Exercise question
I walk at a normal pace of 1 mph. MFP only has 2 MPH as a option. If I walk at 1 MPH for 60 minutes but log 30 into MFP at 2 MPH should that be a close guesstimate?

Weight Chart for the last 2.5 months pics
Down 34 lbs. Which I know seems high but like many people who have to lose in the range of 150 pounds, it can come out a little quicker than someone who has 20 or 30 pounds. Here is the picture I found on my step-daughters phone when she downloaded her phone pics on the computer labeled "Fattie" and this is after I had…

Way more calories then I needed but oh well right. Well those calories have left my system with extreme urgency this morning.. lol. Yes I…

That's it..
I from this point forward am only weighing myself in the evening buck naked. I have been weighing myself for two weeks daily several times. I can go from 251 to 259 within a 24 hour period. And yes these weights were even after some good movements.

Now my milk is 40 kcals per half cup but I log 60. I have been cooking for myself for a long time as the family is not eating how I want…

" You already blew your diet"
So, I had two pieces of taco pizza the other night. Which I budgeted my kcals for and was fine going over a bit. Then the family needed milkshakes, when asked I said no thanks. That's where the above comment came in, I wanted to say I am not dieting anymore, just being healthier. But it is a conversation I have had with…

My one regret before starting my journey
I was never photoed at my highest weight. My current profile picture is around 250 or 260 which I am 20 pounds away from. Highest weight was 350 or at least that was the last official weight at the doctor's. So wish I could be one of you so i had photo proof for myself of the progress.

This is where I heard of this site. I follow a lot of people lossing weight. I especially like the photos of food comparisons. One in particular was of a sweet potato and white potato. Both are very similar in kcals protein and fat but differ slightly in nutrients. Also found some great recipes like for healthier french…

Sodium and cholesterol too high..
I am a big fan of fish and shell fish along with chicken breasts cooked on the George Foreman Gill. My lbl is high and my good cholesterol is low. Now my problem is I cannot afford fresh fish and chicken breasts in all the time. They are both frozen which the manufacturers add sodium to help preserve. I always trim my…

Hello from Chicago
I have been in MFP about a week. I have been on my journey for about three years. While I love all the stories and posts the biggest one thing that I have gained on this application is the food diary. It has so many foods that we purchase on it that it is saving me so much time. I started my journey at 350, major reason…

My personal advice and experience with phentermine
I will start by saying there are no miracle diet pills on the market or by prescription. Even the research I have done about gastric bypass surgery showed many gain a significant amount of the weight back after five years. My first time on Phentermine was in my early twenties, I weighed maybe 225 pounds at five foot ten.…
