So disappointed in myself
So I used you guys religiously for 10 moths, and lost 45lbs. Then the dreaded plateau. I went to nutritionist, my Cross fit coach, and even a sports performance consultant and had teh full VO2 Max workup done... NOTHING seems to break the curse of the plateau. Then major changes at work, stress etc crept intto my life....…

I'm just about done
OK, MFP'ers I am about done.... I have been a regular here logging my meals, and working hard in the gym.... for the first 5 months I was very successful, and lost 45lbs...

#45 Plateau...
Been logging my world religiously for almost 1/2 year.. and show a 45# loss, and feel better.

Been stuck here for almost a month... I'll gain 1,…

Are you a Viking?
So my first real NSV came in the form of dropping from a size 48 pant to 44... Back in the days of the Vikings, leaders would take their troops ashore then push their ships back out to sea while on fire. Legend has it, it was to motivate the troops by making it abundantly apparent there is no way home. How many take the…

The hidden evil of low cal
So now that I have become fairly proficient with MFP, I changed around the items being tracked and reported. In my case along with calories fat, and protein, I have added cholesterol and sodium. So the hidden evil of low calorie seems to be they REALLY pump up the sodium levels to some pretty crazy levels, especially when…

Did you know
Did you know if you go into the settings menu and go to the Change Diary settings, you can pick other things to track in your food consumption. and that you can change back and forth to get an even better picture of what you are eating. I added Sodium to my list of tracked items... DAMN, you would be shocked at the high…

Not even close to giving up BUT !!!!
All MFP's I am in this for the long haul, been working hard for 3 months with some "ok" results (23lbs) but like many many many before me, the lack of any measurable success after a rather consistent loss pattern and despite truly dedicated effort begins to wear you down. You do start to think why work so hard if nothing…

BodyMedia Fit and MFP
Hi, I did a search on the body media Fit after seeing in the most recent MFP release that they now support it and had a few questions for those using it now. How long have you used it? Did you use anything else before? Do you still use it? Do you like it? Have you linked it to MFP Would you consider it a worthwhile…

Who else has an unintentional saboteur ?
Like many, I have started and failed many times to lead a better and more active lifestyle. Each time I start with my wife and we head down the path. The difference is she is a diet ONLY type person. I am more of a lifestyle, workout change the mindset kind of person. As we start the path together, weight loss is…

What broke your camel
People hear and see things about why they should lose weight all the time. You see thin friends, you see mourning shows, and your doctor may even had suggested it... But decisions always seem to come down to ONE EVENT that "breaks the camels back" I'm curious. If you only had one sentence to describe "your broken camel…

Afraid to weigh in
Been getting serious about weight loss and healthier life styles for a couple months now. Before my OCD on the MFP site, I lost almost 8 pounds in 4 weeks. Since being on MFP and reading the many stories and issues from you I have NOT wanted to get on the scale for fear of not seeing the progress that all my effort SHOULD…
