Love to be a part of this group!
I'm 46 and weigh 213...down 15 lbs since last year. I'm perimenopausal and I have PCOS. I'm having a hard time losing the weight at a steady pace despite staying under my calorie goal. I need to add exercise and I know it will help but I hate exercising and that sucks because I used to love exercising.

Cleaning as exercise!?
Every Monday I clean a karate school and I wear my HRM. According to my HRM, I burn well over 200 calories in an hour and a half to two hours. This includes vacuuming, sweeping, and mopping the entire place. I do sweat. Should I count it or not?? I just don't know. Everything we do burns calories..

Fad Diets VS Healthy Eating and Exercise
I wonder if anyone has ever done a study on how many people lost weight with fad diets and kept it off versus a study on those who lost weight with healthy eating and exercise and kept it off. If I were a betting person, (sometimes I am) I'd bet those who lost weight by eating healthier and exercising were more sucessful…

Cabbage Soup Diet
I really am interested to see if anyone has tried it and stuck with it for the full seven days and if it worked! I love cabbage and I feel like I could at least do the diet for a couple days but seven??

"banking" calories
Is it possible to bank those extra calories you just can't seem to eat? I have some days where I just don't eat all of my calories because I am simply not hungry. Some days I go over because I can't get enough to eat. On the days where I don't eat all of my cals do you think it evens out by the end of the week as long as I…

HYPOTHYROIDISM
I was wondering if anyone on MFP was ever diagnosed with having a hypothyroid. I seem to have many symptoms of it and was curious how it has affected weight gain/loss...I'm seeing my doctor this week...

Gain over 20 lbs but only go up 1 size in jeans??
I just don't understand how I gained over 20 lbs but I only went up one size in clothes! There are people who say "I don't weigh myself, I just judge by my clothes". Well I tried that and guess what? I only went up one size but when I finally got on the scale I was 20 lbs heavier! How is that possible?? I am now working on…

Need serious motivation!!!
I need to somehow find it inside me to get back into shape. Everytime I start working out and eating right, I end up stopping after a couple weeks. I just don't know what it is going to take to get there and stay there. I feel trapped inside myself. I've gained weight and I hate myself for it! My clothes are tight and…

Appetite Suppressants
Does anyboy know any good appetite suppressants that I can get over the counter? I try to eat right and eat lean protein and fiber and all that but still want to eat large quantities of food! I can't stand being hungry and I can't stand wanting to eat so much!

No Bikini for me
I wore one when I was 17. I looked good. I had a flat stomach and everything was in it's place! But I wasn't in shape. I was a teenager. I ate horrible and NEVER exercised. That lifestyle continued and I ended up at 228lbs and had 3 babies. I decided enough was enough and I wanted to wear a bikini again. No more *dresses*…

Too many calories to eat!!!
I will have 415 cals left after my workout tonight! I will get home around 9:30pm. I don't want to eat that many cals before I go to bed! What should I do??

Discrepancy in Calorie count
I really am struggling with this...Why does MFP say I need 1330 calories a day to lose 1lb per week but other calorie counting sites say more? Example; caloriecount.com says 1600...??
-
Calories on MFP too low for me??
Hey everyone, Looked into how many calories I should consume to lose weight and according to my weight, age, gender etc, I should consume just over 1400. MFP says 1200...Is that too low? Is that why I'm not losing??

Do any of you fellow women ever feel completely discouraged
I gain 3-5 pounds during PMS week! All I can think of doing is drinking tons of water to combat it! It is extremely discouraging when I hop on the scale and see that jump! I feel like giving up...Does this happen to you too?

Alcohol is derailing my efforts! This sucks!
Trying to lose weight is so much harder than it was 9 years ago. I like to drink on the weekends but I find my weight loss almost cancels itself out after a weekend of partying and that just plain sucks! It was never an issue in the past as long as I stayed within my daily calories or points. But now, being 38 years old,…
