Good morning, All. I initiated another reinstall late last night and this morning I was able to get back in. Thank you, Product Support!

I am not a fan for reasons already expressed.

Hello. October 2016 will be 9 years dry for me. It wasn't easy in the beginning, but I have 0 regrets. :)

Good luck, Russ! :smile:

Hi. I've been here for over 3 years and have remained relatively committed to logging. I slipped a bit within the last 6 or so months and the scale reflected it. However, I keep coming back ~ I will not give up on me! Good luck to you (and to me)! :smile:

Good morning, Kelly. I'm Lori. I've been utilizing this site/app for quite awhile. Not only did it benefit me in reaching my weight loss goals, it has been key with maintenance as well. All the best to you on your journey toward good health! :)

Thanks for the recipe - I will be trying these. :) I won't consume all 6, so 314 for all those pancakes ROCKS!

There's another one in there...do you see it?

Good morning, Everyone. So, on reading the title of this thread, I initially {mistakenly} assumed it was weather-related, since we've had a rather gloomy/rainy month in Florida. LOL. After noting the intended meaning, I can also contribute to this. I gave up the drink in October 2007, and do not regret my decision. I was…

Hello and Welcome! MyFitnessPal has been an effective tool for me in my journey to good health. I've tried a multitude of other programs, diets, etc. This has worked the best. Wishing you great success in achieving and surpassing your health goals. I am also open to new friends who want to share support and motivation. :)

Are you watching your sodium intake? That can also be a factor.

Great post ~ thanks! :)

I am open to new friends who want to share support. I'm here for the long-haul, so feel free to add me. Regardless, I wish you the best on getting back on track and continuing your journey to great health. :smile:

I weigh just about every day; 1st thing in the morning.

Wow ~ his belly must be perfect for him to feel comfortable making such a judgmental statement. Shake it off and focus on you. Your work toward You should be only about You; i.e., you've got to learn to disregard his rude remarks, since he apparently doesn't know how to filter.

I'm happy to share support. Feel free to add me, if you like. All the best to you on your journey toward great health! :)

My friends list has shrunk over the years to those who have the same health goals as me, and to those who like to receive and give support. I'll add people that send requests. :)

5'6", calories presently set at 1310 for 1/2 lb loss). I've always eaten most of my calories.

Sounds fun. I'd definitely try it if there was a class near me. :)

So, since 225, have you lost inches at all in your belly? I'm guessing yes. Toning takes time and will take maintenance. If you think it's all crap, then you always have the option to quit. Minor tweaks to what you're presently doing can make differences. Do different stuff (exercise, water intake, more veggies, etc.),…

Officially: 130 Unofficially: 127

This is good - I added to it... ...but for me, most of the time: I get up M-F at 4:30 and ride my elliptical for 45 minutes. Do I like it? Not particularly. Is it hard? Usually. Is it worth it? Absolutely. By knocking it out first thing, then it's done for the day. If I add something later, double kudos for me. Your body…

Hi Jen. I will also be 50 on my next birthday. I'm happy to share support, if you'd like to add me. Otherwise, I wish you the best on your journey toward better health! :flowerforyou:

Hi Jeri. Welcome. This site has been quite instrumental for many of us in improving our health. I wish you all the best. :flowerforyou:

Best friends don't treat each other the way he is treating you. You've known him a long time and he's always been this way with no desire to try and change - then it's time to move on. You can't fix him; he has to want to fix himself.

Hi Tracy & welcome! Feel free to add me if you want someone who will share support. I am one of those who eats most of my exercise calories.

What will quitting do for you? You are not alone - it's July and I'm still trying to shed the several holiday pounds I gained. Just keep showing up, logging everything, water, exercise, fruits, veggies. We can lose the weight - if we really want to.

I'm no medically trained expert, but my opinion is that you have to want to help yourself. As far as I know we were each given one life to live - do you want to live yours or do you want to continue the way you are (which you already realize where that will eventually lead)? It's a daily struggle for many of us here - but…

Fantastic transformation! Congratulations on your success! :drinker: :flowerforyou:

Joy - Thank you for sharing your story. What a great read for me first thing this morning! You look fantastic! Great job! :flowerforyou:
