17 WEEK CHALLENGE - 40 LBS TO GO
Some of my neighbors and I have agreed to set a goal of losing 40 lbs. in the next 17 weeks; our measurements start today, so we weighed in and met this morning. We're so excited! Going to work on motivating each other, connecting here and on FB, and overall keeping each other accountable while we remove this weight once…

The Truth About Sugar
I need some opinions on sugar. I set it up as a thing to "track" and MFP says I should only have 24 grams of sugar a day. Well, that's not very much when you eat one banana, or have any other kind of fruit. I'm working on 1,200 calories, I can do that no problem... I'm not eating sugary foods (i.e. cakes/etc.) WHEN I'm…

I just started reading the book (I bought…

How many weigh daily? Weekly? More/less often? I used to weigh myself daily when I first started (lost 38 lbs so far, 25 to go) but I have taken a "break" from the diet these last few months (maintained/gained 7 back, ready to lose it again!) Trying to decide how often I should weigh myself. Thoughts???

I'm stuck! ~ Advice for that awful "plateau"
I'm stuck! I've been at roughly the same weight for 30 days now; have lost almost 40 lbs since January, I have about 20 - 25 more I want to remove. I have been eating OK, following mostly 1200 cal/day, and started walking, but the scale isn't moving, and my clothes don't fit differently... I don't think I'm gaining muscle,…
