calories up or calories down?
I have been on MFP since 11/2011. I have lost (slowly) 80 pounds. In the beginning I followed MFP's suggestions of 1200 calories and was stalled for a loooong time.

Do you feel like a loser when u walk?
Why do I feel like a total failure if I have to walk a little on a "run"? I am now up to running for a mile and then walking for 2 minutes and then jogging another mile.

MFP doctor recommended
After writing a quick email to my doctor explaining that I wasn't really losing weight, I was surprised to see that one recommendation she had for me was this website! But I am still discouraged because she mentioned trying this site but eating 1800 calories OR LESS. Her second thought was that I visit a bariatric center.…

I am doing the C25K (week 6). I am returning to running after a two year fat-fest. :laugh: . I SO want to love running! I dream of waking up one day and find that I love it, but alas, so far I don't.
