My ongoing journey
I'm in my late 40's and I've battled my eating my entire life. About 18 months ago my doctor put me on vyvanse and I dropped 80lbs on it. However, I've dropped 70lbs in the past and put it back on, so I knew I needed a plan. About 3 months ago I started seeing a personal trainer, who advised me to eat more. I couldn't eat…

Goals for the week
(mid week edition) I did this a few years ago, during weight loss attempt 3(4?) and I liked that it helped keep me focused. Also works for typing out my thoughts/ideas and then post again later. Goals for the week of 7/3. 1) Get in at least 1200 calories a day (I know, it sounds odd..but my vyvanse kills my appetite...) 2)…

Hello I've just got to let you know
I'm back....again.... The third time is the first time every time. I've logged in 10 days in a row now, and have been really really logging for the last 5 of them.

Exercise calories tracking
I'm sure this has been asked 100's of times....but my search-fu is weak... Yesterday I walked 10 minutes on my elliptical and then did a 2 minute cool down. Since the cool down is a slow pace, I didn't enter it into MFP, just the 10 minutes. My machine says I burned just shy of 100 calories (including the 2 minute cool…

What a day......
A buddy and I grabbed some beers after work. Now, I had MORE than enough calories left for the day (I also walked 6 miles in anticipation...) However I still over shot my target by 500 calories. It wasn't the beer so much as it was the horrible food option I picked (tortillas with queso, guac and salsa). Though there is…

Weekly Goals (part 2)
So, I had a post about my goals for the week that I stopped doing, as I was really struggling. I think I'm back on track after last 3 weeks. Goal for this week: Monday is beer night...I won't skip it BUT I want to control my drinking AND my food. Last time I had enough calories budgeted for 4 beers + dinner. Well...7…

subway breakfast :(
I tend to like subway, especially when I'm not avoiding carbs. This morning, I tried their breakfast...and I thought it was awful. Now, forget the 3ish dollars, I'm more upset over the 440 calories that the meal cost. I did throw some of it away, so I can prolly knock it down to 400 but still that's a bit more than what…

but you lose weight so easily...
I hate hate HATE that comment. I've been married for almost 20 years now (egads!), and in that time I've mostly been fat/obese. Twice I've been a more normal weight. Once I dropped 75 lbs (gained 60ish), and another time I dropped 30 lbs (gained 40 ish). NO, I don't lose 'weight' easily. I go hungry (at times), I force…

Goals for the week
So, I dropped only 1 pound this week, a little less actually. The week started strong but ended weak as I had a mid week weigh in that said I was down 2.5 lbs. So, I have a primary goal this week: 1) Follow through on the logging. Don't 1/2 *kitten* it after doing good for 4 days. I also have 2 secondary goals: 2) more…

Hi Everybody~
HI all! I'm a 43 year old male who has been fat most of his life. Last 8 (ish) years I've been up and down the scale 245 ->169 -> 232 -> 198->235-> 228 I've always been able to shed weight when I put my mind to it, though about 2 years ago I was diagnosed with IBS and since then losing weight has been like pulling teeth.…
