Carbs and Diabetes
I am diabetic and confused about daily carb intake. What I hear is "low carb diet." I'm averaging around 215 carbs a day. Am I even close to where I should be?

On my way!!!
Today marked three months on this MFP journey. I hopped on the scale and I was 24 pounds lighter! I was hoping for a 25 pound loss, but I will definitely take the 24. The weight loss is nice, the clothes fitting again is nice, the compliments are nice, but above all, I just feel better. Imagine that!!!!! Another 25+ this…

It's All About the Belt!!!
How many times have you got on that scale anticipating a great number only to be deflated with a minimal weight loss??? Screw the scale!!! You will see that my profile says 0 pounds lost and it will stay there! My scale is my belt and I am one notch down!!!! That is all that matters! Don't let the scale rule your life!…

Suffering from Over Phatitis
Today I suffered from the 24-hour Over Phatitis Virus!!! Ate like a frickin' pig! Why is this listed under "Success Stories?" Because it will be only a 24 hour virus and I will be back on track in the morning instead of letting the virus take hold for a week, a month, etc. The sad thing is it wasn't even worth it! Feel…

Success Doesn't Last
I can't be the only one that has experienced this - lose the weight by eating proportionally, exercising, and just being committed - only to regain the weight later. Stories?

Getting Started AGAIN!
Getting started again! I wonder how many times I have said that. I just finished my 35th year of teaching and am ready to focus once again on getting into better shape. I have fluctuated between 250-310 pounds for probably 10 years - up and down, up and down. I should get a second job as a yo-yo! I am determined to get…

Food Explosion
Yesterday I ate enough for an entire bleacher section! It was such a "food explosion" that I didn't even complete the food journal! But, I am back on track today instead of turning one bad day into a week, a month, three months, etc. Ever have those days?

Bump!

Returning once again
I joined MyFitnessPal in 2007. Historically I would religiously follow my program, entering my food, my exercise, read entries, contribute entries, etc. Well, imagine my results! When I did that I was successful I lost 50 lbs. Then I figure I have it all figures out and I would stop doing my daily entries - yeah, I don't…

Under 300
Today I achieved a personal milestone - under 300 lbs. Of course, this is about the 5th-6th time I have dropped below 300 only to go back above that weight. My goal is to make this my last appearance in the "300 Club!"

100 pound losers
I look through this forum and see these success stories and find all of you very motivating. I would love to see some food jounals of you people that have lost so much. I think it would give me some insight. Let me know if you are one that posts their food journals. Good luck to all.

Back after long absence
Fell off the wagon! Back at it again to "relose" the same 30 pounds. Depressing when you work so hard only to get "satisfied" and get lazy. It's an every day battle forever, but I will win this battle.

2 Month Hiatus
I'm back for the first time in over 2 months. Let me be the poster child for the need for being accountable. I got comfortable and starting slacking off - not charting my food or my exercise. So here I am 20 pounds heavier and "starting over again." I cannot tell you the importance of keeping track of your nutrient and…

caloric counting on machines???
Can someone tell me why when I use a machine at Gold's (elliptical, bike, treadmill etc) the calories burned are usually around half the calories shown on the myfitnesslog? Which one is correct?

It's a lifetime commitment, not a fad!
I joined Gold's Gym about 4 months ago. I had lost nearly 80 pounds in the last couple years. Then I got "satisfied" and put 35 pounds back on in no time at all. I have been going to the gym religiously and have knocked off 15 of those "regained" pounds. I'll make it back and eventually get to my goal weight, but I am a…

Back on track
I've been a member of MyFitnesPal for a couple of years, but I have "fell off the wagon" in the last year. I had lost 50 pounds in approximately 18 months - good, slow, healthy weigh loss. I was feeling great. Now for my excuse and that is exactly what it is - an excuse. I was diagnosed with charcot in my right foot. For…
