Medifast
Anyone been on this and lost and kept the weight off? I did it once, lost 35 lbs, but gained it all back when I went off. I missed real food! However, now I am really not losing at all eating 1700 cals, and Im actually finding it hard to stick to, i go over a lot. Medifast kind of worked, but not really because I gained it…

Running / knees
Im about 250, so running will be tough for me, but it's something I have always wanted to do. I am afraid it will hurt my knees though. Is there something I can do to prevent that?

motivation
I want to make this time different. I dont want to do weight watchers, medifast, pills, ect. I want to do it the hard way. I have 100 lbs to lose, and it seems like it's gonna take forever. How do people stay motivated? I always do well for awhile...and then I cheat once, and it turns into a train wreck almost every time.…

Weights- What's the best way to start?
My goal is to lose fat, a lot of it. I have been doing cardio a few times a week. I am not losing as fast as I want to, and I think lifting weights would help me. I am not new to lifting. When I was thinner, I did weights a few times a week. I got sick, and couldnt work out as much, and I gained a lot of weight and then i…

weight watchers thread
This thread is for people who are on WW and MFP like myself. I like these message boards much butter than the WW ones, but I log my points there. Anyone else on WW now?

Red Bull
Just an FYI...I had to take my boyfriend to the ER the other night because he had heart palpitations. He drank coffee and red bull ( stupid on his part). I know sometimes we need energy to work out, but I would suggest red bull! He is ok now..they got his heart rate down, but it was scary.

Here We go again...
Im thinknig about joining Weight Watchers again. I have been toying with the idea for about 6 months, but I kept giving this another shot. My problem is motivation. I want to lose weight, but sometimes I dont want it enough! Also, I have gained so much that I feel like I might be fat forever...which is a HORRIBLE outlook,…

Hey guys... I have not been losing anything, and I have been working pretty hard. I admit, I do have a cheat day once a wk, usuallly Sun. But I have been working out a lot for a month now, and I dont even log it. Once in awhile I go over my cals, probably 3 times a wk, but not by much...and like I said, dont log my work…

Fight with Boyfriend
I have gained about 40 lbs since I have been with my bf, but I gained it in the past yr due to medical conditions. A) I couldnt work out and B) I was very very depressed about my condition and was in the ER a bunch of times. I really didnt care much about losing weight at that point. Anyway, enough with the excuses. John…

weight watchers
I am thinknig about going bac k to Weight watchers AGAIN ( for the 8th? time?). I'm just losing hope. I know that this site can work, but I am still lacking so much motivation. Maybe if I am in a group setting, it would help. Of course, I would have to go to the meetings every week. But, it's 40 a month for basically the…

Doctor
My Dr recomended logging calories online to lose weight. I was pretty happy to hear that, a little support goes a long way!

The Big C
I have been reading a book that a friend gave me about a diet that is mostly protein, and the book basically explains that all of the processed food nowadays is terrible ( agreed). However, it stated that splenda and other artifical sweetners cause cancer. I dont want that! So I looked it up on the National Cancer…

Serving size/ Measuring
I just started measuring my foods again, and WOW!! Few things I noticed: salad dressing ( I was eating almost double what I actually tracked!) Cereal ( way off!) Pretty much any condiments, mayo, BBQ sauce, sugar, ect. Maybe I should get a scale or some more measuring cups or something.

Sad
I hate to be a downer, but, I'm so sad. It's finally hitting me that I'm hitting rock bottom. Most people on here have lost weight, and that's awesome! I have been on a roller coaster for a year now. Had some health problems that prevented me from working out. Anyways, with that and anxiety from not knowing what was wrong…

I miss working out!!
This sucks! I have not been able to work out like I usually do in MONTHS!! I have costocondritis ( inflamation of ribcage), and my Dr told me to rest. So I do, then I start to feel better, and I work out hard again, and my chest hurts again that night! I used to work out really hard. I love the gym. I feel totally…

Frustrated!
O.K I've been doing MFP for months now, and I'm just not getting anywhere! WHY?! Feel free to look at my dieary and see if I am doing anything wrong. I usually do not count non-starchy veggies, I eat salad daily. That's the only thing I don't track. Also...I might miss a day on the weekend....because sometimes I'm just not…

Always over in Sugar!
Im wondering if I'm eating too much sugar or is my sugar too low on here? Most of the sugar I eat is natural, from fruit. I eat 2 fruits per day, but somehow I am over my sugar every day! Anyone else?

Eating before bed
I have developed a horrible habit of eating right before I go to bed. I work nights ( which doesn't help the situation ) and I get home, and to dull the stress of work, I eat! Sometimes I am genuinly hungry, but most of the time, I just want a reward for working hard. Then I go straight to bed. Sometimes, I even wake up in…
