I'm mad I need to lose weight.
This is a bit of a vent, but after losing about 25lbs last year, I put it back on plus some this year. I'm literally the biggest I've ever been. I know I need to lose the weight - and it's not about "looking good" or "fitting into old clothes" but more because I know it's better for me now and in the long term. My family…

Weight loss slowed to a trickle...
Hello all. So good news is I’ve lost 30lbs since mid June. 😁👍🏽 Very excited about that. So here’s the so-so part. I have my calorie deficit set at 2lbs per week. I’m not expecting to lose 2lbs every week but I figure between 1-1.5lbs would be good. But I’m noticing my weight loss is slowing down to a trickle. To answer the…

Plateau...2 weeks in
Good morning. I woke up about a month ago and said ok, today I’m going to start and I did 😁. I knew I had to make changes and I believed I was doing ok. Unfortunately it seems like I’ve hit a plateau...3 weeks in, ugh. I have my calories set to lose 2lbs a week. I have minimum 55lbs to lose (& some people would tell me I…

NSV on the Scale
So, had my "official" weekly weigh-in today and I am the same weight I was at the beginning of the month! :D I'm so happy about this because I've been extremely frustrated since I've gone through 3 scales in the past 3 weeks and I haven't been able to get a correct weigh in (the previous scale I was using had me up 3lbs…

Changed Scale...UGH!!!
My brother recently moved out and took his scale with him. So now I'm using my mom's scale and I now have NO CLUE what my real weight is :# My "official" weigh in day is tomorrow but I jumped on this am just to see how I'm doing and I'm up. Which means I'm probably going to be higher than my last weigh in when I officially…

Thinking of trying TDEE (-20%)
I gained about 20lbs in about 3 months due to quitting my restaurant job (on my feet 8-9 hrs day/5 days a week) and helping out with a sick family member (at times crazy stressful - not moving a lot and just eating a lot while in the hospital). I just started on MFP again in the past couple of weeks (Friday is my 3rd weigh…

New Here - Pastry Chef :-)
Hi Everyone. I'm not a big "poster" but can use all the encouragement I can get :-). I've been working on trying to lose some weight in the past couple of months. My goal is to lose about 65-85lbs by next May (already lost 20). Long story short, I own a pastry company so I'm surrounded by sugary things all day long...which…
