I would like to help out in any way I can - I'll be 50 this year and my weight has always been a struggle! I'm back on MFP to start watching my intake - burning calories is no problem for me - I love to exercise, but the weight is not coming off. Let me know how I can be of help!

Hi - I'm new to the site and want to add under recipes or my food certain items I make on a regular basis - like protein smoothies and such. Where do I do that? Or will I have to always type in each ingrediant for every time I use it. That will get old fast. THanks a lot. This site is not very user friendly in trying to…

Also - one more thing - it looks like you have lost a bunch of weight - how long has it taken you and how long have you've been at your current weight? Keep it up = just don't give up!

There could be several reasons - you might need to switch your workout routine - I see where you just run at a steady pace; you should try cardio intervals - sprinting, then power walk, sprinting, in rounds - 4 to 5 of them in 20 to 25 mins; I usually do 4 intervals, rest 1 min, then start another round. Also - since I do…

Hey Meagan - feel free to add me as a friend! I've been on this weight loss journey a LONG time - tried everything - WW finally did it for me, but it's been hard keeping it off! I'm closing in on 50 and my metabolism is non existent, so I have to eat very little and exercise alot! The story of my life! I can be there for…

Welcome aboard! I learn alot every day from my friends and know I have their love and support - the encouragement is great! Good luck - remember: One step at a time! :smile:

I was putting in my exercise calories and eating up to 1,700 to 1,800 adn that was way too much and I wasn't losing a pound! I took out ALL exercise (yet I'm still keeping track under my notes what I do); so now my calorie intake is 1,290 and it's been an adjustment but I've dropped 3.2 pounds in over 1 1/2 weeks! So, take…

Hi - Nancy here - just wanting to get some encouragement and help from my weight loss conscious friends out there - I love to encourage people and help them out in whatever way I can; I'm trying to get down to my goal weight of 4 years ago and wear my size 8's again. I'm a single mom with a young man who just started high…

When you set up your profile you state how much you weigh and what your goal weight is; this program obviously factors that in to the total number of calories to eat if you do not exercise; when you exercise, you burn more calories, so you gain those back as "fuel calories" - if you've eaten your calorie intake, worked out…

I'm new too! Let's do this together - we are only weak if we do not ask for help and support! I'm here for you if you can be there for me!
