"in-between" clothes?
Greetings, Since starting MFP seven weeks ago, I have lost 20.lbs (YAY me!). Now, I am noticing my clothes are looser (YAY me again!). However, I still have more to lose. How do I deal with the clothes that are now too big? I don't want to invest in "me-at-220-clothes" just to have to replace them when I reach my goal?…

I am just finishing my first at MFP, have lost 13 pounds (30-pound goal), and am generally pretty active. at age 45.I used to run, but not for MANY years! Is this an unrealistic goal?

losing too fast??
Greetings, I started MFP last Saturday at 239 .lbs. After less than a week of calorie counting and my usual exercise (cycling/walking), I am weighing in at 234 .lbs. In the short time I've used MFP, I realize (like so many others have!) that I have been really OVERestimating my caloric intake. Is my quick drop normal for…
