Here's to starting 2014 strong with new active friends!
In 2013 I lost 40 something pounds. Then I slacked off at the end of the year and gained some back. I'm in this for my health and to feel more confident about myself. Hopefully this yeear I can stay motivated and not lose focus. Not sure how much I have left to lose but it's going to be a worthy battle. I'm looking for…

Onederland = 32.5 pounds lost so far = a place I've missed
I started my return to onederland and beyond in January, lost ground when I got the flu and restarted in February. Here it is, July and I've entered onederland! I've been here before and know the joys it holds. Let me start at the beginning. I was always a heavy child. I hit 100 pounds in elementary school and didn't look…

Losing different second time around
About five years ago I lost 90 something pounds. I kept this off fairly well for a couple of years. I never quite made my goal weight then. Then I started slowly creeping back a little at a time.

19 pounds down...about 56 pounds to go
Well I'm about a quarter of the way to my goal weight. People are telling me I look smaller and I've had to give up two pair of jeans since I started. I still have smaller jeans so I can at least avoid spending money and having to wear a belt! This is my second time on the weight loss journey, about 5 years ago I lost…

BMR, TDEE, what does it all mean?
I've been using myfitnesspal for over 45 days now and mostly for the logging abilities. My usage of the message boards has been minimual. I've seen people talk about how you shouldn't eat below your BMR and that 20% of your TDEE is a good place to be eating, but what does all that mean? I've looked at BMR calculators…

New to the Message Boards
I started using MFP as an app on my phone for about a month - never even considered the website at first. Lately I've been checking out the forums and have decided to start being more active here. Hopefully that will help me on my weight loss journey. I lost 90 pounds once before and gained between 50-60 of it back due to…
