I am a very heavy person and all I can do right now is walk. I only walk 20 to 30 minutes a day. I walk a quarter of mile in the morning and than 3/4 to a mile in the evenings. I eat between 1200 and 1500 calories and I have lost 2 pounds a week for about 6 weeks now. I plan on adding more as my body lets me. My knees and…

I like the fact you can personalize your tickler. mine has a picture in it of a lake near my home at sunset.

Awesome awesome awesome

good luck and May God bles you on this journey.

Hey don't feel bad that is still a pound a week and that is five less you still need to lose. I see that as a victory. Look on the bright side and have a great weekend.

awesome, you deserve a mini makeover, that is a lot of work. God bless.

I suggest you do a search on eating 1200 calories or eating exercise calories and see what has been posted in the past about this subject.

feel free to add me, I have a long way to go, but I will get there.

take a look at my pictures and maybe that will motivate you. No really that is where mine started at 26 years ago. I really hope that helps because I would not wish my weight on anyone.

go to check-in and it has a button to change previous entry

I am a MFP addict, because I check this site 20 times a day and read all the postings I can. also facebook is not longer where I go to check up on my friends. lol

thanks everyone this has been great help. I know moving of any kind is better than nothing at all. The last 6 weeks have been a big change in my life and I am still making those changes. This site is AWESOME.

good luck I will keep you in my prayers. I know you can do it.

Okay, stop take a deep breath and relax. DON'T think of this as a diet, I feel that is what is wrong with the 17 day diet and all the others out there. This is NOT a diet this is a life change. And we will make wrong choices but we need to know that all we have to do is stop and think about it and the next time make the…

I am working so hard toward someone saying, hey are you losing weight. :laugh: Just keep doing what you do and love yourself:heart:

LIKE LIKE LIKE LIKE LIKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was told once that your taste buds change every 7 years. I know there are a lot of things I like now that I didn't before and there are things I know I use to like that I don't care for anymore. So just try, for your health.

Curves was my workout place for a while, I am doing everything at home now and know as time goes and I get closer to my goal I will need to add things but for now I am happy just doing the basic's at home.

I have more than that to lose , I will be 48 next month and my goal is to be at my goal weight by the time I am 50. I have been on MFP for nearly 6 weeks and have enjoyed every minute of it. So forward we go on our healty journey to be FIT, FIERCE, FABULOUS FEMALE AT FIFTY.

I have two questions? Does your doctor know you are trying to lose weight? if so does he think now is the time to try and lose?

I hated drinking water, but now that is all I drink (just about). I found myself grabbing a bottle first thing in the morning and keeping it at my desk all day long. I feel so much better now that I am hydrated. Never realized before how much I really needed it.

If you lose 2 pounds a week for 52 weeks that is 104 pounds in a year. and if you lose 1.5 a week for 66 weeks that would be 99 pounds and that is about you are giving yourself to lose it in. It is doable.

bump: thanks so much

NOTHINGS works not even surgery if the person is not willing to do what needs to be done to lose weight. This is a self thing just like drinking and drugs. A person has got to want to do the things it takes to lose the weight. I know because I am 5' tall and close to 300 lbs. I had to really want to make changes in my life…

same boat here and my choices have been awful for a couple of days. what to do what to do

Protein Clams are a good source of complete protein, meaning they provide all nine essential amino acids your body cannot make on its own. Protein in your diet is important to support the growth and repair of all your organs, tissues and cells. A 3 oz. serving of steamed clams provides 21.7g of protein. The Institute of…

I also eat supper early and than work out later. I hate eating late and I don't get home until nearly six so by the time I cook and clean up it is after 7 and than I work out about 8 or so. I have lost weight and it has not affected me any other way.

Please read the blog that has been posted call "Why eat my exercise calories" you should understand then.

it is saying if you eat 1700 calories usually in order to lose 1 pound a week you will need to eat 1200 calories a day. That way you are burning 500 calories a day. You need to burn 3500 calories to loss one pound.

I am amazed and can't wait till I can get in a 14
