  • I started at 220# and no one noticed I had lost any weight till I lost 35#. I've only lost one pant size and am now down 45#. I think the bigger we are at the start the more it takes to be visible! It was funny, I've just now gotten the question, Have you lost some weight? After losing 22% of myself! But it will happen for…
  • I have been logging food here (MFP) every day for over a year now. I've lost 41 pounds so far. I try to eat foods that have easy to calculate nutrition labels. I've also been doing this long enough I can tell what a cup of cereal, veggies etc looks like. I still have a long way to go--27 more pounds so weight loss is still…

  • Mine has been working well for 8 months. Today, this evening actually is the first time it has completely stopped syncing with MFP. Hope they fix it!
  • I have been at this for eight months. Most months I feel like I work out like crazy, eat moderately but don't lose anything. I feel very frustrated. But I keep trying at least to maintain, I tell myself. E ven tho it's slow, uneven and crazy, I am still averaging a 1# a week loss. But every day after those first two…
  • I used to hold on All the time. Now I am working back up on the incline but since I use the Fitbit it doesn't recognize the elevation thing. What I noticed about your initial post was that you said you were regularly hundreds of calories below--that could lead to starvation mode. That's where your body conserves its…
  • I have a Fitbit One and I had to reset it yesterday because it would not sync and update to MFP. Have you tried reset?
  • Most of the super cute are so self absorbed they are not paying attention to anyone except how to get themselves ahead--I don't think they think about us mere mortals at all!
  • I think we're getting your weather on Wednesday, just not as cold! Winter just needs to move on!
  • Do you all post only how you are doing towards goals or daily life things too? I managed to notice spring is finally here--it's very late this year but the pear trees finally have blooms! I made a million trips back and forth to the new house. Polished the floors, walked the dog then got on the treadmill. I joined my old…
  • Hi! My name is Deb and I live in Virginia Beach. I've been reading the March posts and this seems like a great and lively group. I joined MFP almost 2 years ago and have been in off and on but never a joiner. But I think I need some company while I go through this again! A few years ago I lost about 50 pounds and have…
  • Remember there are better carbs like your whole grain-not sure if that equates to whole meal, whole grain rices, not refined, and of course fruits and veggies. Whole grains....hopefully you like them!
  • I am sorry to hear of your loss. It is so easy to stop caring for yourself when someone you love is sick. I have not had to deal with this as much as you have but I too for one reason or another have stopped taking care of myself and in doing so have regained 30 pounds that I worked very hard to lose. I am turning 58 in…
  • My name is Deb and I have about 40 more pounds to lose. I have lost about 16 pounds since the end of January. I too drank a bottle of wine several nights a week most of this last winter. The end of January I decided I really needed to lose some of the weight I have gained mostly from drinking and being inactive. I JUST…
  • Hi! I just turned 57 and have been on MFP since mid-June. I had a couple slimmer years but mostly I've been heavy forever I've lost 28 pounds since the first of the year, with another 45 pounds to go! This is the first I have made and have no idea how this works! Deb
