes that you are built on a small frame and some of us just aren't. According to BMI, I should be about 60-80 lbs lighter than my doctor said I can be. So I would be happy if I could make it into my "ideal" range. But as long as you are happy…

One of the best ways to stay motivated is to have goals that are attainable within a month (perhaps, loose 8 pounds this month) and work as hard as possible to attain it. If you keep setting small goals that you can reach, you should keep your motivation. The thing that has kept me going is having MFP post to my Facebook…

I'm 5'8"

I did Atkins about 8 years ago. The only good thing is that I dropped the weight really quickly. It worked great, until I started eating carbs again. If you are able to say goodbye to breads, baked good, etc., then it should work. Otherwise, just try watching your calories.

I got the Lickety-Split Meals by Zonya Foco. There are a lot of similar items in the recipes and they are divided up by how long they take to make. The food is good and is really easy to make. The best part is that the nutritional information is on the page so you know exactly how good/bad the recipes are for you.

I was told by my physician the minimum number of calories I need to eat each day to not going into starvation mode. She suggested drinking milk to help get to a minimum calorie count.
