Stalled Weight
My weight loss stalled at around 9/2018 after dropping approximately 60 pounds over the prior 15 months; this being slightly more than half my goal weight to drop. Two things happened at around the same time. I was at last able to start a fitness regimen and turned to biking; in pleasant weather (no precip/little wind)…

Balancing Caloric Intake Throughout the day
My weight loss had really slowed recently though I knew that the calories were where they needed to be. So I dropped them by 200 per day and not much changed. This past week I tried balancing my calories better throughout the day and added 2 more snacks (now eating 6 times per day) and boom first near 1 pound loss in a…

Increasing Metabolism
I was reading on-line last night about ways to boost my metabolism and found at more than one site that both coffee and green tea provide a boost. Has anyone here found that to work. Typically I drink 1-2 cups of coffee a day, or switch to decaf after two cups. I've never drank much green tea, though I like it, but would…

Naturally getting enough calcium, iron, and potassium
I was just reviewing weekly nutrition information on my past 7 weeks. Things seem to be balancing out very well overall. The glaring exceptions are a consultant shortfall in my calcium, iron, and potassium intake. On the other hand I'm coming in significantly over on Vit A and Vit C. Any suggestions without using…

Proactivity in Trying to Fathom Why I Simply Stopped Something So Effective
Today I spent some time looking over data on here and on the Fitbit site to determine when I simply quit walking and exercise, as well as tracking/planning my food intake after taking off a considerable amount of weight using this system. The date all logging stopped and the fitness stopped was precisely May 14, 2014,…

Victories for Today
Yesterday my husband got the Withings scale operating having not had one at home to weigh on in several months. So my first home weigh-in was today without the shoes I wore at the last doctors visit two weeks ago. So this number down today of a rounded up 6 pounds is probably not truly accurate as the last was taken on a…

Goal Setting
I am horrible at setting goals and following through. Not just with weight loss, but with all things. Bottomline is that I really suck at discipline. Before two weeks ago, I was virtually living life like a sloth, rarely moving and sleeping excessive hours each day, while doing nothing much to control my eating. Part of…

Hey, Are Y'all Still Here?
I dropped off MFP after considerable success for reasons unknown today. Came back on board two weeks ago and was poking around tonight finding I'm still part of this seemingly inactive group. Anyone still out there?

Prayer Request
Thank you, my sisters, for your prayers, which I covet. I have an MFP friend who recently wrote a post in defense of someone who told her she was obsessed with her body, since she has lost a massive amount of weight. Though my weight loss is negligible in comparison, I hope....no pray, that the only obsession others see in…

How to Navigate a Horrible Day
You should know that this day started off horribly for me. I assist my daughter two days a week by caring for her 4 month old so she can keep her job at a wonderful preschool which he will be able to attend at no cost next year. After a very demanding day yesterday which had me on the go from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. I went to bed…
