thank you
I think this group is a wonderful idea. So many of us struggle with emotional issues that can really hamper weight loss. I struggle with emotional eating daily. I shame myself every day for it which just keeps encouraging the behavior. Thank you for this group.

Opinions needed
So. my husband and I are both significantly overweight. For the past 16 months I have been watching my calories, exercising more, just trying to be more active. My husband and I were at Denny's the other day and I was talking about how many calories were in the food I was eating and my hubby shushes me and tells me that I…

Help, confused about calories
So, when I started out on MFP my daily calorie intake goal was at 1867 calories. Since losing almost 50 pounds my calorie needs have decreased to 1560 calories. My question is, how do I calculate how many calories are in something when the serving size is based on an 1800~2000 calorie a day diet. I am thinking my weight…

Any changes?
So, I have lost about 25 pounds. These pictures are me at 338 and 323. I don't see a difference. I am not taking anymore pics until I get down to 313. I think I will take pics every 10 pounds.

So funny!!!!
Here's an old joke that I've always found hilarious: A man goes to the doctor, and the doctor tells him that if he doesn't lose 70 pounds fast he's going to die. The man goes home devastated. He picks up the newspaper and sees an ad for a weight loss program. He figures, what the hell, and calls the number listed in the…

Finding it hard to stay motivated
So, I have lost about 18 pounds since January 1st. I feel great. I can fit into clothes that I hadn't been able to wear, ever. Lately, the past week really, I seem to have lost my drive. I don't know why. I still want it physically, but mentally I can't get myself in the game. I don't understand. This is so hard. It's even…

Portions
Ok, I have a silly question. When I am making a dinner that has several ingredients, how do I figure out the portion size so I can do my calories and what not. Heres an example, Tonight I am making a chicken noodle casserole. I use two cans of chicken, 4 cans of cream of mushroom soup, a can of peas and 2 bags of enriched…

Victory for me
So, almost 2 months ago, I bought a pair of lane bryant jeans, size 30. To my horror, I couldn't even button them. I weighted myself and found out that I was 343 pounds. That was the worst day of my life. Today I put on a pair of 26's that I have never worn and they fit. I weight 327 pounds!!! This is a great day for me.…

Scale finally moved
I am so happy. Finally, after a week, the scale moved. I forgot to weight in yesterday, so the weight lost isn't showing what I really lost, but yesterday I was 332.6 and today I am 330.6. Woo Hoo! I was so close to giving up. I got so discouraged. I can do this. Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Nutrition Facts For Foods

Kinda personal, bur weight loss related
So, I have a lot of weight to lose. This week my scale will not budge. It has been at 332 all week. I was just wondering if menstruation can cause this? I have been excercising like crazy, and doing well with my calories, but the scale is not moving. Is it my period doing this, or is it something else?
